死刑执行时间的古今比较与反思

我国具有漫长的死刑执行传统,对死刑执行的时间也有十分严格的规定,现代死刑执行时间的规定借鉴并发展了古代的传统。通过总结分析我国死刑执行时间的历史渊源,区别古今死刑执行时间的异同,可以为我国当前死刑制度改革提供一定的制度借鉴。     

动产善意取得的法理基础

在关于动产善意取得法理基础的诸说中，对我国影响最大的是占有公信力说。该说不仅有悖于法理和民法体系逻辑，而且在实践中也会遭遇许多困难，不足为采。善意取得的本质是保证本着诚信而行为的交易主体能在社会公认的正常交易环境下依法实现其交易目的，其法理基础是交付的效力，伦理基础是诚实信用原则，交易安全保护则是该制度内含的经济理性。     

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.     

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.     

虚拟经济的效应与风险分析

虚拟经济在我国社会主义市场经济条件下对经济发展的作用日益突出,但是人们对它却存在着不同程度的片面认识,随着我国经济体制改革的不断深入,我国社会主义市场经济体制的不断完善,正确认识和掌握虚拟经济的运动规律越来越显得重要,特别是它自身的虚拟性经常表现出来的两面性,对我国社会主义的现代化建设既有积极作用也有消极作用的问题,非常值得我们深入研究。     

未生效合同的保护

未生效合同是指已经有效成立但尚未生效的合同,此概念源自于合同的成立与生效之区别。生效与否跟有效与否的判断不同,未生效不等于无效,生效与否的判断是时间的函数,可以将这种判断称为过程判断。本文将未生效合同分成三类:法律、行政法规规定经批准、登记等手续才生效的合同;附延缓条件、附始期的合同;当事人约定其他生效要件的合同。三类未生效合同各有其特征,民法应当基于合理性的考虑,对各类未生效合同的保护作出妥适的规定。     

刑罚本质的哲学思考

刑罚的本质是决定刑罚之所以为刑罚的内在规定性,是刑罚内部诸要素相互作用的所产生的有机联系,本质是一个综合性的系统,它有层级划分。这是刑罚本质的综合性所决定的,也是运用哲学的方法对刑罚本质进行思考所得出的结论。
