精神病犯服刑能力评定量表研究

目的制订符合中国法律体系的精神病犯服刑能力评定量表。方法根据鉴定实践,结合中国法律,研究者首先创建了称为“精神病犯服刑能力评定量表”的评定工具,然后再回顾性运用该工具,通过诊断性实验,对该工具的信度、效度及实用性进行了检验。结果该量表同质性信度为0.8779,量表评定与专家评定一致性为0.909,除了阴性似然比为0.0683,其他诊断性指标均大于0.80。结论精神病犯服刑能力评定量表具有较好的实用性。

正Green Coverage China’s forests such as that pictured to the right covered21.63 percent of the country’s land at the end of 2013,a rise of1.27 percentage points compared to five years ago,a State Forestry Administration survey showed.Total forest areas grew to208 million hectares at the end of2013,up from 195 million hectares five years ago.Growing stock per hectare increased by 3.91 cubic meters to 89.79 cubic meters over the past half a decade,according to a report of the five-year survey released on February 25.

信息时代犯罪定量标准的体系化构建

伴随着信息技术和互联网的迅猛发展,传统的犯罪定量标准体系在信息时代日渐滞后,难以适用于网络空间和网络犯罪。司法实践中对于犯罪定量标准在"点"上有所探索,但是在"面"上整体滞后,缺乏成体系的犯罪定量标准体系,根本无法对于信息时代不断增长和变异的新型犯罪进行公正、高效的定量评价。信息时代犯罪定量标准的整体创建遭遇着惯性阻碍,表现在信息时代犯罪定量标准体系的单一化倾向与数量化倾向。对于网络犯罪创建体系化的犯罪定量标准是当务之急;而创新全新定量标准体系的整体发展路径,是在采用复合化方案与情节化方案。     

Competing Risks, Persistence, and Desistance in Analyzing Recidivism

A statistical procedure is developed to analyze recidivism in samples whichare subject to the presence of desisters and to multiple modes ofreconviction. This allows for a more accurate study of individuals'transition and hazard in the type and timing of offenses following aspecific type of conviction. The use of a nonparametric approach forinvestigating failure in the presence of other acting causes is shown;initial estimators of the probabilities of reconviction for different typesof offenses are obtained, and the method can be used both to display thedata and to choose an appropriate parametric family for the survivaltimes. An exponential mixture model for competing risks is presented insuch a way that it allows us to adjust for concomitant variables and toassess their effects on the probabilities both of reconviction forpredetermined types of offenses and desistance and of the hazards ofreconviction; a method for assessing calibration of predicted survivalprobabilities is suggested. A 21-year follow-up of persons convicted ofindecent assault on a female in 1973 illustrates the methods; we find ahigh probability of sexual reconviction for individuals with previoussexual convictions and evidence of diversity and a raised hazard ofreconviction for young chronic offenders.     

论对外国刑事判决的承认与执行

本文着重探讨了承认与执行外国刑事判决的条件、程序和中国开展承认与执行外国法院刑事判决的必要性。     

论判决理由的价值本位——从社会主义法治理念出发

判决理由在法学研究中一直处于边缘地位,但是,对于法官而言,却是极其重要的。通过对司法改革以来判决理由质量变化不大的根源的立体性考察,判决理由始终未得到充分重视的原因在于对其价值本位的认知存在偏差。因此,只有结合社会主义法治理念,将判决理由的价值本位还原于法治价值,方能改善这种局面并走出此种困境进而推动未来司法改革的发展。     

严格适用免除刑罚规定——兼谈对刑法第37条的理解

免除刑罚的适用必须遵循以犯罪事实为依据、以刑法规定为准绳的原则,正确选择多功能从宽量刑情节,充分考虑适用免除刑罚的必要性。刑法第37条是关于非刑罚处罚方法的概括规定,在不具有具体的免除刑罚情节的情况下,不宜直接依据该条规定对被告人免除刑罚,防止滥用自由裁量权。     

社区矫正：行刑社会化的必然趋势

社区矫正是一种与传统监狱服刑方式不同的、特殊的服刑方式,它让罪犯在社区中执行刑罚。它的产生有其深厚的理论基础。社区矫正符合当今世界行刑制度的发展潮流,体现了以人为本的思想,有利于犯罪人回归社会,也有利于行刑经济。我国的社区矫正试点工作取得了一定的成绩,但还存在法律依据不足,社会认同程度不高等问题。社区矫正的执行主体由司法行政机关担任比较合适。社区矫正的适用对象应做进一步的合理调整。     

二审程序与死刑复核程序合并适用问题分析

对二审程序与死刑复核程序合并适用的问题直接影响程序正义的实现,影响审判的公信力。死刑核准权上收是尊重生命权的必然选择;二审程序与死刑复核程序分开是程序公正的必然要求。
