检察机关以非公诉方式参与民事诉讼刍议

以支持起诉、监督起诉和刑事附带民事诉讼为表现形式的非公诉方式是检察机关以非公诉方式参与民事诉讼的适当方式,它既有现实需要的必要性,又有理论上的正当性。在确定检察机关参与民事诉讼的范围时,一定要把握保护国家利益和公共利益的需要这一基本原则,在参与方式上注意其自身的形式和程序要求。     

陪审团在死刑案件中适用的价值分析

死刑案件作为最严重的案件,作为关涉公民生命权的案件,它的审判是我们在构建正当法律程序时需要关注的重点。文章以价值分析为主视角,从哲学思辨和实证分析入手,提出在我国的死刑案件中引入陪审团审判,以构建强大的死刑案件普通审程序之设想,试图通过在死刑案件中引入陪审团审判,扩大刑事司法中的民众参与和司法民主,促进司法公正和社会正义之实现。     

Color separation in forensic image processing

In forensic image processing, it is often important to be able to separate a feature from an interfering background or foreground, or to demonstrate colors within an image to be different from each other. In this study, a color deconvolution algorithm that could accomplish this task is described, and it is applied to color separation problems in document and fingerprint examination. Subtle color differences (sometimes invisible to the naked eye) are found to be sufficient, which is demonstrated successfully for several cases where color differences were shown to exist, or where colors were removed from the foreground or background. The software is available for free in the form of an Adobe Photoshop-compatible plug-in.     

A simple microthermal desorption device

A new method for thermal desorption of small samples is presented. The method uses a solid phase microextraction (SPME) holder with the fiber removed. The sample-for example, an ink sample on paper-is simply placed inside the needle of the holder, where normally an SPME fiber is positioned. The thermal desorption is then performed on any kind of gas chromatograph in a manner similar to that for SPME analysis. The needle of the SPME holder penetrates the injector septum; the temperature of the thermal desorption is simply the temperature of the injector. No solvents or liquid nitrogen cooling are used. The paper sample is kept inside the holder needle during the analysis. After the analysis is completed, the sample is removed from the needle by pushing forward the steel wire inside the needle in the way normally used to perform sampling with the SPME fiber. The desorbed compounds were analyzed by gas chromatography with a flame ionization detector or by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The optimum temperature for desorption of ink samples on paper was 200 degrees C. The influence of the paper matrix is negligible at that temperature. Laboratories lacking the commercial device for thermal desorption can use this cheap device for the analysis of, for example, writing ink, printing ink, and inkjet ink samples on paper. Other types of samples can be investigated but the size of samples suitable for analysis is limited.     

我国《刑事诉讼法》中“预审”问题研究

预审制度在我国经历了曲折的发展历程,1997年公安部决定实行侦审合一以后,少数公安机关仍然坚持侦审分离,有些公安机关恢复或正在恢复独立的预审机构,<刑事诉讼法>正面临再次修改,应将预审制度保留,并进一步强化预审的职能.     

关于检察文化建设的几点思考

检察文化是检察机关在长期法律监督实践和管理活动中逐步形成的与中国特色社会主义检察制度相关的思想观念、职业精神、道德规范、行为方式以及相关载体和物质表现的总和,加强检察文化建设对于推动检察事业的科学发展意义重大。文中从牢牢把握检察文化建设的核心和正确方向、始终坚持突出检察文化建设的重点、加强检察文化建设的途径等方面进行了深入探讨。     

羁押必要性之检察审查制度的程序构建

检察审查羁押必要性的适用对象是修正后的刑事诉讼法第79条第一款的被羁押者。审查程序的启动可以是检察机关依据职权审查,也可以是依据被羁押者或其近亲属、法定代理人、其委托的辩护律师申请而进行审查。间隔性审查的期限以60日为宜。审查的方式是对席制和书面调查制,根据不同的方式采取不同的程序。检察审查后作出的无羁押必要的决定应该具有程序效力,但修正后的刑事诉讼法并没有规定该决定的程序执行效力。这在以后的司法实践中可能出现羁押必要性审查制度虚置的现象。     

民事抗诉制度的尴尬

2007年修改的《民事诉讼法》及相关司法解释未从根本上完善民事抗诉制度。法学界关于民事抗诉制度的争论一直未达成共识。制度缺陷和理论争辩使民事抗诉制度陷于存与废的纠结之中。民事抗诉制度仍有存续的必要;强化之路在于民事抗诉权与刑事检察权的有机结合。     

土地征收审批的正当程序改革

程序正当是土地征收理应遵循的原则,实践中的改革已使报批前的准备阶段包含正当程序要素,然而公告之前的征收审批是否也应遵循该原则却有争议。征收审批内部程序运作的技术性设置不能改变其具体行政行为的属性,而其在实质上还具有对土地权利变动进行裁决的功能。征收审批的行为属性和功能属性理论上均要求引入正当程序。现行征收审批是由申请机关单方主宰信息的封闭决策过程,这导致审批机关缺乏第三方信息对报批材料进行验证。提高审批实效的要求呼唤引入正当程序作为信息传导机制。审批机关可利用拟被征收人表达异议或抗辩的信息弥补无法观测到申请机关行为的局限,增强对报批材料的核实能力。     

检察机关案件管理机制之法理探讨

检察机关案件管理机制的建立是检察机关创新工作思路、转变工作方式、改革工作体制的一项重要内容,使检察机关执法办案行为更加规范化、合法化,提高案件办理质量和效率,提升执法公信力。为了进一步规范执法办案行为,强化检察内部监督,有必要对案件管理机制从法经济学和法理学两个层面进行探讨,以使其运行能确保检察权的良性运行。
