理性对待未成年人前科消灭制度——兼评新《刑事诉讼法》第275条

未成年人前科消灭制度在保护未成年犯罪人合法权益方面具有突出的价值,也存在一定的局限性。以刑事诉讼法修改为背景,以“相对合理主义”的立场分析实现未成年犯罪人个人利益和社会公共利益之间的平衡,分析了建立未成年人前科封存制度以及与之配套的犯罪记录查询制度的合理性。我国刑诉法对这两项制度规定有所不足,应加以完善。     

Psychic investment in cruelty: three parables on race and imprisoning the mentally ill

Drawing on ethnographic and activist work in New York, I analyze three contemporary cases of mentally ill people charged violent crimes. State violence against them can be characterized as a differential and differentiated set of racial and gendered practices. The case studies offer something between a parable, a field report, and a cautionary tale of the dystopian tendencies already embedded within the criminal justice system in the United States. Based on these cases, I will argue that despite recent liberal reform, scant evidence suggests any deep shift in the web of agencies that pipe people, especially the mentally ill, into prison and jail, or a shift in the cruel and humiliating practices these agencies embody. For the society to achieve what Du Bois called an abolition democracy, the affective infrastructure and psychic investment in debasing subordinated others would have to be abolished.

PENALITY AND THE PENAL STATE

The sociology of punishment has developed a rich understanding of the social and historical forces that have transformed American penality during the last 40 years. But whereas these social forces are not unique to the United States, their penal impact there has been disproportionately large, relative to comparable nations. To address this issue, I suggest that future research should attend more closely to the structure and operation of the penal state. I begin by distinguishing penality (the penal field) from the penal state (the governing institutions that direct and control the penal field). I then present a preliminary conceptualization of “the penal state” and discuss the relationship between the penal state and the American state more generally.     

对一惩治贪污罪案例的解读与思考

贪污罪在西方和发达国家的刑法中不是必设罪名,有的国家把它写在财产罪里,作为侵占罪或者盗窃罪加以规定,有的国家把它作为侵占、贿赂等犯罪的概括性罪名。由于美国的法律渊源复杂,尤其判例法制度决定了法官拥有较大的审判自由裁量权,加之美国其他刑罚和刑事诉讼制度的特点,使该案法官得以作出非常规判决。该判决凸显代表当代刑罚改革潮流的诸多刑罚观念和司法理念,对完善我国惩治贪污罪的刑罚制度具有一定的启示与借鉴意义。     

死刑制度考察--兼评中国死刑制度现状与发展趋势

死刑是人类历史上最古老的刑罚手段,但传统的死刑观念受到了自然法学派理性主义和刑罚人道主义思想的影响和冲击.目前,世界上大多数国家已废除死刑或基本上不适用死刑,但中国仍保留着死刑制度.本文结合目前死刑在世界范围内及中国的存在状况分析其废除的合理性及在中国范围内存在的现实性.     

附属刑法相关问题探讨

附属刑法是规定在非刑事法律中的刑法规范,它与刑法典之间的关系主要是补充与被补充、修改与被修改的关系,但它与刑法修正案、单行刑法等修改、补充刑法典的形式相比,具有较好衔接刑事责任与民事责任、行政责任以及节约立法成本的作用。附属刑法有依附型和独立型两种立法模式。对于补充、修改刑法典的附属刑法,只有全国人大及其常委会创制的非刑事法律中才能加以规定。刑法典的总则规范适用于附属刑法,除非附属刑法有特别规定。     

The Re-integration Process from the Perspective of Prisoners: Opinions, Percieved Value and Participation

In this article the presence of the rehabilitation goal in the policy of the prison system in the Netherlands will be discussed first. Particular attention will be paid to the question as to why the rehabilitation goal, in spite of the doubtfull status of its impact, still plays a role in the increasing instrumentalist policy of the Dutch criminal justice system. In addition, some limitations of a one-sided 'nothing works' approach of rehabilitation will be discussed. Next, empirical research is examined for what it teaches about the functioning of correctional programmes within the prison system. Special attention will be paid to the attitudes of inmates toward rehabilitation. It will be shown that in spite of a considerable body of research on institutional adaptation, little is known about the dynamics between inmates' attitudes and personal, situational and organisational background variables. In addition, the results of a survey, conducted on the nature and sources of inmates' attitudes towards rehabilitation, will be presented. Finally, this article will offer reflections on the benefits of a process-evaluative approach of correctional interventions.
