Treating offenders with mental illness: a research synthesis

The purpose of this research synthesis was to examine treatment effects across studies of the service providers to offenders with mental illness. Meta-analytic techniques were applied to 26 empirical studies obtained from a review of 12,154 research documents. Outcomes of interest in this review included measures of both psychiatric and criminal functioning. Although meta-analytic results are based on a small sample of available studies, results suggest interventions with offenders with mental illness effectively reduced symptoms of distress, improving offender's ability to cope with their problems, and resulted in improved behavioral markers including institutional adjustment and behavioral functioning. Furthermore, interventions specifically designed to meet the psychiatric and criminal justice needs of offenders with mental illness have shown to produce significant reductions in psychiatric and criminal recidivism. Finally, this review highlighted admission policies and treatment strategies (e.g., use of homework), which produced the most positive benefits. Results of this research synthesis are directly relevant for service providers in both criminal justice and mental health systems (e.g., psychiatric hospitals) as well as community settings by informing treatment strategies for the first time, which are based on empirical evidence. In addition, the implications of these results to policy makers tasked with the responsibility of designating services for this special needs population are highlighted.     

If the State Decertified Gender,What Might Happen to its Meaning and Value?

As jurisdictions reform gender identity laws to accommodate transgender and intersex people, this article speculatively explores a more fundamental shift: eliminating state law's role in determining and assigning gender status altogether. Adopting a feminist perspective, we explore what the meaning and effects of comprehensively reforming legal gender might be upon gender's constitution as a socio‐legal property, differentially recognized and protected by diverse but unequal bodies. Our discussion proceeds along two intersecting paths. The first concerns the different classificatory methods which could enable state law, without assigning gender, to continue to regulate gender identity decisions, thereby allowing state law to remain involved in tackling gender discrimination. The second concerns the changing form gender might take in conditions where state law withdraws its allocative function. These paths converge in a final discussion which considers what legal and political effects might follow from gender becoming a property that is individually and collectively cultivated.

Risk and Protective Predictors of Trajectories of Depressive Symptoms Among Adolescents from Immigrant Backgrounds

Although there has been an increasing number of studies that has examined depression among adolescents from immigrant backgrounds, findings have been mixed, with some studies reporting that immigrant status is associated with risk, while others report that immigration status is linked to adequate or positive outcomes. Thus, it is important to explore how underlying predictors contribute to trajectories of depressive symptoms among adolescents from immigrant backgrounds. Using data from a nationally representative Canadian sample (N = 1,060; aged 12 to 23; 48.9% female), this longitudinal study examined the effects of risk and protective factors on trajectories of depressive symptoms using multilevel modeling. Predictors of depressive symptoms tended to be protective and suggest a universal positive influence of self-esteem, positive peer relationships, and parent–child cohesion. Host language proficiency was predictive of greater increases in depressive symptoms over time. Findings highlight the value of promoting protective factors and aspects of one’s heritage among immigrant adolescents.

我国创新药物专利司法保护的量化分析——基于药品专利案件裁判文书的实证研究

专利司法保护的范围和强度对制药企业自主创新具有关键的作用,人民法院审理药品专利案件的司法实践正是发挥这一作用的具体体现。细化该类案件中各种审判因素,从微观角度逐一进行深入剖析,对具体条款的调整、具体措施的推行以及审判实务中裁判尺度的把握将发挥积极效果。本文将以“中国知识产权裁判文书网”登载的所有药品专利案件为样本,通过建立指标体系进行量化统计,对近年来我国药品专利民事诉讼的主体、客体、适用法律、审理裁判等方面进行具体分析,探究此类案件在审理实践中所存在的问题及其成因,以期为完善药品专利司法保护制度提供可行的政策建议。     

刑事附带民事诉讼精神损害赔偿制度之思考

为了切实保障被害人的合法权益,以刑代赔,仅仅给予公法的保护是远远不够的,精神损害赔偿制度已纳入了我国民事法律的调整范围。为了协调法律体系内部的矛盾,也使被害人的利益得到最好的保护,应尽快建立起刑事附带民事诉讼精神损害赔偿制度。     

超药品说明书用药的相关法律责任问题研究

目的：为规范药品生产企业的药品说明书,促进医务人员安全合理用药提供有益借鉴。方法：从法学角度剖析医务人员和药品生产企业是否应该承担超药品说明书用药导致纠纷的民事责任,并引用法条加以阐释。结论：在医务人员正确履行规定义务的情况下,医务人员不需要承担超药品说明书用药引发纠纷的责任,药品生产企业则应当为此而承担相应的民事责任。
