PROTECTING LIVES,CAREERS, AND PUBLIC CONFIDENCE: FLORIDA'S EFFORTS TO PREVENT OFFICER‐INVOLVED DOMESTIC VIOLENCE

Florida's innovative Law Enforcement Families Partnership (LEFP) was created to reduce and prevent officer‐involved domestic violence in the state. Administered by the Institute for Family Violence Studies at Florida State University and supported by the criminal justice and victim's advocacy communities, the LEFP is the first statewide project of its kind. It includes several components, the cornerstone of which is an online curriculum that teaches officers about the dynamics and consequences of domestic violence perpetrated by officers. This article describes the project and early data from the surveys attached to the curriculum.     

ATTACHMENT PERSPECTIVES ON DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AND FAMILY LAW

Lieberman and Zeanah are specialist clinicians, researchers, and prolific publishers in the areas of infant mental health, attachment development in high‐risk environments, and treatment of infant–parent relationship trauma. In this article, Lieberman and Zeanah discuss the impacts of domestic violence on the attachment security and development of infants and children and address a number of implications for the family law context. Conundrums for parenting visitation and living arrangements are considered, together with the need for multidisciplinary, early response and the pivotal role of family courts in directing this response.     

外资并购反垄断规制的国际协调

伴随经济全球化程度的不断加深,各国对资本要素流动的逐步开放,以外资并购为主要形式的第五次并购浪潮自1993年起一直方兴未艾。外资并购多是巨型跨国公司在两个或两个以上的国家进行的并购,其产生的影响不仅仅局限于一国之内,还会造成国际性市场垄断结构的形成。因此,一项跨国并购往往会成为多个国家反垄断法的规制对象,这就会导致各国在规制外资并购时发生冲突与对抗。如何解决此问题,是摆在各国面前的一道法律难题。本文试着从国际协调的角度对此问题予以探讨。     

李阳家暴事件的法律思考

家庭暴力这一带有普遍性的丑恶现象,是一个全球性的社会问题。家庭暴力侵害着妇女的身心健康、破坏家庭和睦、危害社会稳定,为社会所不容。本文将从李阳家庭暴力事件入手,分析我国家暴立法和执法中的不足,简要分析我国与其他国家在处理家暴问题上存在的差距,就如何预防和制止家庭暴力作简单的探讨,呼吁全社会对家庭暴力问题的共同关注和协助,共同来预防和消除家庭暴力。     

论夫妻一方婚内单独放弃继承的效力——兼评我国《继承法》第25条与《婚姻法》第17条

在夫妻关系存续期间,若被继承人未立遗嘱或所立遗嘱未明确表明遗产只归作为继承人的夫或妻一方,夫或妻可否在继承开始后、遗产分割前,不征得其配偶的同意而单独作出放弃继承的意思表示？对此,有两种相互冲突的观点,冲突的实质其实是法律规范的内部冲突,而问题产生的根源在于《婚姻法》第17条关于夫妻一方在婚姻关系存续期间因继承而获得的财产为夫妻共同财产的规定不当。鉴于此,应在将来的《婚姻法》修订中明确夫妻一方婚内继承的财产作为夫妻一方个人财产。     

反思与进路：行政诉讼协调和解程序之建构

行政诉讼协调和解作为一项探索性工作,在司法实践中很有生命力,但也存在一些问题：缺乏独立程序价值地位,片面追求＂案结事了＂的价值功能,某些规定有违正当程序原则。构建行政诉讼协调和解机制的理念基础是：明确行政诉讼协调和解内涵,赋予其独立诉讼程序地位,衡平纠纷解决与权力监督之间关系,借鉴域内外立法经验。具体规则设计应从以下几方面考虑：行政协调的原则、模式、范围、结案方式及救济途径;最终还需立法支持。     

＂刑法危机＂的症结何在——就犯罪圈、刑罚量问题的些许感想

本文从新近的一种人格刑法的有力主张入手,首先给出了对于当下刑事法网是"厉而不严"而非"又严又厉"的基本判断,在此基础上,认为破除刑法危机、实现刑法机制的良性运转应该以"严而不厉"为基本保障,从而主张在刑罚轻缓化的同时,还必要强调刑法调控范围的适度扩张即犯罪化,并且,为这样的一种主张与时下的"宽严相济的刑事政策"在刑事立法意义上找到了某种契合。     

Child Abuse-Related Homicides in New Mexico: A 6-year Retrospective Review

Abstract:  We retrospectively reviewed autopsy records at a statewide medical examiner's office in order to identify and characterize deaths due to child abuse. In a 6-year period in New Mexico, the medical examiner investigated 45 deaths determined to be child abuse-related. Decedents were predominantly male (68.9%), Hispanic White (53.3%), and all were 5 years of age or younger, with a median age of 1 year. Head injuries were the most common cause of death (44.4%), followed by battered baby syndrome (15.6%). Relatives were involved as alleged perpetrators in 80% of the cases, with the father most often implicated (36.1% of cases), and 88.9% of child abuse injuries resulting in death occurred in the family's residence. Toxicology was positive in 26.7% of cases, but only two cases had substances of abuse present. Information on risk factors such as prematurity, parental age, and history of abuse was also collected.     

统筹区域协调发展之生态补偿机制建构创新

区域经济合作在于统筹区域经济、资源、环境的协调发展,构建区域生态补偿机制是其重要保障,而科学的区域生态补偿机制,重在通过转移支付合理“弥补”生态功能区牺牲的利益而促使其生态保护与科学发展。构建区域生态补偿机制的现实难题,主要是同我国现行体制相关的诸多问题的综合表征,其基础依托在于法律制度、政策机制、组织体系之三个方面,其中立法创制与政策创新是关键。相关实践昭示,当前既要克服生态补偿立法上的缺陷,又要把握主体功能区规划实施的契机,推动以财政转移支付为主导的政府补偿政策机制的完善创新。     

试析行政协调机制——以行政服务中心为视角

行政协调既是行政服务中心履行的一项基本职责,也是其健康发展的应然状态。作为行政服务中心机制建设的核心内容与关键环节之一,行政协调机制的健全与否决定着行政服务中心建设的成败。因此,准确把握行政协调机制的内涵与本质,合理优化行政协调机制的功能与作用是推动行政服务中心建设走向成熟的必然要求。
