Psychic investment in cruelty: three parables on race and imprisoning the mentally ill

Drawing on ethnographic and activist work in New York, I analyze three contemporary cases of mentally ill people charged violent crimes. State violence against them can be characterized as a differential and differentiated set of racial and gendered practices. The case studies offer something between a parable, a field report, and a cautionary tale of the dystopian tendencies already embedded within the criminal justice system in the United States. Based on these cases, I will argue that despite recent liberal reform, scant evidence suggests any deep shift in the web of agencies that pipe people, especially the mentally ill, into prison and jail, or a shift in the cruel and humiliating practices these agencies embody. For the society to achieve what Du Bois called an abolition democracy, the affective infrastructure and psychic investment in debasing subordinated others would have to be abolished.     

论单方面石油活动在海洋划界中的意义

争端当事国的单方面石油活动要想成为海洋划界的考虑因素,必须通过其单方面石油活动证明存在临时协议、默认、明示或默示协议.由于临时协议仅具有历史意义,而明示协议在实践中又不可能出现,那么只能寄希望于默认和默示协议.主张默认或默示协议的当事国,负有很高的举证责任,而成功的先例更是寥寥无几.其他声索国在南沙群岛附近海域非法实施的单方面石油活动,一直为中国政府所反对,自然不能作为日后海洋划界的考虑因素.     

浅淡涉税徇私舞弊罪的界定及预防

徇私舞弊罪是渎职罪中的重要种类。目前,税务人员涉税徇私舞弊罪的现象日趋突出,已经对当前税务干部队伍建设和税务机关正常履行税务职能产生了严重影响。因此,能否正确界定和有效预防涉税徇私舞弊罪的发生,对于检察机关正确行使侦查和公诉职能,推进税务机关依法治税,有效实现国家宏观调控职能作用有积极意义。本文针对当前执法、司法活动中存在的问题,主要从犯罪主体、主观方面、犯罪客观方面对涉税徇私舞弊罪的犯罪构成及界定作了理论分析,并结合税收实际对不应认定为徇私舞弊罪的行为进行了初步探讨,提出了预防此类犯罪的对策。     

民警执法观念变革及其方法论的思考

推进执法观念变革确有必要;在我国的现实法治环境中,“硬着陆”是无法回避的必然选择;但同时又必须对若干负效应加以必要的警惕。通过加强制度法规体系建设,培育整个社会的民主法制氛围,解决基层公安机关的现实困难,执法观念革命的目标则能实现。     

巴比妥类安眠药在胶束液相色谱中的保留行为

目的研究巴比妥类安眠药在胶束液相色谱中的保留行为,为其应用提供理论基础。方法选择阴离子型表面活性剂十二烷基硫酸钠（SDS）为流动相,分别考察胶束浓度、流动相pH、有机改性剂浓度、柱温等对巴比妥类安眠药保留行为的影响。结果随着胶束浓度增加,有机改性剂浓度增加以及柱温的升高,巴比妥类安眠药在色谱柱上保留能力降低。结论巴比妥类安眠药容量因子与表面活性剂SDS的浓度、有机改性剂浓度以及柱温成良好的线性关系,而巴比妥类安眠药的保留时间与流动相的pH值呈非线性关系。     

Uniformity as response to soft law: Evidence from compliance and non‐compliance with the Dutch corporate governance code

The objective of the paper is to examine how firms have dealt with the trade‐off between flexibility and uncertainty that is characteristic for the decision‐making of firms in coping with self‐regulatory initiatives in general and the comply‐or‐explain principle in corporate governance in particular. Using unique data for 126 listed Dutch firms, we find that firms respond to this self‐regulatory initiative by largely complying with the code recommendation, possibly out of fear that the firm's reputation may be damaged. Furthermore, we find evidence suggesting that firms confine themselves to adopting a specific set of code recommendations and use similar arguments to explain non‐compliance. Our findings indicate uniformity in adopting the standard of good governance which is not in line with the logic of corporate governance codes and casts doubt on the effectiveness of this form of soft law. Overall, the paper's findings indicate that more restrictive (regulatory) instruments may be necessary to make firms conform to the spirit of codes.     

侵犯公民个人信息犯罪的司法认定

《刑法修正案（七）》增设的侵犯公民个人信息犯罪包括出售、非法提供公民个人信息罪和非法获取公民个人信息罪两个罪名。对个人信息的理解应从广义上把握,即将个人隐私也纳入个人信息的范畴。两罪所要求的情节严重具有各自不同的内容,而不应统一解释。对事前无共谋,事后帮助他人出售非法获取的信息的行为,应以掩饰、隐瞒犯罪所得罪定罪处罚。     

对国际货物运输法统一化努力的思考

《联合国全程或者部分海上国际货物运输合同公约》是国际社会为推进国际货物运输法的统一而作的又一次努力。结合这一统一化运动,分析国际货物运输法统一化的动因、悖论、成果的局限性以及中国在这一过程中所起的作用,并对国际货物运输法统一化给予客观的评价。     

黑恶组织犯罪的初查研判研究

在黑恶组织犯罪案件的侦办过程中,由于此类犯罪操作层面大,取证难,因而大量立案前的调查行为在打黑实践中比比皆是,如对黑恶组织的早期摸排经营,情报信息的甄别审查等。较之检察机关侦办职务犯罪案件的初查制度的日益成熟与规范,立法对黑恶组织犯罪立案前的调查行为并未专门规定,它还处于一个实践概念的层面。黑恶组织犯罪的初查研判在打黑实践中极为关键,是侦查工作顺利开展的基础,是启动黑恶组织犯罪专案侦查的保障。     

SCM协议中财税措施地区专向性特别规定初探——兼评美国对华反补贴调查的相关案例及我国的对策

SCM协议地区专向性标准条款中的财税措施特别规定具有经济合理性,并符合WTO的政治考虑。该特别规定认定“有资格”的地方各级政府所采取的“确定或者改变”在其辖区内“普遍适用”税率的补贴措施不具有SCM协议意义上的专向性。我国应充分利用该特别规定提供的政策空间,深化税制改革,协调地方政府地区补贴与SCM协议之间的关系。
