周予同主编《中国历史文选》校注商略

周予同先生主编的《中国历史选》在各高校历史系中已使用多年，但在校注方面还存在诸多问题，如古今地名对照多有差错，标点亦有误点，少量字还存在讹误，许多清代人物的资料出处亦与事实不符，本对书中的有关问题予以考证。     

债务重组产生的社会效应及其对策

<企业会计准则-债务重组>对解决我国市场经济条件下债务纠纷问题起到了很好的作用,但也产生了一些负效应,使债权人的利益受到影响,信用危机加大.因此,作为债权人以及债务人的企业必须以正常心态关注和参与市场竞争,减少债务纠纷,使赊购赊销业务正常进行,持续经营,维护社会安定团结.     

论私录视听资料的证据能力

未经当事人同意而录制的视听材料有可能涉及被录制者的隐私.之所以规定不得采用法律所禁止的方法收集视听资料,是为了保护当事人的隐私权.传统理论认为侵犯被录制者隐私权的私录资料不具有合法性.但隐私与隐私权并不相同,对私录资料证据能力的认识须从解释论与立法论的角度分别考虑.从解释论角度,如果私录资料侵犯了他人的隐私权,那么该证据资料便会因不具备合法性而被排除在诉讼之外;如果只涉及隐私而未侵犯隐私权,便可具有证据能力.而在立法论,那些即使侵犯了隐私权的私录资料也同样具有证据能力,可以作为认定案件事实的根据,但这并不妨碍隐私权人在本案诉讼结束之后对侵权人另行提起诉讼保护自己的隐私权.     

Seeing is believing: observer perceptions of trait trustworthiness predict perceptions of honesty in high-stakes emotional appeals

Instantaneous first impressions of facial trustworthiness influence the manner in which observers evaluate ensuing information about stranger targets [e.g. Porter, S., &; ten Brinke, L. (2009). Dangerous decisions: A theoretical framework for understanding how judges assess credibility in the courtroom. Legal and Criminological Psychology, 14, 119–134. doi:10.1348/135532508X281520]. In two studies, we examined the association between perceptions of general trustworthiness and honesty assessments in an extremely high-stakes sample – individuals publicly pleading for the return of a missing relative, half of whom had killed the missing individual. In Study 1, observers (N?=?131) provided trustworthiness ratings – either before or after viewing and evaluating the honesty of videotaped or audio-only pleas – for a still image that depicted a neutral expression on the face of each pleader. In Study 2, observers (N?=?220) evaluated the sincerity of audio pleas paired either with an untrustworthy-looking target, a trustworthy-looking target, or no target face. Collectively, our findings indicated that first impressions of trait trustworthiness form the basis of state judgments of honesty, potentially contributing to misguided credibility assessments and miscarriages of justice in the legal system.     

Disclosure of child sexual abuse: expressed emotions and credibility judgments of a child mock victim

Both lay persons and professionals believe that the emotions displayed by a child witness during disclosure of sexual abuse are a factor of importance when judging the child's credibility. Unfortunately, not all children display emotions according to expectations, leading to misjudgments, and possible miscarriage of justice. In the present study, we examined how lay people's credibility judgments were influenced by a child's displayed emotions during the disclosure of sexual abuse. Participants (n?=?119), viewed video recordings of a mock police interview of an 11-year-old child actor disclosing sexual abuse, displaying one of four emotional expressions (angry, sad, neutral, and positive). Results showed that participants were strongly influenced by the emotions displayed; in particular, the display of strong negative emotions (anger) or positive emotions during disclosure significantly reduced judged credibility. The credibility ratings predicted the participant? judgments of the defendant's guilt and the willingness to pass a guilty vote in a hypothetical trial.     

新媒体环境下政府公关危机的成因探析

政府公关危机在新的媒体环境下显示出多元的新特点。伴随着新媒体的发展,尤其是网络媒体的兴起,政府的危机管理模式和公共关系受到新媒体环境的剧烈冲击。用三重危机源说结合社会燃烧理论可以将社会危机事件分解为形成、发酵和爆发三个阶段,网络媒体在每一阶段都起着加速传播和扩大影响的作用。因此,对三重危机源与新网络媒体环境并存这一背景的分析是探究新时期政府公关危机形成的关键所在,同时也是政府公关危机研究的新视角所在。     

英美民事诉讼法中对证言可靠性的审查及其启示

根据英美法系,证言的可靠性包括证言的可信赖性与证言的可信任性,这样的分类对我国具有极大的借鉴意义,其以此分类为基础建立的唤醒记忆、品格证据提出、对陪审团的特殊指引等证言的可靠性审查制度也对我国具有一定的启示。我国目前对证言可靠性的审查存在一定的缺陷,尤其对证言的证据效果的认定上需要进行完善。借鉴英美法系对证言可靠性的审查制度,我国民事诉讼法应该明确证言可靠性对证据证明力的影响、引入品格证据、加强法官对证言可靠性的审查意识等方面予以改善。     

美国联邦刑法法典化述评

美国联邦尚无刑法典,然自建国后,联邦一直致力于刑法法典化,从1790年《治罪法》至1948年《联邦法典》第18主题,到1982年《联邦刑法典草案》,长达200多年的刑法法典化事业至今未竟。联邦刑法法典化呈现独有品性,即启于内外因素双重驱动、历经形式编纂到实质编纂、本体即权力扩张与限制、价值思维系理想主义与实用主义之统合。联邦刑法法典化目的理性,其搁浅缘于工具不善。基于现有刑法不力、刑法治危机以及刑法典的天然优势之事实,结合刑法有效、公正、人道之目的,得以推导出刑法法典化仍需继续之应然结论。未来,联邦刑法法典化之路仍旧遍地荆棘,而联邦刑法典能否问世,取决于美国所动用的实践理性。     

同案同判下司法技术与情理的平衡

同案同判旨在通过指导案例和类案检索制度促进法律统一适用,从而树立司法公信力。同案同判表示着司法技术化趋势,而司法技术化是中国近代以来愈加推崇的形式理性及其所引领的市场经济、科技发展的必然结果。同案同判一方面保证了法律的确定性与司法的形式正义,另一方面却因法律适用过程中的技术化操作牺牲了部分个案的实质正义。既然同案同判的最终目的是向社会树立司法公正价值,那么就必须兼顾社会公正观。当代社会的主流公正观是在法治前提下追求情理法兼容。这是法律儒家化的结果,符合中华文明的和谐平衡观,是传统司法的首要原则。司法技术化与传统情理法的冲突,深层次是中西文化、传统与现代的冲突。近代以来,中国对技术过度迷信,导致司法公正与民众公正观的间隙扩大。这需以情理法兼容的传统予以调和,使司法不仅仅是科学的法律知识与程序之学,更是兼顾伦理观的司法技艺。司法技术只能作为解决当前司法适用不统一的过渡与辅助手段,长远来看,需通过拓展法官的综合知识与培育伦理素质以正确适用、阐释法律。     

Detection of Gunshot Residue on Dark‐Colored Clothing Prior to Chemical Analysis

Detection of gunshot residue (GSR) is an arduous task for investigators. It is often accomplished with chemical tests, which can reveal elements and ions indicating the presence of GSR, but are likely to cause physical alteration to the pattern. In this study, the Spex Forensics Mini‐CrimeScope MCS 400, along with 16 accompanying wavelength filters, was applied to various GSR patterns and target types. Three dark shirt materials, four ammunition calibers, and eight ammunition manufacturers, along with the primer residue of the different manufacturer ammunitions were tested. Results indicate the alternate light source wavelength of 445 nm to be the optimal setting. In addition, target material plays a large role in the preservation of GSR patterns as particles burn. Furthermore, it can be extrapolated that residue, observed from a full round and firing distance of six inches, is mostly composed of unburnt gunpowder residue, not primer residue.
