文化遗产视野下的民间信仰重建

民间信仰是民众的一种知识形态,它在精英统治下的中国历史社会长期受到抑制,对民间信仰的摧残造成中国社会精神资源的匮乏.在强调非物质文化遗产抢救保护的今天,民间信仰应该纳入非物质文化遗产范围,但根据非物质文化遗产的标准,对纳入非物质文化遗产的民间信仰内容应该有所选择,民间信仰的传统性、伦理性与濒危性是应该考虑的文化标准.对于当代社会民间信仰的重建在总体上要给予积极扶持的态度,以实现建设共有精神家园的和谐社会目标.     

利与弊：评公诉人“一身兼二职”

公诉人在庭审中"一身兼二职"是司法实践的一贯做法,但从立法修改的精神看,公诉人的这种做法不仅没有必要,而且在具体操作中困难重重。因此,为实现司法公正,这种"一身兼二职"的做法亟待改变。     

论财产刑执行的理论基础——基于民法和民事诉讼法的分析

财产刑执行是由人民法院代表国家对被告人责任财产的执行,财产刑执行适用民事执行的原则表明,财产刑执行与民事执行的共性与个性,都必须从民法和民事诉讼法学理论中寻求答案.具体而言,财产刑执行应当遵循公法上的债权理论、被告人的责任财产理论等基础理论.     

Bureaucrats’ corruption and competition in public administration

Competition in public administration is often advocated as a solution to bureaucrats’ corruption. However, there are no well developed analyses of how competition could succeed and the issue of its detailed design has not been carefully addressed so far. In this paper, we put forward a series of models that help understand what competition in public administration can actually accomplish. We distinguish two different shapes that corruption may take: bribery and extortion, and we demonstrate, under the usual assumption of asymmetric information as to the honesty of the bureaucrats, that while competition is effective in fighting extortion it exacerbates bribery. Given that corruption normally manifests itself simultaneously under the two different shapes, an anti-corruption policy based upon competition is bound to face a serious trade-off: trying to curb one of them through competition implies making the other worse. This result holds, with some differences, under exogenous and endogenous bureaucrats’ “honesty”. The dual aspect of corruption is probably one of the most serious—and so far largely neglected—obstacles to any effective anti-corruption policy.     

Clinically Significant Trauma Symptoms and Behavioral Problems in a Community-based Sample of Children Exposed to Domestic Violence

This study assessed the associations of characteristics of domestic violence incidents with clinically significant levels of traumatic symptoms and behavioral problems in a socio-economically and ethnically mixed sample of 687 children participating in a community-service program for children witnessing violence. Study predictors included child/family demographic characteristics, type and chronicity of exposure, and child’s perceptions of control over the event and threat to personal safety. Outcomes consisted of traumatic symptoms and behavior problems. Results showed that perceived threat and control were associated with greater odds of clinically significant levels of several trauma symptoms (and behavior problems in the case of perceived threat) after adjusting for effects of demographic factors and violence characteristics. Child co-victimization increased odds of reaching clinically significant levels of traumatic symptoms compared to children who witnessed the event but were not victimized. Female sex and White ethnicity increased odds of specific trauma symptoms and behavior problems. Increasing age reduced odds of some trauma symptoms. Associations between predictors and one outcome measure did not generalize across the other outcome measure. Implications of study findings, and directions for future research are discussed.
