Antecedents and Consequences of Psychiatric Disorders in African-American Adolescents

This study included three waves of data, collected from approximately 890 African-American children and their families. Antecedents and consequences of psychiatric disorders among this population were examined. Children’s temperament, pubertal timing, and experience of stressful life events were tested as antecedents of psychiatric disorders. Several aspects of school functioning were then tested as consequences of psychiatric disorders. In addition, children with a single psychiatric disorder and those with comorbid disorders were statistically compared. Results showed that (1) children with at least one disorder, compared to those with no disorder, exhibited significantly more difficult temperament, experienced puberty earlier, and underwent greater numbers of stressful life events; (2) those with at least one disorder had significantly poorer school outcomes than those with no disorder; (3) children with comorbid disorders, compared with those who had only one disorder, displayed lower educational aspirations and poorer school commitment.

传媒审判与司法裁决——传媒式司法的法律、社会与政治后果

传媒在判决结果确定之前的倾向性报道和评论,受到法律形式主义的广泛批评,泸州"二奶继承案"的判决,不同于法律推理结论以致被认为是媒体审判的结果。法律效果、社会影响和政治后果是中国司法需要考量的三个要素,判决的社会影响和政治后果具有比法律效果更高的权重,因此在三者存在冲突的情况下,传媒式司法应当舍弃法律推理的结论,作出偏重于社会影响和政治后果的判决。媒体审判的功能在于提供判决的参考意见,而法院则需要在考量此种意见的法律、社会和政治后果的基础上作出裁决。     

论我国刑法中的严格责任

大陆法系国家不承认严格责任,英美法系国家对其的态度也并非完全一致,我国刑法学界由于对严格责任的含义及性质在理解上存在较大分歧,故而在如何评价以及是否借鉴国外严格责任的理论和实践方面意见不一。笔者认为,严格责任并不是罪过责任的对立物,其本质在于免除起诉方证明被告人主观过错的举证责任。我国刑法中不但具有严格责任存在的合理性,也有严格责任的实际存在。     

基于当量死亡人数的群死群伤交通事故的特点分析及治理

以一次发生10人死亡以上特大道路交通事故为研究对象,以事故当量死亡人数为基础,拟合了2004-2010年事故的数学模型,指出其发展变化与总体形势高度正相关。2007-2010年间,3月与8月、16日与7日、昼间12小时,西南地区、二级公路与高速公路、平直路段,营运公司、客运车辆、2年以下及10-12年驾龄的驾驶人,发生或引发的事故损害后果更为严重。2009-2010年,因超速和超载等14种直接原因而发生,其深层次的间接原因中以运输企业安全责任制不到位更为突出。明确了科学合理地制定防治规划、强化路面执法管理、完善道路及交通安全设施、落实交通安全责任倒查制等治理措施的具体要求。     

论行政契约中行政主体之给付不能

在具体行政契约制度中,行政主体的给付不能之类型不应完全仿民法之立法例,而应根据行政主体之特殊性,结合依法行政原则,将其给付不能区分为法律不能与事实不能两大类型。就法律后果而言,因行政主体在行政契约中的优越地位,故应使其负担更多的契约风险,以平衡行政契约双方当事人的利益。     

论刑法中的危险概念

刑法中的危险概念有多重含义。在我国,刑法中的危险应当是一种行为的危险,而不是行为人的危险。这种行为的危险是指作为行为属性的危险,是结合了主观危险与客观危险的概念。我国刑法中的未遂犯不是危险犯,未遂犯中的危险不是结果发生的现实可能性,而是法秩序对该行为所作的一种规范性评价。行为人的行为只要符合构成要件,那么就具有一般意义上的抽象危险性。     

Revisiting country of origin principle: Challenges related to regulating e-commerce in the European Union

The article analyses the country of origin principle of information society services in the light of harmonisation and unification efforts undertaken by the European lawgiver. Although the country of origin principle remains the key element of the construction of freedom to provide information society services, the principle itself suffers a number of both explicit and implicit restrictions which render its practical application a serious challenge. The difficulty is posed by the fact that the Electronic Commerce Directive fails to expressly specify both the scope of harmonisation as regards the principle, and the level of harmonisation of the directive itself. Furthermore, it is understood differently by private international lawyers. In the eDate Advertising case the ECJ ruled that the principle is not a conflict-of-laws rule, neither does it require implementation to the national legal systems in this shape. This is not to mean, however, that the debate over the function of the country of origin principle in private international law is over. Last but not least, there are many different types of country of origin principles applicable to various types of services provided via the Internet. This multitude of country of origin principles is perhaps the greatest weakness the regulatory approach adopted by the European lawmaker.     

也谈正确认识和认定刑法上的因果关系

认识刑法中的因果关系,应当先从行为的客观性质着手确定行为与结果有无因果关系,然后再结合行为人的主观罪过确定其行为是否属危害行为,进而确定其刑事责任的轻重;刑法中的因果关系是危害行为与危害结果之间的一种内在的、本质的联系,危害行为（即原因）的产生带有偶然性,刑法上因果关系本身是必然性和偶然性的辩证统一;应当正确区分因果关系中的原因与条件;不能把刑法上的因果关系与构成犯罪和承担刑事责任等同起来。
