Expert Testimony Pertaining to Battered Woman Syndrome: Its Impact on Jurors' Decisions

Participants (N = 200) were presented with a criminal homicide trial involving a battered woman who had killed her abuser. Within the trial, both the response history (passive, active) and presence of expert testimony pertaining to battered woman syndrome (present, absent) were systematically varied. As well, half of the participants in each of these conditions were provided with a nullification instruction informing them that they were free to disregard the law and acquit should a strict application of the law result in an unjust verdict. Results indicated that, compared to the passive response condition, the mock jurors were no less receptive to the expert testimony in the active response condition. The impact of the testimony on participants' verdicts, however, was moderated by the nullification instruction. That is, although the presence of the testimony did result in greater verdict leniency, this only occurred when the mock jurors had been released from a strict application of the law. The implications of these findings are discussed.

《安娜·卡列尼娜》中的三个女性形象安娜、陶丽和吉娣,陶丽主要是作为母亲而存在,吉娣是好妻子的范本,家庭中的天使,而安娜则是一个摆脱了女人三种固有身份的原初状态的女人,她为自己而活然而却终究无法摆脱对男人的内在依附性。三个女人各自散发出了独特的光芒,但她们在不同程度上都受着男权社会形式各异的束缚。这是她们共同的悲哀。     

WTO许可程序规则对我国行政许可制度改革的启示

改革行政许可制度是我国建立社会主义市场经济体制的重要一环,WTO许可程序规则所确立的许可理念,对我国行政许可制度改革具有重要的启示。针对我国行政许可制度存在的行政许可权的设立、运行机制及责任制度的缺陷,在制定统一的行政许可程序标准法、确立行政许可适用的有效范围、确立我国行政许可制度的一般适用原则等方面应大胆借鉴WTO许可程序规则,改革我国的行政许可制度。     

关于扩大人大财政监督职责的几个问题

在我国,审议财政预算及其执行情况,是各级人民代表大会及其常务委员会监督政府机关的工作,规范政府行为的重要途径。由于历史和现实诸多因素的制约,目前我国人大财政预算监督质量还不高。对此我们认为:一、应该对人大的财政监督职能及其实施有更加明确、规范的规定。二、针对我国目前预算实施所出现的问题,考虑(1)建立重大项目的特别全程审查制度。(2)加强人大对部门预算的审查。三、明确“第二财政”的财政性,把他的使用纳入人大的审查和监督的范围。

The Process of Recovery and Rebuilding among Abused Women in the Conservative Evangelical Subculture

This study utilized a naturalistic methodology to develop a grounded theory of the process of recovery and rebuilding among abused women situated in the conservative evangelical subculture. Among all the women, spirituality and church participation were an integral part of their identity and generated culture-specific issues that needed to be addressed in therapy. The women's faith functioned as a meaning-making framework that could either engender shame and guilt or inspire hope and empower transformative change. The church functioned as an extended family system that could minimize, deny, and enable abuse or provide much-needed social support, spiritual encouragement, and practical assistance. The recovery process required that these women rebuild their personal and spiritual identity, redefine their relationship with the religious community, and find ways of expressing their new identity within the religious subculture.     

同一个体发毛角蛋白电泳谱型的分析

用SDS -PAGGE对收集到的 2 0例人体表毛发 (头发、阴毛、腋毛、腿毛 )角蛋白组分进行了分析。结果表明 ,同一个体毛发角蛋白电泳谱型基本相同 ,用激光光密度仪对电泳凝胶板扫描后证实 ,同一个体毛发角蛋白组分相对百分含量也无明显差异 ;人头部不同部位 (顶部、左侧、右侧、额部、枕部 )头发角蛋白的电泳谱型和角蛋白组分相对百分含量也基本相同。同一个体毛发角蛋白组分的分析 ,可为法医物证学鉴定中的毛发个人识别提供重要的依据。     

Over the centuries: a history of Wollstonecraft reception

ABSTRACT

Both Wollstonecraft’s fame and infamy are attributable to her lived experience as the woman author of the only radical republican feminist text published in the pamphlet war of the 1790s. Yet, her radical republican politics were divorced from her gender politics in the early reception. This paper argues that this separation was subsequently sustained in part by interpretive practices that rest on the suppression of the original split. It shows that over the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, both outside and within academia, the dominant interpretive tendency of neglecting Wollstonecraft’s radical republican politics has deradicalized both her historical political thought and her iconic image. This conventional reception has both enabled and limited the resources made available through Wollstonecraft to feminists throughout history.
