促进我国大学开放的若干问题思考

“开放”逐渐成为我国大学追求的重要目标,但我国大学所处的特殊内外环境,决定了我国大学在开放过程中出现的特殊问题,如大学的国际开放与民族化、大学开放的基础与形式、大学的自主权与大学开放以及大学管理的社会参与等。本文就以上问题进行一些思考。     

警务信息公开制度

警务信息公开制度是现代社会公开化、信息化在警察部门实践方面的体现,它有坚实的理论基础,更是适应WTO规则的需要,而从法律经济学角度来看,警务信息公开制度不但有保障公平、公正的法理学意义,更有追求“效益”的目的。     

论认证公开

认证公开是审判公开的重要组成部分,其对定分止争,维护社会稳定,构建和谐社会,具有重要作用。然而,我国许多法院在审判工作中对认证公开不够重视。本文对认证公开的含义及其意义,认证公开的途径作了较为深刻探讨。     

刑事侦查自由裁量论纲

当今中国的刑事侦查实践,自由裁量权的行使存在泛化、滥用等不规范现象,在实践中造成极其恶劣的后果,引发社会公众的广泛谴责.相反,理论界对于这一问题尚缺乏深入透彻的研究,实属遗憾.为保障刑事侦查机关正确行使权力,避免权力行使越界,有必要从理论层面对刑事侦查自由裁量的基本理论问题进行阐释,并且剖析中国刑事侦查自由裁量的突出问题,同时提出完善的基本对策.     

CORRELATES OF VIOLENT POLITICAL EXTREMISM IN THE UNITED STATES*

Although research on terrorism has grown rapidly in recent years, few scholars have applied criminological theories to the analysis of individual‐level political extremism. Instead, researchers focused on radicalization have drawn primarily from political science and psychology and have overwhelmingly concentrated on violent extremists, leaving little variation in the dependent variable. With the use of a newly available data set, we test whether variables derived from prominent criminological theories are helpful in distinguishing between nonviolent and violent extremists. The results show that variables related to social control (lack of stable employment), social learning (radical peers), psychological perspectives (history of mental illness), and criminal record all have significant effects on participation in violent political extremism and are robust across multiple techniques for imputing missing data. At the same time, other common indicators of social control (e.g., education and marital status) and social learning perspectives (e.g., radical family members) were not significant in the multivariate models. We argue that terrorism research would benefit from including criminology insights and by considering political radicalization as a dynamic, evolving process, much as life‐course criminology treats more common forms of crime.     

事实与规范视野下的我国腐败犯罪违法所得没收程序

2012年的《刑事诉讼法》中正式确立了违法所得没收程序,该特别程序的确立对于惩治腐败犯罪具有重大意义。基于当下中国反腐败的现实考量,在司法适用中,应当明确腐败犯罪中违法所得没收程序仅限于刑法典第八章贪污贿赂罪及其他章中明确规定依照第八章相关条文定罪处罚的重大犯罪案件;证明标准应当适当放松,建议实行举证责任倒置;积极参照《联合国反腐败公约》以及相关国家的立法,运用违法所得程序有效追回转移到境外的涉腐资产。     

现行政府信息公开制度与档案开放立法的完善

《政府信息公开条例》的颁布使我国政府信息公开工作规范化,将极大地推动政府信息工作的开展。信息公开是档案利用的一个重要组成部分,《条例》的颁布对档案信息利用立法是挑战,也是一种机遇。其在立法理念、信息公开的主体、方式等方面对我国档案利用立法形成较大的冲击。档案部门必须积极应对,不断健全和完善相关法律法规．确立开放利用为原则的立法理念,协调档案开放立法层次,把机关档案室纳入档案开放服务机构体系,缩短细化档案开放时限,扩大档案开放范围,设立档案开放制度保障机制。     

Access to Information in the West Indies: Gradual Progression to Greater Openness

Abstract

Since the turn of the 21st century, the region formerly known as the British West Indies has begun to embark slowly on the implementation of information rights legislation including freedom of information (FOI) legislation. The historical trajectory of the region has had a profound impact on its current position on the sharing of information between public entities and citizens. One of the challenges affecting the success of the implementation of FOI legislation is the state of recordkeeping in the territories, which has resulted in difficulties with providing access to official records and information over time. This article, from the perspective of an archivist/records manager, explores whether the historical past of the West Indies has some bearing on the slow enactment of FOI in the region and how proper recordkeeping could enhance the chances of success in implementation of FOI. It focuses on two main concepts, ‘open government’ and ‘citizen engagement’, underpinning FOI to assess whether the region has fully embraced these ideas and thus paved the way for implementation. It examines the Jamaican experience with FOI to determine whether this can be viewed as an effective model for other territories of the region to provide access to information for the betterment of West Indian society at large.     

Freedom of Information,Right to Access Information,Open Data: Who is at the Table?

Many national governments have adopted the idea of the ‘right to access information’ (RTI) or ‘freedom of information’ (FOI) as an essential element of the rights of citizens to freedom of opinion and expression, human rights, trust in public discourse and transparent, accountable and open government. Over 100 countries worldwide have introduced access to information legislation: 50+ in Europe; a dozen in Africa; 20 in the Americas and Caribbean; more than 15 in Asia and the Pacific; and two in the Middle East (Banisar, 2014 Banisar, D. (2014) National Right to Information Laws, Regulations and Bills 2014 Map, http://dx.doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.1857498, accessed 15 May 2015. [Google Scholar]). This article will provide an overview of access to information legislation and focus on the UK Freedom of Information Act 2000 as a case example. It will discuss the impact of the UK FOI Act on public authorities, with particular attention to records management implications, drawing on research undertaken by University College London. In the final section, it will reflect on relationships between access to information and open government data. If governments are moving to more openness, what implications might this have for those charged with implementing FOI and RTI policies, including for records management professionals?
