陕甘宁边区民事调解制度的群众化

主张人民的事情由人民自己做主的决策理念,使得陕甘宁边区民事纠纷的解决主体群众化。主张以诉讼外方式为主以减少诉讼的纠纷解决理念,使得陕甘宁边区民事调解运作方式逐步民间化。陕甘宁边区民事调解群众化的过程,是我国人民调解制度形成与完善的过程,同时又是中国特色司法制度的建立过程。

颜钧的简易儒学——大中之学

颜钧是泰州学派的重要传人,他在传扬泰州学派思想的过程中试图从理论上建立一条人人皆可进入儒学殿堂的通道,认为人人可以通过"性情神莫"登堂入室;同时他对儒学理论本身进行了至简至易的独出心裁的诠释,构建出一套新的简易儒学,以期唤起"自我"的觉醒,对明清之际早期启蒙思想产生了催化作用.     

The maharishi effect: A model for social improvement. Time series analysis of a phase transition to reduced crime in merseyside metropolitan area

Abstract

Time series analysis was used to test the hypothesis that Merseyside crime rate was reduced by a group practising Maharishi Mahesh Yogi's Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi programme. Previous research suggests that a phase transition to increased orderliness u evidenced by reduced crime rate should occur when the group size approaches the square root of 1% of the total population. Analysis of Merseyside monthly crime data and coherence group size from 1978 to 1991 shows that a phase transition occurred during March 1988 with a 13.4% drop in crime when the group size first exceeded the √1 % or Maharishi Effect threshold (p < 0.00006). Up to 1992, Merseyside crime rate has remained steady in contrast to the national crime rate which has increased by 45%. In 1987 Merseyside had the third highest rime rate of the eleven largest Metropolitan Areas in England and Wales; by 1992 it had the lowest crime rate. 40% below levels predicted by the previous behaviour of the series. There were 255,000 less crimes in Merseyside from 1988 to 1992 than would have been expected had Merseyside continued to follow the national crime trend. Home Office figures indicate savings to Merseyside could exceed £1250 million for the five year period. Demographic changes, economic variables, police practice, and other factors could not account for the changes.     

限制死刑之路径研究——以刑事附带民事调解为视角

大幅限制死刑是当前司法为最终废除死刑而进行的意义深远的探索。在众多限制死刑的途径中,通过被害人家属与被告人达成民事调解协议限制死刑的适用在司法实践中被证明行之有效。但刑事附带民事调解面对死刑适用与否依然存在不少问题,如何使其不违背公平的朴素观念,给每个死刑犯一个同等的机会;如何令其价值最大化,在事实上减少死刑适用的数量,又满足社会多方需求,是立法、司法、学界不能回避的问题,尤其不能脱离实际增加新的障碍。     

反思我国公务员录用规定

根据《公务员法》制定的《公务员录用规定（试行）》引起了人们对公务员录用工作的诸多思考。与《国家公务员暂行条例》及《国家公务员录用暂行规定》相比,《公务员法》及《公务员录用规定（试行）》对于公务员录用之规定,整体内容更全面,部分要求更明确,相关规定更科学。同时,在录用原则、考试制度等方面存在不足之处,需进一步予以完善。     

Restoring the professor and the students: a circle process and contemplative practices in a restorative justice seminar

Limited research is published on teaching restorative justice in the criminal justice or justice studies curriculum in higher education. This article contributes to the discourse on restorative justice pedagogy by discussing a restorative justice seminar that is taught in a circle process with contemplative practices. Students learn the process of circles, one of the major processes in restorative justice practice, by modeling the practice with participation and leadership. Contemplative practices enhance the learning of restorative justice with meditation and reflection.

静修与心理健康

西方心理学和精神医学界很早便注重对静修的研究，根据Roger Walsh等人的报告，静修可能导致很多好处，在生理方面，它能降低觉醒程度，增进大脑半球不同区域的同步性；在心理方面，它能促进放检，解除 催眠状态，以及促进领悟，自我理解和自我控制技能的发展，概括地说，就是有助于人的成长。高级的静修还有助于超个人目标的实现，但将静修用于心理治疗，还应该注意预防情绪不稳定，心理冲突等一系列问题。
