京沪青年女性在民国时期的自杀问题

本文将集中讨论两大问题:其一涉及到法国社会学大师埃米尔·迪尔凯姆的自杀学说。笔者认为,迪尔凯姆的自杀学说在论及性别问题时带有浓厚的男权主义偏见,他的分析偏移了他所大力提倡的社会事实研究法;其二民国时期京沪两地的青年女性自杀格局。根据笔者的分析,京沪女性的自杀问题在当时非常严重,两性自杀死亡率相近;两地不同年龄段的女性的自杀已遂和未遂事件中女青年所占的比例最高;诱因多是家庭矛盾或情感纠纷。本文意在厘清古典社会学自杀理论的局限,也在将中国近现代的自杀问题纳入到社会性别分析框架中探讨。     

Hostility in Homicide–Suicide Events: A Typological Analysis with Data from a Chinese Society, Hong Kong, 1989–2003

As many as one-quarter of uroxicides [Johnson and Hotton (2003) Homicide Studies 7:58–84] and filicides [Wilczynski (1997) Child Homicide, London: Greenwich Medical Media] end in the suicide of the offender. As in homicide- or suicide-only events, homicide–suicide (HS) can arise from a variety of circumstances, ranging from relationship breakdown, to financial and health problems. However, to date our understanding of this disheartening phenomenon remains limited. As an HS event comprises both a homicidal and a suicidal component, the question of whether HS is primarily an extended suicide dominated by weariness or an alternate form of homicide overwhelmed by anger is a contentious topic. This article argues that there are at least two types of HS, with one type being dominated by hostility against the victim, whilst in the other hostility is not apparent. Based on HS events that occurred between 1989 and 2003 in Hong Kong, significant differences are found between these two types of HS in terms of offender and victim characteristics, antecedent, offender–victim relationships, situational factors and modes of killing. This is the first HS typological classification built on the hostility debate that has been validated with empirical data.

What Have We Learned from Columbine

Abstract

This study first examined a model of the predictors and mediators of both suicidal ideation and violent ideation, particularly since both types of ideation were highly correlated (r = .55) among our young adolescent participants. The variables in the model were those identified in media accounts of the histories of the 10 high-profile school shooting cases, and that have also been included in our earlier model of the predictors of suicidal ideation, which we expanded to include violent ideation. Perceptions of competence or adequacy and social support from peers and parents predicted two mediators in the model, an adjustment/depression composite (self-esteem, hope to hopelessness, and affect, along a continuum from cheerful to depressed) and anger-induced physical aggression. These variables, in turn, predicted both suicidal and violent ideation. Secondly, we examined adolescents' reactions to vignettes that described harassing events, at the hands of peers and teachers simulating the type of audience-observed ridicule experienced by the school shooters. We were particularly interested in the emotional reaction of humiliation, an effect that has received surprisingly little attention in the emotion literature. Humiliation was related to other emotions such as anger and depression, consistent with the co-occurrence of internalizing and externalizing symptoms demonstrated in the overall model. Next we compared those who reported that they would respond violently to the events in vignettes compared to those reporting nonviolent reactions. Examining the variables in the general model, those who reported violent ideation reported markedly lower perceptions of adequacy, lower levels of social support, lower self-esteem, greater hopelessness, depressed affect, and anger-induced aggression. The violent ideators also reported higher levels of both homicidal and suicidal ideation. Discussion focused on the fact that thoughts of violence toward others as well as toward the self have similar psychosocial origins that should be considered in prevention and intervention efforts.     

论“网络暴力”致人自杀死亡的刑事责任

随着互联网科技的发展,虚拟空间与现实生活的联系越来越紧密,网络暴力事件层出不穷,出现了不少因不堪忍受凌辱而自杀的案例。我国刑法通常认为自杀死亡结果和网络暴力之间不存在因果关系,自杀死亡结果只是情节严重中的结果,但这并不合理。网络暴力的特质在于对精神的强制以及对身心的持续伤害,网络暴力高于普通的精神伤害行为,在特定的情况下网络暴力能成为杀人罪的实行行为并与自杀死亡结果有因果关系。相应地,刑事责任也应重新评价。

大学生自杀的社会因素分析——以涂尔干的自杀社会因素理论为视角

大学生自杀目前已经成为一个共同关心的社会问题。基于涂尔干的自杀理论,可以从社会转型期的文化繁杂、外来文化因素的影响、长期的应试教育、共同信仰的缺乏等方面分析当代大学生自杀的社会原因。为减少和预防大学生自杀,需要学校、学生自身和社会分别承担起一定的责任。     

权利二重性:解读农民自杀问题的一个视角

权利二重性是理解30年来农民自杀率变迁逻辑及其区域差异现象的重要理论视角。其中,权利启蒙论认为,分田到户以来,市场改变了资源的代际分配结构,农民的权利意识不断被启蒙,农民的行为逻辑逐渐从义务本位向权利本位转变,从而引发了农民家庭权力结构和家庭伦理秩序的适应性调整,使农民自杀现象在社会转型期得以凸显。权利规约论认为,农民的权利表达一旦失去有效的规约机制,就有可能在农村社会形成不利于老年人的自杀秩序;而如果能够得到村庄内部结构性力量的有效规约,农民代际之间的权利与义务关系就会在新的水平上达成均势状态,农民的自杀率随之就会出现明显的下降现象。     

警察被诱协助型自杀问题研究

目前自杀已成为全球问题,自杀干预也已成为近年全球关注的重要课题之一。对于执法人员来说,进行自杀干预,防止自杀行为的发生是处置911报警的任务之一。在实际工作中,警察对这些报警电话确实作出了反应,某些时候也确实成功地进行了干预。但在处置过程中时有发生警察促成型自杀问题,即自杀者有意做出威胁生命的行为迫使警察处置时使用致命力。为此,需要讨论与研究自杀干预措施及警察促成型自杀的一些问题。     

20世纪30年代北方自杀问题研究--以天津《大公报》为中心

20世纪30年代,北方地区自杀问题层出不穷,主要表现在自杀频繁、自杀原因多与经济压迫有关、自杀者的职业分布广、妇女自杀者较多等几方面.<大公报>除了对一系列自杀事件进行深入详细的报道之外,还对引起自杀问题的社会经济根源进行了挖掘,并从现代化建设的角度,对与自杀问题相关的振兴农村问题、妇女问题及教员保健问题进行了探讨,提出了一些有价值的宝贵建议.     

浅议不作为犯处罚的理由——以解释论为视角

社会公众认为一些行为值得处罚,刑法上并没有明确规定,我们对此处罚的理由是什么?不得杀人作为禁忌在原始社会中就已存在,并且与帮助自杀相区别,应当从构成要件上寻找作为与不作为的等值性的理由,在法律规范中寻求不作为的根源,作为义务和等值性的问题,都必须从规范的角度上寻找根据,以限制刑罚权。以此为出发点,对我国交通肇事罪、遗弃罪和见危不救的理论困境提供一些借鉴。
