新司法解释下寻衅滋事罪“口袋”的扩张与坚守

在当前刑法体制中,兜底性罪名是刑法废止类推原则到确立罪刑法定原则过程中的产物。作为一个具有口袋性质的罪名,寻衅滋事罪有其存在的必要性。刑事立法上,具有罪名与犯罪构成的法定性;刑事司法上,具有构成要件要素解释的必要性。信息网络空间既有"工具属性",也有"公共属性",新司法解释对"公共场所及其秩序"的解释是有权解释,使该罪名的构成要件要素更加清晰,其口袋并未突破。     

刑事政策在刑法解释中的作用空间——兼论刑法解释中的价值判断和事实判断

在刑事政策纳入刑法教义学和相对罪刑法定原则的前提下,刑事政策对于刑法解释起到相当的作用.刑法规范构成要件的解释,应当区分规范的构成要件要素和记述的构成要件要素.对于规范的构成要件要素而言,刑事政策可以发挥其在刑法解释中价值判断的作用.但是对于记述的构成要件要素,在刑法解释中应当排斥价值判断,对其解释的性质只能是某种事实的追认,即事实判断.在刑法解释过程中,一旦价值判断和事实判断出现错位,类推解释则会出现,进而违背罪刑法定原则.     

Blast Injury and the Human Skeleton: An Important Emerging Aspect of Conflict‐Related Trauma

Recent decades have seen an accelerating trend in warfare whereby a growing proportion of conflict‐related deaths have been caused by explosions. Analysis of blast injury features little in anthropological literature. We present a review of clinical literature that includes prevalence of injury to anatomical regions and potential indicators of blast injury which can be used by forensic anthropologists. This includes high prevalence of extremity (22.8–91.2%) and facial (19.6–40%) injury in combat contexts, lower limb fractures (19–74.3%) in suicide bombing, traumatic amputation (3–43%) and diffuse fracture patterns in terrorist bombings. Potential indicators of blast trauma include blowout fractures in sinus cavities from blast overpressure, transverse mandibular fractures, and visceral surface rib fractures. Ability to recognize blast trauma and distinguish it in the skeleton is of importance in investigations and judicial proceedings relating to war crimes, terrorism, and human rights violations and likely to become increasingly crucial to forensic anthropology knowledge.     

论全国人大常务委员会法律统一解释体制构建

1982年《宪法》明确赋予了全国人大常务委员会法律解释权、法律修改权与非基本法律制定权.2000年《立法法》进一步明确了全国人大常务委员会法律解释程序.从2000年开始全国人大常务委员会充分地行使了法律解释权,针对《刑法》共颁布了九个立法解释,由此也引发了刑法立法解释与刑法司法解释如何区分,是否有独立存在意义的争议.通过对刑法立法解释的实证分析,我们可以发现全国人大常务委会法律解释体制的特征不在于其解释方法的特殊性,而是其特殊的法律统一解释功能.在社会主义法律体系逐步完备之后,如何保障法律体系内部的协调,将成为越来越重要的任务.全国人大常务委会法律解释体制应承担此重要的功能,这既是1982年《宪法》所赋予的权力,也是构建宪政国家不可或缺的环节.应基于这种法律统一解释功能来构建全国人大常务委员会的法律解释程序.     

能动抑或谦抑：行政法规范解释的司法审查限度-以最高人民法院公报中案例为范本

法院审查行政法规范解释的介入限度应当是既能动,又不失谦抑。应从整体上赋予法院法律解释权,确立法院在法律解释问题上的权威。在审查行政法规范解释时,应首先确定法律、行政法规和规章本身对解释是否有明确规定,并考察是否存在充分授权,对解释进行合法性审查。其次区分解释的形式,从合理性等因素展开审查。     

对我国相邻关系法的历史解读

我国相邻关系法既植根于深厚的历史传统,又具有鲜明的时代特色。历史上,出于社会控制的目的设有邻里制度,相邻不动产利用的调节大多依托民间习惯。近代以来,部分民间习惯被纳入"民法",成为处理相邻关系的直接依据。面对复杂的现代不动产利用关系,《物权法》一方面规定了主要的相邻关系类型,另一方面通过引致规范扩张了相邻关系的法源。处理相邻关系的基本原则为协调不同法源的冲突奠定了基础。     

The Public Eye and the Citizen-Voyeur: Photography as a Performance of Power

This paper argues that photography is best grasped not as a medium of visual communication, but as a manifest performance of the power to make visible. As such, photographic practices are central to the experience and demarcation of private/public boundaries in advanced media cultures. In the private domain, photography is both a ritualized domestic activity and provides conventional and definitive representations of the domestic. These functions are ostensibly opposed to photography's role in the public realm: the same visual technology becomes, in the mass media, both the index and agent of publicness itself, with the paparazzi?especially in the aftermath of Princess Diana's death?symbolizing the violation of the private. The paper explores the ways in which photographic performance at the public/private boundary dramatizes power relations through forms of social transparency, voyeurism and memoralization. It also asks whether momentary crises in the dominant scopic regime can provide the basis for alternative ‘uncanny’ visual practices that are tenable and empowering.     

Local political leaders and context awareness: identifying perceptions of autonomy and efficacy

Leadership theories fail to explain how leaders acquire and interpret context. This article claims that political leadership styles articulate a choice of action that results from the leader's discerned possibilities to act. In order to explore these interpreted contextual determinants of leadership styles and the degree to which “possibility” has an influence over them, our research used a multiple case study design, with extensive interviews. Focusing on context awareness as a way of unveiling style determinants, I claim that it will produce different effects on leadership styles as a consequence of the leader's sense of autonomy and of political efficacy.     

三网融合与中国刑法的应对

技术发展从来就是一把双刃剑,三网融合技术在给我们生活带来翻天覆地变革的同时,也给传统刑法理论带来巨大的冲击。新的犯罪类型的出现,犯罪行为方式在网络空间中的转变,使得传统刑法在应对方面显得捉襟见肘。修改刑法确实可以短期内解决问题,但是长远来看扩张揭示更是一种可取的思路。     

刑事诉讼法法律解释:在困境中前进

修改后的刑事诉讼法和相关机关制定的刑事诉讼法法律解释都已于2013年1月1日生效。刑事诉讼法法律解释在指引相关机关进行刑事诉讼活动时起着举足轻重的作用。然而,理论界对刑事诉讼法法律解释的研究严重滞后和缺失。因此,加强刑事诉讼法法律解释的研究,从立法主义转向解释主义显得尤为迫切和必要。梳理刑事诉讼法法律解释的原因、功能等基本问题,认清刑事诉讼法法律解释的困境与出路是研究刑事诉讼法法律解释不可回避的问题。
