An examination of the role of neuropsychological deficits in mentally disordered sex offenders

Abstract

The present study examines the neuropsychological model of sexual offending proposed by Flor-Henry (1987) in relation to a group of mentally disordered sex offenders and a control group of mentally disordered non-sex offenders. The model predicts that the sex offender group would show specific left fronto-temporal dysfunction as compared with the control group. The results, while in the predicted direction, failed to reach statistical significance. Implications and limitations of the study are discussed.     

从原则到例外：《民法典》时间效力规则的体系化展开

《民法典》施行前发生的法律事实引起的民事纠纷案件,涉及《民法典》可否溯及适用的问题。原则上,《民法典》不溯及既往。对于一时性法律事实,应当适用当时的法律、司法解释的规定,不适用《民法典》的规定;对于持续性法律事实,在一般情形下即行适用《民法典》的规定,涉及合同履行争议时分段适用《民法典》的规定。有利追溯、空白追溯作为《民法典》溯及既往的例外,在适用范围上互为补充,在构成要件上互相牵制,在法律效果上层次分明。不过,即使在有利追溯、空白追溯的例外情形下,《民法典》的溯及力也是有限度的,要受到既判力的约束。
