公安信访工作长效机制建设研究

公安信访工作是构建和谐社会的一项基础性工作。近年来公安信访工作长效机制建设取得许多创新，但同时也存在一些不容忽视的问题。当前应科学把握公安信访工作长效机制的构成，有针对性地解决公安信访工作长效机制建设中存在的问题，着力推进公安信访工作长效机制的信息化、法治化建设。     

Transformation: the Progression of Immigration Petitions for Transgender Spouses

U.S. citizens who marry foreign nationals may petition for their spouses so that the couple can reside permanently together in the United States. The guidelines set forth in the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services Adjudicator's Field Manual provide guidance to immigration officials for determining whether to grant or deny spousal petitions. Previously, the Adjudicator's Field Manual imposed a requirement that transgender individuals undergo costly and dangerous sex reassignment surgery in order to qualify as married for the purposes of a spousal petition. However, revisions to the Adjudicator's Field Manual issued in April 2012 provide transgender binational couples the opportunity to remain together in the United States without forcing one partner to undergo sex reassignment surgery. Given the history of discrimination against transgender individuals under U.S. immigration law, these revisions are a significant step in equality for transgender couples. Although these revisions provide many transgender binational couples with a means to remain together in the United States, this Note proposes that, to continue on the path toward equality for transgender couples, special guidelines should not be applied to marriages involving transgender partners if their marriage is deemed a valid heterosexual marriage in the state where solemnized. The goals of U.S. immigration law and compliance with the federal definition of marriage can be achieved without implementing individualized guidelines for transgender binational couples.

Key Points for the Family Court Community:
• Transgender spouses of a binational couple should not be subjected to additional guidelines when submitting spousal petitions that, if granted, would afford the couple the opportunity to reside together in the United States
• Transgender individuals should not be subjected to disparate treatment solely because the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services seeks to enforce discriminatory provisions of the Defense of Marriage Act
• A marriage should be recognized by immigration law if it is a valid marriage under the law of the state where the marriage was celebrated
• In order to achieve U.S. immigration law's mission of family unification, nontraditional couples should be afforded the same opportunity to remain together in the United States without additional scrutiny

Gender in the Context of Same‐Sex Divorce and Relationship Dissolution

This article identifies ways that judges, lawyers, researchers, and policy makers may attend to the role of gender and gender dynamics facing same‐sex couples upon divorce or other relationship dissolution. When same‐sex couples marry, the legal system and society at large may project conceptions of gender onto same‐sex couples, often in a manner that conflicts with couples' intentions and practices. Gender and gender dynamics may affect the bases for dissolution, the financial aspects of dissolution, and the determination of child custody. The article also suggests directions for future research on the impact of gender on the dissolution of same‐sex relationships.     

危机公关从信访做起

当前我国正处于社会转型期,各种社会矛盾交织,从公安工作实践来看,各类涉法涉诉信访凸显,信访所引发的矛盾与冲突成为警察公关危机最集中的表现。公安机关要以涉法涉诉信访为突破口,运用危机公关的策略和方法,将危机消灭在萌芽状态。为此,公安机关要从源头上预防和减少危机的发生;建立信访危机预警机制;妥善应对与处置各类危机。     

农民工政治参与的程序主义建制化研究——从农民工讨薪事件谈起

农民工讨薪事件频发,特别是在年关岁末,作为社会弱势群体在诉求维护其经济利益权利过程中往往陷入一种无序的社会行为。本文运用哈贝马斯程序主义的模式,构建基于法治目标的农民工维权行为的程序主义模式,一方面,从程序主义民主模式中获取农民工与劳动单位之间合理及合法的规章制度达成共识;另一方面,从农民工自身出发,通过学习提高自身文化水平,进而促进构建合理合法实现自我维权意识的途径。     

一起因信息公开引发的行政复议案件的思考

一次看似平常的换发药师证，由于相关行政机关工作人员的疏忽，致使错误不断叠加，最终导致管理相对人长达近6年时间的上访及申请行政复议，严重影响了卫生行政部门的正常工作。纵观本案，有许多值得反思之处。在以后工作当中，卫生行政部门应当完善信息公开工作制度，严格按照法定程序和方式公开政府相关信息。处置上访事件时，严格依法办事，维护法律尊严。机构分立及合并之时要做好相关资料的交接和保存。切实提高行政机关工作人员的业务素质，完善惩戒机制等方面工作。     

由上访问题引发的国家义务问题思考

上访问题是学术界、实务界重点关注的问题之一,在实践过程中,上访问题甚至会影响到国家机关的正常工作日程,尤其是重要的节假日、会议期间,上访问题无论是给人民群众还是国家机关都带来了比较大的困扰,国家花费了比较大的人力、物力去解决上访问题,但是目前看来效果不是很好,如何解决上访问题,需要学界、实务界共同思考.     

涉诉信访终结机制研究

涉诉信访制度是我国多元化解纷机制的重要组成部分,由于在实践中所存在的问题,有必要对其进行完整的制度构建。涉诉信访的终结机制作为打开涉诉信访制度的突破口,亟须系统化、理论化的构建。各级法院在实践中也总结出了不同的终结机制,为整个制度的整合与完整提供了实践支持。     

论第三者侵犯配偶权的法律责任

第三者破坏他人的婚姻家庭,影响社会的和谐稳定.但是目前我国法律仅有关于第三者刑事责任的规定,且不尽完善,而尚无关于第三者侵犯配偶权的民事责任和行政责任的规定.第三者的行为符合一般侵权行为的构成要件,应当承担侵权的民事责任.第三者与有配偶者的姘居行为具有严重的社会危害性,应当以破坏婚姻罪论处.此外,第三者与有配偶者的通奸行为扰乱了社会治安秩序,应当承担行政责任.建议我国立法机关尽快修订相关法律,明确规定第三者侵犯配偶权的民事责任和行政责任,完善第三者的刑事责任.
