The Concept of Appropriation and The Offence of Theft

The English law of theft is confusing and problematic in principle. Since the introduction of the Theft Act 1968 there has been inconsistency in the interpretation of appropriation as court and commentators have grappled with the intuition that appropriation must entail some subjective element and cannot be purely objective. Although subjectivity is traditionally associated with culpability rather than with conduct, it is argued that some acts can be subjective and yet factual and stand as causes to effects. Appropriation is such an act, its necessary and sufficient condition being a mindset, here termed proprietary subjectivity, on the part of the actor. It is argued that clarification of the concept of appropriation can help to resolve misperceived problems. Such clarification will also reveal other problems in the law of theft. Some tentative comments de lege ferenda are made suggesting how these problems can be addressed.     

论公共行政范式的转换与公平效率观的演进

公共行政学自产生以来,经历了传统公共行政范式、新公共行政范式与新公共管理范式相互分立、新公共行政范式与新公共管理范式相互融合三个阶段,呈现出“合——分——合”的态势。而公平效率观也相应地从单纯的效率至上,分裂为新公共行政学派的从公平角度出发寻求公平效率的统一和新公共管理的从效率角度出发寻求公平效率的统一,而最终两种分裂的公平效率观又在新的实践和理论上相互借鉴和整合,走向融合和统一。     

抵押与质押之区分及中国物权法的选择

关于抵押与质押之区分 ,大陆法系主要有三种立法例。我国对抵押与质押关系的处理经历了由《民法通则》的“质”“押”合一到《担保法》的“质”“押”分立的变迁。《担保法》中采取多元化的标准区分抵押与质押 ,担保标的不同 ,抵押与质押的区分标准也各不相同 ,这就造成了若干理论上的困惑和一些实践中的不便。为此 ,有必要以民法典的编撰和物权法的制定为契机 ,对抵押与质押的区分进行重新思考和抉择 ,选取占有方式作为二者区分的标准     

诉讼欺诈行为研究——以刑法为视角的分析

诉讼欺诈是一种独特的危害社会的行为。我国刑法理论和司法实践对诉讼欺诈行为的定性分歧较大。事实上,诉讼欺诈完全符合诈骗罪的本质特征,因而应按诈骗罪定罪量刑。诉讼欺诈行为侵犯双重具体的社会关系,但其直接客体是单一客体。诈骗罪中的被骗人与被害人不必是同一人,但被骗人与财产处分者必须是同一人;在被骗人与被害人不一致的情况下,应当以被骗人为基准来判断处分意思和处分行为。     

论苏区精神

苏区精神是由毛泽东、周恩来、朱德、方志敏等领导培育形成的一种伟大革命精神。其内涵博大精深,归纳起来就是"坚定信念,求真务实,执政为民,艰苦奉献,廉洁奉公,争创第一"。其中最具中央苏区原创特色的是"求真务实、执政为民、廉洁自律、争创第一"。它是中国革命精神史上的一座不朽丰碑,是中华民族优良传统的重要组成部分,是井冈山精神在苏区时期的深化和发展,是长征精神、延安精神的先河和源泉,在中国革命精神链条中是不可或缺的重要一环。大力弘扬苏区精神,具有重要的现实意义和深远的历史意义。     

民事执行的检察监督

要实现司法改革的目标,人民法院和人民检察院的司法改革应当齐头并进。目前,人民检察院的民事行政监督工作有很多困难,对民事执行工作的监督还没有开展,文章分析了其中原因,以中外检察制度的本质区别为突破口,论证了加强民事执行监督的必要性和法理依据,并对监督的范围和方式等具体问题阐明了作者的观点。     

犯罪国际化的动因及特点

全球化背景下世界的开放性为犯罪的国际化提供了方便，各国法律、政策的差异性刺激了犯罪的国际化，现代技术的广泛应用为犯罪的国际化提供了技术支持．全球化引起的“失范状态”加剧了犯罪国际化的倾向。全球化形势下犯罪国际化是以计算机网络信息技术为其主要手段、以有组织犯罪为其主要形态、以毒品犯罪和洗钱犯罪为其典型犯罪类型并以黑社会性质的犯罪为其主要发展趋势的。     

To block or not to block: European approaches to content regulation,and implications for freedom of expression

Based on the limited effectiveness of state laws, and lack of harmonization at international level a number of states started to introduce policies to block access to Internet content and websites deemed illegal which are situated outside their legal jurisdiction. However, blocking policies are not always subject to due process principles, decisions are not necessarily taken by the courts of law, and often administrative bodies or Internet hotlines run by the private sector decide which content or website should be subject to blocking. Therefore, increasingly, the compatibility of blocking action is questioned with regards to the fundamental right of freedom of expression. This article assesses significant developments at the pan-European level with regards to the development, and implementation of Internet content blocking policies. Adaptation of content blocking policies from certain member states of both the European Union and the Council of Europe will be used to assess the nature and implementation of access blocking policies. It will be argued that there could be a breach of Article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights if blocking measures or filtering tools are used at state level to silence politically motivated speech on the Internet.     

论群体性事件预防与治安基层基础建设

当前,我国正处于经济转轨的社会转型时期。在这样的背景下,一些社会矛盾经特定诱因激活,就可能引发群体性事件。政府应在群体性事件爆发之前做好矛盾的发现与化解、诱因的消除工作。公安机关要有效地预防群体性事件,就必须夯实基层基础,做好人员、经费、装备、信息和工作预案等五方面工作。     

侦审阻断机制初探

为实现审判中心主义,必须抑制侦查对审判的影响,通过一定诉讼机制,实行侦审阻断。在我国刑事诉讼中,由于侦审阻断机制不健全,导致侦查中心主义,庭审流于形式化、走过场。应借鉴域外两大法系的做法,正确理解侦审阻断的概念与法理,完善我国侦审阻断机制。
