不依法披露重要信息罪的理解与适用

为了维护广大投资者的利益,防止投资者受到欺诈,我国相关金融法律、法规都明确规定了相关公司、企业负有信息披露义务。但目前我国的形势是,许多负有信息披露义务的公司、企业并不依法披露其应该披露的信息,严重损害了投资者的利益。而我国97年刑法中只有“提供虚假财会报告罪”的规定,并未将其他不依法披露信息的行为纳入调整的范围,因而对于绝大多数不依法披露重要信息的行为无法施以刑罚。因此,为了有效地保障广大投资者及时获取完整、真实信息的权利,《刑法修正案(六)》对提供虚假财会报告罪进行了修正,从主体、行为方式、披露的对象等方面扩大了本罪的适用范围。     

未成年人犯罪案件中社会调查报告的证据学分析

社会调查报告是在办理未成年人刑事案件中,通过走访家庭、学校、单位、居委会、派出所等有关部门,对未成年犯罪嫌疑人、被告人在作案以前的一贯表现、作案原因和家庭生活环境作一个全面的了解。它是对未成年犯罪人量刑时的重要参考依据;是对未成年犯罪人进行教育改造的重要参考依据;而且检察院或法院可以针对社会调查报告中反映出来的问题向有关部门发出检察建议或司法建议,从根本上预防和减少未成年人犯罪。     

强迫——屈从型虚假供述的心理学解读

强迫——屈从型虚假供述是警察审讯室中出现较多的虚假供述类型,也是造成冤假错案的罪魁祸首。其产生与犯罪嫌疑人的服从、受暗示性和本能的生存需求紧密相关,但更多的是警察的强迫审讯策略所致。赋予犯罪嫌疑人审讯阶段辩护权并建立合理的讯问规则是减少审讯室中强迫——屈从型虚假供述的有效对策。     

论侵权法的社会化——以侵权法与保险的关系为重点

现代社会赔偿为首位的原则改变了侵权法的性格,突出表现在从个人责任的追究转移到损失的分散。侵权法开始扩张到严格责任,并在规范或事实上受到保险观念的影响。但是,以原告—被告的利益关系为基本结构的侵权法仍然面临着责任追究成本过大、赔偿范围与数额不确定、人际不公平等批评,其进一步扩张也导致了责任保险业的危机。道德论者在矫正正义与社会契约论的理论基础上重新奠定了侵权法的正当性。功能主义论者也大多认为,侵权法在损害预防上具有不可取代的作用。此外,保险制度自身的特点决定了某些损害不能通过它来填补。因此,侵权法规则并不能被保险所取代,但是无论从现实上还是理论上讲,过分扩张侵权法缺乏正当性。     

Who made the disclosure? Recorded discussions between children and caretakers suspecting child abuse

Within investigations of suspected child abuse, the child's account is often at the core of the judicial process. When analysing the child's account, it is therefore important to consider how parents may have discussed the suspected abuse prior to the official investigation. However, no studies up to the present time have investigated discussions in real cases where parents suspect that their children have been abused. We analysed a sample (N = 19) of recorded conversations between parents and their children, delivered to the police as evidence for alleged physical or sexual abuse. Analyses of the questions used and the information provided in the discussions showed that the parent's strategies when questioning their children were extremely leading and that in the majority of the cases, all new information was provided by the parents. In spite of this, the parents deemed the recorded conversations as records of the children's accounts. While the sample was small and likely to be unrepresentative of child abuse suspicions in general, the findings have important practical implications. The results indicate that when planning an interview in a case where the alleged abuse relies on what a child allegedly has told a parent, particular caution should be taken when referring to these conversations.
