法制新闻报道的发展与存在的问题

法制新闻作为一种专业性新闻,是以1980年《中国法制报》的创刊为标志的。1985年开始的向全体公民普及法律常识的活动,是中国向社会主义法制迈进的一个创举,同时也促进了法制新闻的快速发展。近20年来,人民群众在生活中基本树立起了契约观念、诉讼观念、依法办事和在法律面前人人平等的观念,法制新闻报道的内容也早已涉及国家、社会生活的方方面面。因此,作为对这个现实进行反映的法制新闻报道的重要性得到了进一步的提升,形成了独特的媒介文化景观。目前的法制新闻报道与早期报道相比,出现了一些值得肯定的新特点,但仍然存在一些问题。

External Constraints on Local Service Standards: The Case of Comprehensive Performance Assessment in English Local Government

Central government in the UK has introduced performance management regimes that apply rewards and sanctions to local service providers. These regimes assume that organizational performance is attributable to decisions made by local policy-makers rather than circumstances beyond their control. We test this assumption by developing a statistical model of external constraints on service standards and applying this model to the outcomes of comprehensive performance assessment (CPA) in English local government. The results show that CPA scores were significantly influenced by the characteristics – such as social diversity and economic prosperity – of local populations. Thus 'poor' performance is partly attributable to difficult circumstances rather than bad choices.     

论刑事诉讼中实体公正与程序公正之关系

程序公正近年来在我国法学理论界引起很大争论与探讨,就刑事诉讼中实体公正与程序公正之关系,各种观点百家争鸣,而该问题不仅为诉讼理论问题,且关系到诉讼中人权保障、诉讼模式等一系列实质内容,但有些提法抛开法律文化背景与法制现状,一味强调程序优先或过分坚持实体优先,有失偏颇。
