Buried voices: Mexican migrants’ views on the question of illegality

How do immigrant Mexican workers perceive the policies and social discourses that regulate their insertion into American society as noncitizens and illegals? Using ethnographic fieldwork and in-depth interviews, evidence is presented that unauthorized Mexican migrants do not consider themselves lawbreakers but rather moral actors responding to difficult socioeconomic conditions. Informed by a keen understanding of the social forces oppressing them, these migrants articulate a discourse of social justice that works as a powerful counterpoint to the hegemonic ideas of citizenship, belonging, and illegality. A careful analysis of migrant social reflexivity offers a much-needed corrective to the prevailing top-down perspective typically offered among contemporary scholars. By looking at the ways in which migrants make sense of immigration policies and articulate their right to have rights, this examination departs from the widespread tendency among scholars and policy makers of analyzing the migrant’s social and civic status as a matter of assimilation and immigration control.     

论刑事诉讼中的电子数据

2012年修改的《刑事诉讼法》将电子数据首次规定为法定证据种类,但电子数据的相关证据规则仍不够完善。我国现有关于电子数据的研究多集中于电子数据取证、鉴定等技术方法,缺少对电子数据证据能力、证明力及证据规则的研究。从电子数据在司法实践中存在的问题出发,在电子数据的证据属性,电子数据的鉴真、鉴定,非法证据排除规则等几个方面探讨如何加强对电子数据的证据限制问题。     

On the Resilience of Illegal Drug Markets

This paper argues that the concept of resilience is a fruitful way of understanding the impact of repressive policies on illegal drug markets. For the purpose of this article, resilience is defined as the ability of market participants to preserve the existing levels of exchanges between buyers and sellers, despite external pressure aimed at disrupting the trade. The first part of the paper highlights how some of the core features of illegal drug markets, a decentralized structure and high prices, contribute to increasing their resilience to attacks. The second part develops a framework that can be used to compare markets on the basis of their resilient properties. Some of the empirical and policy implications of the framework are discussed in the conclusion.     

衡量群众路线教育实践活动成效的标准

群众路线是党的生命线和根本工作路线,开展群众路线教育活动是十八大提出的一项重要任务。通过以为民、务实、清廉为主要内容,以集中解决形式主义、官僚主义、享乐主义和奢靡之风为主要任务,以群众认不认可、满不满意、高不高兴为评价标准,切实解决群众的实际问题,密切党同群众的血肉联系。活动对于改进党的工作作风,夯实党的执政基础,巩固党的执政地位,都具有十分重要的现实意义。

Positive Youth Development Among African American Adolescents: Examining Single Parents as a Factor

Over the past few decades researchers have begun to examine the importance of understanding positive youth development and the many contexts in which youth find themselves. The social contexts in which adolescent development occurs are varied and complex, particularly the development among African American youth. African American youth are faced with a number of challenges including living in single-parent homes, high teen pregnancy rates, and poor neighborhoods, yet many of these youth continue to thrive. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between family structure (single-parenting) and adolescent outcomes such as educational aspirations and sexual activity among African American adolescent youth aged 12–17. Approximately 462 African American youth were surveyed. A number of positive results emerged; for instance, there was a negative correlation between family structure and educational aspirations. The number of parents in the home did not interfere with youth wanting to complete high school and go on to college (r = ? .218, r² = .04, p < .05). The results also showed that as educational aspirations increased, the number of sexual partners decreased (r = ? .141, meaning that the more adolescents reported a desire to complete high school, they were less likely to report having sexual intercourse. These positive results should be promoted among African American youth so that those faced with these challenges will note that others have overcome and accomplished their goals. In this population educational aspirations were important. Limitations and future research are discussed.     

Assessing the Health Behaviors of African American Emerging Adults

The purpose of this article was to assess the overall health behaviors of African American emerging adults who live in a Midwestern city. Two hundred participants, ages 18–25, completed a 129-item survey. Results indicate that African American emerging adults are engaged in relatively healthy behaviors (i.e., physical activity, low substance use). The results also showed that within the emerging adult developmental period, there are differences in behavior for those who are in the younger (18–20) versus those that are older (21–25) in the developmental period. Limitations, future research, and implications for practice will also be discussed.     

网络有偿删帖发帖的入罪反思——以“立二拆四”非法经营案为切入点

非法经营罪自设立以来,司法解释对其进行过数次扩张,实践中绕过该罪条文及相关司法解释而直接以非法经营罪定罪的案例层出不穷,非法经营罪堵截条款的防线有被突破的嫌疑。近期,司法解释将有偿删帖发帖行为规定为非法经营罪,这一方面不符合非法经营罪的罪质特征,另一方面也违背了刑法体系解释的解释原理。通过不断扩充非法经营罪的司法解释来规制实践中花样翻新的违法经营行为,这使得非法经营罪的口袋化基因愈发明显,非法经营罪的口袋化趋势急需遏制。     

恐怖活动犯罪概念之比较分析——以中美英三国为例

英文terrorism常被译为"恐怖主义",既指某种恐怖的理念,也泛指在恐怖理念指导下的犯罪行为。但如果在法律框架内展开讨论,那么terrorism应当被理解为中文语境下的"恐怖活动犯罪"。我国通过刑法修正案、行政认定标准和最高立法机关决议等形式界定了恐怖活动犯罪,为防范和打击恐怖活动犯罪提供了法律依据。从恐怖活动犯罪的目的、对象、手段和主体方面等角度对中、英、美三国恐怖活动犯罪的概念进行比较分析,可以看出我国对恐怖活动犯罪的界定并未明显宽泛于美国和英国,体现出立法的技巧和前瞻性。
