Aggressive,Delinquent, and Violent Outcomes of School Bullying: Do Family and Individual Factors Have a Protective Function?

Bullying perpetration at school is a long-term predictor of aggression, delinquency, and violence. Most research concentrates on risk factors for such developments, whereas protective factors have been rarely addressed. Therefore, the present study investigates potentially protective effects of family and child characteristics in a prospective longitudinal design. The sample contained 519 youngsters (253 boys and 266 girls) from the Erlangen-Nuremberg Development and Prevention Study. Bullying perpetration was measured at age 9.0 years, mothers’ and children's reports on family and individual characteristics were collected at age 10.6, and outcomes in self-reported aggressive/violent offending and mother-reported aggressive and delinquent behavior were collected at age 13.7. Hierarchical regression analyses revealed main effects and interactions. The latter suggest buffering protective effects of consistent discipline in parenting and children's intelligence, positive attitude to school, prosocial behavior skills, low hyperactivity/inattention, and an anxious/depressive mood. The findings varied across the two outcome measures and with regard to gender. Implications for further research and prevention practice are discussed.     

Training Child Welfare Professionals to Support Healthy Couple Relationships: Examining the Link to Training Transfer

Integrating healthy relationship and marriage education (RME) into child welfare services is a relatively recent initiative. Guided by the theoretical work in child welfare training evaluation, the current study describes the development and testing of a new RME training for child welfare professionals. Based on data collected from 272 trainees, results from structural equation modeling indicate a linear association between learner attitudes and newly acquired knowledge and skills to perceptions of training usefulness, which, in turn, influenced implementation of RME skills with clients. Implications for the delivery and evaluation of programming, in general and specific to RME, are shared.     

Bridging the Gap Between Research and Practice: The Work of the Steering Team for the Child Welfare Research and Evaluation Translational Framework Workgroup

This article describes the framework developed by the Child Welfare Research and Evaluation Translational Framework Workgroup that was sponsored by the U.S. Children's Bureau for building evidence and bringing evidence-supported interventions to scale. The framework delineates five phases of implementation and evaluation: 1) identify and explore problem definitions and strength of evidence for promising interventions; 2) develop and test innovative interventions when evidence is suggestive; 3) compare and learn about alternative treatments where evidence is equivocal; 4) replicate and adapt better treatments when summary evidence is strong; and 5) apply and improve continuously the quality and integrity of evidence-based practice.

论我国行政程序立法价值定位的型构与走向

建构于人的主体论、正当程序论基础上的行政程序立法价值定位,应当兼顾公平与效率、自由与秩序、个人利益与公共利益、行政主体与行政相对方两造的权利与义务等双重价值定位,该种价值定位兼具建构性与指导性。     

实践在社会科学研究中的价值述略

实践是马克思主义的基本观点,也是社会生活的本质。社会科学理论是社会实践经验的总结和升华,因此以实践为基础的研究方法是社会科学研究中基本的研究方法之一。在社会科学研究中,既要坚持立足实践需要,又要坚持在实践中检验和发展社会科学理论。     

“国家犯罪及其刑事责任”理论争鸣与发展研究

在国际立法和司法实践中,有关国家犯罪及其刑事责任的理论争论旷日持久,但终因各方观点不一而予以回避。学者对该问题的理论研究主要集中于,国家主权与国家的对世义务、国家犯罪和刑事责任的合法性、集体犯罪和集体惩罚的合法性、实现国家犯罪刑事责任的可行性、国家作为抽象实体有无犯罪意图、国家责任的性质六个方面,分为支持与反对两种观点,彼此针锋相对。基于国际政治现实与国际法治追求的考虑,为了有效遏制最严重的国际犯罪,在国际司法实践和学术研究中出现以政府犯罪代替国家犯罪的新思路。     

国家治理价值体系现代化与行政法学理论基础的重构——以“诸神之争”为背景的分析

国家治理体系包括道和术两大内容,道的现代化和术的现代化则是国家治理体系的现代化建设的两大根本目标。其中道的现代化是整个国家治理体系基础所系。诸神之争是中国道的现代化面临的历史情境。无论是决断还是商谈都无法化解诸神之争,以合作作为价值共识却可以解决这一问题。现代国家治理应该最大程度地的促进社会合作,提升社会合作的水平。法律既不应该以权利为本位,也不应该以义务为本位,而是应该以合作为本位。行政法既不是控权法,也不是平衡法,它应该是构建、保障和修复良性官民合作关系的法。     

论民法研究范式的绿色转向

在转型中国的时代背景下,民法研究范式应该实现绿色转换,即民法研究应该以建构一种人与自然、人与人之间以及人内心整体动态和谐的绿色市民社会秩序为根本目标,以包容协作为基本理念,以弱势群体的保护、协作精神的贯彻、利益冲突的疏导作为民事制度建构的基本方向,在民法的内外体系上对传统理论进行革新,从而确立一个新的学术共同体和新的研究范式,来回应生态、人态和心态日益紧张的现代市民社会。
