Persons with disabilities and the Colombian armed conflict

This article is about the armed conflict in Colombia and the situation for people with disabilities. Decades of internal conflict have created a complex situation which both gives rise to disability but also fails to take account of the many urgent needs of people with disabilities. Despite the ratification by Colombia of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, persons with disabilities are still not accorded a voice in the peace agreements. Although there is little known about the extent of disability in Colombia, it is important to understand the history of the Colombian armed conflict to see how it impacts on disability issues. We conclude by highlighting the legal instruments in Colombia which provide opportunities now to redress some of those wrongs.     

Identifying and Working with Older Male Victims of Abuse in England

SUMMARY

The abuse of men is still very much a taboo subject, so identifying older men who have been abused in childhood or adulthood can be very difficult. This paper discusses the problems in identifying older male victims by drawing on the findings of two research projects. Statistical evidence is presented regarding the victims and the abuse they have experienced. It is argued that in general resources are not readily available to facilitate disclosure or to help men through the healing process. An example of good practice is presented by discussing the work undertaken with an older man through group work.

论突破传统刑事司法局限的恢复性司法

恢复性司法弥补传统刑事司法的缺漏,从回顾性思路转向前瞻性思路,把注意力从如何惩罚或康复犯罪人转移到如何更好地恢复被害人和社区,是一种超越传统刑事司法的新解纷方式。在恢复性司法中,被害人是恢复性司法程序中的主体,具有独立的、不可取代的主体地位。刑事司法关系也不再是国家与犯罪人之间对抗的直线型联系,而形成国家、犯罪人与被害人之间互相依托的三角形关系。恢复性司法是被害人权利保护运动蓬勃发展的产物,给刑事司法改革带来社会和谐的希望。     

外迁地质灾害移民边际人格研究——以湖南省资兴市为例

本文以资兴市为例，考察外迁灾民边际人格的内涵及特征，通过建立多元回归模型分析其影响因素。研究发现，外迁灾民普遍存在边际人格，可概括为内在认同的困惑性和行为模式的被动性，表现为强依赖与不信任、低水平需求与高水平担忧、期盼融入与内在孤立、不太适应与不愿投入、强自我保护与弱雏权意识五对范畴。外迁灾民的边际人格与其年龄、文化程度、生活来源息息相关。并受社会交往、生活满意度及适应度、未来期望及信心等因素影响。     

Internet-Initiated Sexual Assault Among U.S. Adolescents Reported in Newspapers, 1996–2007

This article provides an assessment over time of the incidence of newspaper-reported Internet-initiated sexual assaults among U.S. adolescents undergoing adjudication from 1996 to 2007. Of 812 newspaper reports of adjudicated Internet-initiated sexual assault, most (79.2%) victims were female, and the median age was 14 years. The incidence rate of these reports increased over the 12-year period for females but remained steady for males. The frequency of these assaults was much less than reported for other types of sexual assaults in this age group. These estimates hopefully will assist in a greater understanding of these assaults, aid in interventions to decrease their occurrence, and guide effective policymaking that will reduce all types of sexual assault among adolescents.     

试论公安机关对被害人知情权的保护

知情权是世界各国公民享有的基本人权之一。在刑事诉讼中，被害人的知情权表现为其有权了解侦查、起诉、审判机关是否立案、诉讼进程以及自身享有何种诉讼权利的权利。公安机关是被害人参与刑事诉讼活动中首先接触的司法机关，它在保障被害人知情权方面具有重要作用。为切实维护立案侦查阶段被害人的合法权益，公安机关应当依照法律规定明确被害人知情权的范围并采取有效措施保障其权利的实现。     

论我国刑事被害人的权益保护——以恢复性司法为视角

传统刑事司法制度把对罪犯的刑事制裁视为社会正义的最终实现,同时强调对犯罪嫌疑人合法权益的保护,以期实现程序正义和实体正义的双重价值,但往往忽略了对刑事被害人的权益保护。在当前打击犯罪与保护人民同等重要的理念下,刑事被害人的权益保护问题备受关注。恢复性司法作为传统刑事司法的有益补充,对保护被害人的权益有着积极影响,如何通过恢复性司法保护刑事被害人权益也已成为刑事司法的重要命题。     

被害人认识能力的刑法意义研究

被害人的认识能力是刑法学上的一个重要问题。如果被害人不具备相应的认识能力,那么其承诺在刑法学上可能就难以成立,这在行为人与被害人存在互动关系的犯罪中表现得尤为明显。整体而言,被害人的认识能力属于构成要件的范畴。如果被害人不具备认识能力,那么,在我国刑法中涉及被害人认识能力的一系列罪名就因为不符合构成要件,而无法展开对行为人刑事责任的追究。而被害人认识能力的判断,必须结合民法等相关法律的规定才能得到正确的解决。     

"蹭网"行为的现行法规制——基于刑民法的双重视角

蹭网行为对现行法提出了新的挑战,我国尚未制定专门法律进行规制,可以对现行法进行解释,来解决蹭网行为产生的一系列法律问题.由于网络用户的不同,蹭网行为可能会产生刑法和民法问题.对于民法问题,可以通过不当得利和侵权行为来解决;刑法问题在理论上还存在一定的障碍,但是,也可以通过对盗窃罪进行解释来处罚蹭网导致合法用户网费损失较大,具有社会危害性的行为.对于蹭网造成的间接损失,也可以运用民法和刑法进行规制.
