民事自助行为制度的功能分析及立法选择

自助行为属于私力救济的一种形式,它具有保护利益的特定性、行为的法定性和公力补充性的特征;自助行为制度有利于保护公民的合法权益,降低司法成本,提高司法效率,维护市场经济信用秩序等方面的功能;我国的民事立法中应该引入该制度,以促进我国法制现代化进程。     

论对偷逃过路费行为的预防及法律规制

偷逃过路费行为给高速公路带来巨大损失。通过严格恪守有关公路方面的法律法规、强化公务人员和工作人员依法办事的法律意识、总结惩治偷逃过路通行费经验、建立部门长效联动治逃机制、完善相应的科技手段等措施能够预防偷逃过路费行为的发生。通过行政处罚可以制约伪造标志、证件或者冒用绿通车骗逃行为、强行闯岗(跳车)逃费行为;通过行政处分规制公路收费站工作人员私放车辆行为。行政处罚与行政强制只能由特定的行政机关执行。     

浅论违警罪的概念及其处罚

违警罪既有法律之义又有其犯罪学之义。我国法律研究和法律实践中与违警罪联系最紧密的概念是治安违法行为。虽然违法行为相同,但许多国家对其定性和处罚程序都有所差别。这些差别无不与本国的政治体制、司法体制、行政体制密不可分。随着司法国际化的发展,这种区别也将会在各国间相互影响。     

暴力犯罪的媒体诱因与对策反思——规避模仿示范效应的新路径

媒体对暴力犯罪的不当报道，会对潜在犯罪者起到模仿示范效应。鉴于新闻传媒客观、如实反映事件的职业伦理，其应当于公众知情权与犯罪预防间寻求平衡。但此种平衡未必尽然体现为“冷处理”式的抑制，必要时，在恪守媒体报道“绝对禁区”的前提下，适度地对特定暴力犯罪予以“热处理”，不仅是无害的，而且，其本身即为规避模仿示范效应的另一种至关重要的途径。     

论国家级考试舞弊行为的刑法规制

根据我国现行刑法的规定,对在国家级考试中实施舞弊行为情节严重的,可处以非法获取国家秘密罪或招收学生徇私舞弊罪等罪名。但对于为舞弊者提供协助行为情节严重的,现行刑法却无力惩处,并且对教师帮助学生实施舞弊行为适用招收学生徇私舞弊罪处罚也有违罪刑法定原则。为弥补刑事法律在规制国家级考试舞弊行为上的不足,必须在刑法中增设＂协助国家级考试舞弊罪＂,以有效地遏制考试舞弊盛行之风。     

Prediction of violent and sexual offences: A replication study of the VRAG in Switzerland

Abstract

The Violence Risk Appraisal Guide (VRAG) is a widely used actuarial risk assessment instrument and has been validated in different countries. However, there is no investigation supporting the predictive accuracy of the VRAG in the German language area. The VRAG scores of 79 violent and sexual offenders in Switzerland were assessed based on data from their psychiatric expert opinions. The VRAG scores were compared to subsequent recidivism as shown in the official criminal records. Consistent with past research in the English language area, the VRAG yielded a satisfying predictive accuracy (ROC area = .73), demonstrating its usefulness for risk assessment of violent delinquency in the Swiss cultural and German language area.     

Construct Validity of Adolescent Antisocial Personality Disorder

This study examined the construct validity of antisocial personality disorder (ASPD) diagnosed in adolescence. Boys and girls were grouped by history of DSM-III-R conduct disorder (CD) and ASPD: Controls (n=340) had neither diagnosis; CD Only (n=77) had CD by age 17 but no ASPD through age 20; Adolescent ASPD (n = 64) had ASPD by age 17. The Adolescent ASPD group was then compared to 20 young adult men who met criteria for ASPD (ASPD group). As expected, the Adolescent ASPD group had significantly more depression and substance use disorders, a greater performance>verbal IQ discrepancy, more deviant peers, and poorer academic functioning than the CD Only group and Controls. The Adolescent ASPD and ASPD groups did not differ on most variables. Results support the construct validity of Adolescent ASPD and suggest that such a diagnosis could help identify adolescents at risk for persistent antisocial behavior.

A Rationale and Method for Examining Reasons for Linkages Among Adolescent Risk Behaviors

A large volume of research has investigated interrelations among adolescent risk behaviors. Although several theoretical accounts have been proposed, researchers have not directly examined hypotheses for why risk behaviors are linked. In the present paper, a distinction is drawn between predictive factors that explain variance in risk behaviors and “linkage factors” which may provide an explanation for why risk behaviors are interrelated. The relevance of linkage factors to risk behavior research, theory, and practice is described. Further, a simple to use and easy to interpret analytic technique for exploring linkage-related issues is illustrated. Using this technique, hypotheses regarding the role of predictors in explaining linkages among risk behaviors can be tested directly. The proposed line of inquiry will provide valuable input for intervention efforts and theoretically relevant information concerning linkages among adolescent risk behaviors.
