论美国成年人公共监护与社会机构监护制度

美国成年人监护制度的设计对欠缺行为能力成年人的保护曾一直停滞于家庭或亲属自治的单一理念,国家公权力没有予以适当的介入,社会没有及时的参与。上世纪60年代以来,随着以社会为本位的福利国家的兴起,国家与社会介入私法以保护弱者实现实质正义的趋势日益显著,美国成年人监护制度在公权力的不断强化和干预下,逐渐成为社会法的组成部分,对我国的成年人监护制度具有重要的借鉴意义。     

民国时期弱势群体的法律保护

弱势群体是一个社会当中相对脆弱的群体。在民国社会特定的背景之下，灾荒逃民、战乱流民、失业游民及老幼病残等人构成了民国社会的弱势群体，他们的生存状态堪忧，严重影响了当时的社会稳定。对此，民国政府作出了必的回应，采取措施，开展立法，建立机构，与社会民众一道共同推进弱势群体保护事业，确保社会稳定发展。民国政府在开展弱势群体保护的过程中，表现出保护对象的广泛性、救济措施的主动性、政府民间的合力性等特色，值得当下的我们进一步考察和分析。     

试论弱势群体与社会公正

当今社会,弱势群体问题已引起社会各界的广为关注,但人们在对弱势群体的认识上还缺乏一种社会公正的理念,致使在处理和对待有关弱势群体的问题上有失公允。社会公正应首先体现在社会权利的平等上,其次要处理好公平与效率的关系,最后要解决的是起点公平和机会均等。     

Responding to the Harassment and Abuse of Older People in the Private Rented Sector: Legal and Social Perspectives

Independent living, and hence active ageing, is seen by some governments as being supported through enabling and encouraging older people to live in mainstream housing. However, this emphasis upon ‘staying put’ and ‘ageing in place’ needs to recognise the major housing difficulties that are faced by some older people.

This paper presents findings from an exploratory study, funded by Help the Aged, of the harassment and abuse of older people within the private rented sector. Examples of the wide range of arguments, disputes and conflicts with landlords and other residents will be provided. The second half of the paper considers the legal remedies that might be available for tackling some of these problems and the present obstacles to their use. Finally, legal remedies will be compared with more social policy based approaches which draw upon the framework relating to the protection of vulnerable adults.

对我国转型期弱势群体利益表达现状的成因分析

在我国目前的转型期,弱势群体在利益表达上呈现出利益表达渠道众多与表达的低效化、利益表达内容的合理性与利益表达方式的非理性、利益表达的客观必要性与利益表达主体的不成熟性、利益表达的共同性与利益表达的分散性等特点,造成这一现状的原因可分为主观和客观两方面。主观原因是弱势群体自身在社会经济地位,教育文化水平,受传统意识影响方面有其局限性。客观原因有利益表达机制不完善和社会团体发展有制度性障碍两大方面。

Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups Act 2006: the implications for employers in educational settings

Vetting those who work with children and vulnerable adults is an emotive topic and one which can prove a challenging area for employers. The legitimate interest that parents, carers and employers have in screening those charged with the care of others can be in direct conflict with the most fundamental principles of economic freedom and employees’ human rights. The desire to balance these conflicting objectives is at the heart of the Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups Act 2006, which introduces what is being heralded as the most inclusive and comprehensive vetting and barring system to date. The changes dramatically widen the scope of workers who are subject to vetting and barring processes, covering employees, volunteers and contractors in the education, care and health industries, and affecting some 11.3 million people in the UK. This new scheme is of particular relevance and importance to schools and other educational institutions, who will be directly affected by the changes. This article will examine the practical employment implications of the new regime and the new obligations that the Vetting and Barring Scheme creates for both employers and employees.
