从权力本源看刑事侦检关系

侦检关系是我国刑事司法程序改革面临的重要问题。检察权的本源是公诉权,侦查权是公诉权的必然发展。世界范围内的侦检关系表现出在职能分工上的相对独立性、在实际运行中的紧密合作性和在发展趋势上逐渐走向一体化等特征。我国现有的侦检关系在司法实践中存在错位现象,应从侦检督导型改革出发,以侦检一体化为目标重构我国的侦检关系。     

基础产业集团企业在投资决策中的博弈分析

我国基础产业具有明显寡头垄断的行业特点,这些产业中的集团企业在投资决策中的一些行为可以博弈论的观点进行合理解释。本文在分析这些特点的基础上,建立了一个数学模型,对我国基础产业集团企业决策的博弈过程进行了描述,并利用该模型分析了集团企业的投资行为。分析结果表明,该模型较好地反映了我国基础产业集团企业投资决策过程中的一些现象,并使这些现象得到了经济学意义上的合理解释。     

数字化和人工智能对刑事责任的扩散

数字化和人工智能在很大程度上作用于刑法中的罪责并改变了个人责任的基本概念。对于人类与机器人和人工智能系统之间的合作,要在个案中详细地审查：机器如何参与决定的作出,人类的行为空间如何发挥作用,以及个人的罪责是否被阻却或至少被极大地减轻。完全或在部分范围内让机器作出决定,会对罪责概念以及进一步对刑事责任产生许多问题,包括过失犯的预见可能性、客观归责、不当行为的可证明性等。在刑法上进行新的调整可能是有必要的,这涉及罪责、可归责性、可证明性和量刑,同时必须寻找刑法以外的其他解决方案,以持续防止数字化和人工智能系统对刑事责任的扩散。     

举证、证明、提证辨

刑事诉讼证明论中,涉及举证、证明、提证等概念。由于对这些概念的理解不同,难以取得较一致的认识。举证,重点在举,提出、拿出;证明是证实、查明,侧重于结论;提证是收集、调取及审查核对．司法机关、当事人及其他诉讼参与人在不同诉讼环节上,在这些不同的方面职权、职责、权利、义务是不同的．简言之,可用“谁主张,谁举证”,“谁结论,谁证明”,“谁审查,谁提证”的公式来概括。明确这些概念及其区别,对于深入研究刑事诉讼证明论是必要的,对完善我国刑事诉讼结构也是有益的。     

Is Tattooing a Risk Factor for Adolescents’ Criminal Behavior? Empirical Evidence from an Administrative Data Set of Juvenile Detainees in Taiwan

Juvenile crime affects not only the victims of the crime but also the delinquents’ future. How to prevent adolescent criminal behavior has become an important public policy issue. This study contributes to this interesting issue by examining the relationship between tattooing and adolescents’ criminal behavior. In particular, this study investigates whether or not having a tattoo/tattoos is connected to the incidence of various criminal activities, including: larceny, robbery, fraud, assault, drug use, and homicide. A unique sample of 973 juvenile detainees drawn from the administrative profiles in Taiwan and the coarsened exact matching method were utilized. Results show that compared to their nontattooed counterparts, tattooed juvenile detainees were significantly more likely to commit fraud, assault, drug abuse, and homicide by 3%, 13%, 9%, and 9%, respectively. In contrast, tattooing was not significantly associated with larceny or robbery. From a policy perspective, given the significant link between tattooing and criminal behavior, the presence of a tattoo in adolescents may serve as a valuable indicator regarding adolescents’ high probability of committing crimes.

Confession Governance and Verdicts in China’s Criminal Justice

The objective phenomenon of reliance on confessions is the source of many problems in the practice of criminal justice in China. Although successive amendments to the law have endeavored to improve the handling of confessions, they have been unable to resolve the dilemma of a rigid management mode, incompatible management strategies, and conflicting attitudes towards management. This paper has made a multi-dimensional reinterpretation of it from the judges’ perspective, including functional analysis, cultural interpretation and immediate considerations. It reveals that behind its functions of offering moral comfort or allowing evasion of responsibility, confession, as a medium of physical and intellectual management, has the more important function of supplementing and improving the legitimacy of criminal verdicts. The remolding of the legitimacy of criminal verdicts with the coordinated improvement of the management of confessions will change the mode of association between those who currently govern confession and those they govern and will clash with the current closed mode of criminal justice management, thereby promoting a transformation in the governance of criminal justice.     

The gender gap in pensions in Latin America

Lower female lifetime labour market participation rates, greater interruptions during their working lives, and wage gaps contribute to create gender gaps in pensions at the time of retirement. The design of social security systems may reinforce or attenuate these gaps. This article provides new evidence on gender gaps in access to pensions and in pension income in four Southern Cone countries in Latin America and analyses their evolution between 2000 and 2013, showing significant improvements in both gaps, with differential patterns by countries. The decrease in the gender gap in pension income has been particularly significant in Argentina and Brazil. In both cases, the largest increases in pension values during the period correspond to the lowest income percentiles, where women are overrepresented. The application of redistributive policies in these countries, aimed at reducing poverty and inequality but not necessarily focused on gender equity, has had positive and probably unintended consequences in terms of reduction in gender gaps in pensions.     

电子证据收集的基本方法：法律层面和技术层面的分析

Romantic Relationships and Criminal Desistance: Pathways and Processes

In dominant theories of criminal desistance, marital relationship formation is understood to be a key “turning point” away from deviant behavior. Empirical studies supporting this claim have largely focused on the positive role of marriage in men's desistance from crime, and relatively few studies have examined the role that nonmarital relationships may play in desistance. Drawing on 138 longitudinal in‐depth interviews with 22 men and women reentering society from prison, this article extends the scope of desistance research by additionally considering the significance of more fleeting and fluid relationships, and the diverse processes through which romantic relationships of all sorts are linked with criminal behaviors. We present an empirically based typology detailing six processes, grouped within three conceptual categories, through which romantic relationships had their effects. These pathways include material circumstances, social bonds and interactions, and emotional supports and stressors. We also consider gender differences in these processes. While more tenuous bonds to marginally conventional partners would seem to exert little effect, as one of the few relationships and social roles available to many former prisoners, we found that they wielded important influence, if not always in a positive direction.
