Inmates' Social Background and Living Conditions

Central criminological theoretical approaches, such as strain theory, control theory and critical theory, have as precondition that offenders often are marginalized and belong to the lower classes in society. Particularly the prison population has been assumed to suffer from severe material and social conditions. In the case of Norway, the empirical evidence on this assumption has been scarce and a broader and systematic approach has been lacking. This paper presents findings from a survey of the standard of living among a Norwegian prison population. Conventional measurements of welfare are examined, including accumulation of welfare deficiencies and situation at release. The findings indicate that the prison population live under very poor conditions, and are confronted with major difficulties at release concerning housing, money and work. The interpretation is emphasizing the living conditions as opportunity structures where welfare deficiencies put limits to the individuals' possibility to govern their own lives. Hence, inadequate living conditions should not necessarily be considered as causes of crime, but as a narrowed opportunity structure where other choices are limited.     

社会权概念界定之批判与重塑

当前学界对社会权概念的界定,主要存在"内涵—价值分析"、"外延—规范分析"两种路径。虽然以上分析具有逻辑上的内在关联,但它们都没有完整揭示出社会权概念的本质特征。社会权作为一项基本人权,主要立基于对尊严与平等以及社会经济领域公民适当生活水准的价值追求。国家义务作为界定社会权内涵的重要工具性指标,其分别涵括尊重、保护和给付三种义务类型,但在逻辑上,尊重和保护义务只是给付义务的逻辑衍生。在外延上,社会权并非意指《经济、社会及文化权利国际公约》所规定的各项经济、社会和文化权利。受国情因素制约,各国宪法对于社会权的规定并非整齐划一。我国宪法层面上的社会权主要包括适当生活水准权、劳动权、获得物质帮助权以及受教育权等。     

From the Agora to the Coffee-House: Heller's Quest for Philosophical Radicalism

Abstract

This paper considers Agnes Heller's attempt to construct a post Marxist radical philosophy. It examines the two main phases of this project: beginning with her late seventies A Radical Philosophy, it charts her development towards the position she now characterises as reflective post-modernism. It shows that despite a constant commitment to rational critique, Heller's concept of philosophical radicalism has shifted from an emphasis on total critique to that of maintaining balance between the rival technological and historical imaginations that exercise a ‘double-bind’ over the modern individual. The paper explains the rationale of this evolution, highlights the features of each phase and critically analyses their weaknesses. Finally it argues that Heller's contemporary position represents a sophisticated attempt to overcome the limitations of former left radicalism and address the continuing need for orientation in contemporary modernity.     

民间法研究中的基本概念辨析

民间法研究之潮起,反映出学界对中国法治之路更为深层次的探索。然而在民间法研究中,语言混乱已是不争的事实,习惯法、传统法、非官方法、活法、行动中的法等概念往往与民间法概念交织一起,不加区分而随意使用,一定程度地制约了民间法研究走向深入,因此急需完成对相关概念的辨析。

获利与归属:我国企业职工的持股心理

职工持股是企业职工通过拥有企业的股票 ,以劳动者和所有者的双重身份参与企业生产经营管理的一种制度。普通职工持股的心理是混杂着“投资人”的理性与社会人的情感要素的。理性的效益 ,使职工能时时关心企业的兴衰 ,始终注意为企业出谋划策 ;情感基础上建立的归属依赖关系 ,则会起着凝聚起职工的作用。它使职工对企业的归属、参与和责任有了可靠的物质基础和切入点 ,普通职工持股制度的设计与实施 ,必须对其实质及其适应性有充分的认识 ,并寻求能与其结合的具有内在性的制度依据
