十六大以来中央领导集体党建理论的新发展

十六大以来,以胡锦涛为总书记的党中央坚持以马列主义、毛泽东思想、邓小平理论和"三个代表"重要思想为指导,在党的建设问题上进行新的探索,及时总结党建新经验,取得了一系列重大的理论成果。     

关于新形势下党的理论工作的探索与思考

党的理论工作是党的建设的首要任务,关系到我党的生死存亡和国家事业的兴衰;随着社会经济的发展尤其是经济全球化的加速,价值观的全球化和多元性、社会主义事业跨入新阶段和党的队伍的新变化等因素使党的理论工作面临新挑战。因此,加强党的理论建设,为党的理论工作建设提供新方法、新视角,开拓新思路、新渠道,是当前党建工作的一项重要内容。     

论现代生命科技发展对我国刑法基础理论的冲击

现代生命科技的迅猛发展对刑法处罚范围、刑事立法的稳定性、刑法法益保护范畴、刑法解释理论等刑法基础理论提出挑战。面对现代生命科技,我国刑法必须针对性地作出调整,以便能有的放矢地进行应对,其主要路径一是强化刑法解释,拓展刑法适用空间;二是增设大量生命科技类别的犯罪。     

民事诉讼调解制度的未来——回归其本质

诉讼调解是一种传统的解决纠纷方式,它在彻底解决纠纷、维护社会稳定方面发挥着重要的作用,但是随着社会的转型,审判方式的逐渐改革以及人们权利意识的增强,诉讼调解在解决纠纷方面也暴露出了种种弊端,这些弊端已经使调解制度在一定程度上发生了异化,基于此有必要对诉讼调解制度进行完善,使其回归其本质——纠纷解决方式.     

我国刑罚体系改革的现代化坐标：以检视主附加刑模式为支点

刑罚体系改革是刑罚制度改革的基点与核心。主附加刑模式存在诸多缺陷。应根据犯罪分层理论建立以自由刑和财产刑为主的轻重自然人刑罚体系。独立的法人犯罪刑罚体系可以参照自然人刑罚体系规定刑种及轻重。应发挥广义保安处分制度的整合性机能,与改革后的传统刑罚体系融合为二元刑罚制裁体系。     

危险个人概念的产生溯源

危险个人概念产生于19世纪中后期.当时,工业经济快速发展,人口迅猛增加,但社会环境恶化,危险个人大量涌现,严重威胁着社会安全.这一概念的产生还受到了实证主义、达尔文进化论以及精神病学的发展的影响,而且与国家惩罚权力的转型密切相关.     

论英国土地保有关系对债作为财产所有权客体的影响

英国法上,财产所有权的客体不是有体物而是财产利益。英国法财产所有权客体的形成有其特定的历史原因,土地保有关系的产生是英国法财产权客体定位为财产利益的根本原因,土地保有关系模式下的这种立法思想深深影响了英国所有权客体理论。在英国法上,任何具有独占排他的财产利益均可以成为所有权的客体,因合同等原因而产生的债属于债权人的财产利益,因此英国法将其作为所有权的客体。英国法明确区分因合同产生的债的所有权以及合同权利本身,英国法的债权的二分理论值得我国学界研究。     

Gendered Responses to Serious Strain: The Argument for a General Strain Theory of Deviance

This paper expands and builds on newer avenues in research on gender and general strain theory (GST). I accomplish this by focusing on serious strains that are relevant for males and females, including externalizing and internalizing forms of negative emotions, and including multiple gendered deviant outcomes. Using the Add Health dataset, I find strong support for the impact of serious strains on both types of negative emotions and different forms of deviance for males and females. However, the experience of serious strain, emotionally and behaviorally, is gendered. Depressive symptoms are particularly important for all types of deviance by females. Including multiple types of deviant outcomes offers a fuller understanding of both similarities and differences by gender. These results support the utility of GST as a theory of deviance in general and support greater connections between GST, feminist theorizing, and the sociology of mental health.     

Kalevipoeg: Aspects of Genre and Authorship

F. R. Kreutzwald introduced the Estonian national epic Kalevipoeg (1861) as genuine folklore, overshadowing his own prevalent role in its creation: the problems of genre and authorship persist in the text. Firstly, Kalevipoeg was shaped by the poetics of romantic balladry. This can be proved by its author’s devotion to the ballad; in addition, many a lyro-epic folk song has been integrated into Kalevipoeg. Thus, a ballad-like lyro-dramatical-epical structure bears upon the work which gave rise to a new form: the lyro-epic epic. Secondly, a complex cluster of authorship can be extracted from Kalevipoeg: personal, fictional, intertextual, and discursive authorships.     

GENERATIVE EXPLANATIONS OF CRIME: USING SIMULATION TO TEST CRIMINOLOGICAL THEORY*

This study demonstrates that computational modeling and, in particular, agent‐based modeling (ABM) offers a viable compatriot to traditional experimental methodologies for criminology scholars. ABM can be used as a means to operationalize and test hypothetical mechanisms that offer a potential explanation for commonly observed criminological phenomena. This study tests whether the hypothesized mechanisms of environmental criminology are sufficient to produce several commonly observed characteristics of crime. We present an ABM of residential burglary, simulating a world inhabited by potential targets and offenders who behave according to the theoretical propositions of environmental criminology. A series of simulated experiments examining the impact of these mechanisms on patterns of offending are performed. The outputs of these simulations then are compared with several well‐established findings derived from empirical studies of residential burglary, including the spatial concentration of crime, repeat victimization, and the journey to crime curve. The results from this research demonstrate that the propositions of the routine activity approach, rational choice perspective, and crime pattern theory provide a viable generative explanation for several independent characteristics of crime.
