Urban Drug Problems, Policymakers and the General Public

The main focus of this paper is: how strong are people's opinions and policy preferences on the issue of drugs and drug users influenced by their own exposure to drug problems? From a general population survey conducted in eleven European cities, it is concluded that opinions and policy preferences are influenced only to a limited degree by exposure. The people who are not exposed to drug problems in their neighbourhood are more strongly inclined towards a repressive approach than the people who are affected by drug nuisance. Personal experiences with illicit drugs play an important part in the viewpoints. People who have tried drugs themselves lean far more strongly towards a health approach. That tendency is even stronger among those who are exposed to drug-related nuisance.     

新媒体发展对大学生思想表达的影响

新媒体已成为中国社会文化生活的中心和推进中国社会成长的新力量。而新媒体传播机制的渗透性、舆论生产方式的煽动性、组织动员的误导性以及对接方式的虚拟性对大学生的思想表达产生了一定的负面影响。因此,在新媒体环境下如何占领新媒体舆论高地、健全高校新媒体的信息监管机制、培育新媒体中的高校意见领袖团队,多角度利用新媒体对大学生进行思想引导和道德培养,本文提出了一定的对策。     

Prevention,Crime Control or Cash? Public Preferences Towards Criminal Justice Spending Priorities

We propose and test a new methodology to assess the public’s criminal justice spending priorities. Respondents are asked to trade‐off alternative crime prevention and control policies as well as a potential tax rebate. In a nationally representative sample, we found overwhelming support for increased spending on youth prevention, drug treatment for nonviolent offenders, and police. However, the median respondent would not allocate any new money to building more prisons and would not request a tax rebate if the money were spent on youth prevention, drug treatment, or police. At the margin, we estimate the public would receive $3.07 in perceived value by spending $1.00 on youth prevention; $1.86 in value for every dollar spent on drug treatment; and $1.76 for a dollar spent on police. However, the public would not spend more on prisons, deriving only 71 cents in value for every tax dollar spent.     

列宁的党群观及其现实启示

列宁在政党和群众关系问题上有许多预见性的重要观点，如执政党最严重最可怕的危险之一就是脱离群众；只有无产阶级才能保证为大多数人的利益服务；社会主义不是少数人或某一个党所能实现的；民主政党的意见只有通过代表大会才能表达出来。在当前我国社会结构急剧变迁和民众利益诉求多样化的现实背景下，深入分析和探究列宁党群观的科学内涵与精神实质，对于我们党破解执政风险和巩固执政基础具有重要的现实启示。     

反腐倡廉建设中舆论监督联动机制的构建

反腐倡廉制度建设的核心是权力的制约和监督,而舆论监督则是整个权力制约和监督体系中的重要组成部分。要发挥舆论监督在反腐倡廉建设中的作用,应着力构建以信息公开制度为基础、以舆情收集制度为重点、以沟通反馈制度为保证、以责任追究制度为核心的舆论监督联动机制。     

社会舆论与司法机关的博弈与双赢

社会舆论与司法判决两者的权利均来自于《宪法》,一方权利的扩张,则导致权利失衡,形成社会舆论与司法机关的博弈。激烈的利益冲突使得双方两败俱伤,因此,通过在立法过程中对民意进行疏通汇总,在审判程序中完善人民陪审员制度对民意加以引导,营造社会舆论与司法机关双赢的局面至关重要。     

民意的刑事政策分析：一种双向考量后的扬弃

由刑事政策角度观之,民意是一种特殊的犯罪抗制力量,有着不可替代的反犯罪功能:通过民意的张扬与表达,可以强化民众的刑事法规范意识;民意也在很大程度上形成并保持对犯罪行为的抑制压力;抗制犯罪过程中的民意可以促进刑事政策的相机调整,以更好满足抗制犯罪的需要。但同时,民意也具有非理性、易波动性和非机制化等天然不合理成分。因此,在刑事政策中,对民意进行充分听取,理性审视、合理吸纳、适当引导的扬弃显得尤为必要;而在刑事司法环节中,又应避免民意的干扰。     

解读司法领域的民意——由邱兴华案引发的思考

目前我国,民意在与司法的碰撞中经常受到更多的尊重,这既有其正当性的一面,也有其与现代法治精神相悖的一面。对民意的尊重一定要以坚守法律至上的司法理念为前提,在此基础上,糅合国内司法现状将民意进行合理的本土化改造,让其在司法中得以充分的表达和合理的吸纳。     

新闻舆论监督如何避免名誉侵权

近年来,新闻报道引起的名誉侵权案件成为社会的热点问题,众多的新闻媒体作为被告陷入侵害名誉权纠纷案件的诉讼当中,这是大众传媒应该引起重视的问题。新闻从业者要加强法制意识,了解名誉侵权发生的原因,才能从根本上避免侵权的发生,更好地发挥媒体舆论的监督作用。     

理性化网络舆论监督的法理学思考

网络舆论监督通常在促进司法公正、遏制司法腐败等方面发挥着重要作用，但其又不可避免地会对司法独立构成侵犯。本文拟从网络媒体的特点入手，结合舆论监督与司法独立的关系，从法理学角度探讨如何引导这一新兴论媒体沿着制度化、法制化方向发展。
