On the Criminal Protection of the Right to Education of Chinese Citizens——With a Review on Article 32 of the Amendment to the Criminal Law(Ⅺ)

The Amendment(Ⅺ) to the Criminal Law of the People's Republic of China responds to the institutional needs of civic education,and supplements the clause of the Criminal Law on protection of citizens' right to education nuy means of Article 32.Imposing legal responsibility in the form of internal punishments,administrative punishments,and economic compensation have failed to prevent infringements on citizens' right to education.Its role as a "secondary protection law" is the conceptual obstacle that hinders the Criminal Law from effectively intervening in the field of citizens' right to education.The equivalence between the legal interests of people to the right to education and the rights protected by the existing charges in the Criminal Law is the legitimate basis for it to intervene in disputes over the right to education.Based on Article 32 of the Amendment(Ⅺ) to the Criminal Law of the People's Republic of China,it is suggested to further clarify the prepositional law,improve the liability provisions for the right to education,change the modest and restrained view of the Criminal Law regarding protection of the right to education,and expand the behavior types of Article 32 provided in the Amendment(Ⅺ) in due time.

马克思主义中国化历史主体的概念诠释

历史决定论的理解模式、历史主体本身的不成熟以及历史主体与实践主体的混同等是马克思主义中国化历史主体被遮蔽的根本原因:马克思主义中国化历史的主体性和马克思主义主体的历史性之间是一种逻辑互动的关系,前者是实现后者的力量源泉,而后者则是彰显前者的基础和保障;总的来说,马克思主义中国化的历史主体有三种存在样态.即知性存在样态、意义存在样态和实残存在样态.     

浅析共同贪污犯罪数额的计算

贪污犯罪数额的大小,是惩治贪污犯罪的主要依据。在共同犯罪中,犯罪行为人贪污数额的认定相当复杂,既有共同贪污的数额,又有各人分赃所得的数额,还有因贪污的停止形态而未实际获取财产等情形。关于共同贪污犯罪行为人数额的认定,理论界存在着“分赃数额说”、“参与数额说”和“犯罪总额说”等不同的学说。笔者更倾向于“犯罪总额说”。     

论业主委员会的制度建设

业主委员会是城市住房私有化的必然产物,也是城市社区治理的重要制度支撑.由于政府管理部门、居民委员会、开发商、物业管理公司、业主之间利益关系复杂,现行法律法规对有关规定的不完善,政府主管部门的行政行为失当,业主普遍缺乏公民意识和责任意识,业主委员会在筹备设立和实际运行方面都存在诸多的问题.我国应尽快出台<业主委员会法>,明确规定业主委员会的法律地位,规范业主委员会各项基本制度;并且进一步调整完善街道办事处、居民委员会与业主自治的关系,在物权法中明确居民的房屋物权;健全行政程序的有关制度.

我国物权法中所有人抵押制度构建

非法吸收公众存款罪公开性特征的具体认定

非法吸收公众存款罪的公开性是该罪认定上的难点,也是理论研究的薄弱环节,其中的相关问题应得到进一步明确。首先,公开性的本质是宣传对象的不特定性,即针对不特定多数的人进行宣传。其次,公开性与社会性存在交集和重叠,同时也各具独立价值。第三,在口头传播的性质认定上,应区分是否为集资人授意及集资人对集资信息的扩散持何种心态。第四,公开性不以虚假宣传为必要。

谈谈劳动价值概念的再扩展

我国现阶段各种合法职业劳动者的劳动都创造价值。这里的价值是指凝结在社会产品、服务 (包括有形的和无形的 )中的一般人类劳动 ,它体现劳动者对社会财富 (物质的、精神的 )增长乃至社会进步做出的贡献。在新时代 ,对马克思的劳动价值概念作进一步的扩展是必要的。一种劳动只要它是整个社会主义市场经济体系中不可缺少的部分或环节 ,那么 ,无论它的直接成果是否成为商品 ,都是创造价值的。在我国现阶段 ,政府作为国家机器的职能已经有了较大的变化 ,更多地从阶级统治转向发展经济 ,它对宏观经济的管理和调控作用不可或缺且十分巨大 ,因而也是创造价值的。     

监狱罪犯离监探亲问题探析

监狱罪犯离监探亲是法律规定的一项有利于监狱罪犯再社会化的刑事政策,专门系统地探讨这个问题具有重要价值。现行离监狱探亲制度在《监狱法》、司法部规定和监狱实践三个层面均面临诸多问题,因此,在对策方面,基于对监狱离监探亲决定权的行政执法权属性分析,从法律上赋予罪犯法定离监探亲权,要从《监狱法》及司法部的规定上加以完善,还要解决监狱办理上面临的实际困难,以促使这项制度得到常态化落实,促进罪犯改造和再社会化。
