污染环境犯罪案件实务问题探析

污染环境犯罪刑法条文的修改及司法解释的出台为依法严厉打击污染环境犯罪提供了强有力的保障,但是由于该类犯罪主观形态模糊、行政与刑事司法衔接不畅、相关证据标准不明确、检察机关提前介入机制不健全等因素,致使在实践中出现立案难、认定难、定罪难等问题,从而直接影响到刑法惩治预防价值功能的发挥,以及执法办案社会效果、法律效果和政治效果的实现。因此,实务部门必须吃透刑法条文本意,遵循司法运作规律,健全相关机制,提高办案质量,为本地经济社会的科学发展保驾护航。     

论毛泽东思想中蕴含的生态文明建设思想

新中国成立以来,特别是改革开放以来,我国的工业得到了迅猛的发展,并取得了极大的历史成就,然而,伴随而来的环境破坏不得不给人民敲响了环保意识的警钟。事实上,生态环境问题要追溯到20世纪五六十年代,那时的国民经济刚刚步入正轨,国家工业化也是刚刚起步,环境污染问题只在局部地区出现而未引起广泛关注。然而,作为党的第一代领导集体核心,毛泽东敏感地察觉到此时环境保护的重要性,并提出了植树造林、水利建设、控制人口、开垦荒地等有关环境保护的言论。这些言论为中国特色社会主义生态文明建设打下了重要的理论基础,给党的生态文明建设思想积累了宝贵的经验,为我国社会主义现代化建设提供了重要的理论指导。     

The correctional staff burnout literature

Correctional staff job burnout is costly to all involved. As such, it has generated a growing body of research. This study reviewed 53 empirical studies of correctional staff burnout and two review articles published between 1981 and 2014. The majority of studies focused on staff working in a variety of institutional positions, fewer studies focused exclusively on the subgroup of correctional officers, and even fewer focused on a different subgroup. The majority of studies also involved staff at US government-run adult prisons. Most but not all studies utilized Maslach’s Burnout Inventory. Research on the antecedents of job burnout among correctional staff is more common than research on the possible consequences or outcomes of job burnout. Interestingly, despite the empirical emphasis on antecedents of burnout, there has been almost no research on effective interventions designed to deal with correctional staff burnout. Based on this narrative review, significant gaps remain in the research on correctional staff burnout.     

‘Multicolored’ green criminology and climate change’s achromatopsia

While green criminology may be an effective name or label for the sub-field or perspective within criminology that considers a wide range of environmental issues, it is, in reality, a ‘multicolored green’ – a criminology that engages a spectrum of issues, that reflects the interests of some racial groups more than others, that reveals and analyzes environmental harms which disproportionately impact some racial groups more than others, and that can be approached from a number of vantage points or that can be viewed with variously tinted lenses. This article begins with an overview of climate change, including a discussion of its anticipated impacts and indicators of its already-being-felt effects. It then offers some general comments on the disproportionate impact of environmental threats and harms before turning to a discussion of the present and anticipated distributional impacts of climate change. Here, this article argues that climate change is, in effect, achromatopsic – it is color-blind, in that it affects us all regardless of skin color – but that those impacts will be distributed unevenly/unequally and that various groups are and will continue to be in different positions to adapt to climate change. This article concludes by suggesting that while the environmental harms caused by climate change are real – and the risks and threats they pose tangible and serious – climate change presents an exciting challenge for our creative potential as humans. In the process of reducing our consumption of fossil fuels and stabilizing (or, better yet, reducing) our greenhouse gas emissions, we might better assist those geopolitical regions most at risk (i.e. poor, developing countries) to become more resilient – an approach that is necessary for both the physical health of the planet and the prospects for social justice.
