从恢复性司法论我国“和解制度的刑事化”

“恢复性司法”是西方国家的一项刑事司法制度,它的价值在于通过犯罪人、被害人及其他主体之间积极主动的沟通和交流,让犯罪人有机会通过积极的、负责任的行为尽快改过自新、融入社会,同时使得被害人因犯罪所造成的物质、精神损失得到有效的补偿,使被害人受犯罪影响的生活能够尽快地恢复常态,最大限度地保护被害人的合法权益。我国应借鉴其合理之处,构建我国的刑事和解制度。     

树立正确的执法理念 提高执法水平

当前公安执法工作在打击犯罪过程中取得了显著成效,但同时还存在着一些重实体、轻程序,重尽快破案、轻依法办案等突出问题,纠其原因,除了制度、法规缺乏完善的客观原因外,主要是执法思想不端正。因此,树立正确的执法理念,对于依法办案,提高执法水平具有重要意义。     

PROFILING AND POLICE LEGITIMACY: PROCEDURAL JUSTICE,ATTRIBUTIONS OF MOTIVE,AND ACCEPTANCE OF POLICE AUTHORITY*

This paper reports the results of four studies that investigate racial profiling as an attribution about police motives. Each study explores, first, the types of police behavior that heighten or lessen the occurrence of profiling attributions and, second, the consequences of such attributions. Results support prior studies in finding that judgments about whether the police are profiling are associated with the level of public support for the police. The studies then extend the analysis of subjective profiling judgments by examining their antecedents. The findings support the procedural justice hypothesis that the fairness with which the police exercise their authority influences whether members of the public view the police as profiling.

Levinas and the possibility of justice

I consider the question of whether critical legal theory can amount to more than an obstructive exercise and point to an alternative approach to the problem of institutional justice. I am not trying to redeem critical legal theory neither do I attempt to exonerate it from the charge of obstruction or as Drucilla Cornell terms it, negative dialectics. However, I share to some lesser degree the concern that it ought to be possible to offer more than the exposure of camouflaged injustice. By camouflaged I mean that branch of jurisprudence, positivist in outlook and tonality that maintains and defends the violation of the other as an integral and necessary aspect of law and further argues that as such it is entirely ethical. I examine a number of different perspectives to this seemingly impossible challenge. Borrowing from and adapting their theses I then go on to suggest my own solution for applying alterity to juridical encounters with the Other.Dr. Amanda Loumansky is a Sessional Lecturer at the Faculty of Continuing Education, Birkbeck College, University of London, London, UK     

Lay-Perspectives on Criminal Deviance,Goals of Punishment,and Punitivity

Empirical studies corroborate a relatively close relation between goals of sentencing and punitiveness. However, it is not clear what aspects of sentencing goals motivate harsh punishment. This study analyzes the structure of sentencing goals and scrutinizes in particular whether the idea of retribution is associated with punitiveness, or whether punishment considerations from a societal perspective (macrolevel) are the source of more punitive responses. A questionnaire was mailed to a random sample drawn in Bern, Switzerland. A total of 357 persons responded to items measuring constructs including goals of sentencing, punitiveness, target of justice considerations, and perceived threat to society, after reading one of three short stories about specific crimes (fraud, physical injury, assault). Results of this study reveal a two-dimensional structure of sentencing goals. One dimension represents readiness to punish and exclude the offender socially. The other dimension refers to concerns of the victim versus the needs of the society as a whole. The analysis provides a new interpretation of sentencing goals.     

死刑复核程序中被告人的诉讼权利问题

死刑复核程序中被告人应当享有充分的诉讼权利,这是肯定死刑复核程序的诉讼属性、体现被告人的程序主体地位、保障死刑判决正确适用、提高死刑判决可接受性的必然要求;以国际公约的相关规定为参照,我国死刑复核程序被告人的诉讼权利处于极度匮乏状态因而亟需完善,一方面应确保被告人享有普通案件审判程序中的诉讼权利除非其自行放弃,另一方面应对被告人予以特殊的保护。具体而言应当赋予被告人关于死刑复核程序审理方式的选择权、强制辩护权、反对强迫自证其罪权、无罪推定权、免受双重危险权、申请赦免、减刑权等诉讼权利,并建立死刑延期执行制度,为被告人穷尽救济手段提供必要时间保障     

司法公正价值论

司法公正是维护社会正义与公平的基本要求 ,它本身就是一种价值判断。但是相对于司法宗旨而言 ,司法公正更具有工具性或形式性 ,因此 ,司法公正还应有更高的价值追求。本文从分析司法的功能与作用以及司法对于整个法律价值实现的思路出发 ,论述了司法公正的价值目标 ,提出了司法公正的价值判断标准 ,并对司法公正价值的实现进行了初步思考。

The decomposition and graphical analysis of crime and sanctions data: A cross-national application

This article attempts to illustrate the utility of isoquant map analysis from the field of production theory in microeconomics for the analysis of criminal justice data. Cross-national comparisons of aggregate crime and justice data are used to demonstrate the ability of this technique to reveal important patterns that are often obscured by simple rate comparisons and multivariate treatments such as pooled time-series analysis. For each jurisdiction, aggregate trends in criminal justice processing rates are systematically analyzed as a sequence of two-input production processes: gross imprisonment rates (prison population divided by resident population) can be partitioned in terms of the crime rate and punitiveness (prison population divided by the number of offenses); punitiveness can, in turn, be partitioned in terms of severity and certainty of punishment; certainty of punishment can then be partitioned, seriatim, in terms of the incarceration rate, the conviction rate, and the arrest or clearance rate and the rate at which citizens report crimes. Cross-national data collected by Farrington, Langan, and Wikström are used to illustrate the utility of the method for displaying comparisons of the decomposition of aggregate criminal justice data for the United States, England, and Sweden.
