Personal construct psychotherapy: Fixed-role therapy with forensic clients

Abstract

Fixed-role therapy, a dramaturgical approach to psychotherapy developed by Kelly in 1955, has been used in a variety of situations over the years with various client groups, including criminal offenders. Some of the benefits and limitations of fixed-role therapy with sexual abusers will be discussed. It is suggested that the strengths of some offenders, such as the social skills necessary to succeed at confidence games, be recognized and directed in fixed-role sessions. Illustrations of a number of issues will be drawn from two clinical case examples.     

Formal and Informal Volunteering in a Nordic Context: The Case of Denmark

This article compares three different forms of volunteering: formal volunteering which is typically carried out in formalized organizations; informal practical help which is most often provided in a face-to-face context and requires the giving of time; and economic assistance which requires neither the co-presence of actors nor the giving of time. The different nature and structuring of these formal and informal ways of contributing to society suggest that they require different resources. Grounded in sociological theory we argue that three sets of factors are particularly relevant for explaining volunteering: personal or ‘human capital’ factors, social network resources, and civic values. We test in a multivariate analysis how various indicators of these personal and social resources relate to the different forms of volunteering. The study relies on a comprehensive survey of the Danish adult population. The findings, therefore, are interpreted in the light of this particular institutional environment which forms the backdrop for individual choices about volunteering. We find that the different forms of formal and informal volunteering seem to form a continuum of civic engagement going from the most public to the most private. Furthermore, compared to informal ways of volunteering, formal volunteering seems to be more contingent upon access to and supply of different forms of personal and social resources.     

司法人员侵犯公民人身权利犯罪的主要表现和防治对策

在刑事司法活动中,司法人员严重侵犯公民人身权利的犯罪依然存在,尤其是社会普遍关注的刑讯逼供、暴力取证、超期羁押,体罚、虐待被监管人等,有些行为已达到了犯罪的程度,为了充分保障公民的合法权益,健全社会主义法制,必须有效地惩治和防范这类犯罪。     

论绑架罪的保护法益

绑架罪保护法益的确定,对于其构成要件的理解、停止形态的认定以及与相关犯罪的区分具有十分重要的意义。我国理论界与实务部门对绑架罪保护法益的认识伴随刑事立法的进程经历了三个主要的阶段,目前仍然存在较大分歧。从多个不同角度进行综合分析,绑架罪的保护法益不应包括“财产权利,”也不应限于“人身自由,”而应当是涵盖“自由、健康、生命”在内的“人身权利”。     

The New Securities Law from the Perspective of the Digital Economy——Interpretation of the Revision,Implementation Support and Future Prospect

The new Securities Law directly embodies the content of digital economy, mainly: upgrading the confidentiality system for customers to the protection system of investors' personal data, specifying that the carriers’information disclosure include websites of securities trading venues, stipulating that securities registration and settlement institutions can provide information services, and greatly increasing the content of electronic transactions in securities transactions. In particular, programmatic transaction and information technology system service agencies have been added. Of course, the new Securities Law needs to be further detailed in terms of information technology system service agencies and programmatic transactions. Digital technologies such as the internet, cloud computing and big data are all new technologies in the era of digital economy. Although they are not stipulated in the new Securities Law, they are of great significance to the implementation of the Securities Law. In the future, the digital economy, including crowd-funding, AI advising and block-chain settlement, shall be more fully reflected in the further amendment of the Securities Law.     

论票据抗辩中的欠缺行为能力抗辩

依现有票据抗辩理论,欠缺行为能力的抗辩被视为对物抗辩的一种类型,属于不受限制的抗辩。本文认为,不论是从民法理论的角度,还是从票据法理论的角度来看,欠缺行为能力的抗辩都应是一种可限制的抗辩。在此基础上,本文着重讨论了限制的具体情形及效力问题。     

论电子档案中个人资料的法律保护

我国档案工作已经进入电子档案时代,电子档案中的个人权利问题成为一个十分敏感的法律问题。电子档案所涉及的个人及其个人资料保护应当得到立法的支持,明确相应的保护原则,并且规制电子档案中的个人权利与档案管理者的义务。     

案外情节与人身危险性

犯前、犯后情节简单归属于人身危险性不只是语义缺损,而且违背法治原则。因为处罚未然之罪缺乏正当根据。从理论上讲,累犯、惯犯可罚性的根据是行为人蔑视、敌视法益的意志状态能被罪过归属;积极救助、赔偿被害人或者威胁被害人或因部分减轻犯罪侵害程度、或客观说明其犯罪意志状态和改变而可以影响刑罚轻重;行为人自首、立功从宽处罚在于他与法律合作的态度是其再社会化的基本要求。简言之,为安全适用刑法,所谓“人身危险性”在特定情况下可影响刑罚适用的综合评判标准,但不宜直接成为情节的定性根据。     

个人所得税扣除的人权逻辑

个人所得税的第三次修正仅是个人所得税乃至税制改革的起步,未来的制度构建应当以人权保障的理念为指引。扣除方式、方法及标准影响税收负担的大小,是个人所得税制度的重要内容之一,也牵涉诸多人权问题。必要成本费用的扣除是纳税人财产权的要求,生计费用的扣除是生存权的要求,而平等权则要求各项扣除的非歧视性。
