我国刑事审级制度的反思与重构

审级制度对于保障权利意义重大,从宪政角度看具有权利救济功能和权力规制功能.目前我国审级制度方面存在着一、二审程序权利保障功能弱化,死刑复核程序基本上被搁置,以及审判监督程序定位失当等问题,形成了在司法资源、司法公正、法制统一和司法权威方面的负面效应.究其原因最根本的问题在于制度设计的价值取向错位.为此,提出了五个方面的审级制度改造建议.     

建构支撑制度创新的强有力的意识形态

改革开放以来,我们正是依靠马克思主义意识形态的创新指导了20多年的制度创新进程,在全球化浪潮冲击面前保持着当代中国改革向前推进的活力.但是在今天,面对深刻的全球化态势给马克思主义意识形态的挑战,支撑中国制度创新的意识形态呈现出一种复杂局面.鉴于意识形态与制度和体制共存亡的特点,我们必须在全球化的世界大潮中,为维护当代中国社会主义制度的生存、发展与创新而加强马克思主义意识形态理论体系的建设和创新.在当代中国,只有马克思主义意识形态处于变动世界的创新进程之中,才能推进适应这一世界的国度进行制度和体制创新.     

对整体防控中打击与防范关系的理性思考

打击和防范是遏制、减少犯罪过程中互为依存、互为条件的两个方面,既对立又统一。“以打为先、以防为本、打中有防、防中有打”是当前公安机关控制社会治安的必然工作模式。

Building the Education Revolution: Another Case of Australian Government Failure?

Since the 2007 federal election, the Australian government has implemented a plethora of new programs, many with dual economic and social objectives. A significant number of these initiatives have not only proved unsuccessful, but have also been criticized for their implementation and subsequent administration. This paper examines the Building Education Revolution Program, which commenced in 2009 with the objective of stimulating employment growth and improving school infrastructure, through the analytical prism of the government failure paradigm as well as the literature on “hollowing out” and decentralization. It is argued that the BER Program represents a “case study” of how governments should not pursue large-scale public expenditure programs.     

Examining the relationship between sexual offenders and their victims: Interpersonal differences between stranger and non-stranger sexual offences

Abstract

The present study examined the behavioural differences in sexual assault offences in relation to the offender–victim relationship (stranger versus non-stranger). These differences were examined specifically in the context of four interpersonal themes of interaction: dominance, submission, hostility and cooperation. The details of 100 sexual offence cases (50 stranger and 50 non-stranger) were content-analysed, generating 58 dichotomous variables, covering offender and victim behaviour during the offence. χ² tests comparing the two samples found that offenders who were strangers to their victims were more likely than non-stranger offenders to display behaviours that indicate a hostile, violent offence style. In contrast, those offenders who knew their victims were more likely than strangers to display a less violent and more personal, compliance-gaining offence style. These findings are discussed in terms of their implications for offender rehabilitation and victim support.     

Ideas,identity, and institution‐building: From the ‘ASEAN way’ to the ‘Asia‐Pacific way'?

Abstract

This article examines the extent to which the development of multilateral institutions in the Asia‐Pacific region may be viewed as an exercise in identity‐building. It argues that institution‐building in this region is more of a ‘process‐orientated’ phenomenon, rather than simply being an outcome of structural changes in the international system (such as the decline of American hegemony). The process combines universal principles of multilateralism with some of the relatively distinct modes of socialization prevailing in the region. Crucial to the process have been the adaptation of four ideas: ‘cooperative security’, ‘open regionalism’, ‘soft regionalism’, and ‘flexible consensus’. The construction of a regional identity, which may be termed the ‘Asia‐Pacific Way’ has also been facilitated by the avoidance of institutional grand designs and the adoption of a consensual and cautious approach extrapolated from the ‘ASEAN Way’. The final section of the article examines the limitations and dangers of the Asia‐Pacific Way. It concludes with the assertion that while the Asia‐Pacific Way is an over‐generalised, instrumental, and pragmatic approach to regional cooperation, and there remain significant barriers to the development of a collective regional identity that is constitutive of the interests of the actors, it has helped introduce the concept and practice of multilateralism into a previously sceptical region and might have ‘bought’ enough time and space for regional actors to adapt to the demands of multilateralism.     

论新《刑事诉讼法》中的看守所

2012年3月14日修改的《刑事诉讼法》对人们关注的看守所问题予以回应,条文中十次出现"看守所"。从新《刑事诉讼法》规定来看,看守所应当视为刑事诉讼法律关系主体,依法享有独立的诉讼地位。其所展示的看守所的诉讼职能可以归结为两个方面,一是未决羁押的执行职能,二是部分刑罚的执行职能。现行看守所事实上隶属于同级公安机关,应当重置看守所管理体制,保证看守所中立。
