在现行法律框架下公安机关应对侵占罪之考量

我国刑法规定侵占罪是告诉才处理的自诉案件,公安机关不应当介入这类案件的处理。但在司法实践中,公安机关却屡屡突破了这一法律规定,原因何在？现行法律规定的局限性已严重地束缚了公安机关在这一案件中的作为,使侵占案件的被害人的合法权益无法得到足够的保护,如何在现行的法律框架之下应对侵占罪成为摆在公安机关面前的一道难题。     

浅议未成年人犯罪记录封存制度

近年来,一些地方法院,比如河北石家庄、乐陵法院等对未成年人犯罪记录封存制度进行了试点,取得了一定成效,积累了部分经验。在2012年最终将该制度写入了刑诉法,虽然,不可否认,该制度确实在实践中发挥了重大作用,但是不能忽略围绕该制度还存在许多问题,比如封存时间、封存范围、封存程序,该制度与其他机构如何协调,如何解决与其他制度的矛盾,等等,这些还需要不断的完善。     

Health‐Care Data Protection and Biometric Authentication Policies: Comparative Culture and Technology Acceptance in China and in the United States

A proliferation of health information technology (HIT) policies to implement dimensions of e‐health, including electronic medical records, electronic health records, personal health records, and e‐prescribing—along with expanding initiatives on mobile health in developed countries and emerging technologies—has sparked academic inquiry into the protection of privacy and data and the technology to protect privacy and data. This article examines HIT policies in the United States and in China and the use of authentication technologies to assess biometrics as privacy's friend or foe in different political frameworks with varying conceptions of privacy. An analysis of privacy in the context of health data protection, challenging relations of trust between patients and providers, the increasing perspective of health data integrity as a cyber‐security issue, and the growing rate of medical fraud and medical identity theft may yield findings of a convergence of views of privacy and biometrics unexpected of contrasting political cultures.     

The Employment of Ex-Offenders and the UK's New Criminal Record Bureau

This article outlines the development of the UK's Criminal Records Bureau designed to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the screening arrangements for potential employees by disclosure of their criminal records to employers. The Bureau builds on existing arrangements that have been in place for a number of years. The authors argue that this development, which includes a much wider availability of criminal records, is an example of a new social policy that has the potential for an unintended consequence of large scale social exclusion, by limiting the prospects of employment for ex-offenders.     

对我国检察官合理隐瞒证据的检讨

目前,我国检察官在移送主要证据给法院的时候,可以主观地选择移送有利于控方的证据,由于缺乏一定的内外部制约机制,这种现象在实践中已引起程序上的不公正,并在实践中造成了各种问题,解决的途径就是应当在确立证据展示制度的前提下,实行起诉书一本主义.     

Dilemmas and consequences of prior criminal record: a criminological perspective from England and Wales

This article considers the contemporary architecture of criminal record usage in England and Wales. We focus upon impact on ‘employment status’, partly because work is often now seen as key to good health and other self-esteem indicators in the modern world. First, we examine in the context of England and Wales, (a) the development of the contemporary criminal record system and extent of availability of prior record information in terms of employment (and other licensing purposes) and (b) the factors that helped shape the current architecture. Second, this article outlines what is known from the British criminological literature on employment and conviction records and what more is needed in terms of criminological research. Finally, we consider how convictions become ‘spent’ – in particular the English approach to ‘expungement’/sealing of the criminal record according to the 1974 Rehabilitation of Offenders legislation.     

群体诉讼的起诉成本分析

随着经济全球化的加快和我国加入WTO的日益临近,"小额多数"的现代型纠纷不断涌现,但我国的代表人诉讼制度存在严重的功能缺陷.以法律的经济分析为理论视角,比较中外四种典型群体诉讼制度的起诉成本,我国代表人诉讼制度的起诉成本最大,其后依次是选定当事人制度、团体诉讼、集团诉讼.这也正是作为"经济人"的广大消费者不愿进行代表人诉讼的重要原因之一.     

论新时代涉法信访的公众参与

新时代涉法信访处于攻坚阶段,公众参与可以消除不必要的臆测和疑虑,增强信访制度透明度。发挥党群制度优势,拓宽公众参与范围,创新公众参与方式,把信访处理结果和信访人诉求交付公众评判。让公众参与之声取代纠缠闹访杂音,成为涉法信访过程中化解难题的溶解剂。     

Preventing Homelessness for System‐Involved Youth

Too many youth and young adults find themselves on the streets, couch‐surfing with friends, in emergency shelters or worse, after exiting the child welfare and juvenile justice systems. In some circumstances, youth have had court hearings until their exit from the legal system, but those hearings have not focused on long‐range plans of youth and emergencies youth may encounter. In other circumstances, there has been little or no planning prior to discharge, especially for young people who leave the juvenile justice system. Courts can and should prevent, alleviate or end youth homelessness for youth who appear before them through strategies that are enumerated in the recently‐passed NCJFCJ resolution. This article expounds on three of these strategies – coordinating transition and re‐entry plans, insisting on effective legal representation of youth, and utilizing sound judicial leadership. It also describes the concurrent efforts of the Coalition for Juvenile Justice and the American Bar Association's Homeless Youth Legal Network to remove legal barriers and improve outcomes for youth and young adults experiencing homelessness.
