The questionable advantage of defense counsel in juvenile court

This article examines the issue of legal representation in serious juvenile delinquency matters in three diverse juvenile courts. The prevalence of legal counsel varied among felony referrals. Out-of-home placement was more likely to occur if a youth had an attorney, even when other relevant legal and individual factors were the same. Within each court, the results showed more likely of placement corresponding to seriousness of the case. Although this escalation was evident among cases with attorneys and those without, placement was more apt to occur when there was legal counsel. Given these findings, we offer recommendations for issues that should be considered and possible policy actions.

法律是社会利益资源和权利的分配书。解决当前我国日趋尖锐复杂的收入分配问题,应该大力发挥经济法在分配功能。经济法在实现再分配时应遵循利益平衡原则、社会整体利益原则和有限调节原则。发挥经济法的再分配功能,建立科学分配机制,要处理好经济增长与收入分配的关系,加大利用财税杠杆调节收入分配的力度,进一步完善劳动工资立法,进一步完善社会保障法律体系,公平分配社会教育资源,缩小城乡教育投入的差距,并进一步强化经济司法。     

如何使法治成为国民的信仰

在一个法治国家,法律必须被国民信仰,且被国民信仰的法律只能是和必然是良法。在我国,要使国民信仰法律,信仰法治,必须通过政治、经济、文化和社会制度的改革,逐步形成和创设起使法律能够顺畅运行、公权力受到严密制约、违法行为受到有力制裁、社会正义得到有效维护、法治文化深入人心的法治国家机制。这种机制一旦形成,法治自然而然地就会成为国民的信仰。     

Global and Neighborhood Attitudes Toward the Police: Differentiation by Race,Ethnicity and Type of Contact

This study focused on a series of hypotheses regarding residents’ attitudes toward the police: (1) residents’ attitudes toward the police are better represented by a two-dimensional model that differentiates global perceptions of the police from assessments of the police in the respondents’ neighborhood; (2) the structure of residents’ attitudes toward the police is different for Whites, African Americans, and Latinos; (3) direct experiences with the police in the respondents’ neighborhood will be more strongly associated with the respondents’ assessment of police in their neighborhood than global perceptions of the police; and (4) the influence of direct experiences with the police will be stronger for African Americans and Latinos than for Whites. Results based on structural equation modeling offer strong support for the need to differentiate between global and neighborhood perceptions of the police. The underlining measurement structure of attitudes toward the police was similar for Whites, African Americans, and Latinos. However, the relationship between global and neighborhood attitudes was stronger for African Americans and Latinos. Negative contact with the police was associated with both negative global and neighborhood assessments of the police. Non-negative contact was associated with positive neighborhood perceptions of the police; however, only when it occurred within the neighborhood. The influence of direct experiences with the police (both inside and outside the neighborhood) was similar for Whites, African Americans, and Latinos.
