诉讼欺诈的犯罪化

目前对诉讼欺诈的刑法规制出现法律上的非犯罪化与事实上的犯罪化并存之状况,不利于司法实践。诉讼欺诈犯罪化有其合理性、正当性,诉讼欺诈应适度犯罪化。     

How the detection of insurance fraud succeeds and fails

Abstract

Insurance fraud is a serious and growing problem, and there is widespread recognition that traditional approaches to tackling fraud are inadequate. Studies of insurance fraud have typically focused upon identifying characteristics of fraudulent claims and claimants, and this focus is apparent in the current wave of forensic and data-mining technologies for fraud detection. An alternative approach is to understand and then optimize existing practices in the detection of fraud. We report an ethnographic study that explored the nature of motor insurance fraud-detection practices in two leading insurance companies. The results of the study suggest that an occupational focus on the practices of fraud detection can complement and enhance forensic and data-mining approaches to the detection of potentially fraudulent claims.     

国际贸易术语的新发展及应当注意的法律问题

Incoterms是国际商会制定的在国际经贸界最有影响力的国际贸易惯例。为适应国际贸易形势发展的需要,国际商会最新修订完成了《Incoterms2010》。其在国际贸易术语的分类、数量的增加与删除、风险责任的划分、适用的范围等方面都有很多新变化,也引起了新的法律问题。正确认识和解《Incoterms 2010》在适用中可能遇到的这些新问题,对保证交易的顺利进行及保障当事人的合法权益具有重要的法律意义。     

保险诈骗罪第4款解释路径的法律分析

片面共犯由于违背共同故意要件因而不属于共同犯罪,其不能对保险诈骗罪第4款的法律性质作出合理的解释。保险诈骗罪第4款既不属于法律拟制和注意规定,也不属于想象竞合和法规竞合,其是法律文本主义的当然解释,亦是大竞合理论下,适用从一重处断原则的当然结果。     

Gender and “Other People's Money”: An Analysis of White-Collar Offender Sentencing

Although the female share of white-collar crime arrests (e.g., fraud, forgery, and embezzlement) continues to increase, little is known about the nature of women's involvement in these offenses, or the extent to which the legal treatment of white-collar offenders differs by gender. Using national survey data on employee crime, the present research addresses these voids in the literature. Consistent with prior research, women's roles in fraud offending are restricted by their positions in the organizational hierarchy. In support of the focal concerns perspective, results show that the decision to incarcerate and length of sentence are primarily shaped by indicators of offender blameworthiness. Findings reported here contribute to the literature on gender and white-collar crime, and also extend the growing body of focal concerns research to a previously unexplored sentencing context.     

Does electoral fraud spread? The expansion of electoral manipulation in Russia

In this paper, we argue that the occurrence of electoral manipulation in Russia has been driven, in part, by diffusion across neighboring raions through emulation, incentives, and networks. Presumably, in Putin’s Russia all local authorities have some incentives to deliver a high number of votes to United Russia, the “party of power”. However, the perceived pressure to deliver ever higher levels of support for Putin’s party arguably increases considerably if one’s raion is located in a region marked by extraordinarily high turnout and high vote share for United Russia. Conversely, the absence of perceived competition to curry executive favor through delivering votes and networks of uncorrupted local authorities, as well as local opposition organizations working to combat electoral fraud, may help explain the absence of fraud among raions located in regions marked by clean elections. Our quantitative analyses suggest that a “neighborhood effect” – the existence of manipulated raions within a region – strongly influences the likelihood that raions are manipulated. Moreover, although results are more mixed, spatial autocorrelation analysis suggests that turnout levels in raions are influenced by the turnout in proximate raions.

随着我国金融业、通信业的快速发展,电信诈骗作为一种跨境、跨地域新型团伙犯罪,借助于网络与通信工具实施非接触式虚假信息诈骗犯罪,其发展趋势迅速蔓延。公安机关应进一步探索和研究侦破此类犯罪的打防对策,从根本上遏止电信诈骗违法犯罪的高发态势。     

保险诈骗犯罪手法分析及防范策略研究

近年来,保险诈骗案件呈多发态势,扰乱了正常的保险经营秩序,阻碍了中国保险业的健康发展。研究保险诈骗犯罪及防范策略,对加强预防保险欺诈行为、维护正常的保险秩序有着重要意义。防范保险诈骗可采取以下措施:(一)保险公司自身应强化管理,提高诈骗风险控制能力;(二)保险行业内部应相互配合,搭建业内信息共享平台;(三)金融检察部门要惩防并举,加强对保险行业的保护;(四)执法部门之间需加强协作,构建线索移送通报制度;(五)公众法制宣传要点面结合,加强骗保犯罪预防效果。     

加工贸易渠道走私犯罪及对策研究

加工贸易在促进我国经济增长、出口创汇以及推进我国工业化进程等方面做出了历史性的贡献。由于区域经济发展不均衡、海关监管制度存在漏洞、走私犯罪日趋集团化和专业化以及缉私警力相对紧张,加工贸易各领域、各环节都存在严重的走私犯罪行为。加工贸易渠道的走私犯罪涉及范围广泛、涉案金额巨大,不仅使国家税收大量流失,而且对我国社会主义市场经济秩序造成了强烈冲击。加工贸易走私犯罪具有手段隐蔽、周期漫长、取证困难等特点,给案件的侦破带来了很大的困难和挑战。我国破获的此类案件数量较少,难以对犯罪分子形成有力震慑。因此,我们一方面要强化自身能力建设,另一方面要加强对加工贸易渠道走私犯罪的研究,双管齐下,多措并举,严密防范,严厉打击,有效遏制其连年增长的趋势。加强对加工贸易渠道走私犯罪的研究工作,既是打击走私犯罪的现实需要,也是提高缉私效能的必由之路。     

诈术的双重视角分析

在诈骗罪中,被害人之所以上当受骗,源于行为人使用了诈术。1诈术即欺瞒,表现为行为人与被害人之间的一个互动过程。对于诈术的判断,需要结合行为人、被害人两个维度进行分析。从行为人方面看行为人的行为是否具有危害性,从被害人角度看被害人是否需要刑法来保护。只有从这两个方面考察都能得出肯定结论的,才是诈术,才能成立诈骗罪。结合两个维度来判断是否成立诈术的方法,可以为区分诈骗犯罪行为与民事欺诈行为提供思路。
