Forensic Application of Analytical Mechanics in Fatal Fall From a Height

Fatal fall from a height initiated with a swinging motion on the sagittal plane of the victim's body is examined. Method of analytical mechanics is adopted to establish the functional relations between the swinging angle of the body and the force needed to sustain the body until release, and the amount of the horizontal displacement that would occur after release. The analysis is applied to support an expert opinion presented in a criminal court in which two accused were convicted of murder for dropping a female victim from a bridge. The results indicate that it is unlikely for the body to locate as recorded by the police investigation report in the case. This study demonstrates that a straightforward mechanical analysis can be utilized to examine uncommon falling scenarios.     

我国民法典中准合同解释之罗马法因素

我国民事立法历经百余年后,准合同作为一个重要法律术语始现于我国民法典合同编中.缺乏民法学理论研究和民法典总则编的体系铺垫,形成了准合同解释的先天缺陷.但准合同存续历史悠久,罗马法赋予其生命,法典化国家的民法学理论和立法实践赋予其持续活力.我国民法典对准合同的引入,使法学理论承担起解释使命.罗马法因素是我国民法典准合同解释的重要基础,其债法体系思维、意思表示与行为效果间的关系、给付行为在判断准合同与债的其他渊源关系中的核心价值等理论是厘清准合同解释定位的重要坐标,现代法典化国家的立法经验是准合同解释的重要参考.应运用法律解释的科学方法,关注罗马法因素并结合现代社会需要和我国本土特点探究准合同解释,以实现"经由罗马法,超越罗马法"之立法效果.     

论良法的恶性循环

人们崇尚良法,期冀良法之治,却在翘首与热望中忘却了良法亦需适宜的土壤。当良法出台后,因土壤导致的“水土不服”很可能让良法之良本身遭到质疑,这是令人尴尬的一种真实。良法如果遭遇故意误读,在司法中将会陷入一种可怕的恶性循环。从这一视角解析实践中的许多案例,能使我们揭开隐于表象后的本质,同时打开索解之结。     

毒品犯罪中适用诱惑侦查的法制化研究

诱惑侦查具有传统侦查手段不可比拟的优势,在打击毒品犯罪中发挥着巨大威力。在西方许多国家,已经率先实现诱惑侦查法制化。我国诱惑侦查目前还处于实践中广泛存在但没有法律依据的尴尬境地。要实现毒品犯罪侦查中实施诱惑侦查行为的法制化,必须通过立法对诱惑侦查制度予以合法化、法制化,逐步完善诱惑侦查的约束机制和保障机制。     

试析《共产党宣言》与中国共产党纲领建设——纪念恩格斯逝世110周年

世界第一个无产阶级政党共产主义者同盟及其纲领《共产党宣言》诞生于19世纪中叶的西欧是历史的必然。《共产党宣言》关于无产阶级政党纲领的理论成为中国共产党制定纲领的理论渊源。中国共产党纲领的制定和修改经历了一个曲折的历程。党的最低纲领与最高纲领是辩证统一的,统一于建设有中国特色社会主义的伟大实践之中。

IDENTIFYING THE PSYCHOLOGICAL FACTORS THAT MEDIATE THE ASSOCIATION BETWEEN PARENTING PRACTICES AND DELINQUENCY*

Past research has largely ignored the developmental changes within the child that account for the association between parenting and risk for delinquency. We used structural equation modeling and data from a longitudinal study of several hundred African‐American families to test the contentions of various theories regarding the sociocognitive and emotional factors that mediate the impact of parental behavior on a youth's risk for delinquency. Our findings largely supported the theories. The impact of monitoring/discipline was indirect through low self‐control and acceptance of deviant norms, whereas the effect of hostility/ rejection was indirect through low self‐control, hostile view of relationships, and acceptance of deviant norms. These two dimensions of parenting were no longer related either to affiliation with deviant peers or to conduct problems once the effects of these psychological characteristics were taken into account; the impact of these parenting practices was completely mediated by these four cognitive/affective variables. Contrary to expectation, however, these psychological factors did not mediate any of the relationship between caretaker involvement in antisocial behavior and child conduct problems.     

漫画作品著作权保护中的若干疑难问题

在日本,经过二战后漫画出租书屋时代,伴随着以连载漫画为主体的少年杂志、少女杂志发行量的增大,漫画文化得以发展起来。现在,有人气的漫画在杂志上发表后,不仅被印成书,发行量高达十万乃至数百万册以上,而且还被制作成动画片,在电视节目、电影剧场中放映,此外,市场上还销售印有漫画人物图案的玩具、学习用具、食品等角色商品,这一切均产生了巨大经济效益。随之,围绕漫画的法律问题引起了人们的关注。本文翻译了三村量一先生的文章,以期对我国著作权立法、司法有所借鉴。
