互联网著作权侵权案件管辖问题浅析

互联网著作权案件是网络时代产生的新型侵权案件 ,对传统侵权案件的管辖规则提出了挑战。最高人民法院为此颁布了《关于审理涉及计算机网络著作权纠纷案件适用法律若干问题的解释》 ,该《解释》的第一条就明确规定了管辖问题。该《解释》确立了新的管辖规则 ,解决了司法实践中的一个难题 ,对确立其他类型的互联网侵权案件的管辖具有一定的指导意义 ,但也存在一些不足之处。     

住宅搜查的程序正义：美国最高法院伦道夫案述评

以伦道夫案为契机,美国最高法院宣示了其在犯罪嫌疑人权利保护方面的最新立场,自由主义大法官完成了"第三人同意无证搜查住宅"法律体系的建构,认为如果犯罪嫌疑人当场拒绝警方进入其私人住宅,即使合法的第三人同意无证搜查,警方的侦查行为对于犯罪嫌疑人来说仍然是无效的、不合理的。但保守主义大法官提出了强有力的反对意见,认为犯罪嫌疑人与他人分享住宅的事实意味着该特定空间内的所有权益均可由任意一方处分,第三人同意警方搜查有罪证据是犯罪嫌疑人必须承担的风险。其刑事诉讼法律思想的合理内核可兹中国修改刑事诉讼法借鉴。我国刑事诉讼法应当规定,只要对住宅享有共同权利的第三人同意警方搜查犯罪嫌疑人的住宅,警方所获得的证据就能够对犯罪嫌疑人产生证据效力。     

科学发展观下的四川藏区公安刑侦改革研究

深入学习实践科学发展观,具体到刑事侦查工作,根本目标就是推动刑侦工作又好又快发展,把刑侦工作纳入科学发展的轨道上来,最终提高刑侦民警履职尽责的能力和水平。当前四川藏区公安工作主要存在责任区刑警队与派出所运行机制不畅、基层警力严重缺乏等突出问题。藏区公安机关应当建立覆盖社会面的责任区刑警队,加强责任区刑警队与派出所的协作配合,将科学发展观与公安刑侦改革相结合,通过改革引领刑侦工作,最终全面提升公安机关打击和预防犯罪的整体水平。     

对"迁徙自由入宪"的反思

迁徙自由是现代公民的一项基本权利,已得到国际社会的普遍认同.长期以来,除了在个别历史阶段,我国法律对迁徙自由基本上采取限制的态度,这与我国的经济体制及市民社会的缺失有关,随着市场经济的发展及市民社会的发育,要求迁徙自由入宪的呼声日益高涨.但是在宪法上承认迁徙自由与现实中完全实现迁徙自由是有区别的,从应有权利到法定权利的转变不是一时就能实现,迁徙自由的实现有赖于相关制度的完善及市场经济的成熟.基于目前的情况,我国现行宪法中没有规定迁徙自由.     

住所与国籍的冲突与调和

在国际私法领域,属人法是解决法律冲突,确定准据法的一个重要系属公式.但属人法的本国法和住所地法的理解,使得国籍与住所两个连结点产生矛盾和冲突,也产生了大陆法系本国法主义和英美法系住所地法主义的纷争.在当今国际社会中,国籍与住所的调和已成为一种趋势,而惯常居所连结点取代国籍和住所日益成为矛盾解决的积极措施.     

论我国宅基地使用权流转制度的完善

我国对宅基地使用权采取的是有限制流转的做法,并且严格禁止农村居民的住宅和宅基地在城乡居民之间流转：这是由我国宅基地使用权的用益物权性和社会保障性决定的。随着我国经济的发展,现行的宅基地使用权流转制度已不合时宜,建议我国建立宅基地使用权有偿、有期限制度,完善宅基地使用权登记制度,逐步放宽宅基地使用权的流转。     

Voting home or abroad? Comparing migrants' electoral participation in countries of origin and of residence

The political participation of immigrants has received increased scholarly attention over recent decades. However, comparisons between the electoral behavior of immigrants in their countries of origin and of residence are still limited. This article addresses this gap in the literature and seeks to identify the determinants of Romanian immigrants’ electoral participation in the local elections of four West European countries (Germany, France, Italy, and Spain) as compared to their turnout in their home country's legislative elections. Looking through the lenses of exposure theory, we hypothesize that contact with institutions, people, and values from the countries of residence are likely to have different effects in the two types of elections. We test the explanatory power of four main variables – time spent in the host country, social networks, degree of involvement in the local community, and the type of relationship with citizens of their host countries – to which we add a series of individual-level controls such as age, education, gender, and media exposure. To assess our claim, we employ binary logistic regression to analyze original web survey data collected in the summer of 2013. The result supports the empirical implications of exposure theory.     

The Social and Geographic Patterns of Sexual Offending: Is Sex Offender Residence Restriction Legislation Practical?

The development of sex offender residence restriction legislation was predicated on the assumption that sex offenders pose an increased risk to the public. The goal of such legislation was to create “sex-offender-free” zones in an effort to decrease sex offenders’ access to potential victims. Such legislation prohibits registered sex offenders from residing near landmarks where children are known to congregate. Empirical evidence thus far has failed to demonstrate that residing near these landmarks contributes to sex offenders’ ability to access victims, and may actually be doing more harm than good. The current study questions the rationale behind the implementation of residence restrictions and if this rationale is consistent with the realities of victim selection and sexual offending among incarcerated sex offenders. The sample consisted of 270 males incarcerated in a New Jersey correctional facility. The results demonstrate that most sex offenders resided within a 2,500-foot restricted landmark zone. However, after examining the methods sex offenders used and examining how far they traveled to meet or establish contact with their victims, residing near restricted landmarks did not contribute to victim selection. Of the 270 sex offenders, the offense patterns consistent with many residence restrictions were applicable to less than 1%.     

Understanding Impact in Policy Advisory Systems: The Australian Case of the “Thinker in Residence”

The dynamics of policy advice giving in a policy advisory system (PAS) is complex, multifaceted, and relational. Research on policy advice has shifted from a “first wave” to a “second wave” that places a greater focus on the dynamics of PASs. This article expands our understanding of the impact of advice giving in a PAS by developing a framework that integrates supply, demand, content, and contextual factors. This article introduces a new type of policy actor (the “thinker in residence”) to better understand the relational dynamics of a PAS and compare why some actors achieve greater impact than others.
