Essential medicolegal death investigation services: standardization of a survey instrument based on the Essential Public Health Services

The National Academy of Sciences recommends that states assess the performance of medicolegal death investigation agencies. To aid in performance assessment, we adapted an instrument based on the CDC's 10 Essential Public Health Services by translating the terminology to that of essential medicolegal death investigation services. This produced a survey that could be used to standardize reporting practices and services of agencies. To validate the instrument, a stratified random sample of 12 death investigation chiefs in 12 states was interviewed. This sample represented both medical examiner and coroner jurisdictions within the varying medicolegal structures. A cognitive testing process elicited how well participants could respond to and interpret the survey questions. The response was favorable in that the respondents agreed that given specific revisions toward question clarification, the instrument would be a useful and relevant tool for assessing system performance.     

实践是检验中国共产党的唯一标准——奠定今日中国的三次重大历史转折

中国共产党1921年成立,走上政治舞台,走到舞台中央,并长期担任主角、领衔主演,不是偶然的。实践是检验真理的唯一标准,也是检验政党的唯一标准。中国共产党90年光辉实践雄辩地证明：只有中国共产党才能领导人民救中国、发展中国、可持续发展中国,实现中华民族伟大复兴。成功实现奠定今日中国的三次重大历史转折,就是中国共产党90年光辉实践的代表作。     

GENERATIVE EXPLANATIONS OF CRIME: USING SIMULATION TO TEST CRIMINOLOGICAL THEORY*

This study demonstrates that computational modeling and, in particular, agent‐based modeling (ABM) offers a viable compatriot to traditional experimental methodologies for criminology scholars. ABM can be used as a means to operationalize and test hypothetical mechanisms that offer a potential explanation for commonly observed criminological phenomena. This study tests whether the hypothesized mechanisms of environmental criminology are sufficient to produce several commonly observed characteristics of crime. We present an ABM of residential burglary, simulating a world inhabited by potential targets and offenders who behave according to the theoretical propositions of environmental criminology. A series of simulated experiments examining the impact of these mechanisms on patterns of offending are performed. The outputs of these simulations then are compared with several well‐established findings derived from empirical studies of residential burglary, including the spatial concentration of crime, repeat victimization, and the journey to crime curve. The results from this research demonstrate that the propositions of the routine activity approach, rational choice perspective, and crime pattern theory provide a viable generative explanation for several independent characteristics of crime.     

A study on the depression levels of children who are brought to the forensic DNA laboratory for paternity testing

This study aims to identify the depression levels of children who were brought to the forensic DNA laboratory for paternity testing. A total of 35 such children were enrolled in the study. Data were gathered using the parent interview form, general information form for children, and the "Child Depression Scale" as it had been tested for validity and reliability in the 6-17 year age group in the country. Data were analyzed using one-way analysis of variance and Scheffe test. The results showed that the age of children who were brought in for paternity testing created a meaningful difference in their depression scores (p < 0.01) while gender did not. In addition, c. 63% of the children in this study did not know why they were in the laboratory, which also caused a meaningful difference in depression scores (p < 0.01).     

心理测试技术的误差分析

心理测试技术测试误差主要来自被测对象、题目编制、测试实施过程等三个相对独立的方面,且随机误差和系统误差的权重也不同。对被测对象的个别化、动态化处理,科学的编题,适当的测前访谈,动态、整体、多因素参考的评图等能有效提高测试准确性。     

高职高专院校英语专业课程设置的若干问题探讨

课程设置是实现教学目标的重要手段，高职高专院校英语专业的培养目标要具备自己的特色，应着力于培养“应用型专业人才”。构建合理的三级教学与实践平台是科学设置课程的一个重要理念。随着课程设置与教学改革的深入，考试系统也应该引进新的理念。     

对Cofiler体系在亲子鉴定中应用价值的研究

将商品化 Profiler Plus和 Cofiler扩增检测试剂盒用于亲子鉴定案例和无关个体血样的分析。 186例亲子鉴定案中,母－子－假设父三联体 149例,假设父－子二联体 37例。在 149例含双亲和孩子的鉴定中,有 127例认定存在亲生血缘关系,其 RCP值平均为 99.98％;其余 22例排除了被检父为孩子生父,排除机率为 14.77％,排除指标平均为 6.1个。在 37例含单亲及孩子的鉴定中,有 23例认定存在亲生血缘关系,其 RCP值平均为 99.92％;其余 14例排除被检父为孩子生父,排除机率为 37.84％,平均有 5个不吻合的 STR位点出现。若特意省去三人组合案例中的母亲,将其作为单亲案件进行统计,仅检测 Profiler Plus体系的 9个 STR位点时,则 RCP值平均为 99.1959％,案例中 21.51％将不能得出明确的结论。同时检测 Profiler Plus和 Cofiler体系共 13个 STR位点,则案例中 97.31％能排除或认定生父,案例中 2.69％通过补充母亲样本能排除或认定生父。 Cofiler体系中 6个 STR位点的累积排除率达 0.9825。上述数据表明, Cofiler试剂盒在单亲鉴定案件中有着重要的应用价值。     

心理测试技术与测谎

心理测试测试技木是一项新兴的刑事检验技术,而“测谎”则更多地出现在媒体上,为大众所广泛接受。“测谎”理论无法解释被测者在沉默状态下产生的情绪反应,而且容易引起被测者的反感,而心理测试技术理论,含盖了心理学中多方面的研究成果,已经从对谎言本身的探查中解脱出来。     

戒毒管理改革与其成效的检验标准--对湖南12个强制、劳教戒毒与派出所、居委会的调查与思考

戒毒复吸率之高,一直是戒毒工作的顽症,如何加以攻克?本文运用社会学的再社会化理论,从分析湖南戒毒管理模式入手,阐述了戒毒管理是实现戒毒者由强制再社会化向主动再社会化转变的一种催化剂,提出了“提高巩固率,延长巩固时间“这一目前检验戒毒管理成效的核心评价标准,以及实现戒毒管理目标所存在的问题及其应对策略.
