Developmental trends of delinquent attitudes and behaviors: replications and synthesis across domains, time, and samples

Inconsistent findings of attitude-behavior relations are commonly attributed to uncontrolled domain, time, or situational factors. Without integrative work, studies accounting for these factors may further complicate research by introducing potentially numerous third variables and render a coherent understanding of the attitude-behavior relationship even more difficult to achieve. In this paper, a developmental perspective is taken and the attitude-behavior relationship in delinquency is examined using three modes of investigation: multivariate patterns of attitude-behavior associations, their mutual predictability, and their developmental trajectories. Three grade cohorts of public school boys (n=1517 of the first, seventh, and tenth grades, initially) were followed over a period of 4 years, with an average age span of 7–16 years. Correspondence analyses suggested that adolescent boys with a tolerant attitude toward theft or violence were more deviant than those who had actual behavior of theft or violence. Stronger attitude effect on subsequent behavior, relative to behavior effect on subsequent attitudes, was found among boys aged 10–12 years. While mean scores of tolerant attitudes to serious theft and violence increased linearly with their behavior counterparts between 6 and 17 years of age, ages 11 and 14 were two turning points at which most delinquent attitudes and behaviors escalated at a higher speed. In general, delinquent attitudes and behaviors were related to each other in various patterns, and age was a defining factor that provided much of the explanation for the inconsistencies in research findings.

我国新股发行定价市场化问题探讨

资本市场的效率很大程度上取决于市场的定价效率,理论分析表明最有效的定价方式是市场化的发行定价.我国的资本市场效率在新股发行方式的不断变换中得到改善,但是新股的发行定价还没有真正实现市场化.本文力图找出适合于现阶段我国股市的发行定价方式,逐步实现市场化的发行和定价方式,提高资本市场的资源配置效率.     

民法本位新论

民法本位是民法的根本指归.近、现民法本位未变,即都是权利本位、个人本位.个人本位比权利本位更为本原,称其为民为本位,则更确切.可在广义社会法下的经济法和行政法中确定社会本位乃至国家本位.民法本位是民法的出发点,民法价值是民法的归结点,均蕴含并体现在民法基本原则中.     

侦查学学科建设的三大基本理念

现行侦查学研究经验总结有余而严谨的理论抽象不足 ,缺乏作为专门知识体系所应当具有的理念价值和对侦查实践所应保持的审视态度。侦查学学科建设应确定三大任务 ,即 :人权保障观念、法治观念和犯罪预防观念 ,以此为侦查学理论体系更新和发展方向。
