浅析《预防和制止家庭暴力法》立法的相关问题

家庭暴力,尤其是针对妇女的家庭暴力,越来越成为现阶段凸现的一个社会问题,法律是现阶段解决家庭暴力问题较为实际有效的办法,虽然我国现阶段尚无单行的《预防和制止家庭暴力法》,但在全国一些地区已然陆续制定了一些地方性法规和规章。未来的立法对一些问题是否应予规定,如何规定,是关系到立法成功与否的关键所在。     

知识产权与民法典关系的思考

知识产权制度应否纳入民法典问题是学者们一直争论的焦点问题之一。知识产权是归属于民法的,但是在现代民法典的编纂尝试中接纳知识产权制度尚无成功先例。我国未来在制定民法典时不宜将知识产权具体制度纳入其中,宜在民法典中作原则性的规定,应制定单独的知识产权法典实现知识产权法典化。     

充分认识严打方针的历史作用努力构建落实严打方针的长效机制

为了更好地贯彻落实严打方针,必须健全和完善严打长效机制。严打长效机制是政法机关为维护社会治安稳定而建立的一套能够依法有效从重从快打击严重刑事犯罪活动,能够长期发挥作用的、相对稳定的工作系统。建立严打长效机制须遵循法制原则、人权原则、科学原则和效率原则,并确立“打击犯罪是公安主业”的理念,确立“公正与效率兼容”的价值取向,确立“实现多赢效果”的评价标准。构建严打长效机制应坚决打击突出犯罪活动,切实提高严打斗争的质量和实效;加强打击犯罪工作的专业化建设;积极推进社会治安防控体系建设;加强公安基层基础建设;加强公安信息化建设和公安科技建设;建立科学的严打考核机制。

Addressing Unobserved Heterogeneity in the Relationship Between Crime and Consumer Confidence

Objectives

This study revisits the relationship between property crime and economic conditions with the latter being represented by a collective economic perception variable in the form of the Index of Consumer Confidence (ICC). The present work takes this application to assess the severity of cross-sectional dependence and nonstationarity, two issues that are deemed pervasive in macro panels but have not been given sufficient consideration in previous research.

Methods

The dataset comprises information for five Canadian regions over a time period of 24 years from 1982 to 2005. The study compares the parameter estimates and residual properties of the commonly used two-way fixed effects (2FE) model and the augmented mean group (AMG) estimator where the latter can accommodate nonstationarity and cross-sectional dependence that potentially arise from unobserved common factors.

Results

In contrast to the 2FE approach, when using the AMG estimator one can reject the null hypothesis that the current ICC has no impact on crime. Some of the effects still hold when an alternative economic indicator, the unemployment rate of young males, is added to the model. Diagnostic tests confirm that the commonly used 2FE estimator yields nonstationary and cross-sectional dependent residuals, whereas the heterogeneous parameter model produces more favorable diagnostic results.

Conclusions

The findings provide evidence supporting the hypothesis that subjective measures of economic conditions are linked to financially-motivated crime rates. Through this application, the study demonstrates the importance of examining underlying data properties and regression residuals in empirical work to ensure the validity of estimates.

     

价格,要约的有效要件?——解读CISG第14条和第55条

<联合国国际货物销售合同公约>(CISG)第14条是关于要约构成要件的规定,要求要约内容的确定性必须包含货物、数量和价格三个要素.这与公约第55条推定价格的规定相互矛盾.一项缺乏价格或价格确定方法的要约是否是有效的要约?能否根据第55条进行补救?在判断合同是否成立的问题上,公约第14条与第55条的适用存在争议.

论公平责任一般条款及适用：对《侵权责任法》第24条的解读

《侵权责任法》第24条是公平责任的一般条款,应属于补偿责任范畴.公平责任解决的并非侵权行为和侵权责任问题.公平责任的适用条件是双方均无过错.适用第24条之时,应遵循类型化优先以防止向一般条款逃避的原则,同时应基于公平的立场着重考虑多种因素.公平责任未来更合理的走向是经由责任保险再逐步转向社会福利系统来承担对受害人的补偿责任.     

Joblessness and poverty in America's central cities: Causes and policy prescriptions

Abstract

Two paradigms pervade the policy debate on the causes of urban joblessness and poverty: (1) a structural, nonvoluntaristic perspective emphasizing the roles of urban economic change, residential segregation, and spatial and skills mismatches, and (2) a rational‐choice, voluntaristic perspective contending that the generosity and ready availability of welfare programs have removed the incentive for poor persons to accept low‐paying jobs. This article brings together propositions of each paradigm into a comprehensive theoretical model. The study measured and tested key causal operators of the model for a sample of 67 large U.S. cities, with special attention to race and gender.

Results show that structural and welfare disincentive perspectives are not in conflict but rather operate side by side to reinforce joblessness and poverty. Race and gender, especially the role of urban space for women's work, are important. The article raises pertinent policy issues derived from the two perspectives and from the analysis.     

Whistleblowing: what does it mean in China?

In China, whistleblowing has both political and social functions. For the government, whistleblowing works as a social control mechanism, especially for containing corruption of its officials, while for ordinary citizens, whistleblowing provides then: with a legal weapon to fight against official malfeasance, misfeasance, and nonfeasance. This paper examines the causes, processes, and consequences of whistleblowing with an emphasis on the difficulties and dilemmas in blowing the whistle. It argues that given its important functions and implications, whistleblowing should be further legalized, encouraged, and protected to the largest possible extent in China.
