Toward a Feminist State: What Does ‘Effective’ Prosecution of Domestic Violence Mean?

This article examines domestic violence criminal prosecutions and addresses what 'effective' prosecutorial action means in such cases. The argument elaborates on a point recently articulated by the UN Special Rapporteur on Violence against Women, which links effective prosecution of violence against women to the creation of a less patriarchal society. The article concludes that 'effective' prosecution of domestic violence means prosecution which constitutes the State as less patriarchal ceteris paribus .     

Miscarriage of Justice? Postcolonial Reflections on the ‘Trial’ of the Maharajah of Baroda, 1875

This article revisits the Baroda Incident 1875, providing a detailed examination of the Enquiry or ‹trial’ for the first time, and locating that examination in the wider socio-cultural context of the nineteenth century British Empire (especially the Raj) and the exporting of the ‹British’/English legal culture to the Empire. The implications of the establishing of British principles of justice, including the value placed upon Indian-generated evidence and testimony by the courts, are explored, in order to establish the Baroda Incident as a significant miscarriage of justice. Using historical methodologies as well as postcolonial insights, it demonstrates that the concepts of justice on which the British prided themselves were intrinsincally racialised as well as gendered, with profound modern resonances.

不能犯的可罚危险判断

不能犯,是指行为不能对刑法所保护的法益造成现实侵害的状况。不能犯应否构成犯罪,是不能犯的根本问题。在这个问题上,可能存在的将不能犯全部作为不可罚的非罪的观点与将所有的不能犯均作为犯罪的观点处于对立的两极,而这样的两极在现实中并不存在:即使是最极端的观点,也不认为将迷信犯作为犯罪合理(成罪的场合),或者将所有的非实害犯均当作非罪的理论观点与立法例合理。依据社会一般人的认识进行事前判断,同时考虑行为人的特别认识作为危险的判断标准是合适的。划分一般的未遂犯与可罚的不能犯相区别的主张,对不能犯在处罚上轻于一般未遂犯是合理的。     

The intellectual adolescence of organizational justice: You've come a long way,maybe

To highlight the advances and limitations in the study of organizational justice as reflected by the articles in this issue, the field is characterized as being in its intellectual adolescence. Following this analogy, some signs of scientific maturity are noted. Among these are (a) increased attention to the connections between organizational justice and various organizational processes, (b) expanded efforts toward conceptual refinement, and (c) greater reliance on research conducted in natural settings. At the same time, the adolescent state of the field is also marked by its intellectual awkwardness and immaturity. Indications of this include (a) the absence of guiding theory, (b) an underdeveloped research agenda, and (c) an overreliance on the use of ad hoc measurements. Based on these limitations, suggestions are made for ways of nurturing the field's development. The article concludes with an optimistic vision of tomorrow's field of organizational justice.

合作作品含义探析

我国著作权立法对合作作品的定义没有做出正面、明确的规定,导致学说和实践对合作作品的认定存在很大的分歧。应该坚持制度创新,将合作作品认定为“由数位作者付出独创性劳动、并且各自的创作意图和合理期望均指向该部以最终形式表现出来的、同一部完整的共同作品。”

论刑法立法解释

刑法立法解释应当限于以全国人大常委会名义颁布的专门解释,它应当与刑法草案说明、刑法解释性条文、立法解释性文件、立法解释性意见相区别。刑法立法解释的对象限于刑法的重要原则、基本概念和检、法两家在某些问题上形成分歧不能达成共识的情形,它作为刑法改进与刑法司法解释的中间物,其独特价值在于明确概念、澄清争议、统一司法。从完善的立场看,该种解释应注意必要、及时和规范三个方面。
