The ADA on the Road: Disability Rights in Germany

This paper examines the impact of a "disability rights model" on the emerging disability rights movement in Germany. Traditional German disability politics and activism are based on the expansion of welfare and special needs provisions rather than on equal rights and integration. Inspired by the 1990 Americans with Disability Act, German activists adopted a disability rights model and successfully worked toward the passage of a constitutional equality amendment in 1994 and ant-discrimination legislation in 2002. Using the literature on rights mobilization, this paper argues that German disability activists use rights talk to both support and contest culturally specific approaches to disability rights, equal treatment, and the role of the state in guaranteeing welfare rights. The globalization of disability rights should not be viewed as an imposition of American norms but as a more complex process of adaptation and cultural transformation that involves constructing locally legitimate approaches to disability rights with an American import.

不能犯的可罚危险判断

不能犯,是指行为不能对刑法所保护的法益造成现实侵害的状况。不能犯应否构成犯罪,是不能犯的根本问题。在这个问题上,可能存在的将不能犯全部作为不可罚的非罪的观点与将所有的不能犯均作为犯罪的观点处于对立的两极,而这样的两极在现实中并不存在:即使是最极端的观点,也不认为将迷信犯作为犯罪合理(成罪的场合),或者将所有的非实害犯均当作非罪的理论观点与立法例合理。依据社会一般人的认识进行事前判断,同时考虑行为人的特别认识作为危险的判断标准是合适的。划分一般的未遂犯与可罚的不能犯相区别的主张,对不能犯在处罚上轻于一般未遂犯是合理的。

《德伯家的苔丝》一文中的原型意象

托马斯.哈代是一位伟大的小说家,其作品《德伯家的苔丝》是一部经典的爱情小说,他利用原形批评这种文学手段,在其作品中渗透了多种原型意象,如颜色、太阳、以及圣经原型。《圣经》对哈代的思想有着深远持久的影响,他借助圣经中的神化原形意象,渲染了苔丝悲剧性的命运,揭露了当时社会的丑陋罪行。《德伯家的苔丝》不仅仅是一部爱情小说,同时也是一部关于自然,关于宗教的小说,这也是这部作品能够经久不衰的原因所在。     

Identification based on medical findings

1. The indications such as the place of finding, the identification of clothes or other personal items, represent only the first step towards the identification of a corpse. 2. An identification based on medical data, other than dental, is often possible, more often than it is believed. 3. The forensic pathologist plays a double role in the case of such an identification: a) in the phase of the inquiry, he must contact the investigators and the families to explain his wishes and the different possibilities of identification. b) he must use the gathered information in the appropriate way. 4. It would be desirable to compose some statistical tables of the various medical elements useful for the identification (mutilations, surgical operations, etc...). We present six cases of identification in our practice.     

Predicting patrol officer performance from a psychological assessment battery: A predictive validity study

The psychological assessment battery is an integral part of the selection process used to select patrol officer applicants. Unlike all other procedures used in the selection process, the psychological assessment has not been adequately validated. The purpose of this study was an attempt to provide validation data for a psychological assessment battery. The battery consisted of the Nelson-Denny, Shipley-Hartford, MMPI, and the Motivational Analysis Test (MAT). Performance measures included various measures of training academy performance and field training performance. A stepwise regression and MANOVA/Discriminant Analysis indicated that the psychological tests did predict performance, although an exact predictive equation could not be developed due to the high intercorrelations between predictor variables. This research was sponsored in part by a grant from the School of Applied Arts and Technology, Southwest Texas State University.
