刑事和解制度在我国的施行初探

恢复性司法最大限度地恢复被害人的身心和财产状况、犯罪行为对社会造成的损害和犯罪人的守法生活。刑事和解是恢复性司法的一项有益探索——用双方平等协商的方式解决轻微刑事案件,避免了激烈的冲突,使双方的权益得到更好的保障。这符合以人为本、和谐有序的刑事司法理念和现实需要,也是构建和谐社会的必然要求。文中将从刑事和解在我国的实践、意义、障碍、制度探索等几个方面就此做一粗浅分析。     

浅析刑事和解制度在我国侦查阶段的应用

刑事和解制度作为刑事诉讼程序分流的重要途径,而刑事分流的一般结果都是进行诉讼的和解。在我国和谐社会的大背景下,显然已有的诉讼程序已经不满足诉讼效率与公正的要求,为维护诉讼的效率与公正,有必要在侦查阶段设立刑事和解制度。在侦查阶段设立刑事和解制度对提高诉讼效率,保障人权具有一定的帮助。文中就侦查阶段的刑事和解制度进行阐述,探寻其存在的必要性。     

关于发展我国未成年人刑事司法制度的法律构想

我国未成年人刑事司法制度自创建以来,在预防减少未成年人违法犯罪方面虽发挥了重要作用,但仍存在许多缺陷,需要继续予以完善优化.从法律的角度来看,就是树立现代司法理念,指导司法制度完善,坚持专业化建设的方向,走多样性发展的途径,加快未成年人刑事立法,构建未成年人法律体系,大力强化社会责任意识,实行严格专业任职资格,从而延伸未成年人刑事司法触角,提高未成年人刑事司法效能.     

医疗过失刑事案件之比较

医疗活动由于其本身所具有的向善性、专业性、高风险性,因此追完医务人员的刑事责任应当遵循刑法的谦抑性精神,但医务人员绝不能因为医疗职业的特殊性而享有“刑事豁免权”。医疗刑事案件虽然不多,但判决的影响层面非常大,因此,科学的审判对于确保医疗刑事案件裁判的公正非常重要。     

农村未成年人刑事司法维权探究

我国农村庞大的未成年人群、农村未成年人犯罪的特殊性以及农村未成年人刑事司法维权中遇到的各种现实难题,决定了加强和完善农村未成年人刑事司法维权工作的必要性、迫切性和重要性。本文以浙江省象山县人民法院（以下简称“象山法院”）未成年人刑事审判实践为例,在具体阐析了农村未成年人犯罪的特殊性以及农村未成年人刑事司法维权中存在的现实难题后,从科学理念、审判程序和模式、相关制度和规定等方面,对加强和完善农村未成年人刑事司法维权工作进行了实证研究,并据此提出了一些笔者认为可行的具体建议。     

试论未成年人年龄认定存在的问题及对策

本文分析了当前刑事司法中在认定未成年犯罪嫌疑人、被告人年龄方面存在的主要问题,并就如何解决这些问题提出了对策和建议。     

对我国刑事和解有关问题的思考

在我国建设社会主义法治国家的进程中,刑事和解制度日益受到学理界的关注。在我国2013年正式实施的新《刑事诉讼法》规定了刑事和解的适用范围、适用条件、审查责任和处理原则,这是我国刑事法律立法的重要进步。本文分析了刑事和解的概念和特征,阐述了刑事和解制度的功能,并就完善我国的刑事和解制度提出几点建议。     

我国刑事和解制度的完善

2012年修订的《刑事诉讼法》第一次从法律上规定了刑事和解制度。但刑事和解的司法实践早已经展开并在实践中取得良好的社会效果。但刑事和解制度仍存在许多不足。需要采取措施进行进一步的完善。     

浅析未成年犯罪嫌疑人品格证据之运用

品格证据制度是证据法的重要内容之一,它能比较全面的反映未成年犯罪嫌疑人的成长经历、家庭因素和社会环境等方面的内容,对他们的教育、感化和挽救工作起着重要作用。本文从品格证据的概念出发,通过探析我国品格证据的不足,提出完善我国品格证据制度的证据的建议。     

香港未成年人刑事和解制度:康和服务

警司警诫是我国香港地区特有的一种刑罚方式,当一名未满18岁的少年因初次犯案被拘捕,而警方有足够证据对该少年作出起诉时,由一名警司或警司以上职级的警务人员行使酌情权,向该少年施行警诫,而无须交由少年法庭审理.这种刑罚方式的好处在于让犯事的少年无需负上因为刑事罪行而留有案底的污点.当然,为加强对接受警司警诫的少年犯事者的帮助,使其不再因为朋辈压力或环境因素再次走上歧途,警方一般会与社会福利机构的社工进行多方面的合作.     

犯罪流浪儿童的司法保护

目前我国流浪儿童的数量不断上升,流浪儿童犯罪也成为社会普遍现象.这些犯罪的流浪儿童在进入司法程序之后应该得到有效的保护,这在联合国立法中已有规定,并且在世界上不少国家已经成功实践,然而目前我国针对犯罪流浪儿童的司法保护制度存在明显不足,为此本文对联合国相关立法和相关国家有关做法进行了初步整理和探讨,希望借他山之石,促进我国犯罪流浪儿童司法保护制度的完善.     

The Effect of Social Class on the Adjudication of Criminal Cases: Class-linked Behavior Tendencies,Common Sense,and the Interpretive Procedures of Court-appointed Defense Attorneys

This article addresses some important issues concerning the effect of social class on criminal case outcomes. Although the findings reported here support Donald Black's (1989) argument that a defendant's relative social class effects the quantity of law applied to a criminal case, they also indicate that this influence occurs through actors' interpretive procedures. Specifically, one group of court-appointed defense attorneys link behavior tendencies to court actors characterized as different social class types. These behavior tendencies are expressed through the grammar and rhetoric of “common sense”—a knowledge system which is evoked throughout all types of judicial proceedings. The attorneys' expectations of court actors shape their behavior such that lower-class defendants are likely to endure a greater quantity of law. The article concludes with some suggestions on how researchers might reconsider studying the effect of social class on criminal case outcomes.     

国家为未成年人生存权“买单”

青少年是未来社会的主人,今天青少年成长中打下的烙印,将直接影响到未来社会的和谐。生存权是未成年人权利中最基础的权利,生存权如果不能保障,其他的权利都是空话。成长中因生存的艰难,过早地感受人间的冷暖,直接影响其心理的成长,而这心理的积淀又无不影响着未来社会的安全、风气和人情。国家为未成年人生存权“买单”,不但对保护青少年成长中的身心健康有着极其重要的意义,也将直接促进社会长久的和谐。

The Practice and Efficacy of Restorative Justice

SUMMARY

Beginning with an exploration of the importance of understanding the power of questions, this paper examines the question, “Does it work?” regarding restorative justice as a philosophy and a set of practices based on that philosophy. The paper identifies problems in the dominant retributive philosophical paradigm for responding to crime that the philosophy of restorative justice resolves. The author describes the practices of restorative justice in criminal justice as well as other contexts and presents evidence of effectiveness in achieving restorative outcomes. The paper discusses challenges and limitations in restorative practices.     

Child Sexual Abuse Cases: Implementing a Specialist Judicial List

The damage done to children who are subjected to sexual abuse and the often lengthy delays in the resolution of these matters by the child welfare and legal systems is well documented. With this in mind, the Children's Court in Victoria established for 12 months in 2013 a pilot specialised judicial list (the “D” List) as an intensive case-management approach to more effectively respond to child sexual abuse concerns. The evaluation of the pilot aimed both to review the effectiveness of the list in terms of court functioning, and to provide information about the nature of such cases coming to court, the ages and family circumstances of subject children, decisions made and factors associated with these decisions, and the challenges related to management of and decision-making about such cases. The success of the specialist list has seen it extended to regional courts, because it is a more effective approach to managing and deciding this complex class of cases.     

The Restorative Power of Emotions in Child Protection Services

The paper examines the significance of our emotional life for validation, enrichment and guidance in everyday behavior. Child protection services (CPS) workers need to understand how emotions affect family dynamics and, in particular, parental behavior as a basis for their work with families. Moreover, in order for CPS workers to be aware of, and professionally responsive to, the importance of a family's emotions requires that they are comfortable with their own feelings. This means that they need to work in CPS agencies which recognize and support this practice orientation. The paper also addresses how the agency can influence CPS workers to become more knowledgeable and attuned to, not only the families' emotional lives, but also to their own.     

未成年人犯罪案件刑事附带民事诉讼若干问题探析——以我国新《刑事诉讼法》的相关规定为中心

2012年修改的我国《刑事诉讼法》实施后,未成年人犯罪案件刑事附带民事诉讼中可能存在“合适成年人”无法作为民事诉讼法定代理人以维护有关未成年人民事权益、适用“当事人和解的公诉案件诉讼程序”时将被告人赔偿与否作为量刑情节而造成对被告人不公、适用“简易程序”时法官施压调解而干预阻碍被告人行使民事诉讼权利、审判人员能否兼备审理刑事案件与民事案件的专业素养等问题。为了在发挥刑事附带民事诉讼制度优点的同时一定程度上控制其缺陷所造成的不利影响,司法解释应规定在未成年人犯罪案件中,刑事附带民事诉讼制度不适用于刑事附带民事诉讼的民事部分标的金额较大的情形、被告人可能被判处较重刑罚的情形、刑事附带民事诉讼的刑事部分与民事部分审级不一致的情形、案件审理时间较长的情形。     

The Creation of Criminal Russia

A sentence of exile was a regular feature of the Russian revolutionary’s underground career. In order to survive this punishment and continue their struggle against Tsarism, revolutionaries relied on help from their fellow exiles, their party, the Political Red Cross and, often, their families. Historians have rarely acknowledged the role of kin in supporting the revolutionary movement and very few studies have noted the attempts by families to mitigate the worst aspects of a sentence of exile. This article explores the ways in which spouses and siblings, parents and children obtained concessions from the Tsarist authorities regarding their loved ones’ sentences of exile, helped off-set the poverty to which many exiles were reduced, and, above all, combated the sense of loneliness and depression to which those in exile were exposed. This article argues that such familial support had a collective and positive impact on revolutionaries’ experience of exile. More broadly it provides an illuminating case study of the blurred space between public and private which the revolutionary occupied and highlights the way in which the movement depended on help from sympathizers and family members in order to function effectively on a daily basis.     

Shame,Realisation and Restitution: The Ethics of Restorative Practice

In this article, I want to highlight the ethics of restorative practice in therapeutic intervention with men who have abused family members. The term restorative action is commonly evoked in the aftermath of abuse, especially in the context of attempts to re‐establish respectful relationships between family members. I will critique popular ideas concerning remorse, forgiveness, pardoning and reconciliation, and pose possibilities for ethical practices of restorative action.
