浅论犯罪阻却事由与犯罪构成的关系

在犯罪构成理论的研究中,其与犯罪阻却事由之间的关系是一个备受瞩目的重要论题。直接原因是,在我国传统犯罪构成理论中,犯罪阻却事由处于一种"流离失所"的状态,导致一种尴尬的关系于斯产生。从这一关系的重要意义出发,梳理二者关系在传统理论中遭遇到的实然之困局,此基础之上,提出这一对关系应然之走向——在改造犯罪构成理论的基础上,将犯罪阻却事由纳入到犯罪构成理论中去,以此完成这一论题在犯罪构成理论研究中的使命。     

Domesticating the future?: Citizen’s income discussion in Estonia

ABSTRACT

Citizen’s income is an idea that is currently gaining ground in many parts of the world. The prospect of disappearing jobs and social exclusion that the globalized world faces has given the idea of guaranteed income a new urgency. This article is a pilot sociological study of the citizen’s income discussion in post-socialist Estonia. The article is based on qualitative research: interviews with experts from different fields and an analysis of print media. Four systematic approaches to citizen’s income are differentiated in the paper. We analyze the views on the idea in order to explore their significance for the Estonian economic status quo and welfare state.     

道德善、理性化与法的规范性——以哈特理论为中心的反省

法律的规范性是法律理论中最为重要的法律概念之一,并且学者通常以“应当”作为规范性的核心含义。然而,如果进一步追问何谓“应当”,那么就会逐渐引出“可辩护性”的概念。哈特的法律理论之所以是重要的,就因为是他首先意识到可辩护性的重要意义。不过,可辩护性背后隐含着“道德善”的概念,那么这是否意味着法律实证主义主张是错误的？并不必然,要想系统说明应当、可辩护性与道德善这三个概念,就必须借助对于“理性化框架”的整体说明,而法律实证主义在这其中就存在着诸种成立的可能性。     

死刑废除论的根据——过度“人权规范”批判

关于死刑的存与废的论证,无论是保留的观点还是废除的观点,其内容都已毫无生气。如果从人性角度出发,死刑就具有存在的正当性,因为死刑制度源于人类社会的人伦基础。但是,死刑存在的正当性并非等于死刑适用的正当性,存在的正当性是应然层面的认识,而适用的正当性是实然层面的认识,必须经过对死刑存在正当性的限定,死刑才会有存在的合理性。因此,以“人权规范”作为死刑存在与否的真正基础是不妥当的。     

System-Justifying Functions of Complementary Regional and Ethnic Stereotypes: Cross-National Evidence

According to system justification theory, stereotyping is an ideological process that serves to justify the status quo and bolster the legitimacy of the existing social order. The present research investigates the system-justifying role of complementary stereotypes in which high-status groups are represented as agentic and achievement-oriented and low-status groups as communal and interpersonally oriented. We demonstrate that such complementary stereotypes: (a) reflect a high degree of consensus across high- and low-status perceiver groups; (b) are endorsed more strongly to the extent that system justification motives are chronically or temporarily activated; and (c) serve an ideological function by enhancing the perceived legitimacy of the existing social system. Evidence concerning regional and ethnic stereotypes in Italy, England, and Israel provides converging evidence for the system-justifying function of complementary stereotypes and reveals remarkable similarity in the contents of stereotypes of different groups that happen to occupy similar status positions in their respective societies.

Legitimacy Crisis? Behavioral Approach and Inhibition When Power Differences are Left Unexplained

Possessing social power leads to approach-related affect and behavior, whereas lacking power leads to inhibition (Keltner, Gruenfeld, & Anderson, Psychol Rev 110:265–284, 2003). However, such effects should be moderated by whether an explanation is given for these power differences. Participants were assigned to a low-power or high-power role and then interacted with a confederate in the opposite role. Participants were told these role assignments were made for legitimate (expertise) or illegitimate (nepotism) reasons, or were given no explanation. High-power participants showed more approach-related affect and behavior and reported less dissonance than low-power participants, but many of these effects were moderated by the presence versus absence of an explanation. When no explanation for power differences was provided, high-power participants exhibited more approach-related behavior than low-power participants but also felt more guilt and unease. Implications for system justification theory and the literature on social power are discussed.     

交叉询问制度之辩护价值及其于我国之可借鉴性分析

交叉询问制度是英美当事人主义国家最具特色、最受推崇的司法制度之一,也是其审判制度和证据规则的重要组成部分。交叉询问制度有利于更好地发挥辩护职能,有利于实现控辩双方的平等对抗,但亦会对诉讼效率、诉讼公正产生一定消极影响。分析交叉询问制度于我国之可借鉴性时,必须对其优劣所在、适用基础以及相关配套机制等加以综合考量,唯此方能做出理性、科学的决定。
