Getting Caught and Getting Hitched: An Assessment of the Relationship Between Police Intervention,Life Chances,and Romantic Unions

Little research has assessed the link between formal police intervention, financial hardship, and the formation and quality of romantic relationships. Using data from the Rochester Youth Development Study, we contribute to this literature by examining effects of police intervention at two time points on marriage stability and romantic relationship quality. We find that police intervention during adolescence is associated with increases in financial hardship during young adulthood, which, in turn, decreases the odds of entering into a stable marriage by age 31 and the extent to which those who have a romantic relationship feel their partner is supportive. Early police intervention also is indirectly associated with a reduction in partner satisfaction and an increase in partner violence via young adult arrest. We conclude that even minimally invasive contact with the criminal justice system during adolescence has long-lasting collateral consequences in the family arena.     

MIS‐MATCHED: TAKING A STATE APPROACH TO ENFORCING THE GROWING INTERNATIONAL MATCHMAKING INDUSTRY

Each year, hundreds of U.S. men and foreign women find their future spouses through international matchmaking agencies. Foreign women are attracted to the opportunity for a life in America and men are offered money‐back guarantees to find the perfect wife. An alarming number of these unions however, have resulted in the abuse, exploitation and even death of foreign women at the hands of their U.S. citizen husbands. While the federal International Marriage Broker Regulation Act requires disclosure of a male client's criminal background history prior to communicating with a potential foreign bride, the Act does not impose any requirements for disclosure of information about the international marriage brokers themselves. Thus the peddlers behind the rapidly growing industry are largely unaccounted for, with no one really knowing who they are or where they are operating. This Note proposes that states fill the enforcement gap by adopting a statute requiring international marriage brokers to register and become certified to do business with state residents. This legislation will result in collecting much needed data on international marriage brokers, create more transparency in the international matchmaking industry and prevent potential violence and abuse of foreign women.     

离婚的财产法后果：批评性评析和欧洲前景展望

离婚后扶养、净益补偿和养老金补偿是德国离婚财产法补偿制度的三大支柱。近年来,这三大制度都经历了不同程度的修订和改革。这些改革在净益和养老金补偿方面产生了对离婚以后的经济负担合理分配的结果,但是在扶养法领域改革却发生了相反的影响,照顾子女的妇女所遭受的不利益没有得到足够的补偿。2010年2月4日签署的德法协定提供了一个适用于德法跨国婚姻的统一夫妻财产制规则。这一跨国的统一实体法规则可能为未来欧洲统一婚姻法提供了蓝本。     

政府购买社会工作服务模式探讨——以灾难性突发事件精神救助为例

灾难性突发事件精神救助要充分发挥社会工作的功能,必须依赖政府公共管理的体制认可和财政支持,为社会工作介入灾难性突发事件精神救助活动提供途径和模式。根据国内外相关的理论探讨和实务经验,政府购买是适应新时期灾难性突发事件精神救助需要的社会工作服务模式。因此,我们必须有效转变现有的公共管理体制模式,发展授权委托、直接资助、服务合同以及补贴模式,并加强对政府购买社会工作服务的评估与监管。
