Harming America: Corporate Crime in a Context of Deregulation

ABSTRACT

Like many Republican presidential candidates before him, Donald J. Trump campaigned on a pro-business, anti-regulation platform, and since his election in November 2016, he has directed his administration to move forward with deregulation in many arenas, including consumer financial protections, environmental controls, and workplace safety among others. Past efforts to roll back regulations governing certain industries, such as the savings and loan and the mortgage industries, have had harmful consequences for the general public or for specific interest groups. In this study, we review what the Trump administration has accomplished with regard to deregulation to date. Then, based on past deregulatory fiascos, we theorize the harmful collateral consequences that may result from this most recent swing of the regulatory-deregulatory pendulum.     

Bringing the Falklands/Malvinas Home: Young People's Everyday Engagements with Geopolitics in Domestic Space

This paper draws on recent research examining feminist and everyday geopolitics to focus on the relatively neglected domestic sphere as a space where geopolitical events like the Falklands/Malvinas war are learnt, (re)produced, remembered and contested by young people. It presents qualitative data drawn from interviews with young people from Argentina (Río Gallegos) and the Falkland Islands (Stanley), locations with intimate connections to the 1982 war. It argues that research in domestic environments that engages the familial relations, objects and practices that embody geopolitical pasts can help make sense of how young people (are able to) express geopolitical agency.     

信用卡诈骗罪若干问题研究

我国刑法学界对信用卡诈骗罪已进行了较为深入的研讨,但就该罪的基本理论问题而言,也仍存在不少分歧。就该罪概念的界定、犯罪客体和犯罪对象、犯罪客观方面、犯罪主体等方面存在着争议问题。     

浅谈货运代理人的法律地位

在海运货运代理中货运代理人以自己的名义开展业务时可能作为代理人、承运人及居间人的三种身份状态出现。货运代理人在未取得签单权的情况下为船东揽货的行为系违反代理中的诚信义务并非双方代理。我国应借鉴国际通行做法从立法上对货代行业中存在的双方代理加以禁止。     

论挂靠企业民事责任的承担

挂靠行为是我国市场经济中存在的一个严重问题,它侵害了市场交易主体的利益,引发了相当多的纠纷。立法对这一问题没有相关规定,司法实践中有关这一问题的操作十分混乱。本文以诚实信用原则为基点,对如何解决这一问题进行了探讨,并提出了相应的立法建议。     

论信用证的严格相符

信用证(Letter of Credit简称L/C)是现在商业发展需要而非法律制度的产物,信用证平衡了买卖双方的风险负担而成为最受欢迎的一种支付方式,在国际支付中起到了不能取代的作用.严格相符(strict compliance)是信用证法律关系中一项独特的基本原则.在司法实践和商业实践中具有极高的指导意义.本文将结合案例从实质相符和程序相符两个方面讨论严格相符的条件.     

A comparison of the Russian 13% flat rate PIT evasion stratified contributions and the US tax schedule

This paper reviews the existing literature on consumer credit reporting, the most extensively used instrument to overcome information asymmetry and adverse selection problems in credit markets. Despite the copious literature in economics and some research in regulatory policy, the legal community has paid almost no attention to the legal framework of consumer credit information systems, specially within the context of the European Union. Studies on the topic, however, seem particularly relevant in view of the establishment of a single market for consumer credit. This article ultimately calls for further legal research to address consumer protection concerns and inform future legislation.      

妨碍信用卡管理罪行为方式探析

在妨害信用卡管理罪中,行为人明知其持有、运输的是"伪造的信用卡"或"伪造的空白信用卡"是一种对行为对象的明知,行为人虽然对"伪造的信用卡"和"伪造的空白信用卡"施加了影响,因为其不具有合法性,与刑法所保护的信用卡管理秩序也就不存在必然的本质与现象的联系,也就不能反映和体现信用卡管理秩序,因而是行为对象而不是犯罪对象.伪造居民身份证的行为与以骗领信用卡方式实施的妨害信用卡管理的行为之间构成手段与目的牵连关系,但由于刑法明确规定这种情况以妨害信用卡管理罪定罪处罚,因而虽然是牵连犯,但不能适用从一重处断的原则,而应按刑法的有关规定处罚,这是牵连犯处断原则的例外.     

构建警察信用——对我国目前警察信用状况的探讨

诚实信用是社会道德的基石。警察活动中可以有条件地允许利诱 ,有限制地使用带有欺骗性要素的侦查谋略。但警察行为具有一种社会示范作用 ,若侦查谋略使用不当 ,可能损害公民仅利 ,损害社会善良风俗 ,而且也会损害刑事司法效益甚至整个国家的信用体系。因此 ,警察信用原则应该在警察活动中得到贯彻实施。
