Maternal Acceptance as a Moderator of the Relation Between Threat to Self Appraisals and Mental Health Problems in Adolescents from Divorced Families

Appraisals about the implications of stressful events that are evaluated as involving a threat to self (negative self-evaluation, negative evaluation from others, rejection by others) have been shown to place youth at risk for the development of mental health problems. This longitudinal study tested a protective-stabilizing interactive model, in which high maternal acceptance was predicted to mitigate the prospective relation between threat to self appraisals and change in adolescents’ mental health problems six months later. Participants were 89 adolescents from divorced families ages 10–12 and residential mothers. Adolescents reported on threat to self appraisals from the most stressful event experienced in the past month. Mothers and youth reported on maternal acceptance and mental health problems. Multiple regression analyses provided support for the protective effects of maternal acceptance on adolescents’ mental health problems. Intervention implications are discussed.

论警察执法权益的刑法保护

面临日益增多的暴力袭警事件,必须加强刑事立法,使警察的执法权益得到根本性的保障.在刑法总则排除社会危害性行为的内容中增设依法履行职务的行为;在刑法分则中增设有关袭警犯罪的内容,以加强对警察执法权益的刑法保护.     

论一般赃物犯罪的客观要件

一般赃物类犯罪的犯罪对象“赃物”应包括物品和收益两大类。对一些特殊物品及其收益,如违禁品应区别对待:法律有特别规定的,按独立罪名定。善意第三人占有的赃物丧失了赃物的属性。变卖加工后的赃物仍然是赃物。一般赃物犯罪的客观行为包括窝藏、转移、收购、代为销售或者以其他方法掩饰、隐瞒赃物。     

关于建构我国传闻证据规则的理论思考

证人庭外的证言以及在法庭上陈述的非亲身经历的事实,通常不能作为法庭认定犯罪事实的依据.传闻证据规则的确立具有深厚的理论基础,其中最主要的是正当程序的理论.我国没有建立传闻证据规则,原因在于观念和机制两方面存在制约.应该在我国建构传闻证据规则,在不损害被告人质证权的前提下,设置例外情况.     

论鉴定科学证据的科学基础——鉴定证据的标准、效力及适用

鉴定科学证据的运用无疑能提升刑事证明的有效性和可靠性,但是若被不当理解和运用则会造成对刑事司法公正性和实质真实发现的干扰。对鉴定科学证据,需要制定若干标准作为对其存在的知识基础的衡量指标。鉴定结论由于其知识基础的不同,其效力和可靠性也会有所差异。司法实践中,对科学鉴定证据的应用须设置一定的程序控制,以便对其进行把关和过滤。     

论缔约过失的基本问题及体系建构

对于给付障碍法而言,缔约过失获得了与积极侵害债权同样重大的意义。现今的一些新型法律制度,都是在缔约过失的土壤之上发展起来的。但在这一制度是否以及如何法典化的问题上,一向存在不同的态度,甚至是迥异的态度。从整体情况看,法典化应当是肯定的,但在具体规制上还是应当采取比较慎重的态度。     

论新形势下的摸底排队工作

摸底排队是侦查机关的专门工作与群众路线相结合之侦查方针的具体体现,在实践中发挥着巨大的作用。但在新形势下,由于经济、科技以及社会环境的变化,传统的摸底排队工作在摸排条件、范围的确定等方面面临着巨大的挑战。只有转换思路,将现代化的科学理念和科技手段引入摸底排队工作中,才能使其重获生机与活力。     

促进罪犯回归社会：英国的实践

促进罪犯重新融入社会是当代英国的重要刑罚目标。为此,立法上规定有监禁刑与半监禁刑,监禁刑执行中规定有刑期管理、家庭监视等制度。这对我国不无借鉴意义。     

恢复性行刑：和谐、健康与回归社会

恢复性行刑的最终目的是恢复正常的社会关系和社会秩序。它包括对罪犯的再社会化,对罪犯社会谋生技能的训练或修复,对罪犯健全人格的修复和教育,对罪犯社会道德与良知的恢复等。恢复性行刑所涉及的主体包括国家、社会、服刑罪犯、受害人以及社区公众。为此,恢复性行刑的价值集中体现在:尊重、和谐、安全、健康和回归社会。     

差异公民资格与正义:艾利斯·马瑞恩·杨政治哲学探微

在当代西方女性主义政治哲学中,艾利斯·马瑞恩·杨以其"差异的公民资格"与"差异政治"而独具特色.从对罗尔斯为代表的自由主义普遍公民资格的批判出发,她说明了自由主义普遍公民资格如何忽略或至少是回避了差异及差异群体的权利要求.她以差异的公民资格为切入点,揭示出女性主义政治哲学之差异正义的根本理论诉求,这不仅为女性等差异性群体争取自身权利指明了方向,也试图以另外一种新的视角,即公民资格的理论视角,冲击传统意义上普遍主义的正义理解.在当代多元文化的广阔背景下,差异的公民资格和差异平等的正义观照正越来越成为差异性群体争取自身权利的理论武器,而差异正义的独特理论诉求也正日益成为普遍正义的一种有意义的补充.
