Where and When to Spank: A Comparison Between U.S. and Japanese College Students

Although physical punishment has been studied for decades, there are gaps in the literature regarding frequently used form, context, and cross cultural differences. A comparison was made using 227 college students in the United States and Japan, who were presented with four scenarios and surveyed regarding attitudes toward physical punishment, perceptions of appropriate discipline methods, and past experience with physical punishment. Japanese and U.S. respondents reported similar personal experience with physical punishment (Japanese 86%, U.S. 91%). However, U.S. respondents reported a higher likelihood of being hit with an object than did Japanese respondents. For U.S. respondents, the bottom and the hand were the top two sites on the body used for physical punishment, whereas the head and the face were the top two places for the Japanese sample. Unlike U.S. respondents, type of child misbehavior was found to have an impact on Japanese respondents’ views on the appropriate discipline method.

Senator Opposition to Supreme Court Nominations: Reference Dependence on the Departing Justice

Research indicates that senators evaluate U.S. Supreme Court nominations on two ideological dimensions: the distance between themselves and the nominee, and the potential effect confirmation would have on the Court median. My analysis of nominations from 1968 to 2006 provides evidence that senators are also influenced by the ideological contrast between the nominee and the departing justice.

在预防跨国腐败犯罪的具体制度建设层面各国有所不同。结合本国国情进行预防跨国腐败犯罪制度研究,必须重视两方面的制度建设:一是完善本国立法,二是借鉴别国经验。     

期待可能性理论之反思

本文首先对期待可能性理论的发展作了简单的概述。对于期待可能性的判断标准,笔者主张行为人标准说,并阐述分析认为行为人标准囊括了行为人、平均人和国家三方的判断。通过对期待可能性理论在犯罪论体系中地位的分析,笔者认为,我国应批判的借鉴期待可能性理论并在责任论中加以论述,并提出期待可能性是与故意、过失以及责任能力并列的第三责任要素。此外,笔者认为,从期待可能性的实质出发,在适用期待可能性理论时应一分为二具体分析,使该理论得到合理的应用。     

农村道路交通管理向派出所延伸的思考——以浙江省湖州市为例

近年来,农村地区人、车、路矛盾日益突出,农村道路交通事故高发.要扭转日趋严峻的农村道路交通安全形势,交通管理要向农村延伸.在交警警力严重不足的情况下,由派出所协管农村道路交通.同时要重点做好六个方面的工作:一、在政府主导与公安主管上抓合力;二、在协管工作与派出所工作上抓结合;三、在静态管理与动态管理上抓平衡;四、在管理与服务、执法与服务上抓实效;五、在协作、指导、配合上抓效应.六、在突击治理与长效管理机制上抓督导.     

Differentiating among racial/ethnic groups and its implications for understanding juvenile justice decision making

Both theory and research have been refined to gain a better understanding of when race and ethnicity matter in justice proceedings. In the present research, this line of inquiry was continued by differentiating among minority youth to assess the extent being African American, Native American, and Asian American influenced juvenile justice decision making and how these effects compared to one another and Whites. Utilizing an interpretation of the symbolic threat thesis that emphasizes stereotyping, the authors anticipated Native Americans to be responded to more severely than African Americans, followed by Asian Americans who were anticipated to be responded to more like Whites. The results indicated partial support for these expectations.     

Reassessing the family-delinquency association: Do family type, family processes, and economic factors make a difference?

The present study drew on four competing theoretical perspectives to examine the relationship between family structure and juvenile delinquency. Using data from the Add Health Study, the authors examined nonserious and serious delinquent behavior across youth from different types of households and also considered how the association between family structure and delinquency might be conditioned by family processes and economic factors. Results from negative binomial regression analyses indicated that, in general, type of household was not a significant predictor of nonserious or serious delinquency. Rather, maternal attachment emerged as the most important determinant of delinquent behavior among youth from all family types. The results are discussed within the context of Hirschi's original interpretation of social control theory and future directions for research are suggested.
