Responding to violence against women: social science contributions to legal solutions

Violence against women represents a serious problem in America. Not only does intimate partner violence represent a significant threat to women, but it also counts among its victims, children living in the violent household. By its very nature, intimate partner or domestic violence may be approached as either a legal or a social problem. However, there is a shortage of legal approaches that have been informed by sound social science research. One promising framework for developing such integrated responses to intimate partner violence is therapeutic jurisprudence, which encourages legal professionals to work closely with social scientists to develop system responses based on empirical data. Such an approach contrasts sharply with the current practice of developing law based on assumptions, which frequently reflect traditional paternalistic and sexist attitudes toward women. This paper begins by examining the current theories and scientific knowledge on domestic violence with particular emphasis on the supporting data. A theoretical framework for conceptualizing domestic violence characterized as patriarchal terrorism as distinct from common couple violence is examined and offered as a means of explaining inconsistencies in research findings. Following a review of current legal responses to domestic violence, the paper concludes by outlining alternative strategies and recommendations for future efforts that are supported by current theory and research.     

Identify the injury implements by SEM/EDX and ICP-AES

The forensic investigator is frequently confronted with the discrimination and deduction of injury implements, which is one of the most important physical testimonies in courts. The usual method used in actual cases is from points of morphology. In the forensic discrimination of injury implements, such as metal implements, the analysis and comparison of elements are expected to provide excellent results, and simultaneous multi-elemental analysis is required to analyze various kinds of elements. This study was designed to establish discrimination and deduction of metal injury implements by scanning electron microscope/energy disperse X-ray microanalyzer (SEM/EDX) and inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES). Examined metal particles in five wounds made on the skin of domestic pigs, respectively, using Cu-Zn or Cr-Ni coated and carbon steel kitchen implements by EDX. For carbon steel kitchen implements, analyzed five samples from the back and blade separately in the contents and varieties of elements by ICP-AES. In the wounds by the coated implements, the special particles only containing Cu, Zn or Cr, Ni were found. In the wounds by carbon steel kitchen implements, the particles containing Fe, Cr, Si or Fe, Mn, Si were found. The differences of contents of elements between the back and blade was no significant except No. 5 for carbon steel kitchen implements, and the significant differences of elements exited in Cr, Mn, Si, Cu, Mo among the stainless kitchen knives, Mn, Si among the other kitchen implements and for the blade of No. 5 knife, relative standard deviations (R.S.D.s) were significantly different in Mn, Si, Mo, Ti, S, P, Ni. Using EDX to examine the particles in wounds can deduce the categories of metal injury implements, and we can still deduce the different implements in the same category by ICP-AES.     

销售假冒注册商标的商品罪疑难问题研究

理论界对销售假冒注册商标的商品罪研究较多,但仍有许多新问题,例如对本罪"明知"和"既未遂"的认定尚无定论,大有讨论的必要。销售假冒注册商标的商品罪以明知是假冒注册商标的商品为前提,而对于明知的要求是知道或者应当知道;对于"应当知道"的理解,应坚持主客观相一致的原则,综合案件的各种证据进行推定;对于销售假冒注册商标的商品罪的未遂形态认定,应充分利用相关刑法理论和实践经验;在既未遂形态竞合的情况下,应采用既遂吸收未遂的方法进行定罪处罚,但在量刑上应进行适当的修改、改善,以期对司法实践有所助益。     

合同诈骗罪“非法占有目的”产生时间的司法认定

合同诈骗罪非法占有目的的产生时间,对于案件的定性具有重大影响,理论界及实务界对此也有多种观点,莫衷一是.合同诈骗罪的非法占有目的只能产生于签订合同前(包括合同签订时),行为人签订合同前(包括合同签订时)具有非法占有目的,则应认定为合同诈骗罪;行为人签订合同后、财物交付前产生非法占有目的,应认定为诈骗罪;行为人签订合同及财物交付后产生非法占有目的,应认定为侵占罪.     

AutoMate Express™ forensic DNA extraction system for the extraction of genomic DNA from biological samples

Abstract: The AutoMate Express? Forensic DNA Extraction System was developed for automatic isolation of DNA from a variety of forensic biological samples. The performance of the system was investigated using a wide range of biological samples. Depending on the sample type, either PrepFiler? lysis buffer or PrepFiler BTA? lysis buffer was used to lyse the samples. After lysis and removal of the substrate using LySep? column, the lysate in the sample tubes were loaded onto AutoMate Express? instrument and DNA was extracted using one of the two instrument extraction protocols. Our study showed that DNA was recovered from as little as 0.025 μL of blood. DNA extracted from casework‐type samples was free of detectable PCR inhibitors and the short tandem repeat profiles were complete, conclusive, and devoid of any PCR artifacts. The system also showed consistent performance from day‐to‐day operation.     

The effectiveness of Kyoto Protocol and the legal institution for international technology transfer

Kyoto Protocol has certain provisions concerning environmentally sound technologies (ESTs) transfer, primarily including the direct provisions, the clean development mechanism and the fund mechanism, which are supposed to favor technology transfer for reducing the emission of greenhouse gases (GHG) in the world. However, mainly due to the flaws of these provisions, ESTs have not been transferred as smoothly as possible to realize the Kyoto Protocol’s objectives. Therefore, the international community shall take the effectiveness of Kyoto Protocol as a fresh impetus to consummate the legal system of international technology transfer, that is, to develop a uniform technology transfer agreement under the WTO with a focus on promoting ESTs transfer, which may make the developing countries to acquire the technologies they need under the fair terms and help them build their capacities for sustainable development. China does not need to perform the obligation of reducing GHG emissions until 2013 according to Kyoto Protocol, but precautions shall be taken to improve its legal systems on technology transfer to make preparations for implementing the policy of scientific development and playing significant roles in related international legislation.     

城市规划编制过程中的听证会设计

听证会是正式的公众参与城市规划编制方式。政府规划部门应作为听证会的一般发起主体和组织者,控制性详细规划地段内的利害关系人应作为特殊提起主体。听证事项应限于对社会公共利益有重大影响的事项,并适当将某些事项排除。对于不同的听证事项可采取不同的听证模式。听证参加人应分为居民代表和专家代表,合理设置人数比例。听证主持人可由同级人民代表大会中具有规划知识背景的工作人员担任,以确保其公正性;听证参加人享有陈述和质询的权利;听证会记录应作为城市规划编制和审批的必备参考。违反听证规则时应追究相关工作人员的责任,但一般不影响城市规划的整体效力,可以补听证和申请国家赔偿方式救济。     

Global social media vs local values: Private international law should protect local consumer rights by using the public policy exception?

This article focuses on the relationship between forum selection clauses, choice of law clauses and data protection and privacy protection. In particular, it discusses the question whether and why jurisdiction and choice of law clauses used in the terms of social media providers should not be enforced against social media users located in a different jurisdiction. The article distinguishes between the contractual, private law analysis and the application of public policy as part of the private international law analysis. The contract law analysis is centred on doctrines such as unconscionability, which in turn examines issue such as fairness and overwhelming bargaining power of one party. By contrast, the public policy analysis in private international law focuses on fundamental rights, legality of contractual clauses according to the local law of the forum and the interests of justice. It is argued here that both aspects (contractual and public policy doctrines) are paramount for achieving not only justice between the parties of a dispute but also ensuring good administration of justice in the public interest.
