和谐警民关系视角下的公安舆情引导对策研究——以“杭州飙车撞人事件”为例

近年来,孙志刚案、邓玉娇案等许多引起社会公众舆论关注的案件,使公安机关逐步认识到了舆情引导的重要性。舆情引导是公安机关正确决策、化解矛盾、维护稳定的重要前提,改进舆情监测工作,健全网络舆情预警机制,是构建社会主义和谐社会的必然要求。因此,做好公安舆情引导工作,营造一个社会公众理解公安和信任公安的社会舆论环境,是各级公安机关在信息化时代,在构建和谐警民关系的背景下,需要努力做好的一项重要任务。     

The impact of information acquisition on EU performance judgements

Public evaluations of EU performance are not only critical indicators of the EU's output legitimacy, but also shape future support for European integration. For citizens to monitor the political performance of the EU they need relevant facts, yet it is anything but clear that gains in information about EU performance cause change in judgements about such performance. Drawing on two‐wave panel data, this article examines whether acquiring information following a real‐world EU decision‐making event alters citizens' judgements about the utilitarian and democratic performance of the EU. It also examines how this effect differs for people with different levels of general political information. It is found that citizens who acquired performance‐relevant information became more approving of the EU's utilitarian performance but did not change their judgements about its democratic performance. Also, individuals with moderate levels of general political information were affected most strongly by new facts about performance. The implications of these findings for EU‐level representative democracy are considered.     

论网络舆情对政府制定公共政策的影响

当前我国处于网络信息新时代,网络舆情是政府了解民意的重要渠道和方法,对于民意的征求也应适当地采取网络投票、提问等方式。网络传播方式已成为我国公众表达利益诉求、维护自身权益的重要公共平台。因此,网络舆情对政府制定决策有着重要的影响,同时伴随着很大的压力,并且网络舆情的积极作用与消极作用并存,所以网络舆情状态下政府如何制定好公共政策成为考验政府能力的一个挑战。     

言息化时代区域舆论引导策略

现在我国已经进入信息化时代,信息化时代区域舆论有着明显的特点,那就是传播链广泛、传播速度快、容易被人误导等等,这些问题的存在使当前党的舆论引导工作难度不断增大。要想解决信息化时代区域舆论引导问题,必须在分析现区域舆论发展特点的基础上,详细分析舆论传播链,从控制好舆论传播链入手,辅以其他措施实现对区域舆论的有效控制,防止区域舆论异变给区域社会经济发展带来的不利影响。     

Public Support for Preventive/Corrective Remedies Against Miscarriages of Justice in Capital Cases

The present study examines public beliefs of Florida citizens about the prevalence of miscarriages of justice in their state and their level of support for various proposed remedies. The study also examines various correlates of punishment beliefs and death penalty opinions. Using a self-administered survey of venire persons called to jury duty, this study found that the public believes that the prevalence of miscarriages of justice in capital cases is quite high. The public is supportive of nearly all of the proposed remedies measured and they are willing to pay more taxes to support the implementation of such proposals. At the same time, respondents report feeling that the officials responsible for such miscarriages of justice should be severely punished. Importantly, the results show powerful evidence of broad societal consensus on each of these issues. Legal and criminal justice policy implications of these findings are offered.     

Turning the Other Cheek: Reassessing the Impact of Religion on Punitive Ideology

Religion has long been recognized as an underlying aspect of correctional policies. Researchers, however, have only recently begun to move beyond considerations of how fundamentalist Christian affiliations might shape preferences for punitive correctional policies. The present study broadens the extant research by examining multiple aspects of religious beliefs and how they affect support for capital punishment and harsher local courts. Analyses of General Social Survey data show that religion has divergent effects. Beyond a mere fundamentalist or conservative religious view, those who have a rigid and moralistic approach to religion and who imagine God as a dispassionate, powerful figure who dispenses justice are more likely to harbor punitive sentiments toward offenders. In contrast, those who have a gracious or loving image of God and who are compassionate toward others—that is, those who take seriously the admonition to “turn the other cheek”—are less supportive of “get tough” policies. In the end, not only is religion a multi‐dimensional phenomenon but also its features likely coalesce to divide believers into opposite camps—with one set of attributes fostering harsh sentiments toward offenders and another set of attributes tempering punitiveness and justifying interventions aimed at helping the criminally wayward.     

试论网络舆论引导的法律保障机制

健全网络舆论引导法律保障机制,既是网络舆论自身发展规律的迫切需要,也是网络舆论监管文件规范性的必然要求。健全网络舆论引导,要在坚持维护国家主权与安全、保障社会公共利益、加强自律与依法引导相结合、责任严明、程序正义等基本原则的基础上,通过加强立法,完善网络舆论引导的法律体系以及网络舆论引导的法律保障机制。     

我国刑事司法鉴定制度的新发展与新展望

2012年《刑事诉讼法修正案》中有关刑事鉴定制度的新发展主要体现在确立了“鉴定意见”的称谓、建立了鉴定人作证的特定保护制度、完善了鉴定人出庭作证制度、取消了省级人民政府指定医院的鉴定权、创建了专家辅助人制度等。这些新发展在确保鉴定结果的真实性与合法性、保障鉴定人、当事人等的合法权益、促进刑事司法鉴定制度乃至证据法制的现代化发展等方面具有积极意义。但从长远角度来看,未来还应在立法技术、司法鉴定启动模式、鉴定人出庭作证、强制鉴定以及司法鉴定期间等方面继续推进。     

“面子”文化、舆论监督与中国政治体制改革途径

中国政治体制的基本特征在于权力过分集中。中国集权传统政治文化、中国政治体制改革主体和改革对象的同一性以及未来中国的现代化进程,无疑是影响中国政治体制改革途径选择的重要考量因素。中国政治体制改革途径应遵循限权而非分权的改革思路,在具体途径选择上应注重发挥中国传统"面子"文化中社会成员之间相互监督和主动接受监督的社会规范功能,同时发挥媒体监督供给相关信息的作用,为"面子"文化社会规范功能的实现提供充分保障。     

Conflicting Consensus

Abstract

Limited research exists on the extent to which the public supports the criminalization of domestic violence, and whether people believe police pro-arrest policies will deter future offending. Based on conflict theory, it is hypothesized that there will be differences in support for criminalization between powerful (i.e., middle to upper class Caucasian men) and less powerful demographic groups (i.e., women, minorities, and the economically and educationally disadvantaged). Data were collected from a randomized telephone survey of Alabama residents and analyzed using ordered regression models. Results indicate that a majority of respondents agreed with a pro-arrest policy for domestic violence; however, age, education, income, and gender subgroup differences offer support for the conflict model. An additional finding that domestic violence victimization plays a significant role in the formulation of respondents' attitudes toward these policies needs to be more closely investigated.
