妨害公务行为定性之探究——兼论《刑法》第277条的立法完善

司法实践中若干妨害公务行为在刑法认定上存在争议,因此应对《刑法》第277条进行修改完善。应将妨害公务罪的行为客体中人的要素界定为“正在依法从事公务的人员”,妨害公务罪的行为方式不应限于暴力、威胁,应增加“其他方法”的行为方式,应调整妨害公务罪的法定刑,以有效打击此类犯罪。     

Desistance as a Developmental Process: A Comparison of Static and Dynamic Approaches

New research in the field of developmental criminology has led researchers to reconceptualize desistance as a behavioral process that unfolds over the life course. This approach puts more emphasis on the pathways by which people reach the state of non-offending, and less emphasis on the state of non-offending itself. This reconceptualization has implications for how we measure desistance in longi-tudinal data. In this paper, we suggest that the traditional measurement approach is inconsistent with this view, and we present an alternative measurement approach based on the premises of developmental criminology. Although not perfect, we argue that the dynamic measure better describes the key elements of the process of desistance. Both approaches are implemented using data from the Rochester Youth Development Study, a longitudinal study of youthful offenders. We demon-strate that the two approaches identify different people as desistors. Moreover, we argue that the dynamic definition of desistance has more promise for providing insight into the changes that are the behavioral focus of the desistance process.     

司法实践中查处职务犯罪“12小时”讯问的弊端及立法建议

司法实践中,检察机关查处职务犯罪＂12小时＂的讯问暴露出种种弊端,有必要对此进行深入地调研和分析,以引起司法界和立法者的注意和重视,以期对检察机关的侦查工作有所促进。     

盗窃罪“定性加定量”罪名立法模式的否定与反思

我国盗窃罪实行的"定性加定量"的罪名立法模式违背盗窃罪典型行为犯的认知和无罪推定原则,以盗窃数额、盗窃次数乃至盗窃方式(携带凶器盗窃、扒窃)作为能否进入刑罚调整的标准,实践中还可能把定罪提前到公安机关的立案程序中,也不符合裁判消极的特征,在现实中容易纵容"小恶",违背社会正义的要求,因此,应该明确刑罚权的界限,恢复盗窃罪行为犯之定位,采用单纯"定性"罪名立法模式。     

Spouse abuse: An integrative-interactional model

Although spouse abuse is a psychosocial problem and needs to be addressed from an ecological perspective, many clinicians confront this family issue daily. Outlined are some practical suggestions on how to deal with the abuser and the couple when one or both are clients. This work emphasizes the importance of contracts that are related to the level of work being done. Suggestions are made regarding the important considerations in the first few meetings when working with groups of men in the community. Interventions are derived from a broadly conceived cognitive-behavioral-systems perspective.     

民事再审程序的修订:问题与探索——兼评《修正案(草案)》对再审程序的修订

抗诉的事由与申请再审的事由不宜完全同构化.在申请再审与请求抗诉问题上,应实行法院优先原则.由上一级法院管辖再审申请有利有弊,原审法院管辖加上诉或许是更优的方案;对再审申请,可从申请期间与除斥期间两方面作出限制.当法院决定再审时,撤销原裁判比中止原裁判是一种更好的选择.对伪证、枉法裁判,将来应通过先行程序确认后才允许申请再审.检察机关的调阅案卷权,宜在法律中明确规定.     

日本受贿罪立法及对我国的借鉴价值

日本刑法中关于受贿罪规定了7个具体罪名,各个罪名之间既互相区别又相互补充。不同的具体罪名虽总体均属受贿罪,但每个罪名的构成要件的规定又有所不同,日本刑法中受贿罪的立法模式对我国刑法中受贿罪立法规定的进一步完善具有重要的借鉴意义,其中,日本刑法中受贿罪的行为基本模式、特殊行为的规定模式及法定刑设定模式对我国刑法的借鉴意义重大。     

运输毒品罪既遂、未遂问题探析

基于运输毒品罪是行为犯这一特性,运输毒品罪应以运输行为的完成(即运输毒品抵达目的地)为既遂。若行为人着手实行后,由于行为人意志以外的原因而未能运抵目的地,则是运输毒品罪未遂。鉴于毒品犯罪的共同犯罪形式较为常见,其既遂、未遂问题应参照单独犯的标准予以认定。当共同犯罪是以共犯(狭义)和正犯方式组合,应以“二重性说”为基础来认定,当共同犯罪是以共同正犯形态进行,则应以“整体既遂说”予以认定。     

AMERICAN BAR ASSOCIATION POLICY REQUIRING LICENSURE,REGULATION, AND MONITORING OF PRIVATELY OPERATED RESIDENTIAL TREATMENT FACILITIES FOR AT‐RISK CHILDREN AND YOUTH

Well‐meaning parents send an estimated 10,000 to 14,000 at‐risk children each year to unregulated private residential treatment facilities, which for as much as $3,000 to $5,000 per month promise to modify troublesome behaviors and make bad kids good. The facilities that compose this booming, billion‐dollar business are generally not regulated, licensed, or monitored by state or federal governments; too many aspects of this alternative care system for youth are rife with mistreatment, including physical, sexual, and mental abuse by facility staff. This American Bar Association policy resolution urges state, territorial, and tribal legislatures to pass laws that require the licensing, regulating, and monitoring of residential treatment facilities that are not funded by public or government systems but offer treatment to at‐risk children and youth for emotional, behavioral, educational, or other problems or issues.
