The wild (white) ones: comparing frames of white and black deviance

In this case study, I establish how a racial privilege shields whites from being framed as deviant by using two racially segregated motorcycle rallies as a naturalistic experiment. I conduct a content analysis of reader posts to online newspaper stories about the biker events (which regularly include deviance) and discover the bikers, their behaviors, and the proposed community reactions are framed in nearly opposite ways. Posters attribute a ‘white innocence’ to white bikers, framing them as upper class exemplars of American Individualism who temporarily suspend their morality during the rally by drinking, exposing their nude bodies, and ignoring newly passed laws, banning loud mufflers, and requiring helmets. Posters claim these unpleasant, although non-dangerous forms of deviance can be ignored, overlooked, and even celebrated as defiant acts against authority. The white innocence can appear racially innocuous until compared to the perception of black bikers who engage in similar behaviors at their rally but are framed as underclass criminals who attend the rally to steal and murder. This reveals how a usually unseen privilege shields whites from entanglements with the criminal justice system, as posters also call for further policing of racial minorities.     

契约行政之行政主体特权责任论析

行政合同特权责任是行政主体在契约行政过程中因违法或不当行使行政合同特权而引起的兼具行政属性与契约内涵的特殊行政责任形式。其基本构成要件为责任主体、主观过错、客观行为以及行为与损害之间的因果关系。这一责任形态在行政合同的缔结阶段、履行阶段以及后契约阶段均可存在。其主要责任形式为继续履行、赔偿损失、补偿金以及作为特殊补充责任形式的违约金,但违约金责任的适用应作严格规则控制。
