2010年上海世博会日益临近，面对境外毒品渗透加剧的毒情形势，边检机关要统一思想、提高认识，积极参与禁毒工作；要通过专项培训和科技手段，提高边检民警查缉毒品的意识与技能；密切与其他缉毒职能部门的合作；把禁毒宣传与世博宣传相结合。边检部门要通过强化禁毒职能，为世博会创造和谐的口岸环境。     

涉毒违法行为若干问题探讨——解读《治安管理处罚法》对涉毒违法行为的立法与处罚适用

《治安管理处罚法》颁布施行后,将成为公安机关处罚涉毒违法行为的法律依据。该法继承了《关于禁毒的决定》和《治安管理处罚条例》对涉毒违法行为的有关规定,并在调整范围、处罚幅度等方面进行了补充和修改,解决了我国法律在惩治涉毒违法行为的立法和适用上的部分问题;但仍存在立法上的遗漏和适用上的不足,应进一步制订实施细则加以完善。

KEY LINKAGES BETWEEN CHILD WELFARE AND SUBSTANCE ABUSE TREATMENT: SOCIAL FUNCTIONING IMPROVEMENTS AND CLIENT SATISFACTION IN A FAMILY DRUG TREATMENT COURT*

This article summarizes early findings regarding social functioning and client satisfaction from a longitudinal study of women receiving treatment in a family drug treatment court located in the Midwestern United States (N = 33). Drug treatment court participants were interviewed at program entry and when they had completed 6 months of treatment. Family drug court participants reported significant improvements in employment status and increases in earned income after 6 months of treatment. Respondents also reported improved social functioning and high overall levels of satisfaction with treatment. Findings and implications for future research are discussed.     

行政滥用职权琐议

认定行政滥用职权应当有一个法律标准,由于滥用职权是滥用自由裁量权,要认定自由裁量权被滥用,其内容涉及合理性,而合理性的内容要接受司法审查,则必须将合理性的内容和标准法律化。只有这样,才能把行政滥用职权界定为行政违法行为,才能分清滥用职权与行政不当的界限,理清滥用职权与显失公正之间的关系等。     

当前毒品测试的检材及方法

严峻的毒品形势使禁毒已成为我们公安工作的重要内容,当前缉毒检测工作的一个重点就是不断研究出快速准确的毒品检测方法。人体内毒品成分测试可用的检材有很多,采用最多的检材是尿液。常用的方法有仪器和非仪器两种。无论哪种方法,最初的筛选采用的都是免疫测试的方法。这也是当前流行的方法及研究的一个重要课题。本文将从检材和方法两方面进行人体内毒品成分检测的讨论。     

An epidemic of illicit fentanyl deaths in Cook County, Illinois: September 2005 through April 2007

Between September 2005 and April 2007, 350 fentanyl intoxication deaths were investigated and certified by the Cook County Medical Examiners Office. Investigations revealed that the majority of these fatalities were by intravenous injection of a white powder followed by a rapid collapse. The fentanyl was clandestinely produced in a lab in Toluca, Mexico and sold by the Mickey Cobra street gang. The term "Drop Dead" was coined for this "tainted heroin." Postmortem samples were screened by ELISA and confirmed by standard GC-MS methods. Fentanyl fatalities peaked at 47 per month in May and June 2006. Fifty-two percent were single fentanyl intoxications, with the remainder accompanied by either cocaine, morphine from heroin, or alcohol. This epidemic stressed the limited resources of the toxicology laboratory and autopsy service of the Medical Examiners Office. The clandestine lab was terminated, distributing gang members and leaders arrested, and the epidemic ceased in April 2007.     

ADOLESCENT DRUG USERS: THE JUSTICE SYSTEM IS MISSING AN IMPORTANT OPPORTUNITY

A significant number of youth and young adults who use drugs have fallen through the cracks of our juvenile and adult justice systems in terms of receiving any meaningful services. The situation is due to a number of factors, including the reliance on adolescent self reporting utilized by most of the research, the failure of justice and other systems to routinely assess youth for either current drug use or indicia of drug use (e.g., "resiliency" or "protective" factors), and confidentiality and other restrictions pertaining to access to juvenile justice system information. Yet, retrospective reviews of drug use patterns for adults in the criminal justice system make it clear that drug use is beginning for most of these offenders during adolescence or before. This article urges (1) juvenile courts to develop mechanisms for systematically screening youth who come into the system for drug use and/or propensities for drug use and (2) adult courts to embark on similar strategies and to develop adolescent tracks that would be geared to providing the services these youth (despite their chronological age) need and would otherwise not receive in the adult system.
