How Large Should the Strike Zone Be in “Three Strikes and You're Out” Sentencing Laws?

So-called three strikes and you're out sentencing laws for criminal offenders have proliferated in the United States. The laws vary considerably in their definitions of what constitutes a strike. This paper adapts the classic Poisson process model of criminal offending to investigate how varying sentence lengths and definitions of what constitutes a strike affect the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of these sentencing laws. In particular, it asks whether, by using different definitions for the first, second, and third strikes or different sentence lengths, one can make the resulting incarceration more efficient in the sense of incapacitating more crimes per cell-year served.     

论民事推定证据制度的完善

民事推定是“谁主张谁举证”这一基本证据制度的补充,其实质是法官自由裁量权的重要内容,它免除了原告对推定事实的举证责任。国外法学对推定的研究比较成熟,而我国虽然有些立法推定,但是法学理论界未能深入探讨,导致司法审判实践的混乱。本文审视了当今民事推定的发展趋势,揭示了我国民事推定证据制度存在的问题后,对民事推定的基本概念、法律意义、法哲学基础、构成要件及其适用作全面的分析、归纳,并提出自己尝试性的观点,以期进一步完善我国的证据制度,推动民事经济审判中证据制度的改革走向深入。     

Holding Back the Tide— a Review of Recent Developments in Copyright Law in the United Kingdom

This article surveys recent developments in UK copyright law. It sets these developments in the context of broader trends in copyright law and policy. Significant decisions concerning subsistence of copyright, authorship, infringement, defences, remedies and collective licensing are analysed. The author notes that copyright, and other intellectual property rights, have been given extra force as a result of recent legislative developments. He argues that, against this background, it is possible to discern increasing judicial concern to ensure that such an expansion in monopoly power does not operate against the public interest.     

壮族人群3个STR基因座基因频率分布及其法医学应用

研究3个STR基因座（D21S11、HumFGA、D19S253）在广西壮族人群中的基因频率分布及其在实际检案中的应用价值。以自制等位基因Ladder样品作为标准对照,用PCR结合PAGE技术对3个STR基因座的扩增产物进行分型。结果显示：D21S11基因座有14个等位基因,有44个基因型;HumFGA基因座有15个等位基因,40个基因型;D195253基因座有9个等位基因,23个基因型。经检验,3个STR基因座基因型分布均符合Hardy－Weinberg平衡,累计个体识别力（DP）为0．9995。3个STR基因座在壮族人群属高识别力遗传标记系统,在法医学个体识别及亲权鉴定方面有重要价值。     

四川省农村留守妇女基本医疗保障享有状况及影响因素研究

本研究以川东、川西、川南三个地区为调查地点,采用随机抽样的方法,主要对农村留守妇女的医疗保障现状与影响因素进行研究。Logistic回归分析结果显示家庭收入、文化水平、思想观念以及法律法规制度不完善是影响她们参加医疗保障的主要因素,而个人身体素质对留守妇女是否参与医疗保障没有显著性影响。必须采取积极举措,以提高四川农村留守妇女基本医疗保障参与率。
