催生与谨慎：社区矫正路径探寻--宽严相济刑事政策理论与实践研究之四

尊崇罪刑法定的刚性原则与刑法防卫社会的积极功能,彰显刑法的谦抑性和最后手段性,此乃宽严相济刑事政策之意蕴。社区矫正秉承现代刑罚理念,既是契合宽严相济刑事政策的主旨,又是践行该政策的佳径。积极催生合理制度、谨慎配置行刑资源、理性探寻社区矫正路径是当下刑罚执行制度改革及社会稳定发展之急需。

浅论刑事和解与刑法基本问题之关系

An econometric model will be estimated in order to answer two basic questions: (1) why some courts’ output it is greater than others?

Politics and Corporate‐Sector Environmentally Significant Actions: The Effects of Political Partisanship on U.S. Utilities Energy Efficiency Policies

This study assesses the direct, indirect, and total impacts of political partisanship on state‐level utilities' investment in energy efficiency. This subject is of utmost importance because energy efficiency improvement has become a linchpin in worldwide efforts to combat climate change and other environmental challenges. Analysis of data on 51 electric utilities nested within 31 U.S. states indicates that political partisanship influences utilities' energy efficiency policies. There is strong evidence that electric utilities in states dominated by the Republican Party are less likely to invest in energy efficiency than those in states governed by the Democratic Party. This finding suggests that political partisanship may be shaping the policy and regulatory frameworks put in place by state governments to incentivize or compel the participation of private‐sector entities' in environmental management and/or resource conservation.
