适度扩大警察职权 构建行政管束制度——从“疯裸女久卧街头无人问津”谈起

女精神病人久卧街头,警察拒绝救助引发争议。根据《人民警察法》,公安机关有协助救助的义务;依照《城市生活无着的流浪乞讨人员救助管理办法》,对于城市流浪乞讨人员,公安机关不能再强制收容遣送。由于缺乏法律依据,没有行政管束权力,警察无法发挥协助救助的作用。警务实践已经突破警察法建立的框架,迫使我们增加适应社会需要的新的法律规范,适度地扩大警察职权,构建行政管束制度。     

论同案被告证人资格及证言证明力

传统观点认为,刑事被告人与案件结果存在利害关系,因此其不具有证人资格。随着世界范围内证人资格的扩张,刑事被告人与案件的利害关系逐渐与证人资格脱离开来,同案被告人的供述可以作为证言使用。当然,同案被告人与案件利害关系的强弱影响到其证言的证明力。具体来说,由于同案共犯之间存在直接利害关系,其口供在一般情况下需要补强;而同案非共犯以及非同案共犯由于与案件不存在利害关系,因此其口供证明力较强,无需补强即可作为定案依据。     

匿名威胁爆炸案的新特点及其现场处置对策

近些年北京发生匿名威胁爆炸案件显现猛升势头,并出现一些新的特点.对这类案件的现场处置应遵循"信、严、快、判、细、敢"六字方针.     

关于刑事错案纠正过程中相关程序问题的思考

程序公正是实现实体公正的前提,用不当程序纠正错案,不但会影响到错案的纠正,而且会再一次损害司法机关的威信和法律的尊严,甚至会出现出新的错案。纠正错案,必须遵循刑事诉讼的基本制度,严格遵守法定程序。     

Touch DNA collection from improvised explosive devices: A comprehensive study of swabs and moistening agents

Improvised explosive devices (IEDs) are used in devastating terrorist attacks worldwide and daily in Thailand. Touch DNA deposited during IED assembly are subjected to intense heat and pressure, resulting in rare events of usable DNA profiles obtained from real casework. No study has simultaneously evaluated both swab brands and moistening agents for touch DNA collection from substrates encountered in IED evidence. In this study, we investigated the effects of swab brands and moistening agents on DNA collection from adhesive tape, a common IED substrate. A full factorial design using four cotton swab brands (two forensic and two medical cotton swabs) and six moistening agents (DNA-free water, phosphate-buffered saline, ethanol, sodium dodecyl sulfate, isopropanol, and lysis buffer) was employed (24 total combinations). Using buffy coats, we found that DNA recovery depended on both swab brands and moistening agents (p < 0.05). The optimal method recovered significantly higher DNA amount from real IED cases compared to the standard Royal Thai Police method. Percentages of high partial profiles also increased. Our results changed the standard operating protocol of the Thai police. Other commonly found substrates from IED cases are being investigated to maximize the evidential value obtained from touch DNA.     

犯罪现场分析中的事件性质分析

现场分析的一项重要任务是判明事件性质,是犯罪案件还是其他事件。有些现场不难判明事件性质,而有些现场想要判明事件性质却颇为困难,在这种情况下,现场分析应将事件性质问题作为重要议题。文章从分析事件性质、分析假案、分析案件性质三个方面对事件性质进行了分析论述。     

论案例教学法在法律与电子法务教学中的实践

在法律与电子法务专业教学中需注重理论与实践的结合,案例教学法正是最佳的选择。在选择案例方面所选案例应该是原始的、未经任何改变的材料,应具有结论的不确定性。在讲授分析案例时需注意掌握案例分析的一般方法,将法律、法理与案情相结合,注重案例讨论组织的规范性,注重培养学生使用电子网络数据库查找案例的能力。     

The European Court of Justice and its political impact

This article reviews recent advances in the study of the European Court of Justice (ECJ) and its political impact at the European and member state levels. New quantitative as well as qualitative analyses show with great empirical precision that member state preferences guide the Court. The article summarises these findings, but argues that greater attention needs to be given to the (over-)constitutionalisation of EU law in order to fully capture the political impact of ECJ jurisprudence. Even if European judges are less activist than is often assumed and individual decisions are more restrained in the face of member state opposition, incrementally, case law evolves in a highly expansive fashion. And, exercising caution regarding unrealistic expectations about quasi-deterministic judicial law-making, it is found that the Court’s constitutionalised jurisprudence impacts heavily on European and member state policy-making.     

不认罪案件中适用独立量刑程序的理论分析 ——基于新司法改革背景

我国当前实行的是相对独立的量刑程序模式,尽管该模式在被告人认罪案件中具有可行性,但在不认罪案件中却存在着较多的局限性,独立的量刑程序模式则可有效避免现有模式的弊端。独立的量刑程序更符合定罪与量刑之间的差异性要求,也更有利于实现程序价值和落实庭审实质化。此外,在案件繁简分流、认罪认罚从宽等新的司法改革背景下,不认罪案件中适用独立的量刑程序已经逐步具备了可行性。     

Towards virtuous and ethical organisational performance in the context of corruption: A case study in the public sector

With the increasing number of ethical violations reported across the public sector, the emphasis on ethics and values in governance is on the rise. Corruption is widely accepted as a form of unethical behaviour that can have detrimental effects on organisations as well as society at large. Research calls for empirical studies focusing on the contextual factors surrounding corruption. Based on the Contextually Based Human Resource Theory and using the case study method, this paper examines the role of context through a systematic analysis of corruption in a public sector organisation. We integrate corruption and human resource literature to understand employee behaviour, employee relations, HRM strategies, and organisational outcomes in the context of organisational corruption.
