论测谎结论的证据价值

测谎技术的产生时间并不长,但其在诉讼活动中的应用却日趋增多,对测谎结论的证据价值的争议也开始在法学界显现。在我国,应以与时俱进的态度看待测谎结论,在了解测谎技术科学性的基础上,将测谎结论设定为鉴定结论形式中的"有限采用"辅助证据,从而更好地为司法实践提供帮助。     

Déjà vu! The effect of previewing test items on the validity of the Concealed Information polygraph Test

Abstract

This research compares resident, peer and staff reports of bullying and victimization in one open facility and one secure facility for young offenders. The prevalence of bullies and victims was higher according to resident reports (self-reports) than according to peer or staff reports. There was significant agreement between residents, peers, and staff in identifying bullies and victims. The majority of bullies and victims identified by peers and/or staff were also identified by self-reports. Making the plausible assumption that bullies and victims tend to be concealed, it is concluded that self-reports (in the context of an individual interview) provide the most reliable and valid information about bullies and victims in young offender institutions. Hence, anti-bullying strategies should be based on self-report data.     

A case study of a male sex offender with zoosexual interests and behaviours

Abstract

This paper reviews assessment, treatment and supervision issues in relation to a high-risk, borderline functioning, male sex offender with zoosexual interests and behaviours. Mr Z was convicted of multiple sexual offences including rape, indecent assault and indecent exposure as well as actual and threatened bodily harm. He was convicted for two counts of attempted buggery of horses and he received a Probation Order to engage in group and individual work, as deemed appropriate. Significant treatment challenges emerged due to his cognitive/intellectual difficulties, coping problems (including anger management issues) and dissimulation. Further, continuing evidence of high-risk behaviours associated with his index offence as well as previously identified patterns of offending were reported. Ongoing concerns prompted a referral for a polygraph examination to gain additional information about Mr Z's offence history and to achieve a better understanding of his treatment needs. These findings are discussed and specific attention is focused on Mr Z's zoosexual behaviours.     

犯罪心理测试反测试及其对策

犯罪心理测试技术是在甄别嫌疑人过程中使用的测谎方法.但由于测试中的原理机制等问题,反测试手段可以以多种方式对测过程和测试结果进行干扰.加强犯罪心理测试中的监控并提高反测试识别技术,可以较好地应对测试中出现的反测试.反测试的出现本身就是逃避测试的表现,一旦发现被测人存在反测试行为或心理,则应重点对其进行调查.随着新技术的发展,脑电测试结合测谎范式进行检测有了一定的研究基础,为今后的测谎方式提供了更多的选择.     

侦查终结证明标准的解读与释疑

当前对侦查终结概念的理解存在一定偏差。根据刑事诉讼法的相关规定,公安机关侦查终结的案件并非只能移送检察机关审查起诉,撤销案件同样应当成为侦查终结的可能处理结果之一。2012年《刑事诉讼法》吸收了早前司法解释对证明标准引入主观性的做法,将"排除合理怀疑"正式规定为判断"证据确实、充分"的法定条件之一,这对公安机关正确理解和准确把握侦查终结证明标准提出了新的要求和挑战。"事实清楚,证据确实、充分"这一证明标准是主客观相结合的产物,不论是认知差异的客观存在,还是证据发现的走向纵深,都不应当成为否定其作为侦查终结证明标准的正当理由。     

刑事鉴定存在的问题及其规则研究

关于刑事鉴定的问题已受到人们越来越多的关注。这不仅是因为作为刑事证据之一的鉴定结论对法官的裁判活动 ,心证的形成 ,对当事人双方主张的确认都有着关键有时甚至是决定性的作用 ,更因为我国目前的鉴定制度、鉴定体制存在严重缺陷 ,它已给人们带来比法官裁判不公更令人感到不公正的痛苦。对刑事鉴定有关问题进行研究以及立法就鉴定问题作出必要的完善 ,已是迫在眉睫。     

论鉴定结论冲突

鉴定结论冲突是指鉴定结论之间存在不一致性 ,相互对立排斥或者相互干扰。鉴定结论的冲突从某种程度上影响了诉讼的正常进行 ,但考察其机理 ,又存在着某种必然性 ,是一种多元因素的产物。因此 ,对待鉴定结论冲突应该本着多元考虑的原则 ,冷静对待 ,通过规范法官的心证 ,制定相应的证明责任规则来规范 ,而不能简单的预定效力。同时应该针对其机理 ,采取必要的预防措施 ,避免其对诉讼的不良影响。     

测谎结论证据能力问题研究

测谎技术和活动已经在世界范围内被广泛认可和应用，自80年代起测谎技术就在我国侦查活动中得到广泛应用，发挥了侦查导向、查找线索、提高破案率等巨大作用。但是测谎结论的法律地位问题却一直没有得到解决，理论界争论不已，而且现有司法解释的规定也存在问题。应该充分认识测试技术科学有效性，肯定测谎结论的证据能力，待条件成熟时将其纳入科学证据体系。

侦查终结报告制作中的问题与对策

目前的侦结报告存在着重有罪轻无罪、重综述轻论证、重实体轻程序以及随意性较大等问题,侦结报告应在实体方面加强对有罪事实、无罪事实以及量刑情节事实的关注和程序方面对强制措施、告知义务以及赃款赃物情况的进一步充实以及通过对侦结报告的科学设计,促进侦查工作质量的提高.
