公诉权的理论解构

国家意志、刑罚权、程序正义是决定公诉权确立和发展的根本的法理依据。在权能的实现上 ,公诉权与刑罚权互为条件 ,公诉权来源于刑罚权 ;程序正义是公诉权发展的永久的根据之一。公诉权是一种具有开放性的公权力和具有系统制约性的诉权 ,以及具有对应性的事实主张权     

RETHINKING JUVENILE STATUS OFFENSE LAWS: CONSIDERATIONS FOR CONGRESSIONAL REVIEW OF THE JUVENILE JUSTICE AND DELINQUENCY PREVENTION ACT

Families struggling with a breakdown in communication, trying to control the behavior of an unruly child, or experiencing a crisis often look for outside help. Many families, particularly those without resources to pay for private support, turn to their local status offense system. Status offenders are young people charged with behavior unique to their status as juveniles such as running away, truancy, or disobedience. In 2007, Congress will begin to consider reauthorization of the Juvenile Justice Delinquency Prevention Act (JJDPA), the federal act related to status‐offender policy. By providing an overview of recent state status‐offense legislation and case law, this article identifies issues to be addressed by Congress in reauthorizing the JJDPA.     

我国国家赔偿程序之缺失与完善

我国现行《国家赔偿法》存在许多缺陷,在实践中造成了诸多弊端。除了赔偿范围狭窄、赔偿标准太低等实体方面的原因外,赔偿程序设计不合理也是其重要方面。建议将赔偿委员会设置在人大之下,同时完善赔偿的审理程序和执行程序,改进赔偿费用的支付方式。     

弱势群体保护的社会契约分析

社会契约的“订立”旨在使人类摆脱“自然状态”进入“社会状态”;作为国家“存在原理”,社会契约主旨是解决个人、社会和国家之间的权利与义务问题,其终极关怀是人民的福祉——保障安全、自由、财富和尊严等。但这些可欲的价值的实现须符合一种正义的原则和道德要求:平等对待和惠及包括弱势群体在内的社会合作体系中的每一个立约者。平等、互惠构成弱势群体保护的社会契约基础和道德义务,也是社会契约和社会秩序的实现条件。在这一意义上,不保护弱势群体,社会契约目的就不能达到,政府合法性就被质疑。弱势群体保护需要对社会契约进行动态完善——创新保护模式、着力后续调整、突出经济权利、建立诉讼制衡机制、高扬人本立约观。     

对作为行政诉讼“通道”的功能性概念的再认识

鉴于目前学界对具体行政行为概念的诸多歧义 ,有必要对这一作为行政诉讼“通道”的功能性概念重新命名。借鉴德国的行政处分概念 ,可将“具体行政行为”称为“行政处理决定”或“行政处理行为” ,以完善我国的行政诉讼制度     

走共同富裕的道路是中国不对世界构成威胁的根本保证

社会主义按其本质来说是一种确保社会公正与平等的社会制度,而中国目前的社会主义制度,即当前中国特色的社会主义,正是一个以消除两极分化,消灭剥削,共同富裕,维护社会公正为价值目标的社会,人们不用担心在这里会出现严重的社会动乱,更不必担心中国会对世界构成威胁。     

民事诉讼举证责任倒置刍议

举证责任倒置是举证责任分配的一个重要内容 ,2 0 0 1年 1 2月最高人民法院《关于民事诉讼证据的若干规定》(以下简称《规定》)第 4条也被认为是关于举证责任倒置的较为完善的条款 ,但对于什么是举证责任倒置 ,举证责任倒置与举证责任转移有何区分 ,《规定》第 4条作为规定举证责任倒置的条款是否还有缺陷等问题 ,学界似乎少有关注 ,不少问题是悬而未决的     

论江泽民新安全观的辩证思维及实践问题

江泽民提出的新安全观 ,从背景看是对冷战思维的否定 ,从内容看是对传统安全观的发展 ,从结构看是辩证统一的有机整体 ,从实践看它不仅符合中国国家安全利益 ,也符合世界各国国家安全利益 ,反映了冷战后世界发展的大趋势。特别是在霸权主义有新的表现、恐怖主义危害上升、影响和平与发展的不确定因素在增加的情况下 ,江泽民新安全观越来越受到大多数国家的赞赏和欢迎。     

Increasing Evidence-Based Programs in Criminal and Juvenile Justice: A Report from the Front Line

For the past 5 years in the United States, there has been an increased emphasis on evidence-based programs, and, in particular, the promotion of experimental designs as the highest standard of evidence. This interest has been fueled by the Federal government's demand for accountability that links budget allocation with program performance. The National Institute of Justice, the research, development and evaluation agency within the Office of Programs in the U.S. Department of Justice is undertaking a number of efforts to improve the quality of evaluation research and address the need for evidence-based programs. These efforts have focused on making improvements upfront in the grant selection process so that well-designed evaluations will be undertaken and in the management and monitoring of ongoing evaluation research grants so that implementation and design issues can be identified and addressed. Evaluability assessments is a key strategy that NIJ is relying on increasingly to identify programs that have a high likelihood of being successfully evaluated. Whether these efforts will lead to an overall increase in the rigor of NIJ-supported evaluations remains unanswered at this time. The views expressed are those of the authors and not necessarily those of The National Academies or the National Institute of Justice.     

试论破坏选举罪适用范围之扩展

民主选举是社会主义民主的重要体现和保障，现实中破坏选举的行为层出不穷。而破坏选举罪适用范围上过于狭窄，致使不少严重危害行为置于刑法的射程之外。因此，应将破坏选举罪适用范围扩展到相当范围的政治性选举活动，具体到我国，应包涵基层群众自治组织选举、中国共产党党内选举、人民政治协商会议选举、各级人大代表法律议案表决活动等国家政治生活中重要的选举。
