论思想政治工作的定量化

思想政治工作的定量化走过了一个酝酿、产生和逐步发展的演进历程。作为一种融理论、实践和技术于一体的系统工程,新世纪新阶段思想政治工作的定量化要在广泛汲取古今中外相关理论、方法和技术的基础上,以人的思想信息认知的定量化为基点,紧紧围绕决策定量化、思想政治工作定量化和评估定量化来展开;同时,还必须科学地认识思想政治工作定量化的地位作用,扬其长、避其短,最大限度地发挥其功效。

日本走向政治大国的蹒跚之路--从日本对二战侵略罪行的反省态度说起

自上个世纪80年代以来,日本一直为谋求“正常国家”待遇、实现向政治大国的转变而努力。然而,日本要想真正成为“政治大国”,就必须注重软权力的巩固,尤其是国家形象的塑造。而要做到这一点,日本应该首先在二战侵略罪行上反省。     

Fraud: The Characteristic Crime of the Twenty-First Century

In the same way that larceny characterized much of twentieth century, fraud will likely characterize the twenty-first century. Larceny remains the most common oi all serious crimes, but fraud may overtake larceny as the crime of choice in the future, because of changes in our ownership, storage, and movement of property. Fraud involves purposely obtaining the property of another through deception, and its popularity as a crime of choice is growing. Entrusting property to the custody oi others, storing property at remote locations, and electronic movement of property are shown to be major changes in the way we treat property and increase opportunities for theft. The connection between fraud and many of the serious crimes of the twenty-first century are shown in the facts of recent cases. The motivation of thefl behind many frauds is also shown to be used to fund larger criminal objectives, such as illegal immigration and terrorism. The points of view expressed are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the position or policies of the U.S. Department of Justice.

埃塞俄比亚职业资格证书体系的建设

埃塞俄比亚的职业技术教育与培训目前尚处于边改革、边建设的过程中,最终目标是建立一个以就业为导向,以需求为基础的有利于全国经济发展的职业技术教育与培训体系。改革的重点是职业资格证书体系,包括职业标准的开发、职业资格鉴定和职业资格证书。目前埃塞已建立50个职业标准,为企业和培训机构提供了统一的标准。但由于埃塞的职业资格证书体系尚处在建设和完善阶段,存在培训质量不高、认证体系不够灵活等问题。因此,进一步开发职业标准、加强师资队伍建设、完善课程体系、改善办学条件是埃塞职业资格证书体系建设今后要完成的主要任务。

NO COMMUNITY IS AN ISLAND: THE EFFECTS OF RESOURCE DEPRIVATION ON URBAN VIOLENCE IN SPATIALLY AND SOCIALLY PROXIMATE COMMUNITIES*

The link between resource deprivation and urban violence has long been explored in criminological research. Studies, however, have largely ignored the potential for resource deprivation in particular communities to affect rates of violence in others. The relative inattention is notable because of the strong theoretical grounds to anticipate influences that extend both to geographically contiguous areas and to those that, though not contiguous, share similar social characteristics. We argue that such influences—what we term spatial and social proximity effects, respectively—constitute a central feature of community dynamics. To support this argument, we develop and test theoretically derived hypotheses about spatial and social proximity effects of resource deprivation on aggregated and disaggregated homicide counts. Our analyses indicate that local area resource deprivation contributes to violence in socially proximate communities, an effect that, in the case of instrumental homicides, is stronger when such communities are spatially proximate. We conclude by discussing the implications of our findings for theories focused on community‐level social processes and violence, and for policies aimed at reducing crime in disadvantaged areas.     

THE POTENTIAL OF THE FAMILY LAW EDUCATION REFORM PROJECT FOR FAMILY LAWYERS1

Family lawyers are major beneficiaries of the reforms set out in the Family Law Education Reform Project (FLER) Report. This commentary from a veteran family law practitioner explores the needs of the family law bar for the training of law students in practical, interdisciplinary, client‐centered lawyering that goes beyond the traditional case method. I trace many of the current innovations evolving in family law practice and how FLER reforms will not only benefit law schools but also have a major impact in the courts and private practice sector.
