Temperance and the origins of the new penology

This article discusses the nineteenth century origins of indeterminate sentencing and discretionary penology. Was this idea an offshoot of contemporary positivist criminology, emanating from Europe, or was it a separate development in the United States? It is argued that although European influences were felt, the “new penology” was clearly an American product. However, it did not derive either from new insights in social science, or from simple reforming zeal. Rather, the new penology is seen here as an outgrowth of the contemporaneous temperance movement, which in turn resulted from social and ethnic conflict. The article suggests that the temperance movement was central to the evolution of discretionary penology, and crucial in keeping these ideas alive until the new positivism made itself felt. In summary, the temperance movement is seen as a vital, through understudied, force in the evolution of the twentieth century justice system in the United States.     

Representing the healthcare organization in a post-Sarbanes-Oxley world: new rules, new paradigms, new perils

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act (Act) significantly changed the expected corporate behavior of public companies. The Act governs the relationship between corporate organizations and their in-house or outside counsel. Under Section 307 of the Act, the Securities and Exchange Commission initially proposed expansive rules regarding counsel's duties. After comments and criticism from much of the bar, a final, narrower, version of rules under Section 307 (Final Rule) was adopted. The Final Rule contains alternative reporting procedures, attorney responsibilities, and sanctions for violations. In addition to the Act, the American Bar Association's (ABA) Task Force on Corporate Responsibility(Task Force), which was itself a reaction to Enron, reported on the importance of counsel's role in a corporate setting (Cheek Report). The ABA adopted amendments to its Model Rules of Professional Conduct (Model Rules) 1.6 and 1.13 as proposed in the Cheek Report. The Final Rule and amended Model Rules together suggest that attorneys may owe duties beyond those owed to their clients.     

Old dogs can learn new tricks--a new application of the ABFO #2 scale

In 1984 at its first Bitemark Workshop, the American Board of Forensic Odontology (ABFO) developed guidelines for the analysis of bitemark evidence. Prior to this, no standards had been established for the evaluation of bitemarks. The development of the ABFO #2 scale in 1987 gave the forensic odontologist a reproducible way to rectify and measure bitemarks that had been documented photographically. Primarily developed for the analysis of bitemark evidence, its use has expanded to encompass myriad forms of evidence. While the ABFO #2 scale can depict horizontal and vertical measurements, it is unable to depict depth accurately. The purpose of this paper is to show its successful application to three dimensions.     

Doctors and allocation decisions: a new role in the new Medicare

The role of the physician in the allocation of health care resources has come under renewed scrutiny in recent years. Doctors have always had to face the reality of scarce resources and to do their work in the context of social injustices. With the advent of Medicare and Medicaid came the rhetoric of universal access and the "right to health care." At the same time the field of bioethics was emerging and contributing ideas about other kinds of rights, such as the right to die with dignity. Physicians during this time did not see their role as that of gatekeeper, but rather as advocate for the best care for each individual patient. The 1980s has brought a new awareness of limited resources and the necessity for a rationale for allocation of resources. These social and professional shifts have confronted physicians with the need for yet another shift in their ethical stance. If they are to take part in allocation decisions, for the continued well-being of their patients and of the public health, they will need a new perspective on biomedical ethics. This role can be an ethical one for physicians providing certain criteria are met: there must be universal access to a basic minimum level of care, physicians' levels of income must not be directly related to treatment choices, there must be a closed financial system within which meaningful trade-offs can be made, and there must be an ethically acceptable framework for decision-making.     

IP litigation, the new money-spinner

It is a truism that intellectual property litigation costs alot of money. It can be ruinously expensive even for the victor,never mind the beaten, bloodied loser. Much effort has beendirected at reducing the cost of combat in court: streamliningthe trial process, rocket dockets, better case management, toname a few, have produced some relief for costly litigationbut no cure. However, since the reward for the winner is sooften the opportunity of either enforcing a     

新时期对车辆超载治理的理性认识

车辆超载是当前道路运输中的一大顽症,多年来公安交通管理部门投入了大量的人力、物力,运输管理部门也下功夫加以整治,但是收效甚微。超栽整治往往一阵风,整治行动过后严重反弹,并有愈演愈烈之势。新形势下道路交通各主管部门要认真反思以往的措施,理性的认识车辆超载问题并采取相应对策。要统一认识、转变观念,开辟治理超载新途径;要加强立法、明确职责,杜绝乱收费;要加强交通安全宣传教育,向科技要警力,进而从根本上治理车辆超载现象,以确保道路交通安全,为改革开放事业保驾护航。     

论新财产概念

随着社会的发展，不断有新型财产的产生，传统的财产概念把财产看成是物权、债权和知识产权的总括性权利，既没有准确反映财产的内涵，也不能囊括现代社会的新型财产，新型财产权利没有得到应有的保护，有必要树立一个既能反映财产的本质，又能适应新型财产不断出现的新财产概念。本文通过对两大法系的财产概念进行比较，找到财产的本质内涵，提出了新的财产概念。
