A Reductionist Penal Policy and European Human Rights Standards

Official discourse in many European countries advocates the use of imprisonment as a measure of last resort. This principle is also at the core of several Recommendations of the Council of Europe and a Resolution of the European Parliament. In practice, detention rates in European countries vary greatly, and many countries have witnessed an increase in their prison population. This article argues that the application of deprivation of liberty raises in itself a human rights issue, and considers the support that European human rights instruments give to a reductionist penal policy. It concludes by defending a normative argument in favour of rethinking the principle of proportionality in its application to imprisonment.     

检察官相对独立论

法学界一般认为,"人民检察院依照法律规定独立行使检察权"中的"独立"是指检察院作为整体的独立,而非检察官独立.但实际上,检察官相对独立具有检察制度内在的必然性和现实的必要性:它是检察院整体独立的基础,是"检察一体"的前提和防止"检察一体"弊端的重要措施,是检察官法律地位、活动原则、司法规律和深化司法体制改革的必然要求.检察官相对独立是依法独立,是党的领导、人大监督和"检察一体"下的独立,是"独立"与"受制"的有机统一.     

相对程度副词句法语义分析

按照比较对象是否由“比”引介，可将相对程度副词分为不能用于比字句的和能用于比字句的两类。前的比较对象或范围有时出现在上下，但更常见的是被省略或隐含；后中的“稍微”一组的比较对象除了可由“比”引介，还可以其他形式出现在上下或作为隐合成分；“更”、“还”、“越发”一组在三种句式中存在句法语义的异同。“还”和“越发”的句法语义大致对立互补，而“更”的句法语义功能则大致是前二的加合。     

The relationship of perceptions and emotions to behavior in the face of collective inequality

The present experiment investigated the role of emotions and perceptions in determining the overt behavior of disadvantaged group members. Three limitations to the existing psychological research are presented as a possible reason for the present inability to describe a consistent relationship between the emotions and perceptions of those faced with intergroup inequalities and their subsequent actions. The present experiment attempted to address these limitations by employing a laboratory paradigm in which subjects actually engage in overt behavior. As well, a broader array of emotions and perceptions were assessed and subjects were offered a variety of behaviors from which to choose. The findings point to a relatively strong relationship between emotions and perceptions on the one hand, and overt action on the other. Feelings of frustration and anger, the perception of one's personal treatment as satisfactory and just, and hope of future improvement of one's position combined to discriminate between subjects who accepted their disadvantaged position, those who took normative forms of action, those who reacted in an individual nonnormative way, and those who chose collective nonnormative behavior.     

抛尸现场相关物品的辨析

抛尸现场的相关物品是指在抛尸现场与尸体有直接联系的有关物品。刑技人员在做好现场勘验和尸体检验的同时要认真发现、提取、检验与尸体有直接联系的有关物品,分析研究有关物品的内在联系信息,为案件的侦破提供方向,为诉讼提供证据。

理性对待未成年人前科消灭制度——兼评新《刑事诉讼法》第275条

未成年人前科消灭制度在保护未成年犯罪人合法权益方面具有突出的价值,也存在一定的局限性。以刑事诉讼法修改为背景,以“相对合理主义”的立场分析实现未成年犯罪人个人利益和社会公共利益之间的平衡,分析了建立未成年人前科封存制度以及与之配套的犯罪记录查询制度的合理性。我国刑诉法对这两项制度规定有所不足,应加以完善。     

Good Faith,Flawed Assets and the Emasculation of the UK Anti‐Deprivation Rule

The Supreme Court's unanimous decision in Belmont Park Investments Pty Ltd v BNY Corporate Trustee Services Ltd and Lehman Brothers Special Financing Inc is of major significance to lenders, especially those in the global structured finance market. This case confirms the validity of commonly used insolvency‐triggered secured‐priority flip clauses, and, more generally, suggests a dramatically reduced role for the common law anti‐deprivation principle. The decision may not fully resolve market uncertainty, however, given the particular analysis adopted in the case itself (analysed here) and its divergence from the US statutory approach to the same principle.     

Dating of Inkpad Seals Using the Extraction Rate Method: Preliminary Findings

Inkpad seals are often placed on important documents, and determining the date when a seal was affixed can be important to assess the authenticity of a document. In this study, three different brands of inkpads and four different types of paper were used to make diachronic samples of the seals. A double‐solvent extraction method was employed to date the inkpad seals by comparing extraction rates with inks of known age. Cyclohexane was selected as a weak solvent, and chlorobenzene was selected as a strong solvent. After testing, curves were created to show the relationship between the extraction percentage of ink and the date of the seals. The experimental results showed that the extraction rate method was applicable for the relative dating of inkpad seals in some cases where the seal was placed on the document within 6 months.     

行政给付中法律保留原则的适用

传统的控制行政权的实践及控权论对行政给付中行政权部分适用法律保留原则起到了支撑作用。随着增进社会福利的实践发展及社会福利论的形成,行政给付作为行政义务适用法律保留原则亦有了合理性。近期重视的社会帮扶过程（程序）及＂扶权论＂,对财政行政给付适用绝对保留、政策行政给付和服务行政给付适用相对保留的分类适用,提供了正当性基础。
