部门联合立法的规范化问题研究

两个或两个以上国务院部门联合立法,已经成为我国行政立法实践中的一种惯常立法形式,在实现法律、行政法规的精细化和可操作性方面发挥了重大作用。与单个部门立法相比,部门联合立法的功能主要体现为实现部门“条条”之间的立法权责整合、防止多部门职责交叉领域立法的碎片化和部门本位主义、提升部门立法的公正性与效率性、节约行政立法成本和减少部门立法冲突、为制定行政法规进行先行制度实验等诸多方面。在部门联合立法的过程中,难免会出现各种部门权限冲突与利益协调的难题。为推进部门联合立法的规范化治理,应当对部门联合立法的时机选择、事项范围、效力等级、立法主体关系以及备案审查等方面进行充分的制度分析与研究。     

A Comparison of Dental Chartings Performed at the Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command Central Identification Laboratory and the Kokura Central Identification Unit on Remains Identified from the Korean War

During the Korean War, the Office of the Quartermaster General's Graves Registration Service (GRS) was responsible for the recovery, processing, identification, and repatriation of US remains. In January 1951, the GRS established a Central Identification Unit (CIU) at Kokura, Japan. At the Kokura CIU, postmortem dental examinations were performed by the dental technicians. Thirty‐nine postmortem dental examinations performed at the CIU were compared to the findings documented in the Forensic Odontology Reports written at the JPAC Central Identification Laboratory (CIL). Differences were noted in 20 comparisons (51%). The majority of the discrepancies was considered negligible and would not alter the JPAC decision to disinter a set of unknown remains. Charting discrepancies that were considered significant included the occasional failure of the Kokura technicians to identify teeth with inter‐proximal or esthetic restorations and the misidentification of a mechanically prepared tooth (i.e., tooth prepared for a restoration) as a carious surface.     

Therapeutic engagement in medium-secure care: an interpretative phenomenological analysis of service users’ experiences

Service users (SUs) detained in forensic hospitals are usually required to engage in psychological therapies aimed at reducing mental distress and/or for preventing further offending. Poor therapeutic engagement (TE) can lead to adverse clinical outcomes and reoffending, at a cost to the individual, staff, the service provider, and the public. To understand what factors influence TE from a SUs’ perspective, the experiences of 10 male residents of a medium-secure hospital were explored. Using a service-user informed design, interpretative phenomenological analysis of interview data was completed. Four superordinate themes emerged: different worlds; what the individual brings; what the therapy entails; and control. Consideration of how these factors may be of use to professionals working in secure care settings is discussed in relation to existing theory and research.     

保险诈骗罪若干新旧问题研究

保险领域的诈骗犯罪作为一种危害较大的新型金融犯罪,随着经济和金融业的发展日趋增多,涉及的金额越来越大,具有作案方式多样化、诈骗行为隐蔽性、危害后果严重性的特点。尽管学界对于保险诈骗罪已经进行了相当多的研究,但是有些问题仍没有完全澄清,并且随着社会的发展和经济形势的变化,以及犯罪手段的多样性,使得保险诈骗领域又出现了许多新的情况,而对于这些新的情况我们尚没有进行深入地探讨。这种“新仇旧恨”就促使我们应当对保险诈骗罪进行进一步的研究。     

强奸罪若干新问题研究

强奸罪的犯罪客体包括奸淫幼女的客体都是贞操权而不是幼女的身心健康。强奸罪的客观方面应当随社会生活的变化而变化,包括男性之间的强奸行为、女性之间使用器具的强奸行为、以及女性强制男性实施的性行为等方式。强奸罪与强制猥亵罪区别的关键在于强奸是插入被害人的性器、肛门,而强制猥亵罪是接触被害人的性器、肛门或者女性被害人的乳房。     

An overview of the EU–SA Strategic Partnership 10 years on: Diverging world views,persisting interests

ABSTRACT

The European Union–South Africa (EU–SA) Strategic Partnership has entered its 10th year. It is a product of its time and particular regional and international circumstances. These having changed somewhat over the course of the last decade, it is not surprising that the dynamics of the relationship, expressed through the strategic partnership's parameters, have undergone commensurate changes. Based on the recognition that the partnership is between a multilateral institution and a state, the difference in their respective strategic positions is inevitable. The challenge, therefore, is for the EU–SA Strategic Partnership to maintain a flexibility that allows for continued contestation, development and relevance. This paper reviews the historical context of the partnership and the challenging dynamics that have evolved over the lifespan of the partnership, providing the basis for the thematic discussion which follows in this issue. The analysis in this article demonstrates that, in spite of acknowledged challenges, the functionality of the strategic partnership based on persisting interests remains intact.     

审前准备程序的职能及制度完善

《民事诉讼法》及相关程序立法,特别是最高人民法院《关于民事诉讼证据的若干规定》,对民事诉讼审前程序做出了相关界定,但相对简单、粗放,当事人参与程度极低。审前准备程序需要完善制度保障,包括强制诉答制度、诉讼失权制度、律师强制代理制度等。另外,法官释明对明晰当事人请求的内容及其诉讼目的,促进诉讼适当解决意义重大。     

试析交通肇事移动逃逸致死的定性

遗弃罪法益的变化使交通肇事逃逸致死问题的定性变得复杂化。在交通肇事移动逃逸致死时 ,除可能构成交通肇事罪之外 ,还涉及到不作为的故意杀人罪与 (移置 )遗弃罪的界分。对此 ,应通过违反作为义务程度的强弱判断行为人主观故意的内容 ,从而准确区分二者。     

中美三个联合公报的条约性质研析——兼论中国的对策

长期以来,中美两国对于中美三个联合公报的法律性质存在着极大的争议:中国认为中美三个联合公报是有拘束力的条约,美国却否认这一点。这种争议的结果既严重损害了中美三个联合公报的权威性,更严重阻碍了中美关系的正常发展。根据国际条约法的基本原则和基本理论,特别是从条约的基本特征、美国国内法关于条约的定性、三个联合公报的履约情况等方面进行的深入分析表明,中美三个联合公报确定无疑是有拘束力的条约。基于此,中国政府应该积极寻求维护中美三个联合公报权威性及其条约性质的法律对策。     

交通肇事后的报警行为不成立自首之法理抉微

《刑法》第133条规定的逻辑结构决定了如若将交通肇事者肇事后报警并保护事故现场的行为认定为自首,将违反刑法禁止重复评价原则。通过与交通肇事罪同质的其他过失犯罪的法定刑配置对比,可得出交通肇事罪的基本法定刑适用情形中包含了肇事者报警并保护事故现场的内容之结论。其他法律、法规为肇事者设定自首义务有其心理学基础且契合作为法的整体精神。肇事者逃逸后又自动投案并如实供述自己罪行的成立本罪之自首。
