Crime,detection rate,and the police: A macro approach

Dutch criminality and its relation to the performance of police and justice have only recently been analyzed at the macro level (e.g., at the level of municipalities or the whole country). This type of approach is a useful supplement to analyses at the micro level (that of individuals), which are more common in Dutch empirical criminological research. The main results of such a macro approach are presented in this article. We conclude that the per capita numbers of youth, divorced people, and unemployed contribute significantly to the crime rate. The police strength and solving rates are important factors as well. Analysis of the production process of the police reveals that detecting one more case of driving under the influence is far more expensive than solving one more other crime or handling one more traffic accident. The results are combined to sketch a cost-benefit approach of different strategies in allocating more resources to the police. Allocating extra resources to solving more cases of vandalism gives the best cost-benefit ratio.     

对刑法上客体的再认识

从哲学理论上讲,客体就是行为作用、行为指向的对象,而作为法律关系内容的社会关系不过是为法律所刻意确认并加以调整,由一定的法律行为所引起的产物,这种社会关系本身不可能被行为所直接指向而成为行为客体。在传统的刑法理论中,刑法上的客体被仅仅局限为犯罪的客体,而在几乎所有现行刑法学教科书中,均把犯罪客体说成是犯罪行为侵犯的社会关系,这一违反哲学原理和法学原理的犯罪客体概念,本身包含着逻辑错误和定性错误。犯罪客体就是被犯罪行为直接侵害指向的人或物。     

文化安全是新时期公安工作面临的崭新课题

社会危害性与刑事违法性辨析--重在从"罪刑法定"视角观之

一个时期以来,社会危害性与刑事违法性的争论越来越引起人们的极大关注。社会危害性与刑事违法性是属于两个不同学科、不同领域的问题。在“罪刑法定”原则下,社会危害性更应当回归于犯罪学之中,而在刑法学中用法益侵害和严重的法益侵害取而代之,并且它们只有被明确规定在刑法中才能叫刑法法益侵害。这样规定,不仅剔除了“社会危害性”这一宏观、模糊的、甚至易受主观价值取向改变的犯罪定义标准,而且有利于刑事司法操作。     

ENTER THE DRAGON: INSIDE CHINESE HUMAN SMUGGLING ORGANIZATIONS*

This paper examines the inner workings of Chinese human smuggling organizations. Contrary to widely held conceptions about Chinese organized crime, most alien smugglers are otherwise ordinary citizens whose familial networks and fortuitous social contacts have enabled them to pool resources to transport human cargoes around the world. They come from diverse backgrounds and form temporary alliances to carry out smuggling operations. With the exception of a shared commitment to making money, little holds them together. The smuggling organizations mostly resemble ad hoc task forces and are assembled for specific operations. These organizations have clear divisions of labor with limited hierarchical structures. We discuss the theoretical implications of their unique organizational characteristics.     

试论忘却犯的行为性

忘却犯是指负有防止危害结果发生义务的人因为疏忽大意的过失而未尽职责致使该结果发生从而构成的不纯正不作为犯。忘却犯是历来确定行为概念时不得不面临而又最难逾越的障碍。只有将行为定义为“体现了主体的心理事实、能对社会生活产生重大影响的身体动静”方可正确地说明“犯罪是行为”这一命题。     

生产、销售有毒、有害食品罪的成立与中止

生产、销售有毒、有害食品罪属于抽象危险犯，我国《刑法》144条规定：在生产、销售的食品中掺入有毒、有害的非食品原料足以严重危害人体健康的，才能认定抽象危险的产生，才成立犯罪。这种抽象危险产生后，也只意味着作为未遂的危险的发生，并不意味着既遂。故在抽象危险产生后，实害发生之前，只要行为人及时采取有效措施避免实害发生的，仍能成立犯罪中止。本罪与投放危险物质罪之间存在想象竞合关系，在两罪同时成立的情况下，应从一重处断。     

论社会文化对犯罪界定的影响

犯罪虽然由法律所界定，但刑法在犯罪圈的划定上受到社会化的深刻制约，犯罪的范围界定在不同国家，不同历史时期也就不尽不致。立于社会化的视界，透视各种化现象和犯罪界定的联系，不难发现犯罪界定受到法化传统，社会哲学，社会道德和社会宗教等化因素直接而深刻的影响，所以，对犯罪的理解应当植根于化之中，了解并把握立干背后制约犯罪划定的社会化机理。
