釜底抽薪:韩国现代化中的后期反腐败--韩国现代化进程中反腐败问题研究之二

20世纪80年代末以后,韩国的反腐败转入可以概括为"釜底抽薪"的阶段.这一阶段的反腐败措施是:把严惩与法制建设相结合;分析腐败滋生的根源和条件,从惩治为主到预防为主;推进民主化进程和行政管理体制改革以遏制腐败;建立起政府组织、民间组织和国际组织相结合的反腐败网络.从而有效地遏制住了腐败的泛滥,保证了韩国社会、政治、经济、文化的继续发展.     

Therapeutic jurisprudence and mental health tribunals: changing patterns of demand and its impact

For decades the mental health system has been ‘in crisis,’ with too little funding, too much demand and fragmented services. In England and Wales, decisions made concerning the care and treatment of those suffering from a mental disorder is governed by the Mental Health Act 1983 (as amended) (MHA 1983). Detention under the legislation is fraught with conflict; patient and clinical views are often at odds. Mental health tribunals enable patients to seek a review of their case and the legality of their detention. This paper argues that with the increased use of formal detention under the MHA 1983, the caseloads of mental health tribunals have similarly risen. Whether it is possible to advance therapeutic benefit to psychiatric patients attending tribunals is open to question. While mental health tribunals have a role to play in generating a positive psychological impact on an applicant, there is a risk that time and resource pressures may inhibit the adoption of a therapeutic approach. This paper considers the key drivers that are currently pushing detention rates up, the impact this is having on mental health tribunal caseloads and whether it is possible to bring therapeutic jurisprudence to the patient.     

REVISITING JUVENILE WAIVER: INTEGRATING THE INCAPACITATION EXPERIENCE*

More than 20 years after an expansion of juvenile transfer policies, questions remain regarding the specific deterrent effect of juvenile waiver given the singular focus on the court of jurisdiction and neglect of other critical aspects of the provision, such as the incapacitation experience. Prior research has also not been focused on identifying the mediating mechanisms that produce criminogenic, null, or deterrent effects. We use data from the Pathways to Desistance Study, propensity score methodology, and mediational analyses to examine how and why the waiver‐incapacitation experience is related to recidivism rates during emerging adulthood. We find that the prior focus on a binary “waiver effect” is potentially misleading as it masks meaningful variation. Furthermore, we find that the path to increased recidivism in emerging adulthood is indirect and we identify stymied educational attainment as a mediator. Our discussion is focused on the criminogenic effects of incapacitation for juveniles and its implications for juvenile transfer research. The discussion also calls for future research to explore treatment heterogeneity further.

Dynamics of water reallocation and cost implications in the transboundary setting of Ferghana Province

While in the international literature water sharing in the Syr Darya Basin per past agreements is widely portrayed as most benefiting Uzbekistan, here the dynamics of water allocation within small transboundary tributaries in Ferghana Province show Uzbekistan as benefiting least. The case study highlights that water allocation for Uzbekistan within the tributaries has decreased over the years. Uzbekistan's approach to compensate for the reduced allocations by means of other water sources has had large long-term cost implications for irrigated agriculture as well as the irrigation bureaucracy. This article contributes to the international debate on benefit sharing in transboundary rivers. The article highlights that costs should be incorporated into the benefit-sharing approach, and therefore the focus on benefit sharing alone is misguiding riparian states. Furthermore, the article raises the need to reevaluate benefits, since perceptions of potential benefits change over time.     

Cheaper,better, and more accountable? Twenty‐five years of prisons privatisation in Victoria

Twenty‐five years after the Kennett government began privatising prisons, Victoria has the world's highest proportion of prisoners in private prisons. When the privatisation project began, it was confidently expected that privately managed prisons would be cheaper, better, and more accountable than traditional public sector provision. This paper examines whether those anticipated benefits have been realised. In doing so, we assess system‐wide operating costs, specific measures of performance, and accountability of the prison system between 1992 and 2017. Using publicly available data, we conclude temporary lower costs occurred but have not been sustained. Similarly, performance improvements are mixed, and enhanced accountability is contested. Although the performance information now available on Victoria's prisons is superior to what was available in the pre‐privatisation era, successive Victorian governments have also overseen arrangements that severely curtail dissemination of such data. This has restricted the capacity of Parliament and the public not only to hold government to account for the operations of the prison system, but also to evaluate the efficacy and impact of the prisons privatisation project. We conclude a more definitive assessment will only be possible when current limitations on accessing performance and other data are lifted enabling greater public scrutiny of Victoria's prison system.     

经济犯罪的经济分析

本文用经济分析的理论和方法 ,对经济犯罪进行了分析 ,认为 :经济犯罪相对于传统犯罪 ,犯罪人一般都是以谋取非法利益或者以非法占有他人财产为目的 ,犯罪人更关注犯罪的成本与收益 ,因此通过提高经济犯罪的犯罪成本来防范经济犯罪的发生不失为一种良策。提高经济犯罪的犯罪成本 ,可采取一系列措施 ,本文仅从经济制度建设、立法、司法的角度寻求提高犯罪成本的途径和措施 ,包括 :加强制度建设 ,增大犯罪直接成本 ;提高司法效率 ,直接增大犯罪惩罚成本 ;严密法网 ,完善刑罚 ,间接增加犯罪的惩罚成本。     

论民事检察监督的几个理论问题

民事检察监督的目的是为了维护司法公正、司法权威和法制统一.以错案无法界定、审判权独立排斥监督、诉讼公正不容检察院参与、尊重当事人处分权原则以及节省诉讼成本为由,主张限制甚至取消中国民事检察制度的观点,在理论上是站不住脚的,在实践上是极其有害的.     

刑罚与赔偿互易之博弈论衡

刑罚与赔偿互易是指民事责任与刑事责任的相互转化,其本质是国家、被害人与罪犯的博弈：犯罪人在满足被害人求偿愿望的同时,获得从宽处罚的机会,国家也因此节约了行刑资源。要使得这种博弈实现利益最大化,应当明确这场博弈中的利害关系主体,并明确这些主体的利益需求,将其设计成类似于合同订立的＂要约与承诺＂模式。     

外汇按金交易中介行为入罪化研究——以非法经营罪为视角

外汇按金交易违反的规定不属于非法经营罪中违反国家规定的范围,且其中的中介行为不属于非法经营行为,而只是一种帮助行为。这种帮助行为依据刑法规定和共犯从属性认定其是犯罪存在阻碍,其本身属性及刑法谦抑性决定了刑法对外汇按金交易中介行为介入没有必要。
