A Retrospective Study of Intentional Body Dismemberment in New York City: 1996–2017

A review of New York City dismemberment cases occurring between 1996 and 2017 was conducted, which resulted in a total of 55 dismembered decedents in a 22‐year period. Annual trends indicate an average of 2.5 dismembered decedents. Additional results show that 53% of cases involved transection only, 35% involved disarticulation only, and 13% involved a combination of both. When the entire body could be accounted for, the average number of body portions per case was 5.5. Frequent locations for dismemberment were the neck, shoulders, hips, and knees. Dismemberment locations showed a general trend of anatomical symmetry. Seventy‐eight percent of the dismemberments involve disposal of body parts in an outside location. Eighty‐four percent were concealed from view with some type of covering. The findings from New York City are compared with other studies.     

Skeletal Trauma Resulting From Fatal Low (≤3 m) Free Falls: An Analysis of Fracture Patterns and Morphologies

The skeletal trauma resulting from fatal low (≤3 m) free falls is poorly researched and understood by forensic practitioners. The aim of this study was to identify the types of skeletal trauma resulting from low falls through investigating fracture patterns and morphologies. Skeletal trauma was analyzed using full‐body postmortem computed tomography scans of 145 individuals who died from a low free fall. Trauma was then contextualized to the variables that influence how a person falls using multiple logistic regression. Results showed fracture patterning primarily involved the axial skeleton and that there were a number of patterns significantly associated with the height fallen, pre‐existing health conditions, and age. Analysis of fracture morphologies showed 108 possible fracture types, six of which were significantly associated with the height fallen. Understanding the skeletal trauma characteristic of low free falls will further inform anthropological interpretations of trauma in cases where a fall may be considered the possible mechanism.     

东北亚地区国际劳务合作对东北振兴的影响

通过国际劳务合作促进劳动力的国际流动 ,是实现劳动力资源有效配置的一个重要途径。加强东北地区的国际劳务合作 ,对于缓解东北地区的就业压力、提高劳动力素质具有重要的意义。目前 ,东北地区参与东北亚国际劳务合作的规模基本上处于稳定发展的态势 ,具有波动性较大、合作的领域比较集中、收益不高的特点 ,这与东北地区的社会经济环境以及劳务接收国的政策密切相关。但东北地区参与东北亚国际劳务合作的潜力还是非常巨大的 ,为此 ,国家应给予东北地区必要的政策支持 ,积极推动东北亚地区建立合理的国际劳务合作机制 ,加强劳动力培训方面的合作 ,引进专业技术及管理人才 ,促进东北振兴的实现。     

Skull Fracture with Brain Expulsion in a One-Level Jumping-Fall

Abstract:  Here presented is the case of a one-level jumping-fall with extensive skull fractures and brain expulsion. The body was found on the basement floor at the foot of the stairs. At the autopsy, the skull was extensively fractured, with about half of the brain expulsed several feet away from the body. The cause of death was established as a craniocerebral trauma with brain expulsion. The circumstances and manner of death were still unclear at that time. A low fall seemed very unlikely considering the severity of the skull and brain damage. The police investigation clearly revealed that the man, in a paranoid psychotic state, attacked his wife with a knife and then was witnessed by his children to have hit his head several times with a hammer. Afterwards, they saw him running to the top of the basement stairs and jumping to the bottom of the stairs head first.

行政判决与民事判决既判力根据之比较

既判力的根据所探讨的是当事人为什么受到既判力约束的问题.民事判决既判力的根据,理论界主要有制度效力说、程序保障下的自我归责说、双重根据说和国家审判权说.在行政诉讼中,由于行政相对人和行政主体是两种性质不同的当事人,因此,行政相对人和行政主体受既判力约束分别存在不同的根据.

婚姻效力状态探析——自合同法理的角度

视婚姻为合同的思想由来已久且很有价值,但这一价值迄今未得到充分的重视和发挥.用合同的法理考察透视婚姻的效力状态,我们看到,《婚姻法》规定了婚姻的有效、无效和可撤销,但缺乏对于婚姻效力待定的规定;同时.还可以发现,在婚姻的无效和可撤销的具体适用条件上,《婚姻法》的规定有必要进一步完善.

论无效合同的法律形式

无效合同是相对于有效合同而言的．指合同虽然已经成立,但因其在内容和形式上违反了法律、行政法规的强行性规定和社会公共利益,因此被确认为无效。正确认识无效合同的种类,对于公民、法人正确地使用合同．维护自身的合法利益,从而确保合同法的正常运作、保障经济生活中的交易安全、维护国家利益、准确适用法律、正确处理案件,都具有十分重要的意义。
