刑事自由裁量权基本问题

刑事自由裁量权是指在刑事法适用过程中,涉及刑事法适用的官方人员在所适用的刑事法规则内容允许的范围内,有权在可以采取的多种行为中作出选择。刑事自由裁量权具有绝对性,同时也具有相对性。绝对性是指裁量行为是任意的,不受限制。相对性是指刑事自由裁量权仅仅是一种弱式自由裁量权。行使刑事自由裁量权的主体涉及公安人员、检察官和法官。公安人员和检察官行使的自由裁量权主要是依据刑事诉讼法的程序性权力。法官行使的自由裁量权除程序性权力之外,主要是依据刑法的实体性权力。

国际刑事司法协助制度的若干新发展

《联合国打击跨国有组织犯罪公约》和《联合国反腐败公约》对国际刑事司法协助制度的新近发展作出了一定程度的总结,特别是确立了以追缴被非法转移的犯罪所得或收益为中心的司法协助新体系,放宽了双重犯罪原则对非强制性司法协助活动的限制作用,全面推广司法协助"中央机关"的联系机制,同时,倡导各国在条件允许的情况下采纳远程视频听证和联合调查的取证新方式。这些发展所涉及的一些新规则值得加以深入研究。

片面共犯之成立依据

片面共犯能否成立,在中外刑法理论界一直存在争议。片面共犯应当是成立的:刑法的规定是其成立的法律依据,部分犯罪共同说是其成立的理论基础,司法实践需要是其成立的现实依据。     

现代侦查权力的规制原则与我国侦查程序改革

现代侦查权力本质上是一种宪法权力,宪政的基本原理决定了宪法权力是一种受宪法和权利规制的权力。因此,现代法治国家均要求侦查权力依循宪法权力的内在理路而具有规范化、程序化、可救济性等特点。规范化要求强制侦查措施贯彻法定主义和令状主义;程序化追求控辩平等与独立的程序价值,体现为比例原则和辩护原则;可救济性要求侦查权力的程序性违法行为得到相应的实体性和程序性制裁。     

Ten tendencies of criminal justice

A study of the global tendencies of criminal justice will help us design a more scientific and rational pathway for the reformation of existing criminal justice system of China.

The Concept of Appropriation and The Offence of Theft

The English law of theft is confusing and problematic in principle. Since the introduction of the Theft Act 1968 there has been inconsistency in the interpretation of appropriation as court and commentators have grappled with the intuition that appropriation must entail some subjective element and cannot be purely objective. Although subjectivity is traditionally associated with culpability rather than with conduct, it is argued that some acts can be subjective and yet factual and stand as causes to effects. Appropriation is such an act, its necessary and sufficient condition being a mindset, here termed proprietary subjectivity, on the part of the actor. It is argued that clarification of the concept of appropriation can help to resolve misperceived problems. Such clarification will also reveal other problems in the law of theft. Some tentative comments de lege ferenda are made suggesting how these problems can be addressed.     

Toward a Feminist State: What Does ‘Effective’ Prosecution of Domestic Violence Mean?

This article examines domestic violence criminal prosecutions and addresses what 'effective' prosecutorial action means in such cases. The argument elaborates on a point recently articulated by the UN Special Rapporteur on Violence against Women, which links effective prosecution of violence against women to the creation of a less patriarchal society. The article concludes that 'effective' prosecution of domestic violence means prosecution which constitutes the State as less patriarchal ceteris paribus .     

统一公法学与刑法及刑法学的关系

刑法与刑法学,刑法学与公法学、统一公法学之间不是一种简单的线性关系。从数学中的集合概念来看,狭义的刑法学是统一公法学的组成部分,它们之间是被包含与包含的关系,即狭义刑法学被统一公法学所包含,狭义刑法学是统一公法学的子集。但若以广义刑法学立论,则广义刑法学与统一公法学之间是一种交叉关系,重合的部分即是狭义刑法学,此乃统一公法学与广义刑法学两个集合的交集。
