Death after anal "fisting"

A 45-year-old homeless woman was found dead at her usual sleeping place. Apart from traces of blood on the lower abdomen of the body, the police investigations did not produce any clues pointing to an unnatural death. At autopsy, it was found, however, that death had been caused by extensive disruptions of the intestine. After being confronted with the results, the sexual partner of the victim admitted manual anal penetration, but claimed that this had been done by mutual agreement. The court did not accept that statement and sentenced him to life imprisonment for murder. The frequency of such fatal outcomes of anal penetration, the relationship between the perpetrator and the victim and the special features at the scene are discussed.     

Anti-money laundering by international institutions: a preliminary assessment

This paper presents an evaluation of the Anti-Money Laundering and Combating Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT) program. It briefly discusses why this can be seen as the birth of a “regime for financial integrity”. We find that some areas of the AML/CFT framework are consistently weaker than others in the area of prevention measures. Specifically, we have two findings: the first, positive one, points to a substantial adequacy of the repressive measures; the second, negative one, points to a substantial failure of countries to adopt adequate preventive measures, and calls for renewed efforts to improve implementation of preventive measures across the board, with specific regard to the activity of financial sector regulatory and supervisory authorities. Also, Eurozone countries outperform all other groups in the sample. Finally, the limited availability of country information and the multiplicity of assessors and methodologies make it difficult to evaluate the performance of the program. Therefore, we suggest greater transparency and availability of detailed countries’ information, and follow up assessments of the weak areas of a country’s AML/CFT framework at higher frequency than the established 5 years.

History of childhood abuse and neglect and suicidal behavior at hospital admission

Suicide is a major public health problem. Preventive measures have been sought by identifying risk factors. This study evaluates the association of childhood abuse and neglect with suicidal behavior at the time of psychiatric hospital admission. A total of 120 subjects (72 females; mean age 42.5 +/- 15.6 years old) admitted from August 2006 to July 2007 completed the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ) to assess severity of exposure to childhood maltreatment. Thereof 62 (51.6%) patients presented with suicidal behavior at admission. Patients who had attempted suicide had significantly higher CTQ scores. Regression analysis indicated that shorter illness duration and severity of childhood maltreatment were predictors of suicidal behavior at admission. The study showed that inpatients of a psychiatric unit of a general hospital who experienced severe childhood abuse or neglect were significantly more likely to present with suicidal behavior. History of childhood maltreatment should be evaluated as an associated risk factor of suicidal behavior at admission of psychiatric inpatients.     

关于治安行政管理概念的探讨

目前关于治安行政管理概念的表述存在诸多分歧。笔者尝试将治安行政管理的概念定义为 :治安行政管理是国家警察机关为了维护统治阶级所需要的社会治安秩序 ,保障社会生活正常进行 ,运用多种手段 ,通过计划、组织、指挥、协调、控制等环节 ,对影响社会治安秩序的各种因素加以认识和改造的行政管理活动。根据业务范围、地域、行业、社会形态的不同 ,其外延划分也有所不同。

对公安警察院校经济法课程教改的新思考

经济法学是法学专业14门主干课程之一,针对公安警察院校学生培养的特殊性,经济法作为专业基础课,学校应从素质教育的高度重视经济法的教学,在教学内容上应该与普通院校有所区别,有所侧重。应当充分利用经济法课程与经济犯罪及经侦专业之间的知识连续性和内在相关性,找准基础与专业的切入点,紧密结合经济刑法、经济犯罪,紧密结合公安实践,突出经济法作为专业基础课的“专业”倾向性。通过反思经济法业务本身的专业性,不断完善经济法的教学内容和教学方法、教学手段。     

近代中国票据中介机构的制度创新及其启示——以上海银行票据承兑所为例

上世纪二三十年代,由于商业习惯和信用状况的限制,中国无法建立一个真正意义上的票据中介机构,不得不结合当时中国的国情和商情,进行制度创新,从而创立了一个极为特殊的票据中介机构,即上海银行票据承兑所.1936年3月16日开业的上海银行票据承兑所是近代中国第一家专营票据承兑和贴现的机构,标志着近代中国票据贴现市场的雏形.从组织形式、信用工具和运作方式等方面来分析,上海银行票据承兑所对票据中介机构进行了较大的制度创新,虽然它只存在了5年多的时间,但其制度创新的理念为当今票据市场建设提供了许多有益的启示.     

新时期法律政策研究工作的若干思考
