Unproblematic archaeology 1

This article, focusing on regional development issues, discusses thepolicy alternatives that might be mobilized to reverse the centralizing forces unleashed by the pursuit of neo-liberal policies in the European Union. It highlights the limitations of contemporary versions of the managed economy model, and explores the significance of anemerging model of development rooted in socioeconomics, and stressing the powers of ‘associationism’. While broadly sympathizing with this third way-in between market and hierarchy - as a basis for generating economic success, the article goes on to argue that questions of social equity and political democracy remain unresolved by the associationist agenda.     

Assessing the Needs of Women Recently Released From Prison

The growing number of females incarcerated in the United States suggests that greater importance needs to be placed on preparing practitioners and communities for their eventual release from prison. Female offenders present a unique set of needs, including greater mental health, substance abuse, and medical health problems than their male counterparts. Furthermore, women may possess unique needs at various points of their involvement with the criminal justice system (i.e., before, during, and following a period of incarceration). The current study examines the needs of female offenders while they are reentering the community from the perspective of community service providers who work directly with recently incarcerated women. Survey results reveal that community service providers identify needs in 7 domains. Prevalence and urgency measures provide unique profiles of the needs of female offenders, and respondent reports of the effectiveness of the existing community-based service sector lead to numerous implications and suggestions for future research.     

Demographic and abuse characteristics in adolescent male sexual offenders with “special needs”

Adolescent sexual offenders with “special needs” are thought to pose different challenges for therapists working clinically. However, this population has received little attention in the literature, with the research in this area very limited. This study looked at the demographic and abuse characteristics of 24 adolescent sexual offenders with “special needs” who were compared with a group of 155 male adolescent sexual offenders with no special needs. Significant differences were found between the two groups. Those with special needs had higher levels of all forms of abuse, and differences were also found on some sub-scales of the Child Behaviour Checklist. Implications for research and clinical practice are discussed.

制定旅游基本法之法理求证

立法需求来自于现实需要。我国旅游业的迅猛发展及国际旅游交往的频繁使得旅游基本法成为现实之需求。旅游基本法缺位我国旅游法律体系的根本缺陷;入世承诺制定旅游基本法的客观要求;制定旅游基本法旅游立法内在规律的必然要求。     

美国言论自由之民意基础实证考察

实证考察表明,美国绝大多数公民在理论上崇尚言论自由,但在实践中却并非如此。美国之所以成为世界上言论自由保障程度最高的国家,这既与美国的自由主义政治、文化、法律传统相关联,又与美国司法界、学术界对言论自由价值的日益重视以及新闻媒体的身体力行密不可分。针对现实生活中存在的某些充满道德与法律争议的言论,多数美国公民的否定性态度与司法、学术和新闻传媒领域的主流群体所秉持的宽容与开放的立场,形成了评判美国言论自由事业的两个关键性支点和衡平力量。在美国宪政框架内,美国特色之言论自由事业的快车将驶向何方,值得中外学界不断关注与研究。     

论刑事诉讼的北美模式

发现案件的客观真实是刑事诉讼所追求的首要和主要目的,法庭审判选择哪种诉讼模式取决于其是否能够实现客观真实.在这方面北美国家纯粹的对抗制表现出严重缺陷,由陪审团进行审判甚至会加深这些缺陷.在北美刑事诉讼中占据支配地位的辩诉交易制度,由于取消了以公开和言词审理为中心的庭审方式,使得刑事诉讼脱离了其所追求的客观真实目的,而转向仅仅证明谁能在诉讼中取胜.这不仅在理论上破坏了北美刑事诉讼的公正性,而且导致了刑事诉讼实践中的根本改变.但是,正是辩诉交易存在的这些可疑却很有诱惑力的影响,使得北美的刑事诉讼模式对于欧洲当代的刑事诉讼改革有着如此大的吸引力.
