试论遏制腐败现象的法制对策

法制建设在反腐败斗争中具有重要地位和作用。我国现行法律制度对一些腐败现象或边缘性腐败问题不能给予有效制裁,与有关反腐败立法深度不够、某些罪名的可操作性不强等弊端有关。为此,要进一步加强廉政立法,加大依法惩治腐败的力度,从根本上遏制腐败现象的滋生和蔓延。     

税收刑法的司法适用及立法评析

偷税罪成立条件的数额加比例规定方式,根据举轻以明重原则,不会导致处罚上的空隙。除偷税罪明文规定的数额应累计计算外。其他税收犯罪的数额通常不应累计计算,尤其应严禁通过累计计算数额对行为人适用死刑。对虚开增值税专用发票、用于骗取出口退税、抵扣税款发票罪适用死刑的条件中给国家造成的税收损失,不是指所虚开的发票票面上直接反映的税额,而是他人用之抵扣税款后给国家造成的实实在在的税收损失。盗窃、骗取增值税发票的行为本身,不能构成盗窃罪、诈骗罪。

Gender differences in self-consistency: Evidence from an investigation of self-concept structure

This study investigates the relationship between two primary motivational components of the self-concept: self-esteem and self-consistency. Past research has shown that high self-esteem is associated with greater consistency. Developed from theories of the self-concept, a structural model relating these two constructs was posited such that (1) self-esteem is causally prior to self-consistency, and (2) the effect of self-esteem is (at least partially) mediated by other components of the self-concept (self-consciousness, the tendency to fantasize, and the tendency to present a false front by hiding one's feelings). Utilizing a structural equation model with unobserved variables, an analysis of covariance structures was applied simultaneously but separately to data from a sample of boys and girls (ages 8–19). Results showed that the direct effect of self-esteem on self-consistency was stronger for boys than for girls. Further, the mediational properties of the other self-concept components also varied across gender. These differences are interpreted in light of theories of gender socialization.The research reported in this article was funded by a grant from the National Institute of Mental Health (MH 27747) to Morris Rosenberg. A version of this paper was presented at the annual meeting of the American Sociological Association, Chicago, Illinois, August 17–21, 1987. Analysis was facilitated by the Computer Center, Brown University, and the Computer Science Center, University of Maryland.Received Ph.D. in Sociology from the University of Wisconsin, Madison.

Internet信息安全问题

Internet的普及提高了社会的信息化水平,但是随之所暴露出来的信息安全问题也越来越多.这是因为Internet的出现主要是为了解决不同结构、不同操作系统、不同网络协议的各种网络互连问题,所以在Internet出现的初期,不可能对开放、共享有限制的安全机制设计得很完善.同样,TCP/IP协议主要的意义在于实现网络的互连,而在安全方面存在许多漏洞.本文就Internet安全问题的具体表现及关键的技术性防范措施进行了论述.     

Predicting Consistency Between Officially Recorded and Self-Reported Records of Arrest

National Youth Survey Family Study (NYSFS) respondents were examined to identify the characteristics of individuals and their sociological environments, that would make them more likely to have consistency between self reported and officially recorded records of arrest. Somewhat surprisingly, it was found that those most likely to be at risk of arrest (males, high exposure to delinquent friends, higher level of substance use) are more likely to have consistency between officially recorded and self-reported arrests. Findings will be helpful in both producing more accurate information on arrests and in increasing sensitivity to the possibility of bias in arrest records that may be based on sociodemographic or behavioral characteristics of the individual.
