假冒专利罪辨析与质疑

目前 ,我国刑法学界在界定假冒专利行为时存在较大分歧 ,刑法对“假冒专利罪”的规定也存在不合理之处。为了有效保护专利权人的合法权益 ,必须在立法上予以修改和完善。     

论地方人大的共同立法

为区域合作提供充分的法律资源,必须加强立法协同。其中,对属于地方权限范围、通过其他途径难以解决以及宪法和法律未禁止的事务,经法律上的允许,有关地方人大可以通过协商,共同起草建议稿,分别审议、通过,以各自的文号共同发布地方性法规,即开展地方共同立法。我国宪法体现了有关区域合作的精神、原则,有关法律上存在“协商条款”,但我国目前尚无地方人大共同发布地方性法规的直接法律依据。有需求的地方人大共同制定地方性法规,应取得全国人大常委会的授权。从长远、普遍性需求来看,全国人大常委会应修改我国《立法法》,作出相关明确规定。地方共同法规在内容上按所达成的共识而定。它除了与一般地方性法规相同的必要条款外,还应包括实施主体条款、利益平衡条款、开放性条款、效力条款和纠纷解决条款等特殊条款。     

中外合作经营企业外方先行回收投资的法律性质新探

对于中外合作经营企业外方先行回收投资的法律性质,现行的各种学说均不能作出准确的界定。其中的“优先补偿说”、“让利说”和“保本经营说”实际上只是分析了该制度的经济性质;而“股权(资本)转让说”和“减资说”对该制度的法律定性,则都存在着以偏概全,难以自圆其说的缺陷。似惟有本文提出的“特殊信贷说”,可比较适当地说明中外合作经营企业外方先行回收投资法律制度的基本特征。     

危险犯中危险状态的判断

随着科技的发展和风险社会的到来,危险犯在刑法中的地位日益突出。因此,明确危险犯之危险状态的判断标准,既是司法实务中裁判危险犯是否成罪的关键,也是对危险犯理论相关争议进行廓清的一种有效手段。因此,需要在明确危险犯中相关概念的基础上,对危险状态判断的各家学说进行评析,进而提出危险状态评判的实质、时点和标准,并对具体危险犯和抽象危险犯中危险状态的判断提出基于中国立场的合理化建议。     

The GDPR: A game changer for electronic identification schemes? The case study of Gov.UK Verify

This article offers an interdisciplinary analysis of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the context of electronic identification schemes. Gov.UK Verify, the UK Government's electronic identification scheme, and its compatibility with some important aspects of EU data protection law are reviewed. An in-depth examination of Gov.UK Verify's architecture and the most significant constituent elements of both the Data Protection Directive and the imminent GDPR – notably the legitimising grounds for the processing of personal data and the doctrine of joint controllership – highlight several flaws inherent in the Gov.UK Verify's development and mode of operation. This article advances the argument that Gov.UK Verify is incompatible with some major substantive provisions of the EU Data Protection Framework. It also provides some general insight as to how to interpret the requirement of a legitimate legal basis and the doctrine of joint controllership. It ultimately suggests that the choice of the appropriate legal basis should depend upon a holistic approach to the relationship between the actors involved in the processing activities.     

论犯罪故意与违法性认识

在外国刑法理论中“不知法律不负责”是一条古老的规则 ,在刑法理论与审判实践中一直重视区分法律错误与事实错误。但是 ,随着社会生活的日益复杂 ,这一规则面临着一些争论与问题。本文在介绍外国刑法有关理论的同时 ,联系我国的理论观点进行讨论 ,提出了判断违法性认识是否为犯罪故意内容的标准 ,应当以司法者的判断为主 ,但也要考虑当事人的具体情况。     

保险诈骗罪若干问题研究

我国现行立法对保险诈骗罪的界定须进一步细化:扩大主体范围、明确主观方面的非法占有保险金的目的;在司法领域中应着重解决犯罪未遂的认定及牵连犯的处理等两个疑难问题。另外,对保险诈骗犯罪的处罚应提高法定刑及重视罚金刑的适用。     

“Because you’ve got faith it doesn’t mean that you’ve got wings on your back”: a qualitative analysis of the accounts of Christian prisoners serving time for a sexual offence

Religious beliefs have been variously promulgated as both protective and risk factors for sexual reoffending. Moreover, therapists working with religious prisoners struggle with unravelling cognitive distortions embedded within religious views, with concerns about accusations of prejudice salient in their mindset. This paper presents a novel contribution to research by combining the qualitative analysis of the accounts offered by individuals (n?=?12) convicted of sexual offences who describe themselves as Christians. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and analysed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis. This paper focuses on two superordinate themes: (i) The God Effect and (ii) The Shadow Side of Religion. Implications of this research are discussed with reference to the assessment of dynamic risk and protective factors with religious individuals who have been convicted of a sexual offence.     

Opposition dynamism under authoritarianism: the case of Yemen, 1994–2011

In contrast to the empirical conditions in large parts of the authoritarian world, the systematic literature on political opposition under authoritarianism either treats the opposition as a static entity or fails to comprehensively address its dynamic character. On the basis of a critical literature review and an ensuing analysis of the Joint Meeting Parties, a cross-ideological opposition alliance that gradually evolved to become the main competitor of the Salih regime in Yemen, we suggest that political opposition in electoral authoritarian regimes is an intrinsically dynamic institution in terms of its organizational shape, its goals and its modes of contestation. We also show that, while authoritarian structures do set the basic conditions defining opposition action, much of what motivates this action and contributes to opposition dynamism emerges from within the opposition. In addition, our findings on the Yemeni case suggest that opposition dynamism peaks when the strength of the opposition is nearly on par with that of the regime.
