Victims and property victimization in Israel

Property victimization has increased in recent years in Israel. Apartment burglary and car theft have become a major component in the Israeli public's concern about crime. This paper explores the hypothesis that characteristics of the crime target are central to understanding property victimization. The hypothesis is tested with data from the Third National Israeli Victimization Survey. For apartment burglary, it was found that the larger the number of rooms in the apartment, the higher the risk of victimization. For car theft, it was found that newer cars were more likely to be stolen than older cars. The results shed light on the prominence of property characteristics in the offender's decision-making process and target selection. Data for this study were made available through the Social Sciences Data Archive, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem.     

Crime patterns and their relation to subjective social stress and support indicators: The role of gender

This study investigated the relationship between the subjective perception of stress and support in the population (as independent variables) and the prevalence of homicide, robbery, and property offenses in society, while controlling for the effect of gender, i.e., how these crimes are related to the differential perception of stress and support among males and females. The theoretical framework is provided by a stress-support model which postulates that crime in society will be positively related to stress factors and negatively related to support systems. Eight stress indicators and four support (solidarity) indicators were included. The data regarding these indicators were derived from continuing surveys of representative samples of the urban population in Israel during the years 1967–1979. The theoretical model was supported by the findings, especially those relating to property offenses. The effects of the female indicators were strongest (and greater than those of males) with regard to property offenses. The regression coefficients of the female indicators were also consistently larger than those of males, indicating that women's perceptions of stress are better predictors of crime rates than those of males. The results are compared to those of previous studies and suggestions are made for future studies in this new line of criminological research.

文化引领城市公共空间治理研究北大核心SSCI

当今世界文化传播呈现多元化特征。在多元文化的冲击下,保持一个城市公共空间的自有文化,在城市治理体系中充分发挥文化治理的作用,将文化的思维贯穿于公共空间治理政策的方方面面,用文化促进城市发展转型中经济、生态、科学技术、人文历史等多方面资源的整合,在城市公共空间的文化治理中形成“区域—城市—城区—社区”四个层面之间的整体与局部的协调,最终通过治理的顶层设计,对城市自身文化的挖掘、引导、运用和创新,促进城市完善自身核心定位,从而打造具有竞争力的城市形象,优化城市居住环境,提升市民归属感和幸福感,是文化引领我国城市公共空间治理的有效路径。     

新时代我国基层政权建设的实践难题及路径选择

基层政权作为国家政权极为重要的组成部分,在整个国家政权体系中发挥着基础性作用,是党和政府联系群众的桥梁和纽带,是国家各项工作的重要落脚点。当前,我国基层政权建设存在的实践难题主要表现在四个层面:基层政权的财权与事权不对等、基层政权公共性与自利性的冲突、基层政权与群众自治组织关系有待理顺、基层政权与人民群众关系发生变化。而要科学解决基层政权建设中存在的这些问题,就需要在坚持党的领导下,理顺基层政权的财权与事权关系,重构基层政权的公共性,构建多元化的基层社会治理格局,构建新型和谐政民关系。     

“一带一路”建设的七年回顾与思考

"一带一路"倡议是中国特色社会主义进入新时代对外开放的重大抉择,旨在形成陆海内外联动、东西双向互济的开放格局,推进中华民族从站起来、富起来到强起来的伟大复兴进程,成为构建人类命运共同体的实践平台。七年来,"一带一路"建设已经完成顶层设计的"大写意",正在绘制聚焦重点和项目建设的"工笔画",在政策沟通、设施联通、贸易畅通、资金融通、民心相通等"五通"方面成就卓著,并形成一系列合作理念和机制规范,推动沿线国家优势互补,联动发展。"一带一路"建设作为一项涵盖经济贸易、政治外交、人文交流等诸多领域的系统工程,在中国特色大国外交保驾护航下,构建国内国际双循环相互促进的新发展格局,打造健康丝绸之路以推进全球公共卫生平台建设,并展现出美好前景。     

发展—安全互动中的全球基础设施议题

作为一种兼具公共产品与战略工具双重功能的议题,全球基础设施具有明确的发展与安全含义,因此,该议题在国际政治中呈现出嵌入"发展—安全联结"的基本态势。当前,在大国战略竞争结构之下,全球基础设施建设与国际社会"发展—安全联结"都具备议题拓展的政治动力,两者互动推动着安全与发展两大议题领域在不同层次上展开更为复杂化的聚合,扩展了当前"发展—安全联结"在国际政治中的适用范围,也强化了基础设施对安全与发展的依赖程度。基础设施与"发展—安全联结"互动呈现出螺旋圈层的架构,即主要通过议题维度的立体配置逻辑、制度方面的双重建构逻辑和演变方面的系统嵌合逻辑等方式,更紧密地与"发展—安全联结"发生互动关联。一个"发展—基建—安全联结"正在浮现。全新的联结也在重新塑造安全与发展两大议题,并在议题设定、行为逻辑、国际制度、全球治理和运作环境方面影响着当前的国际秩序。这种正在出现的"发展—基建—安全联结"可能对中国推进"一带一路"基建具有重要启示意义。
