Forensic Mental Health Clinical Evaluation: An Analysis of Interstate and Intersystemic Differences

Forensic mental health evaluation systems have undergone major changes during the past two decades, and the variability of service delivery systems across states is significant. We compared assessments of competence to stand trial and criminal responsibility in three states with different systems for forensic mental health evaluations: Michigan, Ohio, and Virginia. Although all three states use comparable legal criteria to judge competence and criminal responsibility, we found large, statistically significant differences among the states in the proportion of defendants referred for evaluation who were assessed as incompetent or not criminally responsible. In addition, significant differences were found in the diagnostic and offense categories of defendants referred for evaluation. Our findings suggest that the structure of a system for providing forensic evaluation services may significantly affect both the group of individuals referred for evaluation as well as evaluation outcome.

法律继受的窘境:继受方的论辩与抗争——为《民法的伦理分析》所作的序言

<正>一、罗马法殖民化中的民德国法学家耶林曾言:罗马帝国曾三次征服世界,第一次通过武力,第二次通过宗教(基督教),第三次通过法律。尽管耶林所言并非完全属实,但从法律文化脉络的角度看,无论是本书作者赵万一先生居住的中国,还是执笔这篇小文的本人居住的日本,在历史法律文化上都程度不同地受     

经济法法律责任:语义、规范及其整体谱系——基于法律文本的实证分析

经济法法律责任是经济法主体违反经济法法律所应承担的不利后果,是经济法违法行为的代价与成本,是实施经济法的关键。对60部经济法法律进行考察,可以发现法律责任条款在其中的分布呈总体集中、少量分散状态,对其进行文本梳理与实证分析,可以基本洞明违法行为与法律责任形式这两大经济法法律责任的规范要件。经济法违法行为有列举式与集束式两种表述方式,总体上以集束式为主、列举式为补充。经济法违法行为可区分为作为式违法行为与不作为式违法行为。经济法法律责任形式可以从具体与抽象两个角度进行划分,经济法法律中的具体法律责任形式有28种,其中7种为新类型法律责任形式。经济法法律责任总体上呈现综合性及以财产责任为主导、与行为责任相结合的基本特征。就经济法法律责任的配置而言,需要根据经济法违法行为的社会危害程度,通过二次分配的方式实现经济法法律责任的有序组合,具体表现为以违法行为是否构成犯罪为界限,以行为主体的身份性质为补充,辅以时间、情节与行为人态度等因素,梯次配置相应的法律责任。

Women,Work, and Crime: An International Test of the Emancipation Hypothesis

This study analyzes Interpol statistics on female crime for the 1963–1970 period for a sample of Western nations with the purpose of testing two popular explanations of female criminality. Six measures of female economic participation in society were correlated with female proportional involvement in overall crime rates, theft, fraud, murder, and robbery/burglary.

It was found that women's contribution to the overall arrest rate is neither directly proportional to their employment in the commercial work force, nor to the degree in which their jobs are comparable to those of males. The analysis of the crimes of theft and fraud provided support for the “opportunity” version of emancipation theory. Adler's “aggressive” variant of the emancipation hypothesis was only partly borne out by the data for murder and not supported for robbery and burglary.     

面向未来的学理革新:行政法律关系理论之省视与展望

行政法律关系理论在20世纪逐渐兴起,全面的分析框架和开阔的理论视野使其在行政法学中占据提纲挈领的关键地位,相关的法理探索如公民和国家的主观公权利也促进了行政法学的深层理论思考。随着社会生活和行政过程不断发展,行政法律关系理论也面临变革的需要,行政法律关系的多元化、算法化和体系化是行政法学需要面对的理论挑战。对此,行政法学应当形成开放的、可论辩的认知结构,应对行政法律关系变化发展的时代需求。

Police Misconduct,Media Coverage,and Public Perceptions of Racial Profiling: An Experiment

The purpose of this study was: (1) to assess the impact of an incident of racial profiling on residents’ attitudes about profiling; and (2) to examine the effects of exposure to a video clip of deliberation about the incident on residents’ beliefs about the causes of profiling. All residents, White and minority, were less likely to believe that Chicago police officers engaged in profiling after the incident. These findings suggest that attitudes about the prevalence of racial profiling are susceptible to the manner in which the media construct incidents of police misconduct. Exposure to the video clip was not related to differences in residents’ beliefs about the causes of profiling, but was related to differences in perceptions of the dangerousness of traffic stops. The findings highlight the need for more research on how media constructions of police misconduct influence attitudes about profiling and impact community–police relations.
