行政垄断及其规制研究

充分而公正的市场竞争机制是市场经济健康发展的关键。行政垄断凭借行政权力分割市场,阻碍了全国统一、有序的竞争体系的形成,损害了竞争者和消费者的利益。鉴于行政垄断带来的极大危害,我们必须深刻认识并采取综合性的制度性策略,具体可通过完善市场运行法律以营造和谐竞争环境,完善现行《反垄断法》规定,进一步规范政府行为,并通过加强社会监督等方式来进行全面规制。     

Evidence and Actions on Mortgage Market Disparities: Research,Fair Lending Enforcement,and Consumer Protection

ABSTRACT

In this article, we present an overview of the research on discrimination in mortgage underwriting and pricing, the experiences of minority borrowers both prior to and during the financial crisis, and federal efforts to mitigate foreclosures during the crisis. We next discuss the history of legal cases alleging disparate treatment of minority borrowers, and recent cases alleging disparate impact in the wake of the Supreme Court’s Inclusive Communities decision. Using these discussions as a background, we examine and discuss mortgage regulations issued by the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau following the financial crisis, describe recent developments in the FinTech industry and explore the implications for fair lending policy and minority borrowers more generally. Finally, we draw conclusions and make recommendations for improving the mortgage market outcomes of minority borrowers and increasing minority borrowers’ access to credit.     

论“君子协定”下的婚内强奸——从婚姻本质说起

一般情况下丈夫与妻子发生性关系并不构成强奸罪.但在有正当理由下妻子可以拒绝丈夫的请求权,若丈夫使用暴力、胁迫或其他手段强行与妻子发生性行为应视情况以虐待罪、侮辱罪或故意伤害罪处罚.若夫妻处于诉请离婚阶段时,夫妻之间的婚姻契约因向法院起诉而宣告有随时解约的可能性,此时丈夫强行与妻子发生性关系属违背妇女意志,应视为强奸罪,但应转为告诉罪以区别一般的强奸罪.

The Law and Incapacity Determinations: A Conflict of Governance?

This article will consider the highly charged questions raised by two major sets of law reforms in England and Wales, the Mental Capacity Act 2005 and the Mental Health Act 2007, which, although applying to closely related clinical populations, proceeded along entirely separate legislative paths. By justifying its proposals for reform of mental health legislation on the grounds of 'risk', the Government failed to take into account the implications of enforced treatment on patients who may retain decision-making capacity.     

不法是客观的,责任是主观的?——对当下归属理论的一种质疑

“不法是客观的,责任是主观的”之主张既无法合理应对“中立”帮助行为的可罚性问题以及行为人主观上存在特别认知的侵害情形,也不契合处罚不能犯未遂的司法现状。“先客观后主观”的审查顺序在自然科学上的合理基础不复存在,权利保障理念与不法的客观性间也不存在必然关联。客观优先的审查顺位的优势主要体现在程序法而非实体法。主客观二分法并不现实:“目的性动词”使主客观要素无法完全割裂,主观要素缺位可能无法评价不法的有无,主观要素还能够影响到具体的不法类型判断以及行为危险的程度。主观故意和行为人的特别认知在不法判断中的地位已然无法撼动,至少在故意的作为犯中,客观归属论已名实难副。主客观二分式的犯罪构成模式并不符合事物的本来面目,两者也不存在绝对的先后次序,主客观相结合的不法判断才更加贴合实际。因此,应当重新审视责任要素的范畴,故意、目的等要素实际上应归入构成要件的领域。否定客观不法论,“不法与责任的区分”才得以真正确立。     

我国非常夫妻财产制之建构

夫妻财产问题愈渐在亲属法领域受到瞩目,因它兼具身份法与财产法之双重属性之特点,既引发研究者对亲属法基本理论的思考,又引发其对婚姻家庭制度的审视。基于完善我国夫妻财产制之目的,本文立足于《婚姻法司法解释三》1第4条之规定,既肯定其立法意义,又指出该条的立法不足,同时借鉴域外立法的科学合理性,在必要性与可行性基础上对我国非常夫妻财产制度做了简要建构。     

社区矫正执行的若干问题研究——以刑法修正案（八）为视角

刑法修正案（八）将社区矫正正式写入其中,这是我国在刑罚轻缓化发展方向上迈出的重要一步。但是,修正后的刑法在社区矫正执行的范围、内容及主体等具体方面,仍存在亟须完善之处。对这些问题的正确理解及合理解决,将有助于推进社区矫正的司法实践。另外,我国应根据社区矫正工作的现实情况和发展需要,适时地制定《社区矫正法》,以推进行刑社会化的全面发展。     

行政登记的再思考

行政登记是行政机关经相对人中请或按照授予的职权。依法对需要登记的事项进行审查和判断，并将这些事实和情况记载在登记簿上的行为。根据行政法律行为理论，行政登记是行政法律行为和行政事实行为的结合。它分为产生审批赋权效果的许可性登记、产生私域认可效果的确认性登记和产生信息保存效果的事实性登记三种。     

“Those Are Our People and That's Our Family”: Wabanaki Perspectives on Child Welfare Practice in Their Communities

In collaboration with the Maine Wabanaki-State Child Welfare Truth and Reconciliation Commission Convening Group, this study explored perspectives of Wabanaki community members and tribal child welfare staff on state child welfare involvement in Wabanaki communities. Qualitative analysis of three focus groups found that participants perceived fundamental differences between what guides the work of tribal child welfare staff and state child welfare staff, as well as differences in understanding the profound impact of removing a child from the community. These findings are suggested to be elements of a Wabanaki counter-narrative that contrasts with the historical dominant narrative about Native families and children.
