毒品案件中口供等言词证据的收集及运用

毒品案件审理过程中各类言词证据的收集,既要反对“口供是证据之王”的观点,更不能片面地理解“零口供”,只有全面的掌握案件事实,运用辩证的逻辑推理,才能使言词证据成为认定毒品案件的可靠手段。即:做好毒品犯罪嫌疑人供述和辩解(口供)的讯问笔录;全面收集证人证言;对查获的毒品交专门机构做出定性鉴定结论;言词证据应由实物证据来检验;严禁刑讯逼供和其他非法方式收集言词证据。     

关于刑事错案纠正过程中相关程序问题的思考

程序公正是实现实体公正的前提,用不当程序纠正错案,不但会影响到错案的纠正,而且会再一次损害司法机关的威信和法律的尊严,甚至会出现出新的错案。纠正错案,必须遵循刑事诉讼的基本制度,严格遵守法定程序。     

论冤案的救济机制

在纠正冤案的意义十分重大。冤案纠正后的受益者首先是国家和社会，其次才是无辜者及其家属。国家应承担纠正冤案的首要责任。我们应当思考、呼吁、推动和营造一个有助于使冤案得以昭雪的制度空间。这种制度空间强调的是，以个人权利尤其是犯罪嫌疑人、被告人的权利为根本，靠制度本身的力量来纠正冤案，公开更多的冤案文本，鼓励学者们对其成因和预防等问题的研究，保护新闻媒体对冤案曝光和跟踪监督的权利。因此，需要建立冤案的救济途径，给冤案的平反昭雪以制度上的保障。在西方国家，要纠正错案总是存在很大的阻力，但是，总的说来，法治国家的伸冤机制明显优于中国。现有被告人上诉、申诉、检察院抗诉、法院主动提起再审昭雪冤案的方式之外，应当适时建立适合我国国情，能够主动发现冤案的纠错机制。

The Tennessee Slave Code

Abstract

Numerous studies have found evidence of racial discrimination in the imposition of the death penalty, particularly in the South. In this article, the authors posit that the legal antecedents of modern discrimination in capital cases are found in the codified rules that governed slavery. Using the capital punishment provisions of the 1858 Slave Code of Tennessee, the biases inherent in the laws of the Old South are documented. The discriminatory practices that blacks faced both as victims and offenders under the slave codes are linked through historical analysis and conflict theory to the current discriminatory practices documented by modern death penalty research.     

Lost in space? the role of place in the delivery of social welfare law advice over the telephone and face-to-face

ABSTRACT

Advice that is provided exclusively over the telephone has been promoted by government as more convenient and accessible than face-to-face appointments. The resulting push towards telephone-only provision, as implemented by the Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Act 2012, challenges the long history of association between social welfare law advice and local delivery within disadvantaged communities. This article reports on qualitative research comparing telephone and face-to-face advice which uncovers the continuing relevance of place in the dynamics and mechanics of social welfare law provision. Familiarity with the geographical location, knowledge of local policies and procedures, relationships with opponents and allies, and an understanding of the ‘local legal culture’ mean that face-to-face advisers are often able to conduct their legal casework more effectively. Conversely, local knowledge is unlikely to be available to Community Legal Advice telephone advisers. This research suggests that, in addition, telephone-only advisers may be developing a more narrow understanding of the essential qualities of casework. These findings are particularly significant in view of the likely future expansion of remote methods of delivery in legal aid work.     

转型时期刑事涉案财物扣押冻结问题研究

针对转型时期经济发展中出现的新型刑事案件和复杂的侦查工作局面,公安机关如何正确理解、适用法律,把握法律、政策界限,做到合法、合理地扣押冻结及妥善处理刑事涉案财物,是公安机关当前需要研究的课题。     

行政机关执法主体不移交刑事案件的检察监督

行政机关执法主体不移交刑事案件的行政行为正处在人民检察院一般监督范围内,构建检察院监督行政执法主体不移交刑事案件的监督机制刻不容缓,其中,完善相关立法,建立行政执法与刑事司法相衔接的工作机制,调和行政机关自由裁量权与人民检察院法律监督权的矛盾是完善检察监督机制的有效保障。     

反致制度之存废

价值是制度设计的原因,也是制度设计的归宿。一种制度的存废关键在于其价值的有无。自反致制度产生以来,关于其存废之争论就一直没有停息过。通过对反致制度的价值分析可以看出,随着国际私法的发展,反致制度必将退出历史舞台。
