Restorative justice for juvenile offenders in China: Current practices and challenges

ABSTRACT

In recent decades, restorative justice has gained considerable recognition worldwide and has become a prominent option for diverting juveniles away from the traditional criminal justice system as well as delivering fair and just outcomes in the justice process. This paper provides an overview of how the criminal justice system operates for juvenile offenders in the People’s Republic of China (hereafter, China). Based on a sophisticated literature review of recent Chinese academic journal articles on restorative justice for juveniles, the paper presents an analysis of the characteristics and operational procedures of current practices. Deficits and potential future developments pertaining to Chinese restorative practices for delinquents are also discussed.     

The ratio bias phenomenon: fact or artifact?

The ratio bias—according to which individuals prefer to bet on probabilities expressed as a ratio of large numbers to normatively equivalent or superior probabilities expressed as a ratio of small numbers—has recently gained momentum, with researchers especially in health economics emphasizing the policy importance of the phenomenon. Although the bias has been replicated several times, some doubts remain about its economic significance. Our two experiments show that the bias disappears once order effects are excluded, and once salient and dominant incentives are provided. This holds true for both choice and valuation tasks. Also, adding context to the decision problem does not alter this finding. No ratio bias could be found in between-subject tests either, which leads us to the conclusion that the policy relevance of the phenomenon is doubtful at best.     

中国少数民族人口学特征空间分布地域性的再研究

当代人口学特征的民族性是民族形成、发展过程中环境影响的积淀,被深深地打上了历史环境的烙印,是一种“历史地域性”。教育水平以及为“边缘效应”“胁迫效应”所强化的人口空间分布离散度,是民族人口学特征的主要环境塑造力。地域性内涵包括相互关联的“地域趋异性”“民族趋同性”和“聚居地烙印”。对民族人口学特征空间分布地域性的论证,理论上来自地域性内涵,以及“地域因子综合作用原理”“离散效应”和“教育效应”;实证上表现为人口学特征的东（部）西（部）、（西）南（西）北差异,离散度和平均受教育年限的显著相关,以及聚居地分类与人口学特征综合因子聚类（东部与西部）、聚居地分类与综合因子设定分类（西南与西北）之间十分显著的地域重叠度。

试论近代中国社会救济思想

伴随着近代“西风东渐”的进程 ,西方的社会救济思想及制度开始传入中国 ,引起中国传统社会救济思想的变革。清末民国思想界从“民有”“民享”的近代意识出发 ,批判了传统“宗族救济模式”的狭隘性和“视民若子”的局限性 ,强调“救人救彻”的救济理念和“以教代养”的救济原则 ,并试图结合中西社会救济思想主张 ,构建新的社会保障体系。近代中国社会救济思想的勃兴与发展使中国传统社会救济思想发展到一个新阶段     

1927-1937年上海童工的收入与消费研究

二十世纪二三十年代,上海城市处于从传统向现代迈进的剧烈变革时期,亟需大量廉价工商业劳动力,一些家庭经济窘迫的儿童沦为童工,从事体力劳动以换取微薄的工资来赡养家庭。童工消费从属于其家庭消费,主要集中在以满足温饱为目标的食品等领域,教育和娱乐等发展性和享受性消费所占份额较少,但反映出童工日常消费中的现代取向。上海大量童工的存在以及他们的收入与消费都和这一时期上海城市从传统到现代的社会转型密切相关。
