现代传媒与监狱文化建设

现代传媒的充分利用是推动监狱文化建设的重要手段,对这一课题进行深入的理性思考和规范设计具有重要意义。社会与时代的发展要求我们对监狱文化进行全面的创新与提升,充分利用现代传媒的力量推动监狱文化的创新与提升可以收到事半功倍的效果。我们可以利用现代传媒改变监狱人民警察信息不对称现状,更新观念,拓展视野,倡导和贯彻科学精神;发挥现代媒体的开发功能,利用现代媒体宣介监狱,树立监狱良好的社会公众形象;利用现代传媒吸引和调动社会资源为监狱工作服务;利用现代传媒搭建监狱工作的信息平台;利用现代传媒扩大对外交流。     

The Personality Assessment Inventory (PAI): Treatment Scales and Interpersonal Characteristics in a Sample of Men Charged with or Convicted of a Sexual Offense*

An individual's interpersonal features are pertinent to treatment within clinical populations. The Personality Assessment Inventory (PAI) contains two scales that assess the interpersonal features of warmth (WRM) and dominance (DOM), as well as two additional measures to assess to treatment prediction, process, and rejection (RXR; TPI). The current study examined associations between these PAI scales in a sample of 92 men who underwent comprehensive evaluations of sexual behavior after being charged with or convicted of a sexual offense. Analyses indicated that RXR was positively associated with WRM and DOM, TPI was negatively associated with WRM, and the two interpersonal scales of WRM and DOM were positively correlated with each other. A significant inverse relationship was found between the two treatment scales RXR and TPI indicating that motivation for treatment may have a limited relationship with the treatment process. WRM significantly predicted scores on the TPI, and both WRM and DOM predicted individual scores on RXR. Higher scores on positive impression management (PIM) were predictive of lower TPI and higher RXR, as individuals with higher stakes cases may score higher on PIM and underreport obstacles within treatment or be unwilling to accept the need for treatment. Overall, findings suggest that interpersonal characteristics identified by the PAI scales may be advantageous in approaching treatment within this population.     

Sustained Outcomes? an Exploratory Study of Juvenile Drug Courts and Long-Term Recidivism

This exploratory study examined juvenile drug courts’ effect on adulthood recidivism. Utilizing a twelve-year average follow up time, adult recidivism rates were compared between previous juvenile drug court participants and a comparison group of juveniles who participated in traditional probation. Linear regression models indicated limited recidivism effects of drug court on arrests or convictions into adulthood. The findings suggest that gender and race may play a role in how justice-involved juveniles interact and experience juvenile drug court, highlighting the need for gender-responsive and culturally responsive policies, practices, and programs within juvenile drug courts. Recommendations are made regarding future research areas and ways to potentially improve long-term juvenile drug court outcomes.     

新冠肺炎尸检:法医工作者面临的挑战与对策

新型冠状病毒肺炎(简称"新冠肺炎")病例于2019年12月出现,疫情在短时间内蔓延,已导致数千名患者死亡。目前我们对新冠肺炎的致病、转归、致死的病理学机制了解甚少,尽早开展新冠肺炎死亡病例的尸体检验尤为重要,这给法医工作者带来了挑战。新冠肺炎尸检应在可以维持负压的独立解剖室进行,检验人员应严格按照三级防护标准穿戴防护用具,注重环境、器械、耗材的消毒以及废液废弃物处理。解剖及检验过程应规范、谨慎,尽量减少切割操作,并避免体液流出或组织飞溅导致病毒传播。本文将就法医工作者面临新冠肺炎尸检的挑战与对策做一述评。     

经济法规的合宪性审查标准——基于对美国联邦最高法院判例的考察

对法律文件的违宪审查是我国合宪性审查体系的重要组成部分。在美国的违宪审查实践中,针对法律所涉及的内容,分别存在着合理审查、中等审查和严格审查等不同的审查标准。对于经济领域的法律,一般采用合理审查标准,但近年来在涉及言论自由的经济领域,其审查标准往往会提高。在我国的合宪性审查制度中,如果法院在个案审判中发现法律存在违宪嫌疑时,可以建立向最高人民法院移送的机制,并通过听证程序进行充分论证以决定是否向全国人大常委会提出合宪性审查请求。在审查中,对于我国的经济法律不宜直接采用合理审查标准,而应提高审查标准。     

论行政机关协助执行行为的可诉性

行政机关协助执行行为认定为"司法协助行为+行政行为",可以在确保司法权威与提高执行效率的同时促进法治政府的建设,为当事人合法权益救济提供可能。《关于适用〈中华人民共和国行政诉讼法〉的解释》第一条第二款第七项但书前的规定,因为受司法权作用,是不具有可诉性的司法协助义务;但书后的规定,因为有行政机关独立自主的意思表示,是具有可诉性的行政行为。其中,但书中"扩大执行范围"包括执行范围内容、种类、期限的扩大,"采取违法方式"包括滥用职权、超越职权以及程序违法。"缩小执行范围""不作为""擅自撤销或变更"等协助执行违法行为需要通过类推适用的方式对条款的法律漏洞予以填补。     

欧亚经济联盟框架下海关管控领域犯罪及其刑法规制路径研究

欧亚经济联盟作为复杂的跨国组织机构,其经济体系刑法保护机制的构建必须具备一定前提,即应当对各成员国所面临的现实经济安全威胁及其预防的基本方向进行详实分析,并在此基础上制定和实施切实可行的刑法规制路径,构建欧亚经济安全保障新理念。欧亚经济联盟框架内的动态整合过程,不仅影响各成员国内国政治、经济、社会、法律等领域的发展进程,而且使得打击海关领域犯罪成为各成员国的紧迫任务。海关管控领域的常发型犯罪对同属于"关税同盟"和"欧亚经济联盟"国家的经济安全造成严重威胁。欧亚经济联盟成员国应当在公平正义和罪刑相称原则的基础上,修订本国经济活动领域和海关管控领域犯罪的刑事立法规定,有效打击统一关税空间内的违法犯罪,以保障各成员国的内国经济安全。     

Stakeholder involvement in collaborative regulatory processes: Using automated coding to track attendance and actions

Regulation increasingly mandates collaborative approaches to increase stakeholder input and streamline approval processes. However, understanding how to maintain stakeholder involvement over the course of a long collaborative process is vital to optimize effectiveness. This paper observes more than 700 stakeholders involved in developing and implementing a dam operating license over 16 years. We use text mining and Bayesian hierarchical modeling to observe meeting attendance and recorded actions in meeting minutes. We find that involvement decreased after the initial planning phase, but steadily increased through license development and implementation. After the regulatory mandate to consult with external stakeholders dissolved, overall attendance declined while attendance stability increased, meaning that the non‐mandatory stage involved a smaller cadre of dedicated actors. This indicates that high‐performing mandated stakeholder involvement processes rely on a constrained group of conveners to sustain interaction and have less turnover than what might be expected given existing evidence from grassroots involvement; assumptions about group dynamics based on involvement in grassroots processes may lead to improper predictions about who will participate, and how, in processes where stakeholder involvement is mandated.
