社会主义法治理念导言

"理念",是包括理论、理想、信念等在内的一个概念.法治理念是指人们关于法治的理论、理想和信念.社会主义法治理念是人们对什么是法治、什么是社会主义法治、为什么实行社会主义法治、怎样实行和实现社会主义法治的认识结晶,是依法治国、建设社会主义法治国家的美好理想,是尊重法治、崇尚法治、积极参与法治活动的坚定信念.由此可见,社会主义法治理念是社会主义法治的内在精神和灵魂,有什么样的法治理念,就会表现出什么样的立法、执法、司法、守法行为.先进的法治理念引领、指导国家机关、社会组织和人民群众的法律活动,是国家机关依法行使国家权力、服务人民、管理社会的行动指南,是社会组织和人民群众依法行使权利、履行义务、承担责任的思想基础和价值标准.所以,在全社会普及社会主义法治理念,让社会主义法治理念转化为执政党、国家机关、社会组织和全体公民的自觉行动,是十分必要的.本文拟就社会主义法治理念的若干理论问题作一阐述,以期与法学界、法律界交流.

Combating child homicide: preventive policing for the new millennium

High-profile media coverage of crimes against children has heightened public awareness of critical child safety needs and issues. However, numerous research studies in the area of child homicide have illustrated the importance of the power of science to correct false perceptions and misinformation, improving how to best serve and protect our children. Age-based analyses of childhood crime patterns have vastly improved how law enforcement and social service practitioners identify, investigate, and resolve child victimization cases. Future protective efforts must involve multiagency and multidisciplinary collaboration. Law enforcement, social service clinicians, educators, and academicians should jointly develop and implement pragmatic and effective prevention, detection, and resolution programs and policies.
