论我国刑事简易程序的效益与公正机制

效益与公正是刑事简易程序的两大价值目标 ,两者有一致性 ,也有冲突性。协调效益与公正的关系 ,应从刑事简易程序的设置初衷和本质入手 ,寻找两者的最佳平衡点 --效益优先 ,兼顾公正。为完善我国刑事简易程序的效益、公正机制 ,应扩大刑事简易程序的适用范围 ,并设置多样化的简易程序 ,同时在立法中规定最低公正标准 ,使刑事简易程序最低公正价值得以实现。     

论加强消费者权益的倾斜保护

《中华人民共和国消费者权益保护法》（以下简称《消法》）自颁布以采,其运行的社会经济环境已经发生了巨大的变化,消费者弱势地位更加明显,维权难度日益增加。《消法》需要在倾斜保护的立法理念基础上进一步加强对消费者合法权益的保障,通过增加消费者的权利和完善鉴定机构等途径提高消费者维权能力。     

中国传统利益理论及其现代价值

中国传统利益理论主要是围绕“义利之辨”展开的,通过对先秦时期、两汉时期、宋明时期及明清时期各个代表人物对义利观的探讨,可以得知,对利益的阐述始终离不开伦理道德,对利益的追求始终与“义’’紧紧联系在一起。占主导地位的是强调追求利益必须符合“义”。     

刑事附带民事诉讼的实践困惑与制度完善

刑事附带民事诉讼在制度价值上值得推崇,诉讼经济、程序便捷、审判集中的优越性是独立的刑事诉讼和民事诉讼所难以比拟的,但现行立法规定过于简单笼统,造成司法实践中遭遇困惑,形成立法理念与执法现实之间的差距。通过对刑事附带民事诉讼模式的比较研究,发现刑事附带民事诉讼的存在有其合理性与必然性,对于该制度存在的一些问题可以通过改进与完善途径加以解决。

行帮对早期工人运动的影响

行帮是中国历史上曾普遍存在的一种社会团体组织。在早期工人运动中行帮是工人运动的主要组织者,是早期工人组织的主要参照模式;同时,由于行帮狭隘的利益,又影响了工人阶级的内部团结,为早期工人运动带来了诸多负面影响。行帮抵御了近代中国资本主义发展的冲击,表现出较强生命力。行帮既是中国社会进入危机阶段的伴生物,也是中国独特的近代工业发展进程和近代工人阶级队伍形成样式的社会后果,旧式行帮的延续也同时反映了中国特有的同乡文化的影响。     

Why University Education Matters: Youth Work and the Australian Experience

In many countries youth work education in the university confronts a precarious future. Paradoxically, this takes place as the labor market is unable to meet demands for qualified practitioners. This article makes a case for further investment in university-based youth work education. While presenting labor demand and supply arguments, we also suggest that a good university education is important for producing graduates capable of becoming experts and good practitioners in the Aristotelian sense of the word. This entails the provision of learning opportunities to attain specialist knowledge, technical expertise and ethical capacities of the kind that distinguish youth work practice from other approaches to work with young people. Such an education also promotes the prospect that practitioners are able to develop a professional habitus that advances youth work as a discrete field of professional practice. While the material used in this article is Australian, we suggest there are sufficient commonalities between the Australian experience and many other countries for the arguments, findings and recommendations made here to have more general applicability.     

依法治会是工会在政治文明建设中发挥作用的重要手段

依法治会是党的依法治国方略对工会工作提出的必然要求,是工会参与协调劳动关系、履行维护基本职责和规范自身行为的需要,是工会在政治文明建设中发挥作用的重要手段。政治文明的本质是制度文明,因而必须抓好依法治会的各项制度建设。同时,还要加强工会组织自身的民主化、制度化和群众化建设,要加强职工队伍的民主法制及权利意识教育,为工会政治文明建设提供人力资源和智力支持。     

Reciprocal relationships between symptoms of depression and parental support during the transition from adolescence to young adulthood

This study applies latent growth curve analysis to data from three waves of the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (n = 10,828) and finds that symptoms of depression and social support interact with one another in a dynamic fashion across the transition from adolescence (mean age at Wave 1 = 15.28 years) to young adulthood (mean age at Wave 3 = 21.65 years). Parental support during adolescence is inversely associated with initial symptoms of depression for girls and boys, although adolescent girls with low levels of parental support begin the study period with significantly higher levels of depressive symptomatology than their male counterparts. In addition, adolescents who begin the study period with higher levels of depressive symptomatology report less parental support during young adulthood. Finally, regardless of their initial level of depressive symptoms, girls and boys who experience increased symptoms of depression over time also report lower levels of parental support at the end of the study period.

Gender,Culture and the Law: Approaches to ‘Honour Crimes’ in the UK

This article examines the debate on whether to analyse ‘honour crimes’ as gender-based violence, or as cultural tradition, and the effects of either stance on protection from and prevention of these crimes. In particular, the article argues that the categorisation of honour-related violence as primarily cultural ignores its position within the wider spectrum of gender violence, and may result in a number of unfortunate side-effects, including lesser protection of the rights of women within minority communities, and the stigmatisation of those communities. At the same time it is problematic to completely dismiss any cultural aspects of violence against women, and a nuanced approach is required which carefully balances the benefits and detriments of taking cultural factors into account. The article examines the issues within the context of the legal response to cases involving honour-related violence, arguing that although the judiciary has in a number of cases inclined towards viewing ‘honour’ as primarily cultural rather than patriarchal, in some cases they have begun to take a more gender-based or ‘mature multiculturalism’ approach.
