Law enforcement information sharing: A Florida case study

Many attempts have been made over the last several decades to improve communication among law enforcement agencies. This article is a case study of a “low-level” data sharing project in Florida that could serve as a national model. The Florida Law Enforcement Data Sharing Consortium is a partnership between the University of Central Florida and more than one hundred law enforcement agencies. It offers an inexpensive, yet technically advanced alternative to the proprietary data sharing model. Its distributed architecture was endorsed by the Markle Foundation, the 9/11 Commission, and the 2004 National Security Act. Civil liberties concerns raised by this and other types of data sharing projects are discussed.

Crime Victimization: Assessing Differences Between Violent and Nonviolent Experiences

Experiencing a criminal victimization is among one of the most stressful human experiences. A cross-sectional study of victims of violent crime and victims of nonviolent crime suggests that there are statistically significant differences in experiences in the initial aftermath of the crime event and a few common effects. This article describes the common effects that are associated with criminal victimization in the context of intense distress and discusses the theoretical implications of well-being in the coping process. One hundred seventy-five victims of violent or nonviolent crime were interviewed. Implications for social work practice and theory and future research are delineated.     

试论构建中国式的认罪协商制度

认罪协商制度是在犯罪激增、司法资源紧缺而又要维护司法公正、维护当事人正当权益等各种因素下作用、平衡的产物。为解决积案问题并保障必要的公正,设立认罪协商制度需要完善的程序设计。这包括认罪协商程序的适用范围、起止的期限、提起的主题、协商的具体内容、协商后诉讼权利的丧失、被害人的同意、指定辩护人问题、法官角色、协议的撤销等。     

值得深思的刑法“宽”“严”倒错问题——以常见多发型家庭暴力犯罪为例

在刑罚轻缓化背景下研讨宽严相济政策,不应忽视现行刑法中“宽”“严”倒错现象的存在。就常见多发型家庭暴力犯罪而言,突出地表现在,一方面,是刑法对虐待罪、伤害罪的弱软失度,另一方面,是刑法对“以暴抗暴”型杀人行为的过份苛酷。因此,有必要从相关刑法规定上予以完善。     

中国与印度经济发展模式及其转型之比较

作为世界上最大的两个发展中国家,中国和印度几乎是在同一条起跑线上开始了各自的工业化以及经济社会现代化发展历程。无论从发展经济学还是世界经济学的角度,都可以从这两个典型的大国模型的比较研究中,在发展战略理论和经济政策实践这两方面获得有益的启示。近期以来,国内外学者对印度经济发展能否超过中国有不少讨论,本文根据中、印两国1980—2000年产业结构的演进和制度安排的变化,来比较两国经济发展模式及其转型的异同和得失,从另一个角度思考印度经济发展能否超过中国的问题。     

Long-term success in mediation

This article reports the results of a study of the antecedents of long-term success in community mediation. Seventy-three mediation sessions were recorded and content analyzed. The participants were interviewed at two points: immediately after mediation and 4 to 8 months later. No relationship was found between the quality of the agreements—i.e., the extent to which they solved immediate problems- and long-term success as measured by compliance, improved relations between the parties, and the absence of new problems. On the other hand, joint problem solving by the disputants was related to complainant perceptions of improved relations with the other party. Also respondent perceptions that the mediation had been fair and that all the problems had come out were related to all aspects of long-term success in the eyes of the complainant. The latter results support a procedural justice analysis of mediation and underline the importance of mediator attention to the respondent.
