制定《商事通则》论纲--以总体思路、体系结构为研究内容

制定《商事通则》的总体思路是 :《商事通则》只应调整那些传统民法难以或不便调整的以营利为目的的社会关系 ;应以企业作为主要规范对象 ;只应将总纲性的法律规范 ,以及不宜以商事单行法的形式规范或以商事单行形式规范成本过高的内容包含进去 ;其法律属性应为具有较多公法规范的私法。《商事通则》的体系结构应根据我国现实的理论、立法和实践确定 ,应在《商事通则》的篇首置“基本原则”章。     

阶级民主和程序民主——考茨基和列宁政制之争再思考

1918年考茨基和列宁关于民主问题的争论,对后来社会主义的发展,无论在观念上,还是历史上,都产生了极其重要的影响。考茨基认为,列宁和布尔什维克背叛民主,而列宁则认为考茨基歪曲民主的实质。在考茨基和列宁争论的背后,隐含着一个极其重要的问题,即社会主义民主是阶级民主和程序民主的有机统一。认识这一点,对于社会主义民主思想史的研究和当代中国民主政治的发展具有重要的价值。     

Sources and Transitions of Chinese Foreign Policy: An Introduction

Chinese foreign policy has multiple sources, and the incentives that are driving its behaviour have grown from the domestic/international, as well as from regional, economic, normative, multilateral, and cultural levels. Foreign policy-making in China is becoming increasingly complex and sophisticated. This special issue is drawn from some edited papers presented in the joint workshop between Fudan and Durham Universities on Chinese foreign policy on 29–30 March 2010. By assessing the economic, domestic, regional, global and cultural sources of Chinese foreign policy, we aim to illustrate the various sources and to locate possible ways to consolidate the transitional process, and to spur future endeavour facing China’s foreign policy.     

未成年人社区矫正的理论与构想

对未成年罪犯进行社区矫正不仅有利于保障未成年人人权、实现未成年罪犯再社会化,也有利于与国际少年司法制度接轨,因此建立和完善社区矫正制度有着现实的必要性。社区矫正工作虽然在我国尚处于起步阶段,但随着社区的不断发展与成熟、社区居民素质的普遍提高以及社区矫正试点工作取得的成效,为社区矫正制度的发展提供了相应的条件。我国社区矫正制度既需要制定专门性法律也需要完善相应的司法制度。     

我国职务犯罪侦查机制的反思与重构

随着改革的不断深入,我国职务犯罪越来越严重,作案手段智能化程度越来越高,反侦查能力越来越强,而随着新《律师法》的实施和司法改革进程的加快,职务犯罪侦查受到的挚肘越来越大,传统的侦查机制越来越落后,侦查工作越来越艰难。面对日益严峻的形势,我们应针对当前侦查机制存在的弊端,创新管理体制,建立大侦查格局,优化侦查权限,完善配套制度,转变侦查模式。     

In Search of Respect: Examining Arrestee Satisfaction with Police

Recent research suggests that attitudes toward police hinge upon the procedures officers use in their interactions with the public. Using survey data collected from a sample of adults arrested and booked into a local jail in Washington County, Arkansas, this paper examines some of the factors that influence arrestees’ satisfaction with police. Results reveal that the most important factor influencing arrestees’ opinions of police was their belief in the benevolence of police actions, followed by their perceptions of the effectiveness of police, whether or not their arresting officer treated them with respect, racial group membership, and total household income. These findings lend support to the “normative” or “process-based” model of policing. The authors discuss the implications of these findings for police and jail administrators.

Reducing intimate partner homicides: The effects of federally-funded shelter service availability in California

Over twenty-five years of policy and scholarly attention to the problem of intimate partner violence appears to have generated greater victim safety. Intimate partner homicides, the most serious form of violence between intimates, have been declining for nearly three decades in many contexts, but not all. This study built on a small number of studies that had advanced knowledge about the policy-relevant factors behind the intimate partner homicide decline. The analysis described here utilized a set of county-level data from California from 1987 to 2000 to estimate the effects of shelter-based service availability on race/ethnicity-specific female intimate partner homicide victimization. The study relied on a new measure of service availability in an attempt to overcome limitations with previously used indicators. This analysis did not reveal an effect of shelter-based service availability and criminal justice system responses on changes in female intimate partner homicide victimizations. Reasons for these findings and suggestions for future research are discussed.
