An experimental study of a therapeutic boot camp: Impact on impulses, attitudes and recidivism

Two hundred thirty four adult male inmates entering prison were randomly assigned to an early release program in either a correctional boot camp or a large, traditional prison in the Maryland state correctional system. Boot camp releasees had marginally lower recidivism compared to those released from the traditional prison. A pre-test, post-test self report survey indicated the boot camp program had little impact on criminogenic characteristics except for a lowering of self control. In contrast, inmates in prison became more antisocial, lower in self control, worse in anger management, and reported more criminal tendencies by the end of their time in prison. Criminogenic attitudes and impulses were significantly associated with recidivism. The impact of the boot camp diminished to non-significance when antisocial attitudes or anger management problems were added to the models predicting recidivism. Implications for jurisdictions considering whether to operate correctional boot camps are discussed.     

刑事司法过程的社会效果与社会成本——关于刑事司法效率的思考

刑事司法的高效率不仅仅指司法过程的迅速和司法资源的低消耗,而且指司法过程良好的社会效果和社会成本的最低支付.司法的社会效果与社会成本被忽视,反映出人们司法效率理念的缺陷.提高刑事司法效率,应当注重司法过程的社会效果,防止司法成本社会化.     

传递性推理心理效应的研究

传递性推理心理效应是指在进行传递性推理时各种因素对做出演绎结论的影响。传递性推理的心理效应主要包括端点锚定效应、系列位置效应、符号距离效应、一致性效应、转换效应、方向效应。深入研究传递性推理中的心理效应有助于进一步揭示传递性推理机制。在未来的传递性推理研究中要高度重视对心理效应的系统研究。     

论经营判断原则在欧洲反收购立法中的运用--兼"严格中立原则"之检讨

通过对欧洲反收购立法中采用的严格中立原则中存在的忽视股东集体行动和董事对于非股东利益相关者的义务、经验主义、为政府强制性反收购措施所不容等非理性状况的分析,提出了在欧洲反收购立法中采用经营判断原则的建议,认为这样可以为敌意收购行为提供更统一的运作环境,保护股东利益,减少成员国在建立反垄断屏障的压力,并且为企业在采取反收购行动时提供更丰富的选择。     

THE PRIVATIZATION OF VIOLENCE*

Norbert Elias's (1939) work on “the civilizing process” highlighted the long‐term decline in violence within Western societies. A substantial amount of more recent anthropological and historical evidence suggests that violence has evolved not just quantitatively but qualitatively as well. In particular, the social characteristics of the parties to violence have changed over time. Drawing on Donald Black's (1976, 1993a) theoretical ideas on conflict management, the present paper proposes that as intimate social ties weakened and the state strengthened, collective and nonintimate forms of (nonpolitical) violence declined significantly. Consequently, violence increasingly became less public, more private. Pockets of residual public violence can, however, still be found within modern state societies. Privatization varies, then, across time and social space.     

检察业务管理模式评析

现行检察业务管理模式受我国政治体制、司法架构、党政机关管理方式的影响,领导权能多元化、管理过程行政化、管理方式多样化、绩效考评简单化等特征相当突出,在机制设置的科学性、业务人员的适应性、业务活动的有效性以及社会评价的满意度等方面存在不小的缺陷和不足.在新的历史条件下,完善检察业务管理机制的根本途径在于重构内部业务架构、完善业务领导模式、规范行为控制体系、实施专业化质量评估.     

社会司法鉴定机构建设应坚持“公益性为主”原则

社会司法鉴定机构是为三类诉讼活动提供鉴定服务的公益性组织。准确把握其性质，有利于顺利进行司法鉴定体制改革，有重点地做好鉴定管理工作。目前，相当多的鉴定管理部门将社会司法鉴定机构定位为商业性服务机构，并按等价交换原则收取鉴定费用。这种做法是与司法鉴定活动的性质、鉴定结论的证据要求以及确保司法公正相矛盾的。根据我国现行法律和执法环境条件，并借鉴外国立法经验，社会司法鉴定机构建设应当坚持“公益性为主，盈利性为补充”的原则，并在机构结构与布局、鉴定收费、国家重点扶持等方面予以调整。
