恢复性警务理论溯源

恢复性警务是警察在执法过程中、执行相关法律政策时,尽力考虑弥补受害人及受害单位、社区等损失,依法促成社会关系的修复,达到责任人自我悔悟、真诚悔过认错的一种警务执法活动。恢复性警务理论不仅来源于恢复性司法,还来源于自然法理论与和谐社会理论。恢复性警务不仅是一种执法理念,更是一种与恢复性理念相契合的警务制度。恢复性警务应在社区矛盾调解、治安案件和解、刑事侦查、轻微刑罚执行等方面对警务执法活动进行制度化改造,建立起完善的恢复性警务模式。     

传统中国政治化惩贪例析——以唐前期为中心

传统中国政治斗争无处不在，在政治斗争的需要下，政治化惩贪应运而生。政治化惩贪是以惩贪为名，行打击政敌之实。专制政体下政治权力制衡的缺失是政治化惩贪产生的根本原因，官员多贪贿的事实及政治斗争的需要是政治化惩贪产生的直接原因。政治化惩贪对传统中国惩贪实践整体产生了深刻影响，使其表现出选择性办案、选择性不办案、用刑畸轻畸重等特点，惩贪的效果由此大打折扣，而传统中国的政治斗争也因此更趋激烈复杂。     

Talk it out: toward a narrative theory of community conferencing

I advance a narrative theory of restorative justice-practice – more specifically a narrative theory of community conferencing practice. I contend that positioning theory, a particular type of narrative theory, enhances the understanding of how community conferencing works. I argue that positioning theory offers a significant advancement of the current theories of community conferencing practice – affect theory and the theory of reintegrative shaming. In order to make this argument, I provide a brief history of the development of the practice of community conferencing, followed by a discussion of the current predominant theories of community conferencing practice. Then, I discuss the value of narrative theory, with a specific focus on the utility of positioning theory. Finally, I apply positioning theory to an understanding of community conferencing practice and suggest areas for future investigation of the utility of the theory.     

宽严相济刑事政策运行问题研究

宽严相济刑事政策作为一种基本的、应然的和系统的刑事政策,应由纸面上的法转变为行动中的法。宽严相济刑事政策与刑事立法和刑事司法具有密切关系：刑罚结构的改变和刑罚的轻缓化是我国刑罚制度的发展方向;刑事司法实践中适用宽严相济刑事政策应注意刑事和解、社区矫正和修复性司法等等措施或制度的运用,并建立各部门间的协调机制。宽严相济刑事政策在运行中应注意相关具体的适用性问题。     

罪刑法定司法化的路径探讨

对于罪刑法定原则的研究,以罪刑法定司法化为研究视角,突破了以往以立法为中心的研究方向。司法者如何操作法律是罪刑法定原则实现的关键,这不仅需要完备的司法体制与先进的司法技术,更需要司法理念的创新。在罪刑法定司法化的过程中,刑事政策作为司法体制的特殊组成部分需要予以合理使用,法官的能动性是提高司法技术的重要环节。另外,司法理念作为思想保障,更需要确定形式理性的标准。从这三个角度探讨罪刑法定司法化实现的路径,不仅突破以往的研究方法,更是深入理解罪刑法定原则的方式之一。     

Procedural Justice for Victims and Offenders?: Exploring Restorative Justice Processes in Australia and the US

Sociolegal research indicates that when citizens perceive that legal processes and procedures are fair, both positive and negative legal outcomes will be viewed as acceptable. However, little is known about perceptions of fairness in informal contexts such as in restorative justice (RJ) practices and with victims (and offenders) who participate in these programs. Drawing on interviews with key actors engaged in post-conviction RJ programs for serious crimes in Australia and the USA, this paper asks, do post-conviction therapeutic RJ programs for violent crimes enhance procedural justice for victims and offenders? The data reveal that RJ is compatible with procedural justice for both victims and offenders. Specifically, RJ aids in correcting the harms created by the formal criminal justice system and, thus, satisfies and even greatly enhances procedural justice goals for both victims and offenders.     

恢复性司法视野下赔偿与量刑关系的重构

"赔偿从轻"是普遍的司法实践,但其因仅仅关注经济赔偿、脱离刑事和解的大框架而被诟病为"花钱买刑"。以恢复性司法为视角,赔偿与量刑的关系需要重构。赔偿从轻原则应当尽量创造犯罪人与被害人面对面接触的机会、应当以犯罪人充分认识到自己行为的后果为前提、应当以修复犯罪人、被害人与社区之间破损的关系为内涵,司法机关同时应关注对被害人心理健康的修复。     

Apology and Remorse in the Last Statements of Death Row Prisoners

The role of apology is beginning to receive attention from within the criminal justice system. Research suggests that both victims and offenders can benefit when the offender offers an apology and shows remorse. Less is known, however, about the frequency with which offenders apologize and the content of their apologies. In this study we conducted an exploratory analysis of remorse‐related content in the last statements of inmates on death row in Texas between December 7, 1982 and August 31, 2007. Almost one‐third of the offenders offered an apology, most of which were directed toward the victim’s family. In addition, these apologies were linked with other indications of remorse and sincerity, such as asking for forgiveness and showing empathy. Logistic regression analyses showed that apology was reliably predicted by these remorse‐related variables, but not by demographic variables or variables related to the crime itself. Implications and future research directions are discussed.     

刑事和解:误读与澄清——以与恢复性司法比较为视角

在西方,刑事和解是恢复性司法的起源与模式之一。在我国,刑事和解起源于轻伤害案件处理方式的改革,是民事赔偿责任的和解,更强调当事人双方矛盾的化解,而非社会关系的全面恢复,属于原发性的而非继发性的、整体性的而非平行性的司法举措。     

论司法公正的障碍与制度选择

法律保障着人类的平等、自由和安全,是维护正义的手段,而法律得以有效实施,得益于程序完备的司法制度。在我国的司法实践中存在着大量的问题,而要解决这些存在的问题,就必须找到产生这些问题的原因,原因是多方面的,但多半是源于制度上的缺陷。我国现行司法制度的主要缺陷表现在:司法权力地方化、司法活动行政化、司法队伍整体素质偏低等。这些实践中存在的问题,已严重制约了法律的有效实施,损害了司法机关的形象和司法的权威。因此,司法制度的改革势在必行。
