交通肇事后报警并保护事故现场能否认定为自首——从某省高院的意见谈起

道路交通安全法规定的"逃逸"不同于交通肇事罪的"逃逸",未履行该行政法义务未必都属于"交通肇事逃逸"。自首是被告人的权利,自首的认定应严格按照刑法要求,不能以其他法律法规的义务性规定为由而不予适用,交通肇事后报警并保护事故现场并如实供述的,应认定为自首。自首是可选的从宽量刑情节,并非必须适用。自首的认定与自首的量刑不能混同。     

正当立法程序生成的伦理机理

立法程序是一种宪法性法律程序,因而,对其生成机理的探讨,必须立基民主宪政的大背景,在正当法律程序如何生成的视域中进行。在对当今流行的四种程序正义论模式进行学理检讨之后,我们不难发现,"真理一致论"是正当法律程序的最佳分析工具。真理一致论中的立法程序,既要求形成合意基础上的主体间性,即有着不同利益需求和价值取向的公民作相互的交流、表达、妥协,以及基于此上而形成的一致性意见;又要求形成主客体间的相互吻合性,即用以指导立法者运作立法权的建基于主体间性的价值观念以及法律所欲表达和实现的具体价值目标,都必须符合客观的社会和法的历史与逻辑发展规律。事实上,依托于这一伦理机理而生成的正当立法程序,其与人类生活目的及价值的实现具有直接的内在一致性。     

论公平正义在构建和谐社会中的地位

公平正义是建设社会主义和谐社会的核心价值。从公平正义是解决社会主义初级阶段主要矛盾的现实要求，是社会主义和谐社会中主体需要的价值实现以及是社会主义社会的本质要求等方面。可以看出公平正义在和谐社会六个基本特征中处于基础性的重要层面，对其他本质特征起着支配、规定和约束的作用。     

儒家义利观及其当代价值

儒家重义轻利,但并不否定利,是否重利,要根据＂人＂与＂利＂的具体情况而定,儒家义利观在今天具有很强的现实意义。儒家＂利不可去＂的主张,启示我们：要充分肯定人基本的利益需求,而不是相反。儒家＂以义节利＂的做法,启示我们：必须在道德规范的框架内追求利益,而不是唯利是图。儒家＂灭人欲＂的激进主张,启示我们：人类的欲望是无止境的,在相对稀缺的物质资源面前,我们必须懂得节制自己的欲望。     

少年司法中“宽严相济”刑事政策的应用——赵某、钱某故意伤害致人死亡一案的评析

青少年犯罪现象与日俱增，已经成为全社会共同关注的焦点问题。如何正确对待犯罪的青少年，怎样感化、引导他们，使他们重新回归社会、回归家庭，是司法工作人员所要面对的重要课题。在刑事审判中，要以法官为主导，正确贯彻“宽严相济”的刑事司法政策，通过个案达到法律效果和社会效果的统一，使“宽严相济”的刑事司法政策在构建社会主义和谐社会中发挥应有的作用。     

关于"正义"的法哲学研究

法律应体现正义,对此应作出法哲学的历史考察。研究表明,对"正义"的追问必触及到其中关于"程序"与"伦理"的内在矛盾。要强调,"程序正义""伦理正义"的合理性,共同构成"法律合法性"的基础。总之,应当立足实际建设体现"程序正义""伦理正义"相统一的"正义之法"。

Alternative South–South development collaboration? The role of China in the Coega Special Economic Zone in South Africa

Aid, in the form of financial aid and investment, has become increasingly prevalent in both bilateral and multilateral partnerships in the BRICS. In Africa, the Forum on China–Africa Cooperation provides the official framings for forms of development assistance to the continent, with financial forms of aid available through the New Development Bank and the China–Africa Development Bank (CADFund). This article explores how Chinese international development assistance has influenced South Africa's economic growth and development strategies and is reshaping South Africa as “gateway” to Africa and continental leader. Special economic zones (SEZs) have become a prioritised form of BRICS development collaboration particularly in terms of Chinese trade and investment expansionism into Africa through South Africa. Chinese international development assistance and foreign direct investment in South Africa in particular are very notable and have been strengthened during the Chinese official state visit prior to the Johannesburg BRICS Summit in 2018. The article critically analyses the development policy discourse on BRICS spearheading an alternative model of South–South international cooperation by examining the Coega SEZ in South Africa, hailed as the most SEZ in Africa. The article critically examines the development alternative potential of the Coega SEZ.     

Restraining Gulliver: Institutional reform and the strengthening of state capacity and compliance

Governance in the developing world is fraught with problems of corruption, weak institutions, and inadequate expertise among bureaucrats. Failing to enforce laws and regulations is one way in which these problems manifest themselves. In this paper, we evaluate changes across three institutions charged with oversight or administration of labor justice in Mexico. We find that both autonomy from the executive and professionalization are necessary to improve compliance with labor law over time. Our study shows that professionalization can occur in several ways, including through training, merit hiring, and introducing experienced external administrators. The implications of the study are that reforms that increase the independence and legal authority of oversight institutions should be complemented by efforts to strengthen the professionalism of bureaucrats.     

RemoteForensicCSI: Enriching teaching,training and learning through networking and timely CPD

The COVID-19 pandemic brought about rapid, transformational change to pedagogic practice on a global scale. During this time, educators across all levels needed to significantly broaden and upskill their digital skills and competence to instantaneously turn face-2-face content into remote, online provision, particularly during periods of national lockdown. Whilst there was significant e-content available in some subject domains, there were limited e-resources available to those working within the criminal justice sector. The #RemoteForensicCSI network was established in attempts to fill this gap and support both practitioner and learner transition within further and higher education and industry.This article evaluates the value and impact that the #RemoteForensicCSI initiative had on the personal development of network participants, their peers and learners, whilst considering, reflecting on and recommending how remote delivery may influence the future of teaching, training and learning within education and the wider criminal justice sector.
