公共危机治理中的政府信息公开与治理效度——基于一项调查实验

高质量公共信息在政府与民众间的开放及流动,不仅在国家治理体系中扮演着重要角色,更对政府提升危机应对能力起到关键作用.在本次新冠疫情防治中,各地基本做到了及时公开权威性信息,但信息公开程度有所差异,这对民众的风险防范行为和疫情防治效度产生了重要影响.目前对信息公开与治理效度的研究在理论上缺乏因果机制分析,在方法上依赖观察...     

Mental health specialized probation caseloads: Are they effective?

With the large and growing number of persons with mental illnesses under probation supervision, a form of specialized probation called specialized mental health caseload (SMHC) has been implemented. This study explores the effectiveness of a prototypic SMHC implemented statewide. A quasi-experimental design was used to compare criminal justice, mental health, and community engagement outcomes among three caseloads: a newly established SMHC supervising no more than 30 clients per officer (N = 1367); an established SMHC supervising roughly 50 clients per officer (N = 495); and a traditional caseload of clients receiving mental health treatment and supervised by officers with average caseloads of over 130 clients (N = 5453). Using a mixed methods approach, we found that the SMHC was implemented with high adherence to fidelity, and comparisons based on different caseload samples generally support the effectiveness of the specialized mental health caseload, particularly on criminal justice outcomes. Future studies using random assignment are needed to examine the connection among mental health symptoms, compliance with treatment and probation supervision, and recidivism.     

论仲裁条款的独立性

仲裁条款是合同的一项条款,存在的目的是为了解决主合同的相关争议。但仲裁协议又独立于合同,不因合同不成立、终止、无效、变更、转让而失去效力。仲裁条款的独立性有理论和现实的依据。仲裁条款有效与否,关键在于其是否满足了自身的有效要件,而与合同的效力和改变没有因果关系。     

INFORMED CHOICE AND EMERGENT SYSTEMS AT THE GROWTH EDGE OF COLLABORATIVE PRACTICE

Integrated interdisciplinary team practice evolves over time as collaborative lawyers encounter the limitations of their own skill‐set in helping clients to reach consensual resolution outside the courts. Team collaboration represents the evolutionary growth edge of the collaborative practice movement. Working in teams with financial neutrals and mental health professionals who act as coaches and child specialists, collaborative lawyers become engaged in an emergent learning system called into being to assist each couple through their divorce. All professionals working on a collaborative team case participate in the process from the beginning and share responsibility for helping the clients achieve the values‐based goals identified by them early in the process. This shared professional engagement in the divorce conflict resolution process gives rise to a need for agreed roadmaps and protocols, sophisticated planning and debriefing sessions, case conferencing, and careful attention to the quality of communications at the negotiating table. None of this can happen at a “best practices” level without mutual trust between and among the professionals and a culture of transparency and accountability. These characteristics emerge over time as a natural outgrowth of working in teams.     

地方政府与企业环境治理合作关系的形成——以太湖流域水污染防治为例

政府对企业环境行为的监管一直面临着三个挑战:由于信息不对称带来的交易成本过高,企业的环境成本与收益不确定,监管方成为被监管方的"俘虏"。在环境危机的压力下,地方政府采取了运动式的环境治理方式,企业面临着不确定的环境管制。地方政府与企业之间往往形成了"同谋"和"零和"关系。在目前中国环境管理制度框架下,地方政府与企业之间能否形成合作关系?本文以太湖流域水污染防治为案例,探索可能的路径和政策选择。

A report of the 2002–2008 paternity testing workshops of the English speaking working group of the International Society for Forensic Genetics

The English Speaking Working Group (ESWG) of the International Society for Forensic Genetics (ISFG) offers an annual Paternity Testing Workshop open to all members of the group. Blood samples, a questionnaire and a paper challenge are sent to the participants. Here, we present the results of the 2002–2008 Paternity Testing Workshops with the objective to evaluate the uniformity of DNA-profiling and conclusions of the participating laboratories as well as to clarify tendencies in typing strategies and biostatistical evaluations of the laboratories. The numbers of participating laboratories increased from 46 in 2002 to 68 in 2008. The results showed an increasing degree of concordance concerning methods and DNA systems used and a high degree of uniformity in typing results with discrepancies in 0.1 and 0.3 % of all submitted PCR-based results. The paper challenges showed uniformity in the calculation of the weight of evidence for simple cases with straight-forward genetic constellations. However, a high degree of variation existed in complex scenarios with rare genetic constellations such as genetic inconsistencies/possible silent alleles, rare alleles and haplotypes.     

跨域生态环境协同治理:何以可能与何以可为

跨域生态环境问题通常发生在不同行政区域之间,兼具了一般环境问题的共性特征,同时表现出自身的独特性,致使传统的属地管理模式效率较低,亟须寻求新的治理方式。协同治理作为新兴的治理模式,契合了跨域生态环境治理的要求,能够发挥协调各方、平衡价值的功能,有助于促进利益相关者的共同理解和内部合法性。因此,将协同治理嵌入跨域生态环境问题的解决过程,具有必要性和可能性。为促成跨域生态环境协同治理,需要就理念、法律、组织和制度等路径进行探索。     

社会主义核心价值观与国家治理现代化的价值向度

社会主义核心价值观是创新国家治理体系和治理能力的人文精神内核和价值保证。从农业、工业、国防、科技现代化的"四化"发展到"国家治理现代化"的"新五化"表征我党治国理政理念方式的最新发展成果,推进国家治理体系和治理能力现代化,要大力培育和弘扬社会主义核心价值体系和核心价值观,同时,以社会主义核心价值观为灵魂的"文化软实力"建设是国家治理现代化的重要内容。
