司法中利益衡量受到的挑战及应对——以利益主体多元化为分析背景

面对中国利益主体多元化趋势，司法中利益衡量受到的挑战主表现在利益衡量标准的模糊、“媒体审判”的干预及法律之外社会中的多元道德观念。文章从明晰利益衡量内涵开始，指出实践中所受到的挑战并提出法律对策。     

刑事错案纠正的偶然性

我国设置审判监督程序的目的在于尽可能及时、有效地发现、纠正错案,弱化错案的消极影响,然而事实证明,依靠申诉启动再审程序的结构性缺陷、司法机关自主纠错的动力受限、司法人员主动纠错的内在症结导致审判监督程序四种救济途径在纠错方面的整体性失灵,引发错案纠正呈现为一种偶然性的现实,违背立法对审判监督程序的价值期待。     

司法价值视阈下的审判公开

司法价值关乎具体的司法动向和司法目标的实现。在深化司法体制改革过程中,确立了司法公正、司法效率、司法民主的价值取向。审判公开在促进司法公正,提高司法效率,保障司法民主方面,彰显了司法价值。     

论我国上诉不加刑原则的完善

上诉不加刑原则是世界各国通用的原则 ,我国的上诉不加刑在司法实践中与审判监督程序相悖 ,从而淡化了被告人的上诉权 ,使上诉不加刑原则流于形式。为此 ,首先必须完善审判监督程序 ,实行有条件的不加刑 ;其次 ,刑事诉讼法应赋予公诉案件被害人的上诉权 ,平衡于被告人的上诉权。     

刑事缺席审判制度在中国的建构

刑事缺席审判的方式,有其存在的现实合理性和价值基础,应当合理权衡公正与效率的价值需求,充分考虑缺席审判的程序正当性。在我们的刑事诉讼中,如果能够合理设计缺席审判制度并有效规范它的运作,将会解决当前刑事诉讼中存在的某些相关问题。在我国确立缺席审判制度,必须明确缺席审判的适用范围,在合理控制缺席审判的发生条件的基础上,充分考虑制度设置的合理性,使缺席审判的运作合乎程序正当性的要求。     

The `Ideal' Victim v Successful Rape Complainants: Not What You Might Expect

This article proposes that feminist legal critics need to be able to explain how some rape cases succeed in securing convictions. The means by which rape cases are routinely disqualified in the criminal justice system have received widespread attention. It is well established in feminist legal critique that female complainants are discredited if they fail to conform to an archaic stereotype of the genuine or ‘real’ rape victim. This victim is not only morally and sexually virtuous she is also cautious, unprovocative, and consistent. Defence tactics for discrediting rape testimony involve exposing the complainant's alleged failure to comply with the sexual and behavioural standards of the normative victim. This understanding of how rape complain(an)ts are disqualified is not predictive, however, of the complainants whose cases succeed in securing convictions. This article reviews some successful Australian rape cases and considers the ways in which they disturb feminist understandings of how rape complaints are discredited in the criminal justice system. It proposes that recent research analysing the discourse of rape trials provides a way of explaining the apparent discrepancies between the ‘ideal’ rape victim and successful complainants.

试论在刑事审判中以“参照”方式适用法律

在现行刑法概括性、抽象性的条款较多和法律解释不够系统完善、且滞后的状况下,以"参照"方式适用法律显得十分必要;其目的符合刑法基本原则和量刑一般原则,其本质是法官自由裁量权的具体运用;但需要加以合理规范。     

The Investigation and Trial of Criminal Offences in the New Century – The Need for a Radical Change

This is the text of the Liverpool Law Review Annual Lecture 1999. Mr. Justice Hooper speaks about the need for a radical reform of the practices and procedures and rules of evidence in the Criminal Courts in England and Wales. Radical reform is needed at all stages of the process including the investigation stage, the pre-trial stage and at the trial itself. Substantive law reform is also long overdue and there is a real need to consider a new approach by the adoption of a comprehensive criminal code.

国内武装冲突中的战争犯罪审判问题研究

针对国内武装冲突中的战争犯罪行为,国家立法机关应当提供必要的惩处依据。我国现行刑法、刑事诉讼法和人民法院组织法尚不能适应追究这类犯罪的客观需要。建议通过法律修正案或单行法规的形式,尽快完善相关的实体法、程序法和组织法,促进中国特色社会主义法律体系的健全发展,为军事斗争准备提供必要的法律保障。
