财产刑执行情况的调查报告

各地法院财产刑的执行中存在财产刑判处和执行的随意性较大,财产刑执结率低、执行手段单一且缺乏规范性和统一性等问题,而导致这些问题的原因主要在于财产刑执行缺乏明确的法律规定,判罚标准不尽合理以及公安司法机关配合不力。对此,调查报告有针对性地提出设置财产刑诉辩程序以及完善财产刑执行的立法机制等对策,并提出了财产刑执行在现有体制下的工作思路。调查报告还对未成年被告人适用财产刑的问题给予了关注,考虑到未成年被告人作为犯罪主体的特殊性,建议对其有限制地适用财产刑。     

离婚父母抚养监护未成年子女问题研究及实践对策

在未成年人民事司法领域，离婚父母因抚养、监护未成年子女问题引发的纠纷占到一半以上。此类纠纷因特殊身份关系而引发，与普通经济生活中的财产类民事纠纷相比，有着伦理性鲜明、权利主体特殊、涉及利益复杂等特性，致使司法实践面临法律空白多、矛盾易激化、取证难度大等困境。故以更好地适用法律、预防纠纷为出发点。通过对苏州法院近三年的抚养类纠纷进行专项调研，针对当前司法实践中普遍存在的问题，努力寻求一些更为妥善处理此类纠纷的方法和对策，希望对此类纠纷的预防、对规范今后离婚父母抚养监护未成年子女的行为均具有积极意义。     

我国证券侵权民事责任归责分析——原则:立法与司法的冲突与协调

归责原则是各类证券民事责任主体承担民事责任的主要标准之一,不仅关系当事人的民事实体责任,还与诉讼程序中举证责任的分配等有着密切的关联性,因此,研究证券民事责任的归责原则具有重要的审判实践意义。最高人民法院对证券侵权民事责任主体的归责原则之规定,忽略了与现行立法之间的协调与衔接,有的与法理相悖,两者之间的冲突导致审判实践的困惑。实际上,我国证券侵权民事责任主体不同,且各自的法律义务和社会责任的差异,故其归责原则呈多元化的特点。     

Segregation,regulation, and the gendering of space at the University of Wales,Bangor, 1884–1907

ABSTRACT

In 1892, the Senate of the University College of North Wales in Bangor conducted an enquiry into the behaviour of Frances Hughes, Lady Principal of the women’s hall of residence, for defamatory remarks she had made about one of her students. Her accusations instigated a scandal that rocked the provincial college to its core, led to two separate libel lawsuits, and was even mentioned in the House of Lords. Using the ‘Bangor College Scandal’ as a case study, this article explores how student life in the new civic universities of the late-nineteenth century was shaped by regulation and supervision, as university authorities sought to avoid controversy through limiting mixed-gender interaction. It will argue that this control was often manifested in spatial terms, enabled by the deliberate design and arrangement of university spaces.     

What is grievance thinking and how can we measure this in sexual offenders?

Purpose. This study proposes and examines a three‐stage model of the grievance process, one of the dynamic risk factors related to risk of sexual recidivism, and aims to evaluate some of the existing measures of this construct. Methods. The research used a sample of 322 male sexual offenders who had completed a cognitive–behavioural programme that aims to reduce recidivism in higher‐risk sexual offenders (as measured using a static actuarial tool). Participants completed two questionnaires measuring aspects of grievance thinking pre‐ and post‐treatment. Results. The results indicated some support for stages 1 and 2 of the proposed model. Contrary to the study hypotheses, results indicated that both measures used have similar psychometric properties. Pre‐ to post‐change analyses suggest that the custodial treatment programme may be having some effect on grievance thinking. However, generally offenders' scores on both measures were low pre‐ and post‐treatment and as a result, according to individual change analyses, the majority did not demonstrate reliable or clinically significant change. Those who were classed as high scorers on either measure did, however, demonstrate such change. Conclusions. Further exploration of a three‐stage model of grievance is warranted. It appears that current measures of grievance in sexual offenders are not adequate to capture this concept fully.     

政府信息公开行政诉讼案件疑难问题研究——以浙江法院审理的行政案件为实证样本

《政府信息公开条例》实施以来,由于《条例》本身需要明确的问题很多,相关规定的可操作性不强,导致其实施效果不佳。当大量的信息公开行政诉讼案件涌入法院后,法院对受案范围、原告资格、裁判方式等问题的把握缺乏相关的界定标准,导致对裁判标准的尺度掌握不一,影响了法院裁判的公信力和信息公开工作的有序推进。以具体案件审理中出现的疑难问题为实证样本探求立法本意,明确审理此类行政诉讼案件的思路与裁判标准意义重大。
