True and false intentions: asking about the past to detect lies about the future

This study is on how to discriminate between true and false intentions, an emerging area within psycholegal research. We argue that asking about the past (the planning phase) might be a promising way to detect lies about the future (intentions). That is, participants who had developed false intentions to mask their criminal intentions were assumed to provide equally long and detailed answers to questions about intentions, compared to participants who told the truth about their intentions. In contrast, we predicted that lying participants would be worse at answering questions about the planning of their stated (false) intentions, compared to participants telling the truth about the planning of their stated (true) intentions. To test our assumptions, we used a newly devised experimental set-up accommodating the main characteristics of intent. Both lying and truth-telling suspects perceived the questions on planning as more unanticipated, and more difficult to answer, compared to the questions about their intentions (future actions). Furthermore, in support of our predictions we found that the truth-telling (vs. lying) suspects' answers to questions on planning were longer and perceived as more detailed and clear, whereas liars' and truth-tellers' answers to questions on intentions were equally long and perceived as equally detailed.

Commentary on Erik Amnå: Democracy and Civil Society

Abstract

This article seeks to provide insight into the formulation of non-governmental organization (NGO) and transnational advocacy network (TAN) campaign strategy. We argue that the history of previous campaigns comprises an important aspect of the political opportunity structure faced by NGOs and TANs. We also argue that when formulating campaign strategy, campaigners should not only consider the legacies of previous campaigns, but also how their current strategies could impact on political opportunity structure and thereby influence future campaigns. This article uses the case study of the movement against seal hunting in Atlantic and Northern Canada and considers the potential for collaboration between previous opponents on other environmental issues. We examine the history of the anti-sealing campaigns looking at the various actors involved, and the impact that these campaigns had on these actors and their current relations with one another. The case study demonstrates that the history of previous campaigns matters and that history is a vital component of political opportunity structure.

亚里士多德和黑格尔的无限

亚里士多德和黑格尔分别处于人类反思第一、第三时期顶峰,在他们二者的著作中都对"有限-无限"这一对范畴作了精湛、严密的分析.通过对亚里士多德和黑格尔对这一范畴的对比分析,有助于我们现在更准确、辩证地把握它们.     

伪证罪的若干问题探讨

在我国刑法中,伪证罪侵犯的客体应该是国家司法机关刑事诉讼的正常活动。在客观方面,“虚假”是违反证人的记忆并且不符合客观事实的陈述。在伪证罪主体认定中,共同被告能否互为证人,应当以共同被告人之间是否存在实体上的共犯关系区别对待。另外,根据我国刑法规定,鉴定人不包括单位。     

虚假诉讼法律监督联动协作机制研究

由于工作机制不健全,目前虚假诉讼监督工作存在不少薄弱环节。为了更好地监督和惩治虚假诉讼,检察机关宜多管齐下、内外兼修,建立健全虚假诉讼监督联动协作机制。在政法领域,检察机关应当积极争取党委支持,强化与其他司法机关的沟通联系,统一认识、紧密配合,形成打击合力,以会签文件的方式建立联动协作工作机制。在检察系统内部,应当完善相关工作机制,实行上下级一体化办案、各部门横向协作、检察长靠前指挥,加大虚假诉讼监督工作力度。

When Children are the Least Vulnerable to False Memories: A True Report or a Case of Autosuggestion?

In this case report, a legal case revolving around the reliability of statements given by a 6‐year‐old girl is described. She claimed to have witnessed her mother being murdered by her father. Two psychological experts provided diametrically opposed opinions about the reliability of her statements. One expert, a clinician, opined that the girl's statements were based on autosuggestion whereas the other expert, a memory researcher, stated that autosuggestion was unlikely to have played a role. This case and the analysis of the experts' opinions illustrate what may happen when experts in court are unaware of the recent literature on (false) memory. That is, recent studies show that autosuggestion is less likely to occur in young children than in older children and adults. The current case stresses the importance and implications of relying on memory experts in cases concerning the reliability of eyewitness statements.
