Prosecutorial regulation in the Global South: Environmental civil litigation by prosecutors in China compared to Brazil

Brazil's successful prosecutorial civil action against polluters could be a regulatory example for the Global South. This paper analyses whether such regulation could also develop without the major political, institutional, and legal reforms that spurred it in Brazil. To do so, it analyzes China, where similar reforms have so far not occurred, but where prosecutors have recently started to initiate civil litigation against polluters. It finds that prosecutorial civil litigation in China has only a limited regulatory effect or potential. Prosecutors in China are influenced by conflicting incentive structures that reward one‐off lower level test cases with an innovation bonus, while structurally stimulating a focus on general crime fighting. Ironically, as a result of such incentives, the recent legal reform, toward providing standing for prosecutors in public interest litigation, will, in contrast to Brazil, decrease rather than increase the regulatory effect of these cases. These findings have implications for understanding how the interaction between regulatory independence, legal reform, and regime type shapes possibilities for regulatory innovation in the Global South.     

Detection of Diatoms by a Combination of Membrane Filtration and Transparentness,

Diagnosis of drowning remains a difficult issue in current forensic sciences. A large number of diatoms were lost by removing the supernatant after centrifugation in the conventional forensic diatom test. We developed a novel membrane filtration method to enrich diatoms from samples. A new solution using different ratios of acetic acid and eugenol is prepared to make the membrane transparent. These processes allow the diatom‐containing membrane to be visualized and identified easily by light microscopy. The tissues contaminated by water rich in diatoms were detected by the new method for the recovery of diatoms. Eleven drowning cases were analyzed by both the new method and the conventional method to compare the sensitivity of both methods. The recovery of the novel diatom test method was 54.2 ± 23.1%. The positive rate of the novel method has been proven to be superior to the conventional method in the diagnosis of drowning.     

奥运安保背景下的民用爆炸物品管理工作研究——以绍兴市为例

通过对绍兴市民用爆炸物品管理工作历史沿革的回顾、实践的总结和现状的分析,指出在奥运安保日趋紧张、反恐形势日益严峻的背景下,要紧紧抓住“五大”工作机制建设,即警务协作机制、排查控制机制、打击查处机制、责任追究机制和涉爆处置机制建设,最大限度地做好民用爆炸物品管理工作。     

论律师法的修改及对刑事诉讼理念的影响

修改后的律师法,扩大了执业律师在刑事诉讼活动中的权利,从理论上解决了律师执业中"会见难"、"阅卷难"和"调查取证难"的三大难题.从立法机关的立法理念上来讲,这次律师法修改,是一种刑事诉讼理念上的进步,赋予了律师与司法机关在刑事诉讼中更加平等的权利,给予了律师以充分的法律信任,表明律师的政治地位和法律待遇在不断提高,他们将在刑事诉讼中发挥越来越大的作用.     

论农村土地征收中的公平补偿

在农村土地征收中确立公平补偿制度对于保护农民权益、规范政府行为、优化资源配置、维护社会稳定等具有重要意义。落实公平补偿应做到重塑以市场价格为基础的完全补偿原则,逐步扩大农地征收的补偿范围、合理拓展农地征收的补偿方式、完善征地补偿的程序与救济途径。     

博弈论维度的警察临战

博弈论是研究策略行为的科学,它研究理性的个体在相互依存时如何作出决策。警察临战具有博弈性,警察临战活动充满着多方利益与策略的博弈。基于对警察临战博弈要素和基本类型的分析,博弈论对警察临战活动具有三个层面的指导意义：观念层面,博弈论将为我们提供新的警察临战行为理念;制度层面,博弈论可以为临战制度的架构提供参考;策略层面,博弈论将为我们制定临战方案提供参考。     

警察院校知识产权开发和管理

知识产权的开发和管理、创新和发展对警察高等教育有很大的促进作用.目前警察院校知识产权开发和管理工作十分薄弱,根本原因是知识产权意识淡薄.警察院校必须从警察高等教育发展的战略高度重视对知识产权的开发和管理,才能提高办学层次,实现可持续发展.     

浅谈检察学的性质、特点与体系

检察学是以检察制度和检察活动及其规律为研究对象的一门新兴的综合性法学学科.检察学体系应当以检察制度为逻辑起点,以检察权为核心范畴,以检察理论为基础支撵,以检察制度、检察活动及其规律性研究为体系范围,用发展、开放的思维和方法来构建.     

民主社会主义思潮与苏东剧变浅析

民主社会主义实质就是一种社会改良主义。它主张在不触动现存资本主义统治的条件下进行改良,渐进地、和平地过渡到社会主义。在民主社会主义思潮的影响下,马克思主义指导地位被削弱,阵地被缩小,以致完全丧失。由此可以看出,民主社会主义与我们的科学社会主义是完全对立的两种意识形态。
