RACIAL ANIMOSITY AND INTERRACIAL CRIME*

The primary objective of this study is to determine the effect of a victim's race on the likelihood of him or her being seriously injured during the commission of an interracial crime. We also assess the probability of a homicide occurring during an interracial crime. A multilevel city analysis shows that black offenders are no more apt than white offenders to injure their victims seriously during an interracial robbery or rape. A black offender also does not have a greater proclivity to kill his or her victim during the commission of an interracial crime. Some evidence suggests that white victims are more likely than black victims to suffer serious physical harm during an aggravated assault. Results also reveal that contextual factors related to racial animosity, such as residential segregation, white‐to‐black economic inequality, and black‐to‐white unemployment, fail to have any moderating effect on either the severity of victim injury or the likelihood of a homicide occurring during an interracial crime. Overall, the results generated in this study tend to cast doubt on the validity of racial animosity theory. Our findings also lead us to question the veracity of the oftenmade claim that black‐on‐white crimes are punished more severely because these types of offenses are somehow more heinous in circumstance. At least in regard to serious victim injury and victim death, black‐on‐white crime is no more violent than white‐on‐black crime.     

Recuperative memory in Romanian post-Communist society

This paper explores the idea of “recuperative memory” with respect to the process of coming to terms with the past after the fall of the Romanian Communist regime in 1989. Its method is to examine the mechanisms used by recuperative memory in order to re-appropriate the past and emphasize the inherently mediated and multifaceted nature of this process. Using various examples from oral testimonies, autobiographical writings, literary works, and cinema, the paper argues that the role of recuperative memory is not only to facilitate the process of coming to terms with the past, but also to offer the material necessary to sustain a viable politics of memory. This entails providing a platform for the intergenerational transmission of memory and knowledge for those who did not live under the Communist regime, filling in this way the intergenerational gap, despite the lack of political class engagement.

治安调解战术策略探析

随着社会主义市场经济的深入发展,社会成员之间利益格局的重新调整,各类社会矛盾纠纷频繁发生,错综复杂,已成为影响基层社会稳定的重要因素。调解纠纷是公安机关日常社会管理中的一项重要工作,涉及社区警务、治安管理、“110”接处警和不安定因素等多项公安日常工作。公安机关所承担的行政调解,对于有效维护社会政治和治安秩序的稳定,预防犯罪和群体性事件的发生具有深远的意义。公安民警在日常调解纠纷的工作中,只有坚持原则,审时度势,灵活而合理地运用各种战术策略,才能掌握主动,收取事半功倍的实际效果。     

激情犯的概念及立法问题

激情犯,又称为情感犯,在大陆法系刑法和英美法系刑法中,都有关于激情犯的规定。然而我国当前还没有正式关于激情犯的刑事立法与司法解释,我国刑法著作中对此虽有提及,但缺乏系统的论述。在刑事立法和司法实践中承认激情犯的存在,是理论上的必然和实践上的需要。     

民事诉讼调解结案率实证研究

实证研究发现,近年来无论一审、二审还是再审调解结案率都呈现曲折增长而非持续增长态势。无论一审、二审还是再审抑或婚姻家庭类案件、合同类案件还是权属侵权类案件,调解结案率一般都未超过60%。而且总体上看,一审调解结案率高于二审和再审,再审调解结案率高于二审,婚姻家庭类案件调解结案率高于合同类案件,合同类案件高于权属侵权类案件。当下中国法院调解结案率呈现如此面相,既是调解政策驱动、各法院领导重视程度不同所致,也有个案差异、案件性质不同等原因。这种"运动性"调解的负面效应在司法实践中越发凸显,未来中国应在深刻反思基础上理性对待和设计法院调解制度。

论拐卖妇女罪中被害人承诺的刑法意义

法律只保护值得保护之权利,并且保护权利人人格自由权的价值远远高于干涉被放弃的权利的价值。被害人自愿放弃的利益应当排除在刑法的保护范围之外,在被害人对其能够自由处分的法益作出承诺放弃之时,应当阻却犯罪的成立。拐卖妇女罪所保护的法益是妇女的人身自由权与人格尊严权,所以在被害妇女自愿被拐卖以及拐卖过程中同意发生性行为等情形之下,行为人不应当构成拐卖妇女罪,更不能对其适用奸淫妇女的加重情节。     

The Intensification and Bifurcation of Surveillance in British Criminal Justice Policy

This paper explores the relevance and applicability of recent theoretical developments in surveillance studies in the context of contemporary British criminal justice policy. It will be argued that surveillance now occupies a privileged position in official policy. In a raft of new policy initiatives undertaken either as part the general project to modernise the criminal justice system or in response to particular crises, the surveillant solution occupies the central stage. Thus, whether it be in response to anxieties over sex offenders, failures of social services in protecting children at risk, or the management of the prison population, for example, the policy response has been to increase the surveillance capacity of the state. In particular, in line with the new penology thesis we are witnessing an expansion of the generalised surveillance capacity, in relation to all citizens, which may be characterised as passive and reactive. Simultaneously, vestiges of the old criminology remain as an officially designated ‘hard core’ of persistent or problematic offenders subject to the full panoply of surveillance techniques, which are proactive, extensive and intrusive. Thus, we are witnessing both an intensification and a bifurcation of surveillance practice. This paper was prepared for the European Journal on Criminal Policy and Research special edition on Fear vs. Freedom post 9/11-The European Perspective.
