Contextual Compliance: Situational and Subjective Cost‐Benefit Decisions about Pesticides by Chinese Farmers

This article analyzes how cost‐benefit calculation influences compliance with pesticide regulation by Chinese farmers. Building on a study including 150 farmers and experts, it studies how operational costs and benefits and deterrence affect compliance. Moreover, it studies what variation in cost‐benefit perceptions there are with different types of rules, farms, and villages. It finds that, in this context, cost‐benefit calculation matters for compliance; with operational costs and benefits being more clearly related to compliant behavior than deterrence. It highlights that perceptions about costs and benefits are situational and vary along the type of legal rule and the type of regulated actor. It also shows that such perceptions are individually subjective, as even with similar rules and similar types of actors, perceptions vary. The paper concludes by stating expectations on how the situational and subjective nature of cost‐benefit calculation can inform regulators seeking to enhance compliance.     

A Simple Digestion Method with a Lefort Aqua Regia Solution for Diatom Extraction

Presence of diatoms in tissues has been considered as a significant sign of drowning. However, there are limitations in the present extraction methods. We developed a new digestion method using the Lefort aqua regia solution (3:1 nitric acid to hydrochloric acid) for diatom extraction and evaluated the digestive capability, diatom destruction, and diatoms' recovery of this new method. The kidney tissues from rabbit mixed with water rich in diatoms were treated by the Lefort aqua regia digestion method (n = 10) and the conventional acid digestion method (n = 10). The results showed that the digestive capability of Lefort aqua regia digestion method was superior to conventional acid digestion method (p < 0.01); the structure of diatom remained almost intact; and the recovery of diatom was comparable to the conventional acid digestion method (p > 0.05). The Lefort aqua regia reagent is an improvement over the conventional acid digestion for recovery of diatoms from tissue samples.     

刑事DNA采样和分析中的法理思考

刑事DNA采样和分析是查明案件事实的重要侦查措施。刑事DNA采样可能会侵犯被采样人的身体权、人身自由权和反对强迫自证其罪特权,不当的刑事DNA分析可能会侵犯其基因隐私权。我国刑事诉讼法关于DNA采样和分析的规定存在诸多缺陷,应进一步完善对第三人采样的程序规范、强制采样的标准和审查核准主体以及强制采样适用的案件类型。同时确立先非私密样本后私密样本的采样程序,限定DNA分析目的仅为同一性识别。     

海洋刑法学视阈下船旗国刑事管辖原则辨析

以海上国际犯罪作为研究对象的海洋刑法学研究范式之提出意在突破传统教义刑法学的研究框架.从刑法之外研究刑法,使得从教义刑法学向一种普适刑法学的转变成为可能;作为国家主权体现的刑事管辖权在实然层面上会面临冲突是一种客观事实,不能将其作为否定船旗国刑事管辖是属地管辖原则之补充的理由;船旗国管辖原则只有在刑事司法管辖权层面下有其独立存在之必要,相应的,我国刑法之规定并无修改之必要.

亲亲相隐制度及现代法律价值思考

亲亲相隐制度在中国古代伦理法中占有极为重要的地位,它不仅有利于社会的和谐与稳定,有利于对亲情的保护,也有利于对人权的保护。对今天的法治建设也有重要的借鉴意义,应该大胆合理地吸收。本文试图通过对亲亲相隐制度原则进行研究,阐明该制度包含的合理法律价值,对当代中国法律制度的借鉴意义。     

死刑复核程序之检察身份探究

在死刑复核权回归的背景下,探索检察机关介入死刑复核程序涉及其双重角色的正当求证问题。基于检察监督权与公诉权之上下权能辨析,并合理构建检察机关内部的权力分野机制,检察机关在死刑复核程序中的双重角色并不存在逻辑上的悖论,相反它符合我国现行的司法权力分配与制度运行逻辑。
