英美刑法的谋杀罪与我国故意杀人罪辨析

谋杀罪在英美刑法中既是普通法上的一种严重犯罪,同时也是制定法中的严重犯罪.我国虽然没有对谋杀罪的规定,但我国刑法中有对故意杀人罪的具体规定:故意杀人罪是指故意非法剥夺他人生命的行为.我国的故意杀人罪和英美刑法中的谋杀罪同中有异,需要对其进行比较分析.     

论我国环境刑法中严格责任的适用

现代意义上的刑法严格责任源于英美法系刑法理论,尽管仍然存在一些争议,但考虑到环境犯罪的复 杂性以及惩治环境犯罪的特殊性,认为应该在我国的环境刑事立法中引进严格责任原则,并指出这不仅符合世 界各国环境立法的发展趋势,而且在完善我国环境立法方面具有重要意义。     

刑事沉默权的应用与刑事侦查行为的改进

刑事沉默权与刑事侦查行为同属刑事侦查工作的两个方面.应用刑事沉默权对刑事侦查行为虽然具有一些消极作用,但从总体上看,是有利于提升刑事侦查行为,推动刑事侦查工作的.我们应当在刑事侦查工作中有限制地应用刑事沉默权,使刑事侦查工作既能够有力地打击犯罪,同时也能体现人文精神.     

提倡志愿者行动对预防青少年犯罪的可能性探析

组织青少年参与志愿者活动,能有效地补充家庭、学校和社会教育的不足;面向全社会推广志愿者精神,在培养青少年个人责任感和社会责任感的同时,为青少年的健康成长提供良好的社会环境.     

刑法306条实体、程序的分析与完善

简要总结了目前国内的主要观点和看法,进而从刑事实体法中"对犯罪的认识和评价、刑法的谦抑性原则、罪刑法定原则"的基本原理,并结合我国的特殊国情,多角度研讨刑法306条,提出应缩小犯罪主体、降低处罚程度、废除"引诱"所涉罪状.根据刑事诉讼法中"保障人权、控辩平衡"的基本原理,建议在刑事诉讼中引进司法审查制度,创设"非暴力犯罪的辩护人"的强制措施豁免权制度.     

未成年犯罪刑罚适用之探讨

犯罪低龄化是全球性的社会问题,如何治理未成年犯罪成为世界各国刑法理论界关注的热点。结合我国刑典的有关规定,对争议颇大的从宽处罚、缓刑、累犯、附加刑、非刑罚处理等问题,进行严肃而又积极的探讨,将有助于完善我国的未成年刑罚制度。     

抽象概念与刑法推理

抽象概念是刑法推理中的一种常用方法,其优点是具有储藏价值、简化推理等功能,但它的缺陷是未能正确反映刑法推理的真实过程、易于导致人们对刑法形成机械的形而上学的理解。正确认识抽象概念对刑法推理的影响,具有重要意义。     

A characterization of the independence - distribution - preserving covariance structure for the multivariate maximum squared - radii statistic

Necessary and sufficient conditions on the observation covariance structure and on the set of linear transformations are given for which the distribution of the multivariate maximum squared - radii statistic for detecting a single multivariate outlier is invariant from the distribution assuming the usual independence covariance structure. Thus, we extend the work of Baksalary and Puntanen (1990), who have given necessary and sufficient conditions for an independence-distribution-preserving covariance structure for Grubbs' statistic for detecting a univariate outlier. We also extend the work of Marco, Young, and Turner (1987) and Pavur and Young (1991), who have given sufficient conditions for an independence-distribution-preserving dependency structure for the multivariate squared - radii statistic.     

Monitoring correlation change in a sequence of random variables

We propose a monitoring procedure to test for the constancy of the correlation coefficient of a sequence of random variables. The idea of the method is that a historical sample is available and the goal is to monitor for changes in the correlation as new data become available. We introduce a detector which is based on the first hitting time of a CUSUM-type statistic over a suitably constructed threshold function. We derive the asymptotic distribution of the detector and show that the procedure detects a change with probability approaching unity as the length of the historical period increases. The method is illustrated by Monte Carlo experiments and the analysis of a real application with the log-returns of the Standard & Poor's 500 (S&P 500) and IBM stock assets.     

Multiple Spatio-Temporal Cluster Detection for Case Event Data: An Ordering-Based Approach

This article introduces a spatio-temporal distance which allows the extension of the spatial cluster detection methods of Demattei et al. (2007 Demattei , C. , Molinari , N. , Daures , J. P. ( 2007 ). Arbitrarily shaped multiple spatial cluster detection for case event data . Computat. Statist. Data Anal. 51 ( 8 ): 3931 – 3945 . [Google Scholar]) and Cucala (2009 Cucala , L. ( 2009 ). A flexible spatial scan test for case event data . Computat. Statist. Data Anal. 53 ( 8 ): 2843 – 2850 .[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]). A review of these methods is given before we define a spatio-temporal distance. Then this distance is used for detecting spatio-temporal clusters. These ordering-based methods are compared to the scan statistic by a simulation study. The scan procedure is more powerful but it detects fewer true positives due to its lack of flexibility. Those techniques are applied to a seismic data set. This article highlights two advantages of the ordering-based methods: their flexibility and their low computational demand.
