Evaluation of a Psychoeducational Program to Help Adolescents Cope

Over 20% of a sample of 706 young adolescents identified themselves as experiencing difficulties and being in need of specific help in coping. A psychoeducational Program Helping Adolescents Cope was offered to 112 of those. This was adapted, with permission, from the Coping with Stress Course, devised by Albano et al. (1997). Participants progress was monitored and evaluated using qualitative and quantitative measures. The psychoeducational Program was found to be significantly effective in reducing participants depression scores, in reducing their reliance on unproductive means of coping and overall in helping them cope. This article presents the methodology used, key results and discusses the implications of this work for professionals working with adolescents in the area of prevention and coping.Claire Hayes is a clinical and educational psychologist who has recently moved from her post of lecturer in the National University of Ireland Maynooth to develop the Break through Anxiety service as a private practitioner.

邓小平的价值主体和价值评价思想论析

邓小平的价值思想内容十分丰富,是一个较完整的理论体系。邓小平的价值观是以人民为价值主体和评价主体的价值观。以人民群众为价值主体,是由我党的性质、根本宗旨以及人民群众在历史上的作用决定的。以人民群众为价值主体,必然要求以人民群众为评价主体,以人民群众的利益为评价标准。“三个有利于”价值标准,是以人民为价值主体和评价主体的价值标准,是以最广大人民群众的根本利益为评价标准的价值标准,也是科学的价值标准。     

论医患纠纷损害赔偿范围的确定--对《医疗事故处理条例》第49条的质疑

<医疗事故处理条例>与民事法律原则以及审判实践的冲突,造成当前患者获得司法救济的困难,同时法官在审判中遭遇诸多难题.本文通过解释医疗损害方面的概念,引用最新的案例,对国内相关法律的比较分析,以及论述鉴定对裁判的不当影响,从几个角度对"不属于医疗事故不赔偿"观点进行否定.并针对医学会鉴定的缺陷,提出法官审理案件中3种可行的方法限制鉴定机构的权限;事故鉴定结论仅为证据;司法鉴定、医学会鉴定、法官共同判断侵权事实.

Community Penalties in the United States

The author discusses some background matters concerning the US criminal justice systems that may provide useful context for non-US readers, and summarises the main general conclusions about the operation of community penalties from two decades' research. He also briefly summarises research concerning each of the major penalties that have been attempted. Why American jurisdictions have been comparatively unsuccessful at use of community penalties as alternatives to incarceration and whether that lack of receptivity can be changed is discussed in the conclusion.     

An Evaluation of the Use of Videotaped Evidence for Juvenile Witnesses in Criminal Courts in England and Wales

For the first time, the UK Criminal Justice Act (1991) allowed the videotaped evidence of a child to be substituted for the child's evidence-in-chief in a criminal court. The present study is an evaluation of that legislation. One hundred and fifty children were observed testifying in a criminal court in the UK. The use of the videotaped evidence and subsequent cross-examination of the child witness (usually via the closed circuit television system) was also observed. The data base from the Lord Chancellor's Department of all trials involving child witnesses in England and Wales was also analysed. The results showed that the introduction of the video technology into the criminal courts reduced the levels of stress of child witnesses but did not increase the conviction rates.     

犯罪的严重性：概念与评价

犯罪的严重性是犯罪的客观危害与主观恶性的统一,它构成决定刑罚的分配的重要基准.对犯罪的严重性的评价应该以体现犯罪的客观危害与主观恶性的所有因素为标准.对犯罪的客观危害的评价应该考虑犯罪所侵害的权益的意义、犯罪的危险的大小、所造成的实际损害的轻重、犯罪的对象、时间、地点与实施程度;对犯罪的主观恶性的评价应该考虑犯罪的罪过形式、犯罪的动机与目的、认识的内容、犯罪的起因、犯罪人的生理与精神状况、犯罪人的身份以及犯罪人在犯罪中的表现.鉴于作为犯罪的严重性的组成部分的客观危害与主观恶性构成既统一又对立的关系,对犯罪的严重性的统一评价应该相应地遵循对立统一律.

评估兴边富民行动的实施效果:以内蒙古边境旗市为例的时间序列分析

在兴边富民行动开展10周年之际,评估兴边富民行动的实施效果具有重大的理论和现实意义。本文利用内蒙古边境旗市统计数据定量分析了兴边富民行动的实施效果。回归结果表明,总体而言内蒙古兴边富民行动实施效果并不令人满意,尽管第二产业获得加速发展,公路建设成效显著,也促进了边境地区的商品贸易,但基本上没有实现加速当地经济发展、加快改善农牧民生活水平的目的,而且卫生事业发展相对落后。
