从刑事诉讼法48条谈鉴定意见的证明力

在司法实践中,随着科学技术的发展,鉴定技术的运用越来越广泛。由于鉴定技术的专业性、科学性,法庭很少会去质疑鉴定结论的科学可靠性。但实际上,鉴定结论并无预定的证明力,它本质上应该是一种专家意见,而非绝对的、不容置疑的不变真理。新刑事诉讼法第48条将“鉴定结论”修改为“鉴定意见”,反映出法律更加谨慎、理智地看待鉴定意见证据的证明力。     

The effect of COVID-19 lockdowns on political support: Some good news for democracy?

Major crises can act as critical junctures or reinforce the political status quo, depending on how citizens view the performance of central institutions. We use an interrupted time series to study the political effect of the enforcement of a strict confinement policy in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Specifically, we take advantage of a unique representative web-based survey that was fielded in March and April 2020 in Western Europe to compare the political support of those who took the survey right before and right after the start of the lockdown in their country. We find that lockdowns have increased vote intentions for the party of the Prime Minister/President, trust in government and satisfaction with democracy. Furthermore, we find that, while rallying individuals around current leaders and institutions, they have had no effect on traditional left–right attitudes.     

Public Opinion Surveys and USA Foreign Policy Towards Latin America in the Second World War

In this paper, the roles of public opinion polls and agency in foreign policymaking are examined.

检察权外部监督制约机制研究

在我国,人民检察院依法独立行使检察权,实施法律监督。一个行使法律赋予的国家职能的国家机关,其自身又很可能是这一职能的调整对象。我国检察权外部监督制约机制还存在一定的弊端,应通过相应的措施进行完善。

Safe as Houses? Conservative Social Policy,Public Opinion and Parliament

Social policy is of key importance to contemporary society, accounting for two thirds of public expenditure and, through provision such as the NHS, pensions, benefits, schools, universities and social care, touching on the lives of much of the population on a daily basis. It has also been one of the areas where the Conservative party have sought to change their image, and to some extent policies, under David Cameron. Drawing upon a range of evidence, including interviews with more than ten per cent of the House of Commons and the House of Lords, this article examines the potential challenges for a Conservative government of either stance, focusing on the extent of possible support for the Conservatives' approach to social policy amongst three key groups: the public, MPs, and members of the House of Lords.
