关于管制刑的几点法理思考

我国刑法中的管制刑有着一定的合理性,但存在着严重的缺陷,表现在先期羁押的时间与管制刑刑期的折抵不合理、管制刑执行主体不合理、管制刑与刑法中特殊累犯制度存在冲突等等。同时,管制刑与缓刑有着极大的重合性,因此可以将管制刑废除而对缓刑制度加以改革以吸收其合理成分,同时将拘役刑作一些调整以完善刑罚体系。     

庭外调查权程序性建构概略

修改后的刑事诉讼法保留了法官的庭外调查权,有其合理性,有利于查明案件事实、保证控辩平衡、控制侦查权和维护法官的利益;但法律对于庭外调查权的规定并不完善,庭外调查权的行使也有一些弊端,违反了法官的超然中立地位和加重了法官的负担。因而对法官的庭外调查权从主体、条件、方式、期限、庭外调查所获证据的使用和权利的救济等方面进行严格的程序性限制,将有利于克服庭外调查权在司法实践中的弊端,实现庭外调查的目的。

Getting Out the Vote With Voting Advice Applications

This article investigates the mobilization potential of online voter information tools known as “Voting Advice Applications” (VAAs). We argue that an observational approach utilizing survey data constitutes the best available method for causal inference where VAAs are popular—and we are thus most interested in VAA turnout effects—because randomized experiments are likely to run into double cross-over problems. We suggest that matching offers key improvements over existing methods to tackle self-selection into VAA use in observational studies. To improve confidence in selection on observables, we complement matching estimates with an extensive sensitivity analysis, including a placebo test. Empirically, we study the effect of smartvote, a popular VAA from Switzerland, on turnout in the 2007 Swiss federal election. We find that smartvote usage significantly increased the individual-level probability to vote. Our results suggest that smartvote was, on the aggregate, responsible for about 1.2 % points of the total tally with an estimated cost of nine Swiss Francs (7.5 U.S. dollars or 1.4 “Big Macs”) per additional vote. Promising as well, we find that the mobilization effect was more pronounced among younger voters. Our findings point to the value of VAAs compared to traditional get out the vote tactics.     

Lesbian and Gay Immigrants' Post-Migration Experiences: An Integrative Literature Review

This integrative literature review synthesizes recent empirical knowledge about lesbian and gay immigrants' post-migration experiences. Twenty-four studies with various designs are included. The literature shows that those immigrants encounter some opportunities but also many challenges on economical, social and identity levels, thus soliciting coping strategies. Results are synthesized under five topics: the delicate situation in which they find themselves for revealing their lesbian or gay sexual orientation; the racist and homophobic discrimination they can experience; their renegotiation of socioeconomic status; the identity and affiliation challenges they have to overcome; and the hardships that can impact their health.     

口供的证明效力与补强

口供是指犯罪嫌疑人、被告人在刑事诉讼中就其被指控的犯罪事实以及其他案件事实向公安司法机关所作的陈述,具有真实性、自愿性.口供可划分为庭外供述和庭上供述,就审判阶段而言,庭外供述必须转化为庭上供述才能作为定案的根据.在共同犯罪中,同案被告人口供不能作为证人证言使用,即使同案被告人口供一致,仍需其他证据予以补强.     

A CASE FOR REFORM OF THE CHILD WELFARE SYSTEM

There are more than half a million children in our nation's foster care system. While foster care is intended to provide a temporary safe harbor for abused and neglected children, too many of these youth spend years in foster care limbo—experiencing a turbulent life in motion as they move from placement to placement, community to community, and school to school. Youth in foster care commonly fail to receive basic health and psychological care, and nearly 20,000 youth age out of foster care every year to an adult path of homelessness, unemployment, and despair. Our entire community must work together to more responsibly parent these youth. This article will address how lawyers and child advocates can advocate for new approaches and enhanced support on behalf of the voiceless and most vulnerable members of our community. It will address existing hurdles and systemic challenges that have helped to create the current disheartening status quo. The article will then discuss strategies that advocates can employ to turn the corner on behalf of these youth at risk.     

城市公用事业民营化法律路径的比较分析

传统观念认为城市公用事业应当由政府所有和经营以维护公共利益,但是20世纪80年代以来,世界各国纷纷进行城市公用事业民营化的改革。当前,在我国,城市公用事业旧的经营模式的弊端已经暴露,越来越多的人开始认识到政府在城市公用事业供应中应承担责任并不等于政府直接生产产品或服务,实际上,私人生产和政府安排的有机结合更有效率。公私合资经营、合同外包和特许权经营都是实现城市公用事业民营化的有效法律路径,但是应依据具体项目的特征慎重选择甚至混合使用。     

论倾诉类文章著作权的归属

倾诉类文章是近几年才兴起的一种文字作品形式。由于倾诉类文章的署名比较混乱,导致此类文章著作权归属不明。按照倾诉类文章的性质判断,署名采访人或者撰稿人的做法并不妥当。一般而言,倾诉类文章多是由记录整理人在倾诉人口头陈述的基础上整理而成,因此,倾诉类文章属于整理作品,倾诉人享有口头作品的著作权,记录整理人享有整理作品的著作权。考虑到倾诉人的实际情况,为了有利于倾诉类文章著作权的行使,记录整理人可以与倾诉人签订著作权转让或许可使用协议,将倾诉人享有的著作权转让或许可给记录整理人使用。
