Inventing places: disrupting the ‘divided city’

ABSTRACT

This article looks at everyday encounters in Mostar to investigate how boundaries are enacted and displaced by its dwellers. Drawing on participant observation in two cafes, it considers boundaries not only in their spatial capacity, but in a confluence of space and time. It reflects on how owners and customers mobilize the idea of the pre-war city as a space of interethnic tolerance to criticize the contemporary city. It discusses how the creation of temporal boundaries complicate the narrative of the divided city and sheds light on attempts to restore places of co-existence in sharp contrast to the prevalent social order.     

公安机关立案活动的人权保障问题

随着我国法制建设的不断完善,有关人权保障的问题日益受到关注。公安机关作为重要的侦查部门,其活动直接与公民的权利密切相连,在实际操作中的侦查立案也很容易造成对人权的侵犯。从立案的性质、立案规范的不足对人权容易造成侵犯着眼,怎样把握立案的条件,在实际操作中切实保障公民的人权具有十分重要的意义。     

"诊所式法律教育"本土化的思考

起源于美国的"诊所式法律教育"要本土化并得以在我国普遍施行,目前尚存在很多障碍,如法学教育界思想观念 上轻视实践技能的培养、诊所的经费涉及对大学有限的教育资源的重新配置、诊所指导教师的素质等等。解决障 碍,因地制宜,建立各具特色的法律诊所才能使这一教育方法在我国生长。     

逻辑理性在纠纷解决中的异化——以泸县公安局治安检查案为例

前店后床的事实,用现有法律概念难于定性是住所还是经营场所。法官用营业时间来界定事实性质,存在用不确定概念解释不确定概念的逻辑理性欠缺,但不能掩饰其对社会纠纷解决的实际作用。在各种社会矛盾冲突频发的背景下,逻辑理性向纠纷解决妥协了,司法裁判呈现出一种调解式判决的样态。     

Using Carbon,Oxygen, Strontium,and Lead Isotopes in Modern Human Teeth for Forensic Investigations: A Critical Overview Based on Data from Bulgaria

Isotopic data obtained from human remains can provide information about an individual's origin, migration, and diet. We evaluate the usefulness of carbon, oxygen, strontium, and lead isotopes for forensic investigations by comparing data from Bulgarian teeth with data from other regions. Geo‐referencing based on oxygen or strontium isotopes can be misleading due to overlap with other countries in Europe and other continents. Carbon and lead isotopes, in combination with oxygen and strontium isotopes, provide the most useful information for identification of local vs foreigner status. In particular, high‐precision Pb isotopes show a distinct “Bulgarian” range; however, it is possible that individuals from other countries in Eastern Europe and/or central to western Asia could have overlapping isotopic values. Additional high‐precision multi‐isotope data from modern humans from different regions in the world are required to transition from speculative to more quantitative estimation of a geographical place of origin for unidentified human remains.     

法制现代化趋向探析

我国法制现代化的进程须要对法制本土资源给予充分的关注。从法律史的角度来观察中国法制现代化的进程是有价值的,而且是必要的。放弃对法制本土资源的研究利用,不利于我国法制现代化的发展。法学上的成功,并不止形式上的成功,更是与本土资源结合上的成功。我们应对我国的法制本土资源持正确的态度,对其进行认真的研究利用,取其精华,去其糟粕,使其结合我国法制现代化的进程,这是我国法制现代化的正确方向。

Punishment in Indian Country: Ironies of Federal Punishment of Native Americans

Native Americans are US citizens, but they are also tribal nationals subject to complex and unique criminal jurisdiction arrangements over Indian lands. Tribal nations typically have tribal court jurisdiction over less serious crimes, but for serious crimes the federal justice system often supersedes tribal authority, exposing Native Americans to more severe punishments. In addition, recent federal programs have attempted to foster greater tribal/federal criminal justice coupling. Yet, examinations of criminal punishment of Native Americans are few, and most are outdated and/or of very limited generalizability. We examine the punishment of Native American defendants in federal court, focusing on 28 federal districts with substantial Indian presence. Using recent US Sentencing Commission data, as well as contextual data from the Bureau of Indian Affairs and tribal courts, we focus on differences in the federal sentencing of Native American defendants, and how these differences are conditioned by indicators of tribal-federal criminal justice coupling.
