论黑社会性质组织罪

黑社会性质组织犯罪是1997年我国《刑法》修订后新设立的罪种。它包括组织、领 导、参加黑社会性质组织罪,入境发展黑社会组织罪,包庇、纵容黑社会性质组织罪。目前黑社会性 质组织犯罪比较猖獗,必须采取一定措施对其进行严厉打击。     

诉讼法在我国法律体系中的地位

传统的一元体系没有反映出法律体系的真正客观需要。法律体系应当是二元化的结构 ,首先是划分为公法和私法 ,并将这种划分作为整个法律现象的内在的不同系统。其次 ,法律体系的二元结构也表现在实体法和程序法的划分之中 ,而且具有不同的层次性。诉讼法无疑是程序法中的一部分 ,而又只能是其中的一部分 ,是其中最具特点和最具保障手段的一部分。诉讼法的以公有权力为基础的权力性质和当事人以私权为基础的诉讼性质决定了其既不可单纯的成为公法 ,也不可脱离公法而成立 ,而成为界乎私法和公法之间的、程序性、保障性的法律门类。     

对刑法"不得假释"之规定(81条第二款)的商榷

限制假释与世界行刑现代化方向不吻合。对假释在实践中存在的问题应具体分析,但不能因噎废食。我国限制假释的理论依据值得商榷,事实表明:限制假释不利于调动在监服刑犯的改造积极性,不利于他们的重新社会化过程,与监狱法中对罪犯实行惩罚与改造相结合的原则不符;同时,在维护社会的稳定以及体现法律的公正、衔接等方面并非是一个较好的选择。所以,建议对该刑法条款进行修改,并通过对我国假释管理体制的完善,逐步扩大对假释的适用。     

‘Fat cat’ lawyers and ‘illegal’ migrants: the impact of intersecting hostilities and toxic narratives on access to justice

ABSTRACT

This article examines how three spheres of hostility intersect to prevent effective access to justice for those living with insecure immigration status. The neoliberal governance model, the barren justice landscape and the hostile environment are supported by the cynical construction of the ‘fat cat’ lawyer and the toxic ‘folk devil’ narrative of the ‘bogus’ asylum seeker. To the extent that the judiciary have frustrated the more obvious, ideologically driven, attempts to restrict access to justice for migrants, the austerity predicated measures pursuant to the Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Act 2012 (LASPO) have completely altered the legal landscape. The analysis is informed by the findings of the ‘Legal advice and support for persons with insecure status’ project (hereafter LAPIS) in Nottingham which explores the challenges faced by service providers and the lived experiences of those with insecurity of status. It is clear that access to justice is a passport to the realisation of other rights, yet participants struggled to access a remedy because legal advice is too often out of reach.     

Lost in space? the role of place in the delivery of social welfare law advice over the telephone and face-to-face

ABSTRACT

Advice that is provided exclusively over the telephone has been promoted by government as more convenient and accessible than face-to-face appointments. The resulting push towards telephone-only provision, as implemented by the Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Act 2012, challenges the long history of association between social welfare law advice and local delivery within disadvantaged communities. This article reports on qualitative research comparing telephone and face-to-face advice which uncovers the continuing relevance of place in the dynamics and mechanics of social welfare law provision. Familiarity with the geographical location, knowledge of local policies and procedures, relationships with opponents and allies, and an understanding of the ‘local legal culture’ mean that face-to-face advisers are often able to conduct their legal casework more effectively. Conversely, local knowledge is unlikely to be available to Community Legal Advice telephone advisers. This research suggests that, in addition, telephone-only advisers may be developing a more narrow understanding of the essential qualities of casework. These findings are particularly significant in view of the likely future expansion of remote methods of delivery in legal aid work.     

试论个体认同与集体认同之间的内在关系

认同问题已经成为学术界的一个热点话题。个体认同和集体认同之间在强调的重点、所具有的功能、适用的范围三方面存在差异。个体认同和集体认同从根本上说具有极大的共同性和相似性,而这个共同性与相似性的基础在于社会性。个体认同和集体认同永远处于一种相互塑造中。对个体认同与集体认同的内在关系的考察是和谐社会研究的重要内容。     

对我国“法律语言”概念的反思

法律语言概念的定义,在我国多种多样。每一种定义虽然都有其闪光点,但也都有内在的缺陷。多样化虽然促进了我国法律语言研究在许多方面展开,但影响甚至阻碍了研究的进一步深入。尽管科学地重新定义法律语言的概念并不容易,但解决因法律语言多种概念而遗留的问题则更难。     

略论企业与自然的关系——对可持续发展的一种分析

在可持续发展系统中,经济持续是基础,生态持续是条件,社会持续是目的。企业与自然的关系是可持续发展中人与自然关系的集中体现;企业与自然是内在自然性与超越自然性的对立统一;企业可持续发展战略思想是现代社会生产和生活方式变化在企业管理上的必然反映。当代社会在强调人与自然协调发展的同时,也同样要求企业与周围环境的和谐与兼容。
