城市化进程中的外来人员犯罪问题研究——以温州为个案

城市是人类文明和进步的产物,是科学技术、经济发展的象征.城市化是人类社会发展的大趋势,能够改变世界的落后面貌,能够让越来越多的人享受到现代城市文明生活.在这些地方,为什么会出现高犯罪率?本文通过对温州市在城市化进程中的外来人员犯罪问题的探索,试图对全国城市化进程中的城市犯罪问题有一个更为深刻的认识.     

通过章程的现代大学治理

大学是崇真、向美、求善之领地,大学是国民教育之象牙塔;现代大学治理是法律维度下的治理,是以章程为制度载体的治理。章程乃大学之宪法,其演绎着校内行政权力与学术权力的博弈,折射着高校与政府、社会、师生的良性秩序和谐。大学章程是组织法,更是权利法与程序法;通过章程的现代大学治理是校长治校与教授治学之耦合,是学术自由与人权保障之凸显,是实体法治与程序法治之统一。     

公安刑侦工作可持续发展的思考

长期以来,公安刑侦干警以超负荷的状态与各类刑事犯罪活动作斗争,取得了驾驭治安局势的主动权、制胜权。在当前日趋严峻复杂的刑事犯罪形势下,如何加强公安刑侦工作的可持续发展、深化刑侦工作改革是实现侦查破案方式转变、提高侦查破案率、牢牢掌握打击犯罪主动权的有效途径。本文通过对目前刑侦工作中存在的问题和产生的原因进行了分析,提出了公安刑侦工作可持续发展的构想。     

行政过程中的信息公开问题探讨

在行政过程中尚处于讨论、研究、审查中的政府信息,《政府信息公开条例》没有规定免予公开,在政府信息公开实践中倾向于不予公开。政府行政过程中的信息,按照过程公开的要求,应当依法公开,在公开过程中同时考虑到社会的安定性,应衡量行政效率与公民知情权的关系。     

论我国土地征收的程序保障

正当的土地征收程序能更好制约公权力,保护私权利,平衡二者之间的冲突。我国现行征地程序存在严重缺陷,不能充分发挥其保障作用,亟待完善。要充分发挥程序的保障作用,就必须立足于保护农民的知情权、参与权与权利救济,遵循正当程序相关规则,不断加以完善。     

以作案过程为主线的勘查方法

刑事案件的现场勘查工作,是刑事侦查工作的第一步,它直接影响以后的侦破工作。应当把是否弄清作案过程作为衡量现场勘查质量的一个标准,勘查中必须以作案过程为主线,一切勘查活动均在这个主线指导下进行,一切勘查活动均为完成对这条主线的认识而展开。     

将过程思想引进立法研究的思考

立法过程是立法研究的一个重要方面。过程思想提供了一种新的方法论视角,使我们动态地、联系地观察立法过程,全面、完整地把握其规律性。有关过程和立法过程的思想观点有助于我们加深认识立法过程的内涵、特点和复杂性,并可以在立法实践中具体应用。     

“Regulation,I presume?” said the robot – Towards an iterative regulatory process for robot governance

This article envisions an iterative regulatory process for robot governance. In the article, we argue that what lacks in robot governance is actually a backstep mechanism that can coordinate and align robot and regulatory developers. In order to solve that problem, we present a theoretical model that represents a step forward in the coordination and alignment of robot and regulatory development. Our work builds on previous literature, and explores modes of alignment and iteration towards greater closeness in the nexus between research and development (R&D) and regulatory appraisal and channeling of robotics’ development. To illustrate practical challenges and solutions, we explore different examples of (related) types of communication processes between robot developers and regulatory bodies. These examples help illuminate the lack of formalization of the policymaking process, and the loss of time and resources that the waste of knowledge generated for future robot governance instruments implies. We argue that initiatives that fail to formalize the communication process between different actors and that propose the mere creation of coordinating agencies risk being seriously ineffective. We propose an iterative regulatory process for robot governance, which combines the use of an ex ante robot impact assessment for legal/ethical appraisal, and evaluation settings as data generators, and an ex post legislative evaluation instrument that eases the revision, modification and update of the normative instrument. In all, the model breathes the concept of creating dynamic evidence-based policies that can serve as temporary benchmark for future and/or new uses or robot developments. Our contribution seeks to provide a thoughtful proposal that avoids the current mismatch between existing governmental approaches and what is needed for effective ethical/legal oversight, in the hope that this will inform the policy debate and set the scene for further research.     

HRM: Performance Relationship: Need for Further Development?

The last decade of empirical research on the HRM value additions, also known as the “HRM and performance” debate, demonstrates evidence that HRM does matter (Huselid, 1995 Huselid, M. 1995. The impact of human resource management on turnover, productivity and corporate financial performance. Academy of Management Journal, 38(3): 635–672. [Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]; Guest et al., 2003 Guest, D.E., Michie, J., Conway, N. and Sheehan, M. 2003. Human resource management and corporate performance in the UK. British Journal of Industrial Relations, 41(2): 291–314. [Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]; Wright et al., 2003 Wright, P., Gardner, M. and Moynihan, L. 2003. The impact of HR practices on the performance of business units. Human Resources Management Journal, 13(4): 21–36.  [Google Scholar]; Rehman et al., 2010). Unfortunately, the relationships are often statistically weak and the results ambiguous. This article reviews and attempts to extend the theoretical and methodological issues in this debate. Its aim is to build an agenda for future research in this area. A brief overview of achievements to date is followed by the theoretical and methodological issues related to what constitutes HRM, what is meant by the concept of performance, and the nature of the link between these two. In the final section, it is argued that research designs should start from a multi-dimensional concept of performance, including the perceptions of employees, and build on the premise of HR systems as an enabling device for a whole range of strategic options. This implies a reversal of the strategy-HRM linkage.     

The Politics of Infrastructural Projects: A Case for Evidence-Based Policymaking

Many developing countries currently face tightening fiscal constraints as a result of the global financial crisis and associated reduction in both credit and demand. Policymarkers therefore have less fiscal space within which to undertake projects, so the opportunity cost of any misallocation of resources will be correspondingly higher. There is therefore an increasing need to rely more on evidence-based policymaking (EBPM). The is particularly so for large infrastructural projects, as these tend to be costly, and especially for transportation projects as these are particularly prone to result in sub-optimal outcomes. This paper examines the policy process for the implementation of the Jamaican Highway 2000, one of the largest and most costly infrastructure projects in Jamaica in recent years. A number of primary and secondary data sources were explored to ascertain the extent to which the decision to implement the project reflects a case for evidence-based decision-making in practice. This made it clear that the decision was taken at least partly on political grounds, largely in the absence of any supportive evidence, and on the basis of over-optimistic and unrealistic assumptions, and that this has created a number of serious, long-term challenges for Jamaica.
