How Surrogate Impact Panels Function in the Context of Intimate Partner Violence: A Mixed-Methods Study

ABSTRACT

Intimate partner violence (IPV) continues to be an urgent social problem, despite decades of intervention and prevention efforts. Restorative justice programs (e.g., victim impact panels) may be a useful addition to intimate partner violence (IPV) intervention, but it is unclear how these panels operate and to what extent they are consistent with restorative justice models. This naturalistic study of IPV surrogate impact panels used ethnographic observation of panels (n = 18), archival analysis of audience responses to the panel (N = 287), and focus groups and interviews (k = 4) with IPV survivors, an audience member, and batterer intervention providers to investigate these gaps. Findings suggest the panels manifest interactional processes consistent with restorative justice principles. Implications, limitations, and future aims of research on these panels are discussed.     

脑干轴索肿胀的半定量研究

目的 探讨轴索肿胀在鉴定脑干损伤中的意义。方法 取明确死于原发性脑干损伤(36例)和脑外疾病(28例)者共64例，分为损伤组(36例)和对照组(其中死于心血管疾病12例、非心血管疾病16例)，并将其死后24h和48h前、后做尸体解剖分为2组，通过对中脑、脑桥和延脑切片、镀银染色，在100倍光镜下采用显微测微器测量每片9条最粗的轴索横径，对所得数据作方差分析、t检验统计学处理。结果 损伤组与对照组(不包括心血管疾病死亡者)相比，中脑、延脑部的轴索肿胀程度有明显差异(P＜0.05)；死后48h内解剖的损伤组与对照组相比无差异(P＞0.05)，但超过48h解剖两组有明显差异(P＜0.05)。结论 中脑、延脑部轴索肿胀与外伤有明显的相关性。轴索肿胀对判断脑干损伤有意义。需排除心血管疾病致死。

放弃重复侵害行为的法律性质

放弃重复侵害行为,不论从主观、客观两个方面说,还是从其行为特征看,其法律性质应当属于犯罪中止,而不是犯罪未遂。     

文化研究对文学研究的冲击

文化研究虽然兴起不过几十年的时间,但它却以其深厚的理论积淀向文学研究发起了冲击。它具有跨学科、超学科的特性,更多地关注文学文本以外的因素,并且淡化文学经典,把非经典、非精英文化提到相当的高度。文化研究对文学研究的冲击是全面的,但它们实质上是一种对话和互动关系。     

维多利亚时期英国城市的娼妓问题

维多利亚时期的一个典型特征就在于它严厉的性道德观,对性采取一种压抑的态度。然而,在贞洁被人们所顶礼膜拜的时候,娼妓的队伍却是十分庞大的。这种相悖的社会现象的产生有着其特殊的社会背景,同时也给社会造成了一定程度的影响。     

Caribbean electricity restructuring: an assessment

This article assesses the privatisation of the electricity sector in two Caribbean countries, Jamaica and Trinidad and Tobago, to determine if they have been successful and whether they have contributed benefits to the respective societies. Two general methods are applied in assessing the success of the divestments; attainment of governments' stated objectives and commonly used utility performance metrics together with social and customer focus indicators. The results indicate that the stated objectives were broadly achieved, and the privatisation and its attempts brought benefits to the consumers and the society in general. The short to medium term benefits were accrued through lower labour costs per unit of electricity, higher performance of plant and operations and business led decision‐making. Long‐term benefits are accrued through the reduction or elimination of electricity supply deficits. However, although the basic privatisations were successful, the absence of an adequate regulatory framework in one case may have reduced the quantum of benefits through failure to enforce continuous improvement in the privatised generation company, and reductions in worker rents in the public distribution company. Further, benefits were reduced by long divestment processes, accompanying strategic drift, opportunity costs from delayed sale proceeds and efficiency enhancement, and the costs to sustain interim operations.

480例活体损伤的法医学鉴定分析

目的分析活体损伤的特征,探讨其损伤类型与损伤程度的关系,以及法医学鉴定的有关问题。方法随机抽取1998-2001年间活体损伤的鉴定资料,对伤者的损伤及其法医学鉴定进行回顾性分析。结果男性伤者居多;多发伤高于任何单一部位损伤;致伤方式以钝器致伤为主;重伤以颅内血肿和腹腔脏器破裂最多,轻伤以四肢骨折居首。结论损伤程度与损伤部位及类型有一定的关系。     

香港建造业关怀基金在维护工人权益中的地位和作用

“建造业关怀基金”是香港建造业惟一的非盈利慈善团体,按香港税务法例第88条注册.它为工业意外的死亡工友家属,提供灾危援助及善后的系列服务,弥补了政府服务的不足及法例的缺失.“建造业关怀基金”的启动,亦引起了工会的深刻反思.如何维护香港法律框架之外,非工伤伤亡工人的权益,是工会所要解决的重要问题之一.     

再论生命权的损害赔偿

生命权受害给死者亲属造成的损失包括精神损害和物质损失两部分.精神损害是直接性的,物质损失既有直接性的也有间接性的,而间接性的物质损失所占比重远大于直接性的物质损失.我国司法实践中出现的死亡赔偿结果的"同命不同价"的主要原因正在于我国法律法规对生命权受害的赔偿内容过于侧重于死者亲属的间接物质损失.但是,相较而言,间接性的物质损失带有更大的不确定性和不现实性,死亡赔偿制度将其作为侧重点是不科学的,导致的问题也不易解决.生命权损害赔偿的内容,应注重精神损害赔偿,体现生命的精神价值.间接性物质损失的赔偿,只需赔偿受抚养人生活费即可.通过这种整治,同命不同价的命题有望得到破解.
