商业承兑汇票诈骗犯罪及对策探析

企业和银行相勾结,把真实的商业承兑汇票、伪造的贸易背景材料和银行的虚假贴现相结合,办理转贴现、再贴现骗取银行资金,名义是“融资”,实际是票据诈骗犯罪。公安机关应理顺公、检、法机关的纵向联动机制,建立银行、企业、工商等部门的横向协作机制,在始终坚持打击票据诈骗犯罪的同时,为各类市场经济主体提供防范指导、信息咨询和法律帮助等方面的服务,在防控、打击票据犯罪中发挥更大的作用。     

美国《1998年国际宗教自由法》及对中美关系的影响评析

<1998年国际宗教自由法>(以下简称IRFA)是由美国保守派推动制订的一部具有域外效力的美国国内法.由于该法所包含的双重标准以及该法在推行过程中必然会产生的诸多问题,该法实施以来"产生"的域外效力十分有限,未对中美关系造成直接影响.但在美国社会不断保守化的背景下,IRFA对中美关系的间接和负面影响不容小视.针对美国国务院每年发布的<国际宗教自由年度报告>中对中国宗教自由状况的歪曲,中国政府予以外交上的坚决谴责是必须的,但从根本上说,在宗教领域奉行接触政策,勿视美国为敌,怀柔美国应是当前我国韬光养晦外交的较佳选择.     

论单位人格否认之法理

单位人格否认法理,是指对于缺乏独立人格的单位所实施的犯罪,否认该单位具有单位犯罪主体的人格,进而直接追究单位背后操纵犯罪的自然人或者其他单位的刑事责任。单位人格否认论,以单位人格的二元构造和间接正犯的理论为基础,其适用范围包括单位缺乏合法身份、缺乏犯罪能力和缺乏刑罚适应能力的场合。幕后操纵者是自然人的,以自然人犯罪处罚;幕后操纵者是有独立人格的单位的,以单位犯罪处罚。     

对我国劳动教养制度的法理分析

劳动教养制度是我国法律的独创,但其在立法和执法上的种种弊端是对《宪法》精神和《刑法》罪刑法定原则的违背,更有悖法治精神,影响司法公正。本文从劳动教养制度的形成、发展和演变入手,对劳教制度进行了法理分析,将其与《宪法》、《立法法》、《行政处罚法》、《刑法》等相关法律相比较,探讨了我国劳动教养制度的立法体例,进而提出与我国刑法相整合的建议。     

浅淡涉税徇私舞弊罪的界定及预防

徇私舞弊罪是渎职罪中的重要种类。目前,税务人员涉税徇私舞弊罪的现象日趋突出,已经对当前税务干部队伍建设和税务机关正常履行税务职能产生了严重影响。因此,能否正确界定和有效预防涉税徇私舞弊罪的发生,对于检察机关正确行使侦查和公诉职能,推进税务机关依法治税,有效实现国家宏观调控职能作用有积极意义。本文针对当前执法、司法活动中存在的问题,主要从犯罪主体、主观方面、犯罪客观方面对涉税徇私舞弊罪的犯罪构成及界定作了理论分析,并结合税收实际对不应认定为徇私舞弊罪的行为进行了初步探讨,提出了预防此类犯罪的对策。     

构建我国单位犯罪刑罚体系的思路

我国刑法对单位犯罪中犯罪单位的处罚只规定了罚金刑。单一的罚金刑对于单位犯罪的惩罚和预防均显得有些力不从心。在以自然人为适用对象的刑罚体系基础上,构建以犯罪单位为适用对象的刑罚体系十分必要。其主要由刑事破产、执业禁止和停业整顿等主刑以及罚金、没收财产和剥夺荣誉称号等附加刑两部分构成。     

东盟:区域化“国际社会”的理论与实践——英国学派的视角

冷战结束后,区域化"国际社会"的全球发展趋势明显,用传统的国际关系理论很难诠释和驾驭,英国学派的"国际社会"理论在更广阔的时空观中来观察和分析国际关系的区域化进程,提供了一个独特的视角,东盟则提供了一个典型的个案。     

论全球金融危机下的中美经济关系失衡及其调整

20世纪90年代以来,中美经济关系日益紧密;但与此同时,两国贸易关系与投资关系失衡也不断加剧。全球金融危机的爆发对中美贸易关系失衡与投资关系失衡产生了不同的影响,并导致二者的调整路径明显分化。在后危机时代,美联储的宽松货币政策及退出时机、中美两国的经济结构调整、现行国际货币体系的改革以及人民币国际化进程的加速都将影响中美经济关系失衡的调整。从长期来看,中美投资关系失衡的调整将慢于贸易关系失衡的调整,但二者最终都将向均衡水平回归。     

LEARNING TO BE BAD: ADVERSE SOCIAL CONDITIONS,SOCIAL SCHEMAS,AND CRIME*

In this article, we develop and test a new approach to explain the link between social factors and individual offending. We argue that seemingly disparate family, peer, and community conditions lead to crime because the lessons communicated by these events are similar and promote social schemas involving a hostile view of people and relationships, a preference for immediate rewards, and a cynical view of conventional norms. Furthermore, we posit that these three schemas are interconnected and combine to form a criminogenic knowledge structure that results in situational interpretations legitimating criminal behavior. Structural equation modeling with a sample of roughly 700 African American teens provided strong support for the model. The findings indicated that persistent exposure to adverse conditions such as community crime, discrimination, harsh parenting, deviant peers, and low neighborhood collective efficacy increased commitment to the three social schemas. The three schemas were highly intercorrelated and combined to form a latent construct that strongly predicted increases in crime. Furthermore, in large measure, the effect of the various adverse conditions on increases in crime was indirect through their impact on this latent construct. We discuss the extent to which the social‐schematic model presented in this article might be used to integrate concepts and findings from several major theories of criminal behavior.     

Y-haplotype screening of local patrilineages followed by autosomal STR typing can detect likely perpetrators in some populations

The male-specific, human Y-chromosomal short tandem repeats (Y-STRs) are very useful in forensic analysis and human evolution studies. The authors report two sexual crime cases in which the perpetrators were successfully traced using Y-haplotype screening of local patrilineages followed by autosomal STR typing. First, several main local patrilineages from local cases were investigated using Y-STR haplotyping, aimed to find the pedigrees whose haplotypes were identical or similar to those of the crime scene samples. Then, several key suspects were defined from the screened pedigrees, and autosomal STR typing was performed to identify the perpetrator of the crime. The application of Y-haplotype screening of local patrilineages followed by autosomal STR typing in these two cases demonstrates its usefulness for solving sexually related crimes in certain populations.
