Warning behaviors and leaked intent: Potential new avenues to prevent mass shootings

On March 12, 2018, John Laubscher, owner of AJ’s Archery in Nelson, NY, had a gut feeling and refused to sell a rifle to a Syracuse University student—disrupting a mass shooting ( https://www.syracuse.com/crime/2018/04/how_gun_shop_owner_thwarted_on_the_edge_su_student_from_buying_high-capacity_rif.html . Accessed 10 Nov 2021). Prompted by this, we surveyed the opinions, beliefs, attitudes, and current practices of gun sellers in Onondaga County, NY, in regard to safe gun sales. The primary outcome was to determine which types of “concerning behaviors” are more likely to cause a seller to intervene in some manner. Secondary outcomes included the following: ascertaining the frequency of denials of customer purchases, frequency of reporting to law enforcement, and identifying any gaps that make it difficult for gun sellers to report behaviors to the authorities. Follow-up interviews were conducted with those who were willing to speak with the authors in more depth. A response rate of 12.9% was achieved. Sixty-two percent (62.5%) of respondents had some experience in uniformed services, with specialized training in mental or emotional crises, as well as deception detection. The majority found the training helpful in their gun selling career. Reasons for personal denials were reported as: “interest in illegal fittings,” “information revealed during conversation,” and “lack of basic knowledge of using the firearm looking to purchase.” Two respondents stated that due to a lack of a “reporting protocol,” they would not report any concerns to law enforcement. The study helps inform future research in regard to surveying more sellers across NY state and nationwide.

Boys bullied using more physical violence, while girls reported less; however, both boys and girls indicated they were threatened with harm more than 26% of the time when bullied.     

P2P服务提供者侵权责任问题研究

P2P技术自1999年诞生以来,由于其技术的本质特性不可避免地存在着许多法律上的问题,在学术界和司法界也存在过争议,这在很长一段时间使得人们对于P2P很难给予一个准确和公平的判断,从而导致对P2P服务提供者是否侵权以及如何认定侵权模棱两可。随着P2P技术的不断发展,人们对其技术的认识也日渐清晰,对其服务提供者承担责任问题也在司法实践中日渐成熟。结合中美典型案例分析P2P网络服务提供者在P2P技术的不同发展阶段承担侵权责任的问题,以期为将来P2P技术不断深入发展,司法实践中如何认定网络服务提供者的侵权责任提供借鉴。     

检察机关食品公益诉讼探讨

2011年《民事诉讼法(修改稿)》草案审议时,许多学者提出了食品公益诉讼的概念,使公益诉讼再次成为热议的焦点。就司法实务而言,重要的不是讨论食品公益诉讼的必要性和可行性,而是探究食品安全公共利益在法律上的具体诉求,以及如何满足其诉求。本文以检察机关提起食品公益诉讼为例,借用经济学上外部性理论,从公益诉讼的保护对象入手,分析食品公益诉讼的客体及其请求权基础,并结合诉讼法的基本命题,论证食品公益诉讼的诉讼请求、损失的计算以及举证责任等问题,进而划分公益诉讼与行政权、私权在诉讼法上的衔接界线。     

从法律监督权的视角审视刑事诉讼改革

强化法律监督是为了更好实现权利与秩序的平衡，在刑事诉讼改革中应着重解决法律监督权原则化、抽象化问题，实现权力的具体化、操作化，并以法律监督权的安全为底线，确保法律监督权安全有效运行。     

安全生产问题随谈

安全第一方针，已不断被我国政策、法律所强化；对违反《安全生产法》行为的处罚，我国法律正在逐渐加重；严格遵守安全生产法律法规，不仅是职工之福，亦是企业之福。     

强化红线意识 维护职工安全权

安全权是职工的基本权益,安全发展是我国的基本战略。2013年,习近平总书记指出,"接连发生的重特大安全生产事故,造成重大人员伤亡和财产损失,必须引起高度重视。人命关天,发展决不能以牺牲人的生命为代价"。企业是安全生产的责任主体,应吸取事故教训。企业工会应发挥监督职能,从监督企业提足用好安全生产费用,签订劳动安全卫生专项集体合同,协助职工签订劳动合同,教育职工提高安全意识,开展安全大检查并建立预警机制等途径有效维护职工安全权。     

建设平安乡村构建和谐社会

本世纪头20年,是我国改革发展的重要战略机遇期。要抓住机遇,深化改革、扩大开放、加快发展,实现全面建设小康社会的宏伟目标,需要一个和谐稳定的社会环境。我国是一个拥有13亿人口的大国,9亿在农村,没有农村的全面小康,就不会有全国的全面小康;没有农村社会的和谐稳定,就不会有整个社会的和谐稳定。乡村是农村构成的基本单位,因此,建设和谐稳定的新农村,离不开平安乡村建设这一基础性工程。
