论证人刑事责任豁免制度

证人刑事责任豁免制度是现代西方法治国家的一项重要刑事司法制度。其基本功能和价值在于保证国家对重大犯罪的打击力度和实现司法资源的合理配置。我国在司法实践中已经出现过相关的案例 ,但是由于刑事诉讼基本理论研究的匮乏和立法的缺失 ,造成了实践的处理与现行法律规定的不相协调。因此 ,应结合我国具体的法治情况 ,借鉴外国有关该制度的立法成果 ,构建我国的证人刑事责任豁免制度     

《刑事诉讼法》的再修改：全面确立无罪推定原则

法治社会是我国有中国特色社会主义的建设目标，刑事司法更文明、人道、民主是我国法制建设的目的，尤其是无罪推定原则因其为国际刑事司法最低标准之一而成为诸多国际公约与法律文件所规定的原则，而这些公约与国际法律文件中，有不少是我国已加入或即将加入的，根据国际条约必须信守的原则，我国没有理由拒绝无罪推定原则。我们应当在《刑事诉讼法》的再修改中确立完整的无罪推定原则。

张家山汉简《二年律令》所见刑罚原则

张家山汉简《二年律令》是西汉初年的法律辑录 ,这批简文对刑事责任年龄、故意与过失、数罪的处罚等都有较细密的规定。其它刑罚原则有诬告反坐原则、证言不实反坐原则、连坐原则、上诉不实加刑原则等。汉律在定罪量刑时 ,充分考虑皇权和尊长的地位 ,对于触犯皇权和尊长都要从重处罚。此外 ,对于触犯人伦、群盗犯罪以及官吏犯罪也予以重惩 ,而对于自首和犯罪后自动减轻犯罪后果等则采取从轻处罚的原则。汉初的刑罚原则与秦律所载刑罚原则基本相同 ,西汉武帝以后在具体的操作细节和适用标准方面有所改变。

在司法实践中拾得遗失物与盗窃罪的界限容易模糊,行为人非法窃取有保管义务人的遗失物应认定盗窃 罪,拾得真正遗失物拒不返还应构成侵占罪。拾得支票、存折等证券进一步支取行为应具体分析,当银行对支票、存 折没有实质审查义务时,应构成盗窃罪,当银行对支票、存折有实质审查义务时,应构成诈骗罪及盗窃罪的想象竞合 犯,从一重罪处断。     

The Chat Room Moderator: Creating a Duty for Parents to Control Their Cyberbully

The advent of new technologies allowing people to communicate via the Internet has opened many windows to social interaction. At the same time, it has shifted the focus of child harassment from the playground to the computer. Instead of face‐to‐face bullying, children are now being bullied on the Internet, in a phenomenon known as “cyberbullying.” Cyberbullying is widespread, affecting generally twenty‐five percent of the child population in the United States. It is also more dangerous, as a child can be bullied at any time in the supposed comfort of his/her own home. To combat this behavior, many states have passed measures to ban or criminalize cyberbullying in school‐related settings. Nevertheless, children and adolescents continue to cyberbully their peers. Furthermore, most of these statutes do not address cyberbullying that occurs outside school or from a child's own home. Thus, this Note proposes that cyberbullying can be better combated by placing responsibility on parents to reasonably control their children in cases of cyberbullying. Based on the recently enacted ‘Cyber‐safety Act” from the Canadian Province of Nova Scotia and Restatement of Torts § 316, this Note proposes (1) placing tort responsibility on parents who know that their child is a cyberbully and do nothing about it and (2) allowing parents to avoid liability when their child truly cannot be controlled.

Key Points for the Family Court Community
• Cyberbullying is a major problem that must be addressed beyond the schoolyard.
• The law may provide recourse for the parents of a cyberbullying victim and can hold the parents of a cyberbully responsible.
• The Nova Scotia Cyber‐safety Act is a good model for holding parents liable for their child's acts because it balances the desire to end cyberbullying and the understanding that some minors are uncontrollable.

     

‘Whiteness,’ criminality,and the double standards of deviance/social control

White criminality is increasingly defined and controlled via the medical model. This is made possible by the white racial frame, which constructs ‘whiteness’ as normative and white deviance as individual aberration or mental illness. Conversely, the white racial frame constructs Blackness as synonymous with criminality. Media depictions of crime and criminals play a central role in furthering this framing, which provides the underlying legitimation for disparities in social control. The result is double standards of definition and control which medicalize whiteness and criminalize Blackness. This differential framing of whiteness and Blackness provides the foundation for the expansion of both the medical and prison industrial complexes, which are characterized by real racial differences despite comparable patterns of deviance across racial lines.
