论同案被告证人资格及证言证明力

传统观点认为,刑事被告人与案件结果存在利害关系,因此其不具有证人资格。随着世界范围内证人资格的扩张,刑事被告人与案件的利害关系逐渐与证人资格脱离开来,同案被告人的供述可以作为证言使用。当然,同案被告人与案件利害关系的强弱影响到其证言的证明力。具体来说,由于同案共犯之间存在直接利害关系,其口供在一般情况下需要补强;而同案非共犯以及非同案共犯由于与案件不存在利害关系,因此其口供证明力较强,无需补强即可作为定案依据。     

匿名威胁爆炸案的新特点及其现场处置对策

近些年北京发生匿名威胁爆炸案件显现猛升势头,并出现一些新的特点.对这类案件的现场处置应遵循"信、严、快、判、细、敢"六字方针.     

关于刑事错案纠正过程中相关程序问题的思考

程序公正是实现实体公正的前提,用不当程序纠正错案,不但会影响到错案的纠正,而且会再一次损害司法机关的威信和法律的尊严,甚至会出现出新的错案。纠正错案,必须遵循刑事诉讼的基本制度,严格遵守法定程序。     

从判决书看缓刑的适用

刑事司法政策、缓刑制度功能、刑法条文规定、犯罪案件类型及被告人自身情况等都是影响缓刑适用的因素。从判决书反映的情况来看,不管是基层法院还是中级法院,故意伤害案件和交通肇事案件缓刑适用率都相对较高,财产类犯罪案件则较少适用。在实践中,缓刑的适用主要存在对宽严相济刑事政策的把握不准,缓刑监督考察机制不健全等问题。可以考虑从这两方面入手完善我国的缓刑制度。     

Touch DNA collection from improvised explosive devices: A comprehensive study of swabs and moistening agents

Improvised explosive devices (IEDs) are used in devastating terrorist attacks worldwide and daily in Thailand. Touch DNA deposited during IED assembly are subjected to intense heat and pressure, resulting in rare events of usable DNA profiles obtained from real casework. No study has simultaneously evaluated both swab brands and moistening agents for touch DNA collection from substrates encountered in IED evidence. In this study, we investigated the effects of swab brands and moistening agents on DNA collection from adhesive tape, a common IED substrate. A full factorial design using four cotton swab brands (two forensic and two medical cotton swabs) and six moistening agents (DNA-free water, phosphate-buffered saline, ethanol, sodium dodecyl sulfate, isopropanol, and lysis buffer) was employed (24 total combinations). Using buffy coats, we found that DNA recovery depended on both swab brands and moistening agents (p < 0.05). The optimal method recovered significantly higher DNA amount from real IED cases compared to the standard Royal Thai Police method. Percentages of high partial profiles also increased. Our results changed the standard operating protocol of the Thai police. Other commonly found substrates from IED cases are being investigated to maximize the evidential value obtained from touch DNA.     

犯罪现场分析中的事件性质分析

现场分析的一项重要任务是判明事件性质,是犯罪案件还是其他事件。有些现场不难判明事件性质,而有些现场想要判明事件性质却颇为困难,在这种情况下,现场分析应将事件性质问题作为重要议题。文章从分析事件性质、分析假案、分析案件性质三个方面对事件性质进行了分析论述。     

论案例教学法在法律与电子法务教学中的实践

在法律与电子法务专业教学中需注重理论与实践的结合,案例教学法正是最佳的选择。在选择案例方面所选案例应该是原始的、未经任何改变的材料,应具有结论的不确定性。在讲授分析案例时需注意掌握案例分析的一般方法,将法律、法理与案情相结合,注重案例讨论组织的规范性,注重培养学生使用电子网络数据库查找案例的能力。     

交汇口处的权力异化与矫正——城市化进程中村改居社区区务人员腐败透析

按吉登斯的理解，交汇口是非专业性个人或团体与抽象体系的代理人之间的连接点，是抽象体系的薄弱环节，也是信任得以维系或建立的交叉点。具体到村改居社区，交汇口成为一把双刃剑，一方面是权力异化的场域，另一方面又是权力矫正的场域。遏制村改居社区区务人员腐败，重塑交汇口信任是关键环节，结合现实，应着重从理念培育、制度控制、组织孵化及信任文化塑造等方面入手。     

定位、偏差与校正——谈《国有土地上房屋征收与补偿条例》实施过程中的政府角色定位

虽然《国有土地上房屋征收与补偿条例》已颁布实行,但没有从根本上解决暴力拆迁事件的发生。究其根源是地方政府对自身角色定位出现了偏差。因此,只有明确地方政府的合理角色,分析角色偏差产生的原因,提出针对性的校正措施,才能解决拆迁各方的矛盾和冲突,保护被拆迁人的合法权益,顺利推进我国城市化的进程。     

The implementation of case formulation by probation officers: service user and carer views

Background: The recent UK Government strategy on high-risk offenders with personality disorders (PD) proposes improved identification of this group, assessment of their treatment needs through case formulation (CF) and the subsequent provision of treatment pathways. Little is known about service user and carer views on this strategy. Aims/Hypotheses: This study sought to identify the views of personality-disordered (PD) offenders and carers on the proposed role of Probation staff in CF. Methods: Three focus groups were carried out, two with service users and one with carers, with a total of 10 participants overall. Results: Five themes emerged: ‘power’, ‘conflicting roles’, ‘trust’, ‘building a relationship through consistency of care’ and ‘hope and possibility’. Conclusions/Practical implications: Offenders and carers were sceptical regarding the proposed role of Offender Manager (OMs) in CF and this could pose a potential barrier to the successful implementation of the strategy.
