Treatment Fidelity in Sex Offender Programming: Assessing Delivery across Community Providers

In an effort to focus on treatment fidelity in the sex offender field, this study evaluated the treatment delivery of ten clinicians who provided treatment to sex offenders under community supervision. Data collection and analysis involved a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods. Results revealed that treatment providers varied in their use of empirically-supported treatment techniques, their participation in the community containment approach, and their adherence to the treatment contract. These findings provide support for the continued study of treatment fidelity in the corrections literature. Implications and future directions are discussed.     

传统知识的知识产权保护正当性研究——以社区为新权利主体

传统知识是整个人类的宝贵财富。传统知识的基本特征使其难以获得现代知识产权制度的保护。在权利客体上,基于传统知识的基本特征,对知识产权客体进行发展、扩充,承认传统知识为知识产权保护的特殊客体;在权利主体的界定上,根据传统知识其本身的主体群体性、社区传统根本性特点,结合社区发展权理论,明确以社区作为传统知识在知识产权上的权利主体。对传统知识进行知识产权上的保护具有正当性,是法律公平原则的体现,是尊重人格权的需要,是维护和发展文化多样性和生物多样性的资源基础,是知识产权平衡激励机制的本质体现。     

论社区警务中的人权关怀

我国自20世纪90年代以来,不断加强社区警务建设,取得了显著成就。在我国社会主义市场经济、民主法制、权利保障不断发展和完善的历史潮流中,不断强化公安机关和社区民警的人权意识,增强对社区民众的人权关怀,应该成为我国社区警务建设的关键性环节。     

"理性社会——和谐社区"的初步探索

“社会”可以分为社会和社区两个层次。人们生活在具体的社区之中,社区和谐意义重大,社区是否和谐取决于社会是否理性,和谐社区只能存在于理性社会之中。“理性社会——和谐社区”是建设更美好社会的一个理论模型和可操作模式。     

简论社区建设与社区行政管理体制的改革

随着我国城市化速度的加快、城市管理任务的加重 ,尤其是改革的全面深化、“单位人”逐步向“社区人”转变 ,居民与社区的利益关系更加密切 ,迫切需要加强城市社区建设。然而 ,我国现行的社区行政管理体制却很不完善 ,条块分割、职能错位、关系不顺的现象十分严重。所以 ,要加强社区建设和管理 ,首先必须要注意体制创新 ,加快城市社区管理体制的改革步伐。     

社区警务的理论与实践初探

社区警务是以民众为本,富于创新、服务、整合理念的警务。实施社区警务对推进我国警务建设具有重大的意义。 我国建立社区警务秩序的新思路有:加强派出所建设;强化服务导向;推行警务私有化、混合警务;加强对社区治安资源的 利用、开发;建立考评体系。     

非常的夫妻财产制问题研究

非常的夫妻财产制是相对于普通的夫妻财产制而言的一种在特殊的情况下适用的财产制度,在世界许多国家的婚姻家庭法中都有规定。我国由于有关夫妻财产制的立法的不完善性,因此,在婚姻法中没有这项制度的规定。鉴于市场经济条件下夫妻财产关系与社会交易安全的密切联系,本文在借鉴世界三个有代表性的国家的立法的基础上,对我国设立非常的夫妻财产制的必要性、可行性进行了探讨,并就此提出了有关的立法设想。

Some Remarks on Implementation of Community Sanctions and Measures

We must acknowledge, of course, that custody must be available as the ultimate sanction for criminal offending, but it must be an option of last resort. At last, not at least, there must be a realisation of the enormous cost - in economic and particularly in human terms. Therefore, the basic question is: What is the cheapest and at the same time the most effective way of punishment, bearing in mind the failure of strong repressive measures and only a partial success of depenalisation and decriminalisation? The community sanctions and measures seem to be the best solution and they can, to a certain extent, meet the expectation put into them. I am not going to describe the individual alternatives or the way of their implementation in Western Europe or North America. I would like to concentrate on some problems related to their introduction, which are faced in post-totalitarian societies.     

Public Debt,Economic Growth,and Public Sector Management in Developing Countries: Is There a Link?

The article investigates whether differences in public sector management quality affect the link between public debt and economic growth in developing countries. For this purpose, we primarily use the World Bank's institutional indices of public sector management (PSM). Using PSM thresholds, we split our panel into country clusters and make comparisons. Our linear baseline regressions reveal a significant negative relationship between public debt and growth. The various robustness exercises that we perform also confirm these results. When we dissect our data set into “weak” and “strong” county clusters using public sector management scores, however, we find different results. While public debt still displayed a negative relationship with growth in countries with “weak” public sector management quality, it generally displayed a positive relationship in the latter group. The tests for non‐linearity shows evidence of an “inverse‐U”‐shape relationship between public debt and economic growth. However, we fail to see a similar significant relationship on country clusters that account for PSM quality. Yet, countries with well‐managed public sectors demonstrate a higher public debt sustainability threshold. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
