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。     

对刑法中“国家规定”的理解和适用——兼评一宗走私制毒物品案的审理

正确把握“国家规定”的内涵和外延,对于定罪量刑非常重要。当前将国务院各部委制定的规章视为刑法中的“国家规定”没有充足的法律依据。基于国务院的行政管理职责实际是由各部委来具体履行的现实,建议立法机关对“国家规定”作扩张解释,将国务院有关部门依据法律和行政法规制定的规章等纳入“国家规定”的范围,为打击诸如走私盐酸等类的违法行为提供法律依据。     

论侦查观念及其理论基础

宏观上的侦查观念主要包括侦查程序意识、侦查诉讼意识和侦查均衡意识。侦查程序意识的理论基础是侦查程序具有独立价值,即其本身应具有公正性、人道性等价值要求,侦查程序具有使侦查结果正当化的作用;侦查诉讼意识的理论基础是明确侦查是一项诉讼性认识活动,区别技术角度和诉讼角度,区分侦查与侦查程序、侦查程序与侦查策略、侦查的技术规则和侦查的程序规则等相关概念;侦查均衡意识的理论基础是侦查活动具有多元价值目标,应对发生冲突的价值目标进行均衡和抉择,当必须作出选择时,应以有利于实现维护法治利益和社会秩序这一根本目的为取舍标准。     

我国警检关系之协调模式探析

目前警检双方常常在刑事诉讼中发生冲突,以致有时不能准确高效地完成刑事诉讼的根本任务。为走出警检冲突的困境,有人提出检察引导侦查这一新型警检关系模式。     

Competitive Liberalization,Competitive Imperialism,and Intellectual Property

Aggressive pursuit of free trade agreements (FTAs) and customs unions (CUs) by major and minor trading powers alike challenges the conventional wisdom in favor of such pursuit – competitive liberalization. An equally plausible explanation for an active bilateral and regional trade agreement policy, one which effectively de-emphasizes multilateralism, may be competitive imperialism. The protection and enforcement of intellectual property rights is one area in which new provisions, going beyond multilateral rules, are being negotiated and written into FTAs and CUs. Such provisions may yield insights into which characterization of bilateralism and regionalism – competitive liberalization or competitive imperialism – is more apt.

证据排除规则的重构——以诉讼效率为视角

诉讼效率指诉讼收益与诉讼成本之间的差额。诉讼收益主要体现为发现真实,而诉讼成本主要体现为证据的收集与认定成本。证据排除规则既可以保障发现案件真实,亦可以保护其他合法利益,但我国目前的证据法没有能够从提供诉讼效率的角度去设计证据排除规则,我国诉讼法中不同的诉讼采用相同的证明标准是这一现象出现的重要原因。     

犯罪过失构成要素比较研究

科学地抽象和概括犯罪过失共同的构成要素并进行比较研究,对于正确认定犯罪过失和过失犯罪,具有积极的意义。中外学者都比较重视对过失构成要素的研究,但侧重点各不相同:国外学者特别是大陆法系的学者注重对构成要素内容的研究,国内学者则侧重于对其结构的剖析。违法性认识不是犯罪过失的构成要素。     

侦查教学贴近公安实践的思考

侦查教学贴近实践,是培养实战型人才的重要环节。侦查工作的实践性特点和现实斗争的需要,培养实战型人才的重任落在教育部门肩上。如何在教学中贴近公安实践,与采取的教学手段相互关联。对侦查教学进行改革,协调整合理论和实践课内容的成分,提高教师业务水平,汲取基层实践经验,发掘教师资源,是当前侦查教学中的关键问题。
