The association between childhood sexual abuse and sexual coercion in men: a test of possible mediators

ABSTRACT

We examined the associations between childhood sexual abuse (CSA), childhood physical abuse (CPA), sexual domain variables, antisocial tendencies, and sexually coercive behaviour in a non-forensic sample of 173 heterosexual men. CSA was associated with paraphilic interests and experiences, a more extensive sexual life history, and early antisocial tendencies. CPA was associated with paraphilic interests and experiences, more self-reported delinquency, higher sensation seeking, and early antisocial tendencies. Sexual domain variables (e.g. number of sexual partners, sexual interest in sadomasochism) mediated the link between CSA and sexually coercive behaviour, but antisocial domain variables (e.g. delinquency, sensation seeking) did not. Of the two sexual domains examined, extensive sexual life history rather than paraphilias mediated the association between CSA and sexually coercive behaviour. These results suggest CSA and CPA are associated with both sexual and antisocial outcomes, and that, for some victims of CSA, having an extensive sexual life history may account for the association between CSA and sexually coercive behaviour later in life.     

EU issue voting and the 2014 European Parliament elections: a dynamic perspective

EU issue voting in European Parliament elections has been shown to be highly conditional upon levels of EU politicization. The present study analyzes this conditionality over time, hypothesizing that the effect of EU attitudes on EP vote preferences is catalyzed as EP elections draw closer. In contrast to extant cross-sectional post-election studies, we use a four-wave panel study covering the six months leading up to the Dutch EP elections of 2014, differentiating between party groups (pro, anti, mixed) and five EU attitude dimensions. We find that EU issue voting occurs for both anti- and pro-EU parties, but only increases for the latter. For mixed parties we find no effect of EU attitudes, yet their support base shifts in the anti-EU direction as the elections draw closer. The overarching image, however, is one of surprising stability: EU attitudes form a consistent part of EP voting motivations even outside EP election times.     

自白任意性规则的法律价值

新刑事诉讼法和此前“两高三部”发布的有关刑事证据的规定，确立了非法证据排除规则，但这一进步却因模糊了对威胁、引诱和欺骗取得口供的排除态度而显得 不彻底。自白任意性被忽视，主要归因于过分倚重口供的司法惯性，作为自白任意性法理基础的正当程序观念没有得到普遍认同，对秩序的偏重则是更为深层的原因。自白的证据能力若不以自白的任意性为条件，冤错案件的病灶就不能祛除，司法实践就不可能取得实质的进步。认同自白任意性规则的法律价值，不仅能为发现案件真实提供保障，更是保障刑事司法最终摆脱纠问式特征之所必需。     

讯问同步录音录像制度新探

2006年1月,最高人民检察院决定,今后各级检察机关在办理贿赂和其他职务犯罪要案中要逐渐实行讯问同步录音录像制度。公安机关在办理大案、要案中也已经实施讯问的同步录音录像制度。但在实践中,由于缺乏统一的规范和格式,各地在操作中不免出现一些问题,如在录像中看不到被讯问人的正面,更看不清其表情神态;在录像中只完整显示一名承办人,另一名则仅有半个身体;在录像中没有时间显示;声音不够清晰等等。因此,有必要建立规范的讯问同步录音录像制度。     

新一轮服务贸易谈判若干问题

服务贸易的市场准入及进一步的规则完善是世界贸易组织多哈回合谈判中的重要议题。GATS 规则谈判中的焦点问题包括国内监管纪律、紧急保障措施、服务的政府采购及补贴等。根据香港“部长会议宣言”及附件 C,新一轮服务谈判的发展将表现在谈判目标、方法、时限及关注发展中国家利益等各个方面。我国应积极参与这些谈判,在具体承诺和规则制定方面维护自己的利益。     

新词新语构造方式初探

文中初步分析和归纳了新词新语的产生方式:借词、缩略语、修辞方法构词、类词缀构词等;初步分析和归纳了词语新义和新用现象的产生方式:移用、名词、形容词新用、突破语义规则的新用等.     

德国股东派生诉讼制度评析

德国《股份法》在借鉴了他国规定,对股东资格进行必要限制的同时,以诉前审查程序———诉讼许可申请作为股东派生诉讼的前置程序,通过法院的依法审查来保证诉讼的正当性;股东论坛的设置,开通了股东之间交流联系的快捷网络通道,以方便其达到法律规定的权利行使条件;特别的诉讼费用承担设计,在减轻股东诉讼风险的同时,为强制公司自主行使权利施加了潜在压力。     

优惠原产地规则与WTO 多边贸易体制的冲突与协调--兼评中国的优惠原产地规则法律制度

在许多方面优惠原产地规则与WTO的原产地规则是相冲突的,从表面上来看,优惠原产地规则与WTO多边贸易体制存在种种冲突.而从优惠原产地规则的发展、优惠原产地规则与多边贸易体制实质上的关系及GATT1994的第24条等来看,优惠原产地规则与多边贸易体制是协调的.中国的优惠原产地规则的法律制度建设才刚刚起步,在运用中还存在这样那样的问题,这需要在优惠原产地规则的法律制度建设中明确我国优惠原产地规则立法和实施中的目的与原则.     

论转型时期法律的控权使命

法律是社会利益资源的分配书.在社会利益资源总量特定的情况下,为了充分维护普通民众的利益和权利,必须控制国家公共权力部门的权力,防止因其滥用而侵犯民众的权利.法律既维权(利),又控权(力),是"双刃剑".良法和法治的核心和基础是充分体现和维护广大民众的权利,而控制国家公共机关的权力则更是其中的关键.中国的经济体制转轨和治国方略转型过程的实质就在于逐步控制权力,否则改革寸步难行.随着改革不断深入,控权与反控权的斗争会愈加激烈.必须高度重视和强化转型时期法律的控权使命.     

适用社区服务令制度惩处轻微犯罪行为的构想

由于社区服务令制度具有经济补偿及协助违法者心理康复的双重作用,因此我国应将其用于处罚轻微犯罪行为人。对于轻微犯罪行为,偏重于教育而不是惩罚的社区服务令制度具有巨大的优越性,体现了刑罚的个别化,减缓了刑罚的报应本能,给刑法生硬的面孔带来了温情的一面。
