Linking self- and social control with deviance: Illuminating the structure underlying a general theory of crime and its relation to deviant activity

The present paper operationalizes and empirically tests the most recent theoretical speculations of Hirschi and Gottfredson regarding an individual level characteristic of self-control and its relation to earlier specifications of control theory as well as the literature on personality. Linkages are drawn between their broad delineation of self-control and personal disorders of hyperactivity, impulsivity, attention deficits, and minor conduct problems. Psychologists disagree about whether such disorders represent single or multiple traits and whether both behavioral and cognitive measures can appropriately depict personality characteristics. Employing structural equation techniques, support for several propositions derived from Gottfredson and Hirschi's thesis is found: Self-control subsumes several personality disorders and is significantly comprised by early behavioral indicators of aggression and fighting, is inversely related to other elements of the social bond, is moderately stable over a short period of time, and significantly predicts criminal convictions. However, questions remain regarding the ubiquity of self-control, the magnitude and meaning of stability, and the power of this perspective to explain all forms of self-reported delinquency.     

契约伦理价值与权利走向

权利是以伦理为基础的,伦理的价值原则对权利具有十分重要的引导作用。契约伦理蕴涵着生存、自由、平等和宽容四个重要的价值原则并构成由低到高的价值序列。与作为根基的生存原则相对应的底线伦理构成了权利的生成机理,并在此基础上达成权利的基本共识。以生存原则为起点的自由原则、平等原则、宽容原则自觉地向底线伦理回归并各自引导出庞大的权利体系构成了权利的基本走向。     

Independence Day as a Cosmopolitan Moment: Teaching International Relations

This essay expands upon a teaching approach that I used in my introductory international relations (IR) course for three semesters prior to September 11, 2001. The vast majority of the curriculum of the course is read through Independence Day , a 1996 blockbuster Hollywood film. Beginning with the film and the concept of world order it arguably provides through a fictional moment of world peace (or hegemony, depending how one interprets the leading role of the U.S. in the film and the significance of the Fourth of July holiday as the world's Independence Day, hence ID4 ) students are able to understand several key concepts in IR theory, as well as the major paradigms of IR thought that I present to them. ID4 presents the viewer with the IR field's two great mythological narratives, realism and idealism, and preserves the notion of the nation-state as the predominant actor and unit of analysis for understanding world history and key events in that history.     

猪生殖与呼吸综合征病毒和猪圆环病毒2型共感染对猪外周血天然免疫细胞含量的影响

将猪生殖与呼吸综合征病毒(PRRSV)和猪圆环病毒2型(PCV2)单感染和共感染的6周龄仔猪,于感染前和感染后第3、7和10 d,采用血常规法、SWC3a单色流式细胞术以及CD3/CD4/CD8三色流式细胞术分析了感染猪外周血中白细胞、粒细胞、单核细胞、NK细胞、γδT细胞的含量。结果,感染后第3 d和第7 d,PRRSV感染组、PCV2感染组以及PRRSV+PCV2共感染组猪的白细胞、单核细胞、粒细胞、NK细胞、γδT细胞总数显著下降,并且共感染组比单感染组下降更加严重。结果表明,PRRSV+PCV2共感染对仔猪外周血天然免疫细胞的影响具有协同效应,意味着在感染早期可导致更加严重的先天免疫抑制。     

论无效劳动合同之确认

无效劳动合同具有自己独特的制度功能与价值取向。法律应当将社会公共利益、第三人利益以及劳动者的合法权益作为判定劳动合同是否有效的一般标准,并据此甄别与清理现行劳动法的相关规定,重新确定无效劳动合同的具体种类。     

社会危害性在犯罪构成理论中的地位探析

目前在刑法学界存在着社会危害性理论备受指责的现象,有的学者甚至认为应将社会危害性逐出我国的犯罪构成理论。这是不科学的。我们应该运用立体动态思维的方式正确分析犯罪概念、犯罪构成与罪刑法定主义的关系,不但要保留社会危害性的地位,更重要的是将其明确作为一个独立的犯罪成立的条件,这样才是对传统犯罪构成理论批判性的发展。

青少年社会工作专业化与职业化初探

青少年社会工作是社会工作学科按照服务对象的年龄特征划分的一个重要种类和实施领域,其职业化和专业化的进程是社会工作职业化和专业化的重要组成部分,也关系到青少年社会工作的发展前途。在充分认识其重要性和客观分析其不足的同时,相关部门和人员要切实行动起来,使青少年社会工作职业化和专业化进程迈出坚实的一步。     

论证券投资基金的法律地位

正确认识证券投资基金的法律地位是进行证券投资基金立法和理论研究的基础。笔者在找出我国理论界对证券投资基金性质及法律地位认识分歧的根源之后,简要论述了公司型基金的法律主体地位,并从投资基金的社会主体性和法律主体性两个层次、事实判断和价值判断两个方面,详细论证了信托型基金的法律地位,指出我国的投资基金立法应从主体角度对信托型基金进行规范,同时希望立法大胆创新,把信托型基金列为与自然人、法人具有平等地位的第三民事主体。
