被害人宽恕与量刑

传统的司法观念将追究犯罪单纯看作国家的职能，因此容易忽视被害人事后宽恕情节对量刑的影响。司法实践中虽然也有将被害人宽恕当作量刑情节的案例，但是却很少有人对此作出详细论述。从量刑的根据、被害人宽恕作为量刑情节的理论支撑和具备的优秀实践价值出发，全面列举了被害人宽恕应该成为一个酌定的量刑情节的理由。     

保护被害人义务的归属

保护被害人的义务具有多重归属，国家、社区、家庭以及公民自身都当共同承担保护被害人的责任。国家应当是对被害人实施保护的第一义务人，社区是对被害人实施保护的直接责任者，公民自身是保护被害人权利义务双重承担者。     

刑事被害人法律援助论纲

现实中刑事被害人在受到侵害后往往因种种原因而使其受损权利得不到恢复,处于孤立无援的境地。应从援助的原则、主体、对象、机构、方式、资金、程序等方面入手科学构建法律制度,充分关注刑事被害人法律援助问题。     

论我国刑法中刑事被害人保护的缺失——兼及检察机关公诉权与刑事被害人保护的利害冲突

刑事被害人在犯罪行为结构中的重要地位表明,刑事被害人在刑事立法和司法中应当得到与其所遭受的犯罪侵害相适应的刑法保护。但是,由于扭曲的犯罪观和群体主义本位价值观的制约,以检察机关的公诉权为代表的公众利益却侵蚀了刑法对刑事被害人的保护。     

Measuring the severity of physical injury among assault and homicide victims

Criminologists seldom have attempted to measure the severity of physical injury to victims of aggravated assault and homicide, even though it is significant to many of their research efforts. Previous attempts have been neither medically accurate nor medically acceptable. In this paper the author discusses the shortcomings of these efforts and introduces an alternative method which is valid, reliable, and medically acceptable. In addition, the author discusses its applicability to research the impact of medical intervention on violent criminal assault, on factors which contribute to the severity of assaultive injury and the lethal outcome of violent assault, on specific questions regarding the patterns of offending and victimization, and on the administration of criminal justice.     

Administering a victim impact curriculum to inmates: a multi-site replication

While restorative justice has been the topic of much research, a specific type of program included in restorative justice, Impact of Crime (IOC) on Victims programs, has not been widely studied or assessed for effectiveness. This study examines IOC on Victims Curriculum Development Programs. Offenders from programs in California, Ohio, Tennessee, and Virginia were participants in this research. A four-state evaluation methodology was developed in order to assess the effectiveness of these programs in educating offenders about victims’ right and victim facts, as well as increasing their sensitivity to victims’ difficulties. The findings in this evaluation lend support to previous studies, indicating efficacy for IOC programs. Suggestions for future research are briefly discussed.     

Complaints of group-stalking (‘gang-stalking’): an exploratory study of their nature and impact on complainants

Stalking primarily concerns the actions of individuals. However, some victims report stalking by organised groups, this being known as ‘group-’ or ‘gang-stalking’. This phenomenon has not been subject to systematic study. An anonymous questionnaire was completed online by self-defined victims of stalking. One thousand and forty respondents met research definitions for stalking, of which 128 (12.3%) reported group-stalking. One hundred and twenty-eight individually stalked cases were randomly selected as a comparison group. All cases of reported group-stalking were found likely to be delusional, compared with 3.9% of individually stalked cases. There were highly significant differences between the two groups on most parameters examined. The group-stalked scored more highly on depressive symptoms, post-traumatic symptomatology and adverse impact on social and occupational functioning. Group-stalking appears to be delusional in basis, but complainants suffer marked psychological and practical sequelae. This is important in assessment of risk in stalking cases, early referral to psychiatric services and allocation of police resources.     

公诉案件被害人当事人制度研究——以德国附带诉讼制度为参考

我国《刑事诉讼法》将被害人确立为公诉案件当事人,被害人与人民检察院作为“共同原告”履行控诉职能,这在理论和实践中都暴露出许多问题。德国附带诉讼制度允许被害人作为附带诉讼的原告人而非公诉案件本身的当事人参加公诉,具有合理性。借鉴德国的做法,我国应增设刑事第三人制度,让被害人作为刑事第三人参加诉讼,并赋予其相应的诉讼权利,从而有效解决被害人在公诉案件中参诉问题。     

日本被害人补偿制度刍议

被害人补偿制度在中国还属于新生事物,而与我国紧邻的日本该制度发展得已相当完善,考察其在该方面的制度建构、理论探讨的社会背景、立法考量以及制度定位,有助于把握其中精要,借鉴日本在这方面的先进经验。     

民事权益受损者行政诉讼原告资格考辨

民事权益受损者本应通过民事诉讼获得救济,一旦其请求行政机关介入查处违法行为或解决民事纠纷时往往会引发行政诉讼原告资格问题.本文采实质诉权说认为,民事权益受损者起诉权的认定应以公法请求权为基础,故需以保护规范理论为工具探寻公法规范中是否包含保护私人利益的指向,而非简单以侵权行为影响论或行政行为影响论判断受害者的行政诉讼原...
