刑事法治视野下热点案件的困境与出路——以许霆案为样本

广州中院一审对许霆案的定罪和量刑有着充分的刑法依据。二审判决很大程度上是司法对民意的屈从。民众意见与司法认定的激烈冲突是当前我国类似热点案件面临的主要困境。公众诉求与法治样态的错位,司法与民众沟通的长期阻隔,以及过分依赖修改法律而不重视解释法律,是造成此种困境的深层原因。回到规范判断,立足法律挖掘案件背后的问题,才是法治视野下应当坚持的理性立场和对热点案件关注的真实回归。     

怎样将大学办得让人民满意

教育为人民服务,办让人民满意的教育,是我们办教育的根本宗旨。大学在追求教学和科学研究的卓越性的同时,还必须让人民满意。大学是否能让人民满意,是检验大学办得好坏的一个标准,怎样将大学办得让人民满意,也是检验大学领导能力建设的一个根本性的标准。要将大学办得让人民满意,就应该做到:让学生满意,让家长满意,让政府满意,让社会满意。如果这四个方面都做到了,我们的大学才能是让人民满意的。在建设让人民满意的大学的同时,要注意树立依法治校的观念,处理好办让人民满意的大学和让大学承担无限责任的关系;处理好让学生满意、让家长满意与严格学校管理的关系;处理好加强基础研究与为现实需要服务的关系;处理好让政府满意、让社会满意与坚持社会公正、代表社会良心的关系。     

对执法为民几个问题的思考

公安机关和公安执法工作要真正做到执法为民,首要的是澄清认识问题。一是如何定位公安机关的角色?二是如何界定警察的权利和义务?三是如何行使警察权力?四是如何看待警务保障?只有澄清这些认识问题,才能使公安工作的每一个方面、每一个环节都真正体现人民的愿望、满足人民的需要、维护人民的利益,真正做到执法为民。

Are older deafblind people being left behind? A narrative review of literature on deafblindness through the lens of the United Nations Principles for Older People

Underpinned by the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRDP), Agenda 2030 and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is the international goal to ‘leave no one behind’. However, the World Federation of the Deafblind have argued that deafblind people have been excluded from international welfare and disability development programmes. Despite making up the majority of the deafblind population, it appears that older deafblind people are particularly invisible. The paper builds on the earlier work of others, which translated the UN Principles for Older Persons into the language of older visually impaired adults, by using them here as the lens for a narrative review of the literature on older deafblind people. It argues that existing research demonstrates that older deafblind people are not only being ‘left behind’ in benefitting from implementation of the UN Principles, but also that the focus of the UN Principles themselves risks maintaining or enhancing their exclusion. Further research and policy development with older deafblind people is required to ensure that international and national social welfare policies and provision are not nugatory to the older deafblind population.     

Popping the cultural bubble of violence risk assessment tools

Violence risk instruments are administered in medico-legal contexts to estimate an individual’s likelihood of future violence. However, their ostensible limitations; in particular their mono-cultural and risk-centric composition, has drawn academic attention. These concerns may facilitate erroneous risk evaluations for certain non-white populations. Yet it remains unaddressed how cultural differences will be appraised in a risk assessment framework and which specific cultural factors should be considered. Provisions under the Canadian Criminal Code allow for Gladue Reports, to be sought by judicial officers prior to sentencing Indigenous people. Gladue Reports provide insights into an Indigenous person’s unique circumstances that may have led to their offending as well as community-based options for rehabilitation. We proffer that there may be value in augmenting the risk evaluation with culturally relevant Gladue style considerations identified by relevant Indigenous people to provide a more holistic account of an Indigenous individual’s circumstances.     

Old people in Polish cities in the late eighteenth century

The issue of old age as a period in life of a person in the cities of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth was not widely discussed in historic literature of the past. This was due, to a large extent, to the beliefs of the researchers regarding the difficulty in capturing this phenomenon in light of rather Modest statistical sources. This study is, therefore, an attempt to scrutinise the mechanisms behind the functioning of city communities in the territories of central Poland in the late-feudal age on a basic level - the level of the smallest social unit and its economic base, i.e. the household, based on handwritten civil-military censuses from 1791-1792. The author is interested in the living situation of old people, their sizes and gender proportions in cities varying in size: from small to large ones in the second half of the 18th century. The article presents the dependencies between the age and position of men and women in the household and the proportions of old people being heads of households. Using the typology by Peter Laslett a model of a household ran by old people was shown against the background of a general structure of households in cities. The last part of the text concerns the size of households ran by old people, taking into account the social status, and their position within the family. The analysis of the censuses does not allow to determine any clear difference of living through old age in Polish cities in the 18th century in comparison to the regions which are attributed a ’unique’ model of European forms of family. The structural similarity of old age seen in Polish cities is closer to the model observed in cities of western than of eastern Europe.     

新形势下高校思想政治理论课建设（笔谈三篇）

编者按：2007年,教育部对高校思想政治理论课程做了比较大的改革。十七大又提出了科学发展观,并要求贯彻到高校思想政治课教学中去。由此对高校思想政治理论课教师的队伍结构、知识结构和课堂教学都提出了更高的要求。为此,本刊特组织本校部分教师,分别从把握马克思主义的整体性、思想政治课教师队伍建设和课堂教学"以人为本"为出发点这几个方面,探讨在新形势下对高校思想政治理论教师的要求。
