Strengthening Public-Private Partnerships in State Child Welfare Systems: Results of a Multi-State Strategic Planning Process

Dramatic growth in health and human service contracting over the past two decades has increased the need for managerial competency in the development and sustainment of effective cross-sector partnerships. Although the quality of relations between partnering agencies can affect client outcomes, few macro-level interventions for strengthening cross-sector partnerships have been described or tested in the literature. This article describes a facilitated, strategic planning process implemented in five different states and presents pre-post test results of its effect on different factors known to affect partnership success. Implications for child welfare administrative practice and research are discussed.     

Implementing Developmental Screening Programs for Infants and Toddlers in the Child Welfare System

In 2003, revisions to the Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act required states to develop plans to refer children younger than 3 years of age with a substantiated case of abuse and neglect for developmental screening. A decade after legislation was passed, its implementation varies considerably across states. This article explains how research informs the need for careful developmental monitoring of young children, especially those experiencing trauma or living under stressful conditions. Finally, this article presents how one community used colocation to increase developmental screenings for young abused and neglected children.     

Introduction: The OECD and Policy Transfer: Comparative Case Studies

Abstract

The six articles in this issue examine the role of the OECD in policy transfer. Two articles (Kudrle on international tax agreements, and Legrand and Vas on Australia’s vocational and educational training policy) conclude that the OECD has been influential, albeit in a grinding and lengthy way. Two others (Clifton on the OECD’s “enhanced engagement” policy with five G-20 countries, and Eccleston and Woodward on tax transparency) find the OECD’s influence either patchier or even dysfunctional. Carroll’s article provides a novel analysis of policy transfer through accession processes, while Alasuutari explores transfer in terms of a comparative analysis of policy rationalizations that refer to the OECD as a “standard.” A common theme of all six articles is the way in which policy transfer is driven by exogenous pressures and crises, and how international governmental organizations like the OECD exploit these pressures to protect and expand their global relevance.     

论我国涉恐资产冻结法律制度之发展性思考

涉恐资产冻结是金融反恐的重要组成部分,对于防治恐怖活动犯罪具有重大意义。随着反恐法治的逐步完善,我国确立了以金融制裁为目的的涉恐资产冻结制度。相关法律对涉恐资产、金融机构等概念进行了精细化的界定,明确了相关主体的法律责任,遵守了正当程序的相关要求并且注重加强国际合作。但是,我国涉恐资产冻结法律应当进一步注重相关法律制度之间的衔接,协调好涉恐资产冻结与其他保全措施之间的关系,同时应当注重涉恐资产冻结中的权利保障,以便有效地防治恐怖活动犯罪。     

论惩治恐怖活动犯罪的国际刑事司法合作

有效防治恐怖活动犯罪离不开国际刑事司法合作。出于打击恐怖活动犯罪的目的,国际社会对于恐怖活动犯罪排除适用政治犯不引渡原则。打击恐怖活动犯罪还需在联合侦查、情报交流与信息合作、案件文书送达等方面开展司法协助。在国际刑事司法协助中有必要建立刑事诉讼移转管辖的司法合作制度,以便于各国之间加强反恐合作,更加有效地打击恐怖活动犯罪。     

经济组织与纠纷自决——以两个企业为例的分析

作为成本低廉的纠纷解决方式,自决是各型经济组织的首选。诉讼在多数情况下只是一种不得已的选择。而同时,由于企业规模以及各自经济实力等差异,纠纷的自我解决形式表现出明显的差异。反思经济组织自决机制的本质,既表现一定的伦理性,也呈现某种反伦理特征;就其与诉讼机制的关系而论,则既存有竞争,也有同一关系。     

美国反网络恐怖活动的情报工作及对我国的启示

网络恐怖活动具有成本低廉、破坏广泛、技术性高、隐蔽性强等特点。美国在反网络恐怖活动的情报工作中采取了完善情报立法、构建网络式结构反恐情报体系、大力开展网络侦查等一系列情报对策．构建了强大的国家安全屏障。在我国,防范和打击网络恐怖活动一方面要树立信息时代的新威胁观与安全观．另一方面则可借鉴美国反网络恐怖活动情报工作的经验。     

关于油田基层企业文化建设的思考

油田基层企业文化建设是整个油田企业文化建设的具体化,也是其文化建设的着力点和落脚点。但是,当前油田部分基层企业在企业文化建设过程中,存在着表面化、空想化、偏离化、僵硬化、政治化、文体化等错误倾向,正成为制约企业发展的重要因素。对基层企业文化建设中的这些误区及其产生原因进行科学剖析,并在此基础上对油田基层企业文化建设的路径进行深入探析,积极构建起充满向心力、执行力、感召力和创造力的油田基层企业文化,以基层文化建设推动整个油田企业文化建设水平提升,形成上层引导与基层推动的良性互动,从而实现整个油田的健康、快速、持续发展。     

恐怖犯罪的犯罪经济学分析

犯罪经济学的理论认为,人的犯罪行为同其他行为一样。是在理性的指导下进行的,都是得失关系和效用理性选择的结果,恐怖犯罪的犯罪嫌疑人也是在综合分析该行为的成本收益之后才实施恐怖犯罪的。恐怖犯罪的成本包括：时间机会成本;惩罚成本;物质成本。恐怖犯罪收益是指从犯罪活动中所获得的利益,可以是精神的。也可以是物质的。在恐怖犯罪中,一般是为了获取经济收益以达到其政治目的。犯罪人之所以选择恐怖．其根本原因就是恐怖主义可以得到经济以及政治上的“暴利”。
