行政处罚中“一事不再罚”原则探究

"一事不再罚"原则作为行政处罚适用中的一项基本原则,已为我国法学界普遍认同,但如何理解和适用,在理论和实践中还存在不少分歧,也暴露出该原则理论上的不成熟和迫切的现实需要之间的矛盾。为保护公民、法人或者其他组织的合法权益,规范行政处罚实施,实现罚当其过,解决实践中的重复处罚、多头处罚问题,应进一步明确该原则的内涵,统一其适用原则和标准。     

识别和应对谎言措施研究

讯问对象说谎时总是会出现心理上的障碍,并通过他的口头语言和身体语言信号表现出来。讯问人员要能够识别这些信号,并运用一定的讯问技巧来揭露和应对讯问对象的谎言。识别和应对谎言是讯问人员的必备技能,要通过讯问实践的不断地培养和训练才能具备。     

行政违法的检察监督制度之缺陷分析

检察机关有权对行政行为和行政诉讼实行法律监督,这是我国宪法和行政诉讼法确立的基本原则。行政违法检察监督作为法律监督的重要内容之一,要求检察机关通过对行政行为的合法性进行检察监督来保障国家行政主体的合法行政。针对行政违法检察监督制度的缺陷,需要对我国现行的行政违法检察监督制度进行相应调整,使之成为监督行政的重要保障。     

“阳光执法”——民主化对行政执法行为的必然要求

当今社会飞速发展,民主化趋势日趋显著。这种快速发展的势头对社会各阶层和领域都提出了严峻的挑战。行政执法作为政府和群众之间连接的前沿和纽带,必须以"阳光"的姿态,主动迎接这一挑战。故"阳光执法"是民主化对行政执法行为的必然要求。     

国际金融危机对日本经济的主要影响因素分析——基于MIMIC模型的硏究

2008年由美国次贷危机引发的"金融海啸"席卷全球,日本经济也受到了强烈的冲击。日本MIMIC模型的建立发现了影响日本"危机强度"的国内信贷/GDP和政府债务/GDP两个国内主要影响因素,对各种传染渠道进行检验后发现了这次引起日本金融危机的主要是贸易传染渠道,对上述国内外主要影响因素进行分析,日本政府为刺激经济的一系列扩张性政策,在金融市场中并没有转化为有效的投资和需求反而大大增加了政府债务。     

重复热应激致公兔性腺氧化损伤的研究

为探讨热应激对雄性兔性腺的氧化损伤机制,以体重相近的110日龄雄性新西兰兔为研究对象,每天在固定时间分别以31～34℃和38～40℃进行热应激,并分别在热应激后的第15、30、45及60天处死兔,取样检测性腺组织内总抗氧化酶活性、丙二醛及蛋白质羰基含量。结果显示,随着温度升高,睾丸和附睾组织丙二醛含量增加,总抗氧化酶活性降低,蛋白质羰基含量呈上升趋势,表现出明显的温度-时间效应。表明高热可改变兔睾丸和附睾的正常生理机能,使自由基在组织内累积,引起蛋白质氧化损伤,进而降低繁殖机能。     

Regulating Complex Contracting: A Socio‐legal Study of Decision‐Making Under EU and UK law

The article evaluates interview data on decision‐making under public procurement law using Halliday's analytical model on compliance with administrative law. In this study, unlike other studies on administrative compliance, the decisions faced by public bodies are not routine; they relate to the award of complex, high‐value contracts. Two contrasting decisions in the procurement process are discussed: the decision over the choice of procedure at the outset of the process, and the decision over the extent to which the public body should negotiate with the winning bidder towards the end of the process. The article considers the rationales behind decisions, and finds that, although public bodies are generally predisposed to comply, legal uncertainty means the relevance of commercial pressures and challenge risk impact heavily on approaches to compliance, even shaping understanding of what compliant behaviour actually is.     

BODY‐WORN CAMERAS AS A POTENTIAL SOURCE OF DEPOLICING: TESTING FOR CAMERA‐INDUCED PASSIVITY

Contentious debate is currently taking place regarding the extent to which public scrutiny of the police post‐Ferguson has led to depolicing or to a decrease in proactive police work. Advocates of the “Ferguson effect” claim the decline in proactive policing increased violent crime and assaults on the police. Although police body‐worn cameras (BWCs) are touted as a police reform that can generate numerous benefits, they also represent a form of internal and public surveillance on the police. The surveillance aspect of BWCs suggests that BWCs may generate depolicing through camera‐induced passivity. We test this question with data from a randomized controlled trial of BWCs in Spokane (WA) by assessing the impact of BWCs on four measures: officer‐initiated calls, arrests, response time, and time on scene. We employ hierarchical linear and cross‐classified models to test for between‐ and within‐group differences in outcomes before and after the randomized BWC rollout. Our results demonstrate no evidence of statistically significant camera‐induced passivity across any of the four outcomes. In fact, self‐initiated calls increased for officers assigned to treatment during the RCT. We discuss the theoretical and policy implications of the findings for the ongoing dialogue in policing.     

Party Politics and Governance in Grenada: An Analysis of the New National Party (1984–2012)

Abstract

This article examines party politics and governance in post-revolutionary Grenada, using the case of the New National Party (NNP). The central question is what does the evolution of the NNP suggests about governance and democracy in post-invasion Grenada? The article traces four phases of the NNP since its formation in 1984: (1) externally imposed marriage of convenience; (2) intra-party conflict and splintering; (3) rebranding, consolidation and dominance; and (4) electoral defeat. The article contends that Grenada has transitioned to formal democracy and the NNP is a significant actor. Yet, despite this transition, Grenada has not become the showcase of democracy that the US said it would in 1984.     

Expectations from Administrative Reforms: An Attempt to Implement the Balanced Scorecard in a Public Sector Organization

The aim of this case study is to explore what actors in a Swedish municipality expect from a new administrative reform (i.e., an attempt to implement the Balanced Scorecard). The findings show that the expectations on changes are highest among the politicians, moderate among the administrators, and lowest among the operative employees. The differences can be explained by the way the reform is anticipated to favor or disfavor the actors, who in turn are influenced by the actors' past experiences. Most of the expressed expectations concern expectations of the outcome of the administrative reform, but some concern expectations on the reform itself.
