中国刑事证据立法的基本理念

证据制度是一国诉讼制度中重要的组成部分。我国目前证据立法过于粗疏 ,可操作性不强 ,远远不能满足司法实践的需要。合理地重构证据制度 ,应当对传统证据理论进行全面检视 ,在此基础上准确把握现代刑事证据制度藉以立足的基本理念 ,惟此方能实现理性立法。     

AGE,DIFFERENTIAL EXPECTATIONS,AND CRIME DESISTANCE*

We specify an individual-level model linking crime desistance to estimates of legal risk, differential expectations, degree of past success at legitimate and criminal pursuits, and age. OLS and logistic regression procedures are used to estimate the model using longitudinal data on serious, previously imprisoned offenders. As predicted, age decreases estimates of the likely payoffs from crime and legitimate employment. Contrary to predictions, age is unrelated to the perceived legal risk of renewed criminal participation. Age, past success at avoiding confinement, expectations of success from crime, and level of education are significant predictors of crime desistance. Neither the perceived legal risk of crime nor expectations of success through straight pursuits significantly predict desistance. We suggest an interpretation for these anomalous findings.

创设利益制度是社会和谐的法治基础——和谐社会利益关系问题的法学思考

利益矛盾和冲突不仅是社会转型期国家的显著特征,同时,也是形成不受以往制度约束的和谐环境的重要前提。本文以分析和谐社会利益制度的法律根源作为出发点,在此基础上从利益博弈的机理层面上探寻利益制度形成的逻辑起点和实体条件,以及政府如何在利益群体博弈过程中作出创新性的实验安排,进而为在我国社会转型过程中,形成社会和谐与经济发展的基础性力量,以及进一步提高政府执政合法性的问题提供必要的实践依据和理论支持。     

论刑事案件的新闻报道原则

刑事工作和对刑事案件开展的新闻报道构成对立统一的辩证关系,为了建立两者的和谐良性互动,应从价值、真实标准、控制力量、信息、程序等方面对两者进行比较分析。在以马列主义等科学哲理和依法治国目标等为主要内容的指导思想指引下,新闻工作应避免与前者消极的冲突,寻找共赢的互补,坚持"三个有利于"的标准选择案件进行报道,遵守合法、平衡和全程、无罪推定、追求客观真实,尊重法律真实等原则。     

试析国际体系结构转型:范式界定、特点与趋势

当前,构成现行国际体系的许多要素或已消失,或正处于消失、转变的过程中。国际体系各个层面、领域呈现明显的动荡不定状态。国际体系结构处于一种"复合状态"之中,多种国际政治文化、国家关系互动模式、国际行为逻辑和发展趋势在不同地区、不同经济和社会发展水平国家间同时存在与发展。国际体系结构转型最重要特征就在于这种"复合状态"的普遍存在。国际体系结构日益复杂化有利于体系宏观结构朝进步的方向发生变化,并对微观权力转移产生越来越大的和平压力。二战后国际体系微观权力结构出现重要的和平转变表明,传统现实主义战略思维及其遵循的行为逻辑,已不足以充分解释和应对越来越复杂的国际环境。     

我国封建社会的理冤制度及其借鉴

<正> 任何类型的诉论中,统治者出于维护本阶级统治的需要,都在法律中规定了相应的理冤措施,以弥补审判机关裁决中出现的错误。本文试就我国封建社会的理冤制度及其借鉴作如下探讨。一、我国封建社会的理冤制度我国封建社会的立法中,虽没有明确的再审制度之名,但对确有错误的生效判决却有重新审理之实。从当事人或他人申诉的角度来说,有复审制度和直诉制度,从皇帝或司法机关主动发现和纠正冤错案件的角度来说,有录囚制度和监察制度。     

"Int''l Balance of Financial Terror" and U.S. Trap

The curtain has long risen on a financial war --a harsher war with no smoke while people are hailing the end of the Cold War and the prospect of world lasting peace and common prosperity. In his The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order, Samuel Huntington, the Eaton Professor of the Science of Government and Director of the Center for International Affairs of Harvard University listed fourteen strategic points of Western civilizations in dominating the world.     

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.
