Europe under occupation: the European diplomatic community of practice in the Jerusalem area

ABSTRACT

This article shows how the existence of a community of European practitioners in the Jerusalem area gives substance to the European stance on the Israeli–Palestinian conflict. The often-stated European Union (EU) support for a two-state solution could appear meaningless in the absence of peace negotiations. However, European diplomats (i.e. diplomats of EU member states and EU officials) in the East Jerusalem–Ramallah area are committed to specific practices of political resistance to Israeli occupation and recognition of Palestinian institutions. These practices have led not only to a specific political geography of diplomacy, but also to a community of practice, composed of European diplomats and based on their daily experience of resisting occupation and bestowing recognition. It is this group of officials who represent and actively “do” Europe’s position and under occupation.     

In need of a cultural shift to promote restorative justice in Southern Europe

The article describes the main results of a European project on restorative justice (RJ) called Freedom Wings (FW) and presents a new model to promote RJ in Southern Europe, which was developed from FW findings. The principal mission of the FW project is to disseminate best practices of RJ within a transnational network and to promote community participation in conflict prevention and resolution, in order to support individual and social well-being. This paper presents the main findings of multiagency and professional focus groups exploring restorative approaches and community justice. Observation of experts’ social representation of RJ helped the authors to understand the operation of the justice systems in each country and the attitudes of senior officials towards implementing restorative practices in a way that actively involves the community. The analysis shows the necessity of a cultural change in order to switch from a form of RJ managed by the judicial system to one led by the community. The EU project enabled the research team to theorize a model for promoting a relational and restorative community.     

社区矫正视野下的重整性羞耻理论

我国的社区矫正制度正日益完善,但也面临诸多新的问题。其中,社区矫正中出现的烙印性羞耻现象,是社区矫正制度无法回避的,也是司法改革必须解决的问题。因此,有必要从烙印性羞耻的表象入手,分析烙印性羞耻之弊端,阐释重整性羞耻理论对消除烙印性羞耻现象的价值,并将其应用到社区矫正的实践中。     

社区治安网格化管理探析

城市化的不断发展,在促进经济增长,加速人口流动的同时,也加剧了社会治安环境的恶化。为了维护良好的社区治安环境,应对社会转型压力,公安机关在警务实践中积极探索社会治安管理模式,并形成了一套适用于社区治安的网格化管理体系。该文在界定社区治安网格化管理的基础上,对实行社区治安网格化管理的价值作了详细分析,并从加强社会协同、互联网技术应用和强化网格化领导三方面对社区治安网格化管理的构建和完善作了阐述。     

我国末成年入社区矫正制度探析

当前,已有人将未成年人犯罪与毒品、环境污染并列为世界三大公害。面对日趋严峻的未成年人犯罪形势,近年来,法学理论界与司法实践部门进行了一系列的探索,社区矫正作为未成年人司法改革的一项内容,代表了未成年人司法制度的一种发展趋向。对未成年人实施社区矫正,一方面可以使其减轻对社会的抵抗情绪,另一方面也能在互相谅解的基础上促进罪犯与社区的融合。建立未成年人社区矫正制度既是适应我国当前未成年人刑事政策的现实需要,也是国际未成年司法准则的客观要求。为此,我国应当完善立法．为未成年犯社区矫正提供有力的法律依据,并建立相应的机构来执行。     

对增设未成年犯社区服务刑的探讨

社区服务刑融教育刑思想与赔偿理论于一体,符合刑罚轻缓化和行刑社会化的趋势。对未成年犯适用社区服务刑,既能体现刑罚的惩罚功能,又能达到刑罚教育预防的目的。     

论社区矫正的程序构建

社区矫正的顺利发展亟需健全的程序加以保障。应及时对有关法律进行修改、补充和完善,以规范社区矫正的运作程序。这些程序包括社区矫正裁决前的人格调查制度、社区矫正裁量中的听证程序、检察机关对社区矫正的适用建议权、社区服刑人员有关权利和义务的告知程序、适用社区矫正的司法担保制度、对矫正对象的测评与分类制度、社区矫正裁决及矫正方案制定中与犯罪人的协商制度、以及关于社区矫正效果的评估制度等。
