国际私法中的法律规避问题研究

法律规避在国际私法居于重要地位。从性质上看,法律规避制度应属于公共秩序保留制度的一部分。从效力上看,规避内国法应认定为无效;规避非特定的外国法应认定为有效,其中被规避的法律不仅应包括实体规范,还应包括冲突规范。正确认识法律规避制度的性质和效力等问题,在理论和实践上对正确处理我国国际私法上的法律规避问题具有重要的现实意义。     

“I could not have made it without them”: Examining Trainee Cohort Perspectives on MSW Education for Public Child Welfare

This article reports findings from an evaluation of an MSW child welfare training program focused on increasing retention of knowledgeable, competent and experienced child protective service workers. From qualitative data gathered as part of the process evaluation, we found the cohort effect to be the most salient factor participants experienced as contributing to their successful program completion and their 100% retention rate. Analysis of the cohort effect yielded five themes instrumental in participants' individual and collective success: mutual support, empowerment, belief in self and their finding of a home base which ultimately helped them to launch their professional selves.     

A Statewide Study of the Public's Knowledge of Child Abuse Reporting Laws

This study conducted telephone interviews with a random sample of adults (N = 509) in a state with a universal child abuse reporting law. A substantial proportion of the interviewees (39%) were not aware of this law. Findings indicated that the public's understanding was mixed. Most respondents knew that reports could be made anonymously and that their identity could be kept private. However, most believed that children are automatically removed from the home if there is maltreatment and more than 50% were not aware they could be charged with a misdemeanor for failing to report a suspicion of child abuse. The respondents who had ever made a report (19%), had a greater knowledge of the laws than those who had not made a report. Older adults and those with less education had the least accurate perception of child abuse reporting policies. When asked about barriers to reporting, respondents cited worries that reporting would not help the child. Findings suggest that efforts to increase the public's comfort with reporting may require strategies to increase their confidence that the benefits will outweigh the risks for the child.     

Problems in the measurement of dynamic risk factors in sexual offenders

ABSTRACT

Having valid and reliable tools to measure ‘dynamic’ risk factors and minimising assessor bias is said to be critical in helping to make decisions regarding how individuals convicted of committing crime should be managed and treated, and how resources within the Justice System should be prioritised. This article outlines the problems and issues associated with the measurement of such putative dynamic risk factors (see Ward, 2015 Ward, T. (2015). Dynamic risk factors: Scientific kinds or predictive constructs. Psychology, Crime and Law, 22(01-02), 2–16. [Google Scholar] [Dynamic risk factors: Scientific kinds or predictive constructs. Psychology, Crime and Law.], 22(1–2), 2–16], this volume for a critique of current conceptions of these), and suggests ways of ensuring that measurement is conducted in the most appropriate way for the population being dealt with. Specifically, we would note that the evidence suggests that psychometric analysis, and structured professional judgment can be used to measure dynamic psychological problems using some tools within some samples. However, their use can be hindered by a number of conceptual factors including how the tests are designed and used, their reliability and validity, the context in which they are used, and the samples used. Finally, we would note that interviews are also an important part in the process of dynamic assessment.

治安学研究的问题与出路

目前治安学的研究和发展陷入了困境,问题的核心是治安学的定位。治安理论研究在发展过程中出现了由治安管理经验研究开始向治安管理学科研究转变,由治安管理学研究开始向治安学研究转变两次重要的转折。但在治安管理学、公安学的理论前提下研究、发展治安学理论,路子只会越走越窄。治安学包括理论治安学与应用治安学两个层次。理论治安学是关于社会治安系统运行条件、机制、规律、问题和控制的最一般的原理和方法论,是一门整合、融合了所有与社会治安有关的专门学科和理论的精华,形成系统理论知识的独立学科。应用治安学是在理论治安学一般性理论指导下,现有关于社会治安的各种专门学科和理论的归类集合。     

解决失地农民问题之理性思考

随着城市数量的增加和容量的扩张,失地农民问题由此而生。解决失地农民的问题,就要保障失地农民的可持续发展,必须从源头上探索出路,防患于未然,归根结底,也就是要首先解决"三农"问题。解决"三农"问题的关键,就是要打破思维定势,运用"迂回战术",跳出"三农",解决"三农"问题,即跳出农业,发展农业;减少农民,致富农民;缩小农村,发展农村。
