从“海通”轮案看期租合同的履行

期租合同双方的权利和义务,一般是由当事人根据市场行情和交易习惯自主确立的。在期租合同履行结束后,由于期租期间承租人与他人的债权债务纠纷而导致出租人的船舶被第三人申请扣押,承租人是否还要为此承担责任?如果船东为了解除对船舶的扣押而代替承租人向其债权人履行了债务,船东是否有权向承租人进行追偿?文章根据一案例探讨了与期租合同履行有关的问题。     

逮捕措施立法完善的几个问题

我国现行法律关于逮捕的规定还存在如下不足:赋予公安机关撤销和变更逮捕措施的权力造成了逻辑上的混乱,而且使得检察机关无法对此进行必要的监督;法律对检察机关逮捕决定权的规定不统一,逮捕办理部门的规定存在缺陷,浪费了有限的司法资源;逮捕一概由公安机关执行的规定过于僵化,不利于侦查办案;检察机关审查逮捕时间过短,容易造成超期限办案等。这些不足影响到逮捕制度功能的发挥。因此,必须从立法上完善相关规定。     

清代的缉捕术

有清一代,为将人犯快速、有效地缉拿归案,针对不同情形、不同目的采取不同的缉捕策略：为捕得真盗、搜得真赃,运用掩捕之术;对共同犯罪,“以盗捕盗”,从内部瓦解;为避免捕役之弊,舍捕役而“以民捕盗”;运用购线和悬赏的方式换取人犯的信息和臣民的协捕;允许因缉捕不力而承担责任的缉捕主体戴罪缉捕以调动其缉捕积极性。     

试论警察查缉战术意识及其培养

警察查缉活动是一项存在较大潜在危险性的工作。警察查缉活动的特殊性要求警察必须具备良好的战术意识。查缉战术意识包括谋略运用意识、危险评估意识、安全保护意识、角色定位意识、整体配合意识、执法程序意识等。培养和强化警察查缉战术意识,对于提高执法水平、有效打击犯罪、维护社会的长治久安以及有效地保护人身安全等,具有重要的现实意义。     

New Legal Instruments in a Changing World: Legal,Political and Cultural Developments in EU Judicial Cooperation

At the closing of the 20th century, Europe decided the time was ripe to take bold steps towards the creation of a truly integrated European judicial space. Of its overall goals for the new millennium, judicial integration ranked at the top as this reflected shifting global challenges in an increasingly diversified world. After more than a decade, the reality is still that of a policy area in which multiple practices of cooperation coexist. Indeed, political and cultural factors matter in explaining how judicial decisions and practices are harmonised and integrated by EU member states. The article focuses on a number of socialisation mechanisms adopted by the EU to build mutual trust among national authorities and also looks at the European Arrest Warrant as an important test bed of the strengths and weaknesses of European judicial cooperation.     

Using Booking Data to Model Drug User Arrest Rates: A Preliminary to Estimating the Prevalence of Chronic Drug Use

Public policy is often concerned with the size and characteristics of special populations that are difficult to reach in household surveys. Chronic drug users, who often live outside conventional households, provide the illustration motivating this paper. An alternative to household surveys is to question chronic drug users where they congregate—jails, treatment programs, and shelters, for example. Using such opportunistic data for prevalence estimation raises difficult problems for statistical inference: Study subjects who arrive at the collection points cannot be deemed a random sample of the general population. However, if we could estimate the rates at which chronic drug users arrive at the collection points, then we could use those estimates to weight the sample to represent the population. This paper presents a modified Poisson mixture model used to estimate the stochastic process that accounts for how chronic drug users get arrested. It uses that model to estimate arrest rates for 38 counties using up to sixteen quarters of data from the Arrestee Drug Abuse Monitoring survey.

从逮捕现状谈取保候审的改革与完善

逮捕是我国适用率最高的一项强制措施,而以逮捕为常态,以取保候审作为例外,这不符合人身自由保障和无罪推定原则的精神内涵。取保候审应成为逮捕的替代措施,而对取保候审制度的完善,应是一个全方位的工作,从观念的转变、立法的完善以及社会力量的充分利用,都要同时进行,各有侧重。     

INCREASING THE PROPORTION OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE ARRESTS THAT ARE PROSECUTED: A NATURAL EXPERIMENT IN MILWAUKEE*

Research Summary: Mandatory and pro‐arrest policies in domestic violence incidents have increased strains on prosecutorial and court resources. They have also brought to prosecutors many cases in which victims never wanted batterers charged and prosecuted. Prosecutors are faced with the dilemma of (a) screening out difficult cases up front and expending resources on fewer but more winnable case or (b) prosecuting a larger number of cases as adequately as resources will allow. We studied a natural experiment that resulted when the Milwaukee prosecutor liberalized his screening policy to double the number of domestic violence case filings. After the new screening policy was implemented, time to disposition doubled, convictions decreased, the prevalence of pretrial crime increased, and victim satisfaction declined. Policy Implications: The results do not support the idea that domestic violence cases can be readily prosecuted without regard for victim desires. To commit to such a policy would require a substantial commitment of additional staff, resources to collect additional types of evidence, and a willingness to try a substantially larger number of cases.
