村规民约与国家法律的理论、现实及和谐之道

以村规民约为代表的乡村民间法系统与国家法系统之间的和谐共存是建设和谐农村的一个基本前提。作为一种与国家法相对立的民间法,村规民约在实际运作中与国家法既存在着冲突,也有妥协,还有互相依赖和互相渗透。应有效界定村规民约和国家法律的调整范围,在国家立法层面吸纳村规民约合理因素,完善乡镇政府对于村规民约的备案制度,实现司法层面的平衡。     

英国非法自白规则论

从理论和实践的角度,对英国程序性违法的自白和采用暴力、威胁、许诺、欺骗等非法方法获取的自白以及毒树之果具体取舍的做法作了较深入探讨.英国非法自白规则采取法定应然性排除和法官自由裁量处理的两种路径.英国对非法自白取舍的标准归根结底在于自白的任意性,而自白的任意性标准是可变的,故英国法官自由裁量的处理仍然是非法自白取舍的主要路径.     

盗窃罪中“数额较大”的认定规则

“数额较大”的认定是盗窃罪定罪量刑中的关键问题之一。司法解释采用了数额属性多元化的认定方法,既缺乏理论基础,也难以有效指导实务。司法裁判虽倾向于重视处罚的实质合理性,但并未形成统一的认定规则。通过梳理不同立法例下“损失”要素的定位,可以形成“占有转移”与“财产损失”两种视角下“数额较大”认定的理论方案。基于整体财产保护理念的以客观实质损失作为认定基准的方案,存在忽视我国刑法不同条款对“数额性后果”表述上的差异、对司法实践的认识以偏概全、不能妥适处理轻微实施盗窃的出罪等问题。相对而言,立足个别财产保护思想、以占有转移数额为基础,同时考虑主观指向数额的方案凸显了主观要件对不法和责任的制约,能周延地应对各种案型,值得肯定。该方案的具体规则是:先确定基础性数额即占有转移的财物价值“较大”,以此作为数额上限,再考察故意、排除意思、利用意思等主观要件指向的数额,各数额均需达到“较大”,最终的“数额较大”,是经此多种数额共同认定的结果。     

城乡综合配套改革试验区农村土地与房屋产权制度改革的实践探索——以成都市的改革实践为例

城乡综合配套改革是21世纪中国改革的战略重点之一。农村土地和房屋产权制度改革是城乡综合配套改革的基础。作为最早获批进行改革试验的地区之一,成都市进行了广泛和深入的农村土地和房屋产权制度改革实践。对于成都农村土地和房屋产权制度改革的实践经验进行理性提炼,既具典型意义,又有助于深化对该项改革的整体认识,进而发挥建立试验区和进行试点改革的典型示范效应。

日本环境友好型生活方式的立法培育经验及对我国的启示

促进公众形成环境友好型的生活方式,是建设环境友好型社会的必然要求。环境资源问题在中国和日本均已成为制约经济和社会进一步发展的瓶颈。日本在培育国民形成环境友好型生活方式方面取得了很好的成效。从法律上来看,该国的经验在于制定了完备的立法体系,并在责任分配、教育说服、公众行为的引导和综合性法律调整四个方面规定了切实有效的法律制度。我国的相关立法不完善,制度的建设也存在欠缺。因此,在技术层面上定向地借鉴日本的成熟经验,按照我国的经济基础、环境状况、环境文化和国民生活方式等基本国情,逐步完善相关的立法和制度是必要的。实践证明也是可行和有效的。     

Restructuring structured analytic techniques in intelligence

Structured analytic techniques (SATs) are intended to improve intelligence analysis by checking the two canonical sources of error: systematic biases and random noise. Although both goals are achievable, no one knows how close the current generation of SATs comes to achieving either of them. We identify two root problems: (1) SATs treat bipolar biases as unipolar. As a result, we lack metrics for gauging possible over-shooting—and have no way of knowing when SATs that focus on suppressing one bias (e.g., over-confidence) are triggering the opposing bias (e.g., under-confidence); (2) SATs tacitly assume that problem decomposition (e.g., breaking reasoning into rows and columns of matrices corresponding to hypotheses and evidence) is a sound means of reducing noise in assessments. But no one has ever actually tested whether decomposition is adding or subtracting noise from the analytic process—and there are good reasons for suspecting that decomposition will, on balance, degrade the reliability of analytic judgment. The central shortcoming is that SATs have not been subject to sustained scientific of the sort that could reveal when they are helping or harming the cause of delivering accurate assessments of the world to the policy community.     

Do Political Similarities Facilitate Interlocal Collaboration?

This research examines the extent to which political similarities—that is, homophily between political actors at the local level—affect patterns of interorganizational collaboration in an emergency response situation. While the field of emergency management has focused on implementation‐oriented arrangements among key stakeholders, few studies have systemically investigated the creation and development of interorganizational collaborations led by political actors, especially following catastrophic events. The analysis reveals that a dyadic tie with political homophily boosts local responders’ ties with other agencies during emergencies. Findings indicate that political solidarity, formulated by chief elected officials of municipalities and council members, can broaden the scope of interorganizational collaboration by mitigating institutional collective action problems at the local level. This research presents a critical recommendation for emergency managers that interlocal collaboration for timely response to a disaster is attributable to political similarities that facilitate frequent interlocal interactions through formal and/or informal agreements.     

North Korea and the East Asian Security order: competing views on what South Korea ought to do

This article investigates South Korean views on how to deal with the two major security issues regarding North Korea: its nuclear threat and regime instability. In this Special Section, the article analyzes the ongoing debate in South Korea over the government's policy toward North Korea in regard to these two issues. It argues that uncertainties about these two major issues are shaping the regional order in East Asia. In particular, the different levels of cooperation between South Korea and the United States may affect the regional security order in East Asia. In analyzing policy options available to South Korea, the riskiest option would be to employ early preemptive attacks and accelerate the collapse of North Korea given the security dilemma-driven action?reaction in East Asia. Given that the role of China has become the most crucial factor in dealing with North Korea, the most promising strategy would be to reinforce guarantees of extended nuclear deterrence and prompt a soft-landing unification.     

网络时代背景下的青少年犯罪问题研究

网络导致青少年沉迷于网络游戏、网络聊天、网络色情和网络制作;青少年网络成瘾既有外在原因,也有内部原因;青少年网络成瘾带来了许多负面影响,它导致了青少年民族传统的淡化、道德意识的弱化、人际交往的异化、抽象思维的退化,还导致青少年产生人格障碍。当务之急是趋利避害,采取加强网络监管、网德建设、信息防范、网站建设,以及净化网络参与途径等措施去预防和控制网络引发青少年犯罪的因素,去克服网络对青少年的负面影响,为青少年健康成长铺平道路。
