以系统论的观点看犯罪数额

两个具有相等数额的犯罪表明犯罪人具有相同的人身危险性,但二者的社会危害性不同。一次犯罪数额与多次犯罪累计数额即使相等,其社会危害性也是不同的,前者的社会危害性要甚于后者。共同犯罪的社会意义不是单个人行为的简单组合,其犯罪能力和社会危害性是个人行为无法比拟的。应以犯罪总额作为确定各个共同犯罪人刑事责任的标准。     

权益平衡保护的技术分析与法理思考——以刑民交叉案件为切入点

刑民交叉案件是民商事纠纷中出现的一种较为复杂的现象,对其处理程序模式的选择差异,蕴含着对相关当事人权益保护的是否公平与公正。刑法不能民法化,刑民交叉案件的本质是责任竞合,刑民界分的标准应采用严重脱逸社会相当性理论。司法实践中应在对过于强调民权与情感处理模式进行法理反思的同时,以权益平衡保护为轴心塑造合理的刑民交叉案件解决之司法程序。

Prisons,Proportionality and Recent Penal History

A leading aim of the Criminal Justice Act 1991 was to install the principle of proportionality as the primary rationale for sentencing and to bring about a reduction in the use of imprisonment.  In the decade that followed the prison population in England and Wales rose steeply.  This article examines the reasons for the rising use of prison, in order to assess whether proportionality (or ‘just deserts’) was tried and failed.  It argues that in practice the proportionality principle was overwhelmed by other influences, and that deterrence and incapacitation were the main drivers of the increasing use of imprisonment.  The article goes on to argue that proportionality theories have within them the resources to produce penal moderation, notably the ‘drowning out’ argument, the human rights argument, and decrementalism.  The article concludes by rejecting the claim that proportionality theories are likely in practice to result in escalating punishment.

论我国《消费者权益保护法》中的惩罚性赔偿

我国在1994年开始实施的《中华人民共和国消费者权益保护法》中规定了惩罚性损害赔偿制度,该制度具有惩罚经营者的欺诈行为和激励消费者维权的功能。但在司法实践中围绕该制度的适用却出现了问题,主要表现为知假买假者能否要求惩罚性赔偿,对适用惩罚性赔偿的条件———“欺诈”应如何理解以及惩罚性赔偿的数额等问题。认可知假买假者的消费者身份,对“欺诈”作有别于《民法通则》与《合同法》中的解释以及重新确定惩罚性赔偿的额度将有助于发挥惩罚性赔偿制度的功能。     

Prison Decayed: Cinematic Penal Discourse and Populism 1995–2005

The increased populist and punitive turn in criminal justice policy in the United Kingdom over recent years has led to punishment becoming politicised, harsher and more ostentatious. The role of media and popular culture discourses of prison is rarely examined in this account. Adopting a Foucauldian discourse analysis of prison films released over the past 10 years, this article explores the prison film as one important element of the discursive regime. It seeks to investigate what representational practices are at work, how they limit the meaning of prison and prisoners, and how this may contribute to debates about the nature and aim of prison in contemporary society. It argues that several discursive practices exist in cinematic representations of the incarceration that strengthen support for the use of prison. The explicit and recurring depiction of violence in most prison films over the past 10 years, while appearing to offer evidence for prison reform, does the opposite. This paper suggests that discourses around the futility and inhumanity of incarceration are scant, replaced by scenes of prison violence; rape and death appear, which appear to exist purely for the pleasure of the spectator: a generic feature of the prison film. Secondly, prisoners are largely constructed as an inhuman other: a danger to society and deserving of harsh punishment. Consequently, the discursive regime of prison in cinema over the past decade constructs prison as not only necessary, but as the only process for crime control and reduction.     

Probation system in Turkey: an analysis of a public policy formation using multiple streams framework

Turkey initiated a major reform in its criminal justice system in 2005 and a probation system was officially created. This article analyses the probation policy formation, and development processes in Turkey using a multiple streams framework (MSF), as theorised by John Kingdon. Qualitative method is employed through archival records, governmental documents, and semi-structured interviews with key actors. Findings suggest that MSF explains the evolution of the probation system, which emerged in a critical time. However, although the probation system was set up to overcome the increasing prison population and alternative to incarceration, the number of prisoners and probationers have increased significantly. Today, Turkey has been ranked one of the largest prison population in the world. It is concluded that the penal policy has led to unintended consequences, and the penal system including probation practices has been dramatically politicised by the government.
