论被害人权利及其对侦查的影响

在刑事诉讼领域内关注和保障被害人权利,其意义在于:关注和保障被害人权利是人权保障的必要内容;关注和保障被害人权利是诉讼公正的基本要求;关注和保障被害人权利是惩罚犯罪的重要条件。我国对被害人权利和诉讼地位的法律规定取得了一些突破,但也存在一些缺陷。被害人权利对侦查的影响表现在对侦查权启动的影响、对侦查程序诉讼性质的影响,以及对侦查方式的影响等。     

军人域外犯罪刑事管辖特点探析

近年来,我军参与实施的涉外军事行动大幅增加,军人赴海外执行任务面临诸多法律问题,其中军人犯罪后的刑事管辖问题是亟待解决的重要问题,而军人域外犯罪刑事管辖呈现出的诸多特点,如域外犯罪军人一般处于本国控制以下,域外实施的部分犯罪与犯罪国没有实质联系,关涉对国家利益尤其是军事利益的保护,涉及管辖权冲突等。     

中国司法改革过程中的重要探索——从构建中国特色的非法证据排除规则历程看中国司法改革

2010年5月30日，最高人民法院、最高人民检察院、公安部、国家安全部、司法部联合宣布的两个证据规定的出台标志着具有中国特色的非法证据排除规则正式确立，从此，司法机关和侦查机关在实践中有了法律依据。这是我国司法改革中一件具有划时代意义的大事，也是构建我国非法证据排除规则和统一的刑事证据规则的重要步骤。本文重点探讨的是非法证据排除规定的具体内容及其对中国刑事司法改革的作用和我们的非法证据排除规定的特点。     

论我国刑法修改方式不足及完善

立法者在修改刑法典时,必须坚持刑法修改的必要性原则,做到刑事处罚解决社会问题的最后性和充分发挥刑法解释的作用。刑法典采用修正案的单一修改方式,虽然有其优点,但存在诸多问题。为解决刑法体系的失衡问题,我们应该打破将修正案作为刑法唯一修改方式的观念,采取刑法修正案、单行刑法与附属刑法相结合的方式来完善整个刑法体系。     

试论我国刑法第285条计算机犯罪的立法完善

在信息化时代，计算机犯罪日益猖獗。我国现行的刑法对计算机犯罪的规定已不能满足打击计算机犯罪的需要。我国刑法中最能体现打击计算机犯罪的是第285条，并且《刑法修正案七》在原有的基础上也对计算机犯罪进行了补充和完善，但是漏洞和不足仍然存在。因此，需要对我国刑法第285条计算机犯罪的立法加以完善。     

对我国刑事简易程序的反思——从公正与效率相协调的观念入手

公正与效率的不同属性决定了两者之间必然存在矛盾,在确保司法公正的前提下最大限度地提高司法效率是世界各国的共同追求,也是刑事简易程序制度的应有之义。在刑事司法领域,大量刑事案件积压所导致的司法审判拖延问题日益突出。刑事诉讼法修订后简易程序制度仍然存在着缺陷,应当在保证最低公正的底线前提下构建多元化的刑事简易程序。

Don't Mention the War: The Court of Appeal,the Criminal Cases Review Commission and Dealing with the Past in Northern Ireland

Despite the vast transitional justice scholarship relating to prisoner release, amnesties and prosecutions when conflicts end, there is a significant gap in practice and academic literature regarding wrongful convictions. Uniquely amongst post‐conflict societies, Northern Ireland has a body for investigating miscarriages of justice, albeit one designed for ‘ordinary’ appeals. In the absence of a formal truth‐recovery process, criminal appeals are becoming a proxy for addressing the role of the state during ‘The Troubles,’ as well as remedying individual injustices. This article examines the approach of the Northern Ireland Court of Appeal during the conflict. It charts the developments in its decision‐making following the cease‐fires and the establishment of the Criminal Cases Review Commission. It concludes that the current system is unsatisfactory as it ignores the effects of the conflict on the appeal process and offers no insights into the role of the Court during the conflict. Alternative models are suggested.     

Justice as freedom,fairness, compassion,and utilitarianism: How my life experiences shaped my views of justice

This essay lays out my definition of justice and traces the origins of its conception. I identify and discuss very specific life experiences and how they have affected my understanding of justice. Specific incidents include early childhood experiences, key events in adolescence, and the most important episodes from early adulthood. I examine my own family conditions and early relationships and consider the influences of certain television shows and music in childhood and adolescence. I also discuss the effects of various educational experiences. The culmination of these life experiences was the emergence of a very strong sense of justice, reciprocity, and compassion for others, particularly for the least powerful and most vulnerable in our midst. These experiences in essence pushed me into the field of criminal justice and into the worlds of academia and social justice activism. They also allowed me finally to see my mission in life and to understand how all my life experiences have shaped my sense of justice.     

Critical justice consciousness: Social injustice and the criminal justice system

In this essay I examine the importance of social justice to my identity and the changing interpretation of my “justice consciousness” resulting from changes in my work life. Drawing on my academic experience as well as my experience as an attorney, I describe the meaning that social justice has for me. I also examine the connections that I see between social injustice and the operation of the critical justice system.
