当前“涉黑”职务犯罪问题分析与防治措施

当前,涉黑职务犯罪涉案成员复杂,司法人员及行政执法人员犯罪突出,涉案罪名多为行贿受贿,并且涉案人员职级较高。主要原因一是某些国家工作人员对物质利益的贪婪;二是政府执行力不强,不能有效地管理地方行政事务;三是黑恶势力庞大的经济实力和对党政干部任免的干涉;四是立法滞后,量刑偏轻。涉黑职务犯罪的防治措施应将＂打黑＂与惩治职务犯罪结合起来,依靠群众,形成举报监督网络,加强各级政府建设,完善地方选举制度,完善＂涉黑＂职务犯罪立法。     

构建检察机关自身反腐倡廉制度体系的思考

检察机关作为国家法律监督机关，必须首先抓好自身的反腐倡廉制度体系建设。该制度体系建设应当从实际出发、突出重点、层次分明，同时，要充分发挥制度体系建设在惩治和预防腐败中的核心保障作用。     

赃款赃物处理几个问题的探讨

无主赃款赃物,赃物认领争议,以及犯罪嫌疑人或被告人在立案后、案件审结前死亡的,其非法所得如何处理,是司法实践中对赃款赃物处理时的几个特殊问题。无主赃款赃物应该收归国有,上缴国库。对于赃物认领争议,要在确定真正所有权人的基础上将赃物返还给真正的所有权人。对于犯罪嫌疑人或被告人在立案后、案件审结前死亡的,其非法所得应予以追缴,但应完善相关程序。     

Taking Capital Punishment Seriously

Although Asia is the most important region of the world when it comes to capital punishment, it is also one of the most understudied. This article identifies four research questions that deserve attention from students and scholars who believe taking capital punishment seriously requires studying Asia seriously too. What are the empirical contours of capital punishment in contemporary Asia? What are the histories of capital punishment in Asia? Can Western theories of capital punishment explain patterns and changes in Asia? And what is the future of capital punishment in Asia? If researchers take the trouble to explore these questions, the death penalty will not only become an interesting window into law and society in Asia, but Asia will prove to be an instructive window into the death penalty—the gravest real-life problem in the law.     

死刑复核权归位之程序构想

随着10月26日,最高人民法院正式发布《人民法院第二个五年改革纲要》,决定收回死刑复核权。法学理论界与司法实务界一直以来关于死刑复核权的争议与质疑似乎尘埃落定。然则,收回是一句话,如何收回, 复核程序又将如何完善,又是学界与司法界不得不直面的复杂问题。本文拟针对当前死刑复核程序之弊端提出完善死刑复核程序之构想。     

IMAGES OF GOD AND PUBLIC SUPPORT FOR CAPITAL PUNISHMENT: DOES A CLOSE RELATIONSHIP WITH A LOVING GOD MATTER?*

This study argues that the nature and intensity of a person's relationship with God creates a transposable cognitive schema that shapes people's views toward public policies such as executing convicted murderers. In this context, we investigate whether Americans who report having a close personal relationship with a loving God are less likely to support the death penalty. We hypothesize that such a relationship tempers the tendency to see punitiveness as an appropriate response to human failings. Individuals who hold a loving God image are more likely to believe that God responds to those who have “failed” or “sinned” by demonstrating unconditional love, forgiveness, and mercy. Accordingly, support for capital punishment is problematic because it contradicts the image of a merciful, forgiving deity; God's purpose—and admonition to believers—is to demonstrate compassion toward those who have trespassed against others. We test these possibilities using the 2004 General Social Survey (GSS). Controlling for a range of religious factors and other known predictors of death penalty attitudes, the results show that Americans with a personal relationship with a loving God are less likely to support capital punishment for convicted murderers.     

寻租视野中的涉黑犯罪与腐败

涉黑组织犯罪是世界各国普遍关注的一个严峻的社会问题。近年来,涉黑组织犯罪在我国呈现出日趋泛滥的态势,严重破坏了社会经济生活秩序和政治生活秩序。而寻租活动加剧了腐败的深度和广度。国家必须采取积极的有针对性的措施。     

论《合同法》中的缔约过失责任制度

缔约过失责任制度由德国法学家耶林于1861年提出,其基本理论为:诚实信用原则。缔约过失责任实质上就是对损害信赖利益的赔偿。作为违约责任和侵权责任的补充,缔约责任的承担以违反先合同义务为前提,其赔偿范围以受害方信赖利益为限,以赔偿损失为主要责任形式。法律设定缔约过失责任,存在以法定责任形式弥补合同法和侵权行为法调整范围存在的前契约义务的漏洞,全面保护缔约人的合法利益,保障交易安全,维护诚实信用原则,维护市场经济秩序。     

死刑:一种残酷的刑罚

残酷刑罚是不尊重罪犯尊严和人格,或者剥夺或限制罪犯不应剥夺或限制的权利,或者无助于实现使罪犯成为新人要求的,或者造成罪犯肉体或精神上极度痛苦的不必要的刑罚。残酷刑罚的认定有绝对性和相对性两个标准。无论从绝对性还是相对性标准看,死刑都是一种残酷的刑罚。     

论检察官的刑事裁量权

传统理论认为,量刑是人民法院行使刑事案件审判权的表现,只有法官才有刑事裁量权.根据现行法律和检察工作的实际需要,检察官也应当充分行使刑事裁量权.检察官刑事裁量权具有特殊表现和特性.
