中国的后李斯特主义崛起

虽然对于中国崛起已经有很多讨论,但是对中国崛起的含义仍有争议。争论的关键在于中国崛起是对全球范围的新自由主义霸权的挑战还是进一步巩固了全球范围的新自由主义霸权。本文批判地考察了激进全球化理论的一些关键假设,具体来说,就是中国代表着另一种形式的"竞争型国家",其发展抱负已经从根本上受到全球"新     

青少年刑事司法视野中的英国骚乱处置研究——以2011年8月伦敦骚乱处置为分析对象

2011年8月,伦敦北部托特纳姆区暴发大规模骚乱,并席卷伦敦和整个英格兰地区的多个大城市.青少年是暴乱的主要参与者,并乘着社会秩序的混乱,大肆打砸抢,造成了大量的人身和财产上的损害.在本案后续的刑事司法处置过程中,法院侧重于考察青少年群体性暴力整体、罪行恶性程度、社会和谐秩序受损程度,而不应该过多虑及暴乱参与者的原始动机.这种司法处置策略与英格兰地区长期以来处理大型暴乱的一贯刑事审判方针是一脉相承的.这对我国处理2012年10月中日钓鱼岛事件引发的打砸抢等影响社会安全的突发事件——尤其是对于当前尚未进行的刑事审判活动——具有积极的参考意义.

Predicting Short-Term Institutional Aggression in Forensic Patients: A Multi-Trait Method for Understanding Subtypes of Aggression

Accurately predicting inpatient aggression is an important endeavor. The current study investigated inpatient aggression over a six-month time period in a sample of 152 male forensic patients. We assessed constructs of psychopathy, anger, and active symptoms of mental illness and tested their ability to predict reactive and instrumental aggression. Across all levels of analyses, anger and active symptoms of mental illness predicted reactive aggression. Traits of psychopathy, which demonstrated no relationship to reactive aggression, were a robust predictor of instrumental aggression. This study (a) reestablishes psychopathy as a clinically useful construct in predicting inpatient instrumental aggression, (b) provides some validation for the reactive/instrumental aggression paradigm in forensic inpatients, and (c) makes recommendations for integrating risk assessment results into treatment interventions.

美国管制革新的方法

美国<行政程序法>,总的来说是一件相当不错的法律,很好地经受住了时间的考验.当然,我们也承认它存在一些缺陷,并需要更新,但是反对商业团体和他们在国会中的支持者们所提出的这样巨大的、有时甚至是激进的改变.     

恢复性司法的功效

恢复性司法不仅成为处理犯罪问题的较好方式,还成为帮助村落社会成为更加尊重权利、学习如何成为民主社会的一种方式.恢复性司法最大的前景不在于它比法院审理或者辩诉交易更有直接效果,而在于较之传统的刑事司法,是对犯罪有效干预的承载工具.有越来越充分的证据表明,恢复性司法本身对于减少重新犯罪有直接效果.有关恢复性司法的文献越来越有力地说明,还能够通过更多的正义和当地社区更多地参与决策来减少犯罪.     

强国的“支柱”：俄罗斯政党制度的选择

“统一俄罗斯”党奉行“保守主义的现代化”战略,其要旨就在于把自由和公正价值有机统一,构建独立自主的民主制度,使俄罗斯成为现代世界强国。作者以亨廷顿、托克威尔等人的理论为根据,认为任何民主都有自己的特色,多党制并非民主必须的条件,处于现代化进程中的俄罗斯,既不适合实行多党制,也不能实行一党制,而应该实行两党制或一党居优制,这是俄罗斯成为现代世界强国的基础和“支柱”。

Age estimation from the human os coxa: a test on a documented Italian collection*

Current standards for age at death estimation from the pelvis are based on Americans of European and African ancestry. Our limited understanding of population variability hampers our efforts to apply these techniques to the various skeletal populations around the world, especially in global forensic contexts. However, documented skeletal samples are rare, limiting our ability to test our techniques. This study tested the Suchey-Brooks pubic symphysis aging method and the auricular surface method originally developed by Lovejoy et al. on a large sample (n = 404) of known sex and age from the Sassari Collection, housed at the Museum of Anthropology at the University of Bologna, Italy. The results indicate that for both methods, bias and inaccuracy increased with age and actual age tended to be underestimated over the age of 40. The auricular surface method performed slightly better, exhibiting slightly lower levels of bias and inaccuracy, especially for males.     

Unaccompanied refugee children and adolescents: the glaring contrast between a legal and a psychological perspective

Unaccompanied refugee children and adolescents are a vulnerable group: they live not only in a relatively difficult situation as minor refugees staying in another country, but also face other risks due to the absence of their parents, such as traumatic experiences, exploitation or abuse. The difficult living situation of these unaccompanied refugee children and adolescents might therefore threaten their emotional well-being, resulting in important emotional and behavioural problems. This 'psychological' perspective shows the necessity of a strongly elaborated reception and care system for these children and adolescents in order to meet their specific situation and needs. Nevertheless, the case study of unaccompanied refugee minors living in Belgium, as explored in this paper, shows that the legal perspective on these youths - considering them as 'refugees' and 'migrants', not as 'children' - is predominantly the starting point to build the care system on. Moreover, this legal perspective contrasts sharply with the psychological perspective, as such that these children and adolescents do not receive appropriate support and care as they need.
