联合国改革与现代国际法：挑战、影响和作用

联合国的改革进程涉及诸多国际法问题，它对国家主权平等原则、不干涉内政原则和禁止以武力相威胁或使用武力原则提出了挑战。联合国改革与集体安全制度、《联合国宪章》的修改也密切相关。在联合国的改革进程中，现代国际法将发挥重要作用。同时，联合国改革又将进一步推动现代国际法的发展。     

Scale 8 Elevations on the MMPI-2 among Women Survivors of Childhood Sexual Abuse: Evaluating Posttraumatic Stress, Depression, and Dissociation as Predictors

This paper investigated elevations on Scale 8 of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 (MMPI-2) in women survivors of childhood sexual abuse (CSA) in order to assess whether symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder, depression, or dissociation account for such elevations. Participants were 73 women seeking outpatient treatment for CSA after-effects at a university-based community mental health center. A stepwise multiple regression analysis was conducted, including measures of commonly reported symptoms in CSA survivors: depression, posttraumatic stress, and dissociation. Regression analyses revealed that the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and Dissociative Experiences Scale (DES) accounted for the most variance in Scale 8 scores (59%), with the BDI as the best predictor. The Impact of Event Scale (IES) did not predict Scale 8 scores significantly above that achieved by the model above. Cross-validation results indicated good generalizability. Results suggest that depression and dissociation contribute most to scores on Scale 8. Implications of these findings for the clinical and empirical use of the MMPI-2 with CSA survivors are discussed.     

Exploring Agreement on Appropriate Responses to Domestic Violence and Sexual Trauma Across Victim Advocates,Mental Health Service Providers,and Substance Abuse Treatment Providers

Abstract

Research suggests that survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault are more at risk than the general population for substance abuse and/or mental health disorders (Kendler et al., 2000). Additionally, research suggests that survivors of both crimes are at risk to be “multiply diagnosed-have” a history of victimization, a mental health diagnosis, and abuse of alcohol and drugs (Steele & Rechberger, 2002). While advocates have called for a change in the treatment of trauma survivors to treat their multiple needs, the availability of collaborative care between victim advocates and behavioral health professionals remains questionable. Using survey data collected from victim advocates, mental health service providers, and substance abuse treatment providers, this study assesses the extent to which providers of different backgrounds agree on how to effectively and appropriately serve domestic violence and sexual assault survivors-the first step in achieving the goal of holistic care.     

公权力、私权利与法律保留——从“山西煤改”事件切入

“山西煤改”事件表明，公权力与私权利的边界如果放任政府文件自行调整，公民权利易受到肆意侵犯；但交由法律完全保留则会压制地方政府应对治理危机的能力。对此，在中国的现实与制度语境下，一方面可适当通过立法主体与规则位阶的下移来弥合政府治理与权利保障之间的紧张；另一方面，也是更为重要的一面，就是通过对法律保留事项与方式的选择，以实体上的抽象保留和程序上的具体保留来规范公权力对私权利边界的调整，搭建一个刚性而又不失灵活的法治平台，以便不同的立法（广义）主体和规则发挥各自的优势，最终实现公共利益与公民权利的双赢。     

国家监察体制改革的法学关照:回顾与展望

有关国家监察体制改革和国家监察立法的理论研究,是我国2017年以来持续聚焦的一个学术热点,一系列学术论著相继发表或出版。大批法学研究者围绕监察体制改革的宪法设计,监察权的配置、属性及行使,监察对象的范围界定及权利保障,监察体制改革中的刑事诉讼问题,监察体制改革对司法体制的影响,以及监察制度的比较与借鉴等议题展开探讨,为此项系统工程的有效推进提供了相对全面的理论支撑和知识储备。随着各级监察委员会的运转和《监察法》的施行,监察法学研究仍有较大的提升空间和拓展领域,例如,合署办公与党规国法衔接、《监察法》的配套立法、《监察法》与相关法律的衔接,以及国家监察体制与治理现代化的关系等问题。同时还应注重实现研究方法的多元化,特别是基于《监察法》条款的法教义学分析,及以监察案例和事例为素材的社科法学研究。     

立法与改革:以法律修改为重心的考察

1978年以来,中国逐步从"创法时代"迈向"修法时代"。1978—1993年,是中国改革启动及社会开始转折的艰难阶段,立法工作的重心放在对"政治屋顶"的修缮甚至重构上。1993—1998年,立法理念总体上注重与改革发展的决策相结合,市场经济法治化初现端倪。1998—2008年,法律创制步伐放缓,法律修改力度加大,市场经济法治化全面铺开。2008—2014年,立法进入引领全面深化改革的新阶段。梳理与总结1978—2014年改革进程中法律修改的基本经验,分析立法工作重心逐步向法律修改转移的特点,有助于准确理解全面推进依法治国进程中立法与改革关系的规律,更好地观察和把握中国社会的发展轨迹和未来趋势。
