Bosnia on the Border? Republican Violence in Northern Ireland During the 1920s and 1970s

Unionist politicians have argued that Republican political violence on the Irish border, during both the partition of Ireland and more recent Northern Ireland conflict, constituted ethnic cleansing and genocide against the Protestant/Unionist community in those areas. These views have been bolstered by an increasingly ambivalent scholarly literature that has failed to adequately question the accuracy of these claims. This article interrogates the ethnic cleansing/genocide narrative by analysing Republican violence during the 1920s and the 1970s. Drawing from a wide range of theoretical literature and archival sources, it demonstrates that Republican violence fell far short of either ethnic cleansing or genocide, (in part) as a result of the perpetrators’ self-imposed ideological constraints. It also defines a new interpretive concept for the study of violence: functional sectarianism. This concept is designed to move scholarly discussion of political and sectarian violence beyond the highly politicised and moral cul-de-sacs that have heretofore characterised the debate, and has implications for our understanding of political violence beyond Ireland.

Spouse Abuse and Child Abuse by Army Soldiers

This study analyzed data collected by the U.S. Army’s Family Advocacy Program, the group primarily responsible for family violence prevention, identification, evaluation, treatment, and follow-up on Army installations. Patterns of spouse abuse and child abuse perpetrated within a five year period (2000–2004) were examined in a sample of 10,864 Army Soldiers who were substantiated for family violence offenses. Three groups of family violence offenders were compared: (1) those who perpetrated spouse offenses only; (2) those who perpetrated child offenses only; and (3) those who perpetrated both spouse and child offenses. Results showed that the majority of substantiated family violence offenders were spouse offenders who had not committed child abuse (61%), followed by child offenders who had not committed spouse abuse (27%), and finally those who committed both spouse and child offenses (12%). The three groups of family violence offenders differed in terms of the types of abuse they perpetrated (neglect of children, emotional abuse, physical abuse, and sexual abuse), their experiences of being a spouse abuse victim, and sociodemographic characteristics. Twelve percent of all spouse abusers committed multiple spouse abuse incidents, and 10% of all child abusers committed multiple child abuse incidents.     

律师行贿法官案背后的理性思考

目前我国关于律师业务推广的规则较为简约,不够完善。以下律师业务推广行为应在规则中加以规制:第一,为推销其服务或获得雇佣而向他人或组织偿付有价值的东西;第二,律师不应为了获得经济利益,通过面谈或电话,招徕那些与律师没有家庭关系或以前无职业上的联系的潜在委托人雇佣该律师;第三,有失律师职业品格的;第四,有悖律师对司法公正的责任的。同时,应完善律师惩戒制度,律师严重的违法行为、渎职行为、不道德行为都应受吊销律师执业证书的处分。     

朱毛红军士兵委员会制度的建立与取消

士兵委员会制度的建立,是毛泽东在三湾改编期间采取的重要变革措施。这一制度砸碎了旧式军队和以农民武装为主的军队管理基础,为加强朱毛红军的民主建设起到重要作用。后来,毛泽东等人又针对士兵会制度在红四军二十九团曾经引起的某些弊端,采取了防止极端民主化等一系列措施。此后,以李立三为代表的党中央按照＂国家＂正规军的要求,颁布了《中国工农红军编制草案》等三大基本条例,里面没有建立士兵会这一项,这些条例的颁布使得士兵委员会制度无形中被取消。     

红军长征落脚点的六次选择

红军长征最后落脚陕北并不是长征一开始就确定了的,而是中共中央依据敌我情况的变化和新获得的信息,不断改变建立根据地的原定设想和计划,才一步一步确立的,期间先后至少有过六次更换,才做出最后的选择。     

红军西征与西安事变——纪念红军西征胜利与西安事变70周年

宁夏是红军西征时期的重要地区,毛泽东眼中的宁夏与“宁夏战役”,显示了当时宁夏特殊的地理空间。红军西征与三大主力胜利会师,红军与东北军、西北军之间的联系,山城堡战役的胜利,促成了西安事变,抗日民族统一战线形成。回顾历史,展望未来,红军西征与西安事变,其重大的现实作用和深远的历史影响,依旧昭示着后人。     

A Retrospective Review of Forensic Odontology Reports Written by the Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command Central Identification Laboratory for Remains Identified from the Korean War

As of August 2014, the Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command has identified the remains of 1980 previously unknown U.S. service members; 280 were from the Korean War. To determine the accuracy and completeness of the available antemortem (AM) dental records, a review of the AM/postmortem (AM/PM) dental record comparisons from 233 Forensic Odontology Reports written in support of remains identified from the Korean War was performed. Seventy‐two AM/PM comparisons resulted in exact dental chartings while 161 contained discrepancies which were explainable. Explainable discrepancies include undocumented treatment (103), incorrectly charted third molars as missing (82), differing opinions of specific molars present/missing (20), and erroneous treatment documentation and/or misidentification of teeth present/missing (22, other than molars). Reassessment has revealed varying levels of completeness for our available AM dental records, the need to thoroughly review our computerized comparisons, adjust our comparisons to include molar pattern variations/third molars, and updating our database comparison program.     

湘江战役前后中央红军兵力损失及其原因浅探
