测谎结论的证据资格及其规范

现行三大诉讼法均未明确规定将测谎结论作为证据种类单列,诉讼法学界对此也存有争议。首先通过对否定测谎结论作为证据的观点进行反证分析后认为:测谎结论具有证据的客观真实性和关联性,可作为诉讼证据使用;再将测谎结论与司法精神病鉴定进行对比分析后认为,测谎结论可归于证据种类中鉴定意见一类。最后,建议对测谎技术作如下规范:一是制定行业标准,严格规范测谎员的资格认证;二是加强对测谎鉴定机构的监管。

Introducing audio-vision into evidence: the impact of audio recordings and their technical limitations in police use of force cases

ABSTRACT

This article explores the technical limitations of audio recordings and how those limitations impact the reliability of sound evidence in police use of force cases. In audiovisual recordings, audio is often assumed neutral, redundant or to have the same limitations as its visual counterpart. Bringing together film theorist Michel Chion’s concept of audio-vision and the technical specifications of mobile audio recording, this article highlights how design priorities and compression processes can influence the way sound evidence is perceived. By failing to acknowledge audio recordings as distinct from their visual counterparts, they are rendered invisible and are therefore under scrutinized throughout legal processes. This neglect becomes notably problematic in cases of police use of force where audio/visual recordings often work to bolster the already privileged officer testimony.     

论对日索取民间战争赔偿的法律依据

从对日索取民间战争赔偿的法律依据上看,中国人民要求日本政府和相关企业对当年的罪恶行为进行谢罪和赔偿是天经地义理所当然的。而日本政府在民间赔偿问题上能否有所作为,是检视其能否正确认识和反省侵略历史的一把标尺,也是中日关系能否健康发展的关键所在。     

论民事诉讼中的补强证据规则

民事补强证据规则是指在民事案件中,指导法官运用补强证据使主证据获得证据能力,或增强主证据证明力以达到认定案件事实效果的规则,并且在这一过程中无需考虑补强证据是否对案件事实具有独立证明作用。以法官内心确认是否是需要补强证据的唯一因素为标准,可以将补强证据规则分为“孤证不能定案”的补强证据规则和瑕疵证据的补强证据规则,通过考察我国当前有关补强证据规则的理论基础、立法规定和司法实践,发现还存在内涵不统一,立法规定较为散乱和滞后,举证、质证和认证阶段缺乏必要的程序和标准等问题,尚需进一步从制度、程序和释明等方面加以探讨和完善。     

Mixture Models in View of Evidential Analysis

In some practical inferential situations, it is needed to mix some finite sort of distributions to fit an adequate model for multi-modal observations. In this article, using evidential analysis, we determine the sample size for supporting hypotheses about the mixture proportion and homogeneity. An Expectation-Maximization algorithm is used to evaluate the probability of strong misleading evidence based on modified likelihood ratio as a measure of support.     

民事再审新证据适用的困境与完善

我国民事再审新证据的立法层次不高,规定不甚明确,导致司法人员理解差异较大,适用时掌握标准不统一。类似案件的裁判结果出现差异,有损裁判的公信力和司法权威。司法实践中应当适度从宽掌握认定新证据的标准,科学合理地界定再审新证据。     

The problem of justification in social work

Abstract

In this paper we argue that the real test of professional social work practice is whether it can be plausibly, effectively and defensibly justified. Since the early 1950s social work in Australia has engaged in a strategy of professionalisation. This strategy and its implications were described by McDonald and Jones in 2000. This paper supports the concerns expressed. We argue that the way out of our profession's dilemma is by focusing on the problem of justification. The main questions addressed by McDonald and Jones appear to be: What is professional social work practice? Does the concept of professionalism serve us and our clients well now? What form should social work take in the future? Their answer is ‘that the “strategy of professionalisation”, as conventionally conceived by Australian social work, is no longer viable in the emerging milieu.’ We build on that answer by exploring the notion of justification in terms of the concepts Foundationalism, Coherentism and Reliabilism. We conclude by suggesting that the immediate task for social work in this new century is to solve the problem of justification.     

网络证据之形式问题研究

网络证据能够用来证明待证事实的原因在于其蕴含了该待证事实留下的事实信息。网络证据的存在形式由网络信息的获取及固定方式决定。只有保证其获取信息和固定信息方式的合理性,网络证据在形式上才具有作为证据的适格性。作为一种独立证据形式的网络证据,其划分应当以网络证据蕴含的信息内容及其固定方式为标准。     

A Fit Person to Run a Home: Registered Homes Tribunal Interpretations of the ‘Fit Person’ Concept in the United Kingdom

ABSTRACT

The abuse of people living in residential care in the UK is well documented. A further wealth of information is available in the form of anecdotal accounts of those who have been employed in this sector but who, in a climate which is still somewhat hostile to ‘whistle blowers,’ are not prepared to formally report their concerns. A small but significant amount of hard evidence of abuse exists in the reports of the Registered Homes Tribunal decisions. This body has the jurisdiction to hear appeals concerning the running of registered and nursing homes in the UK. The circumstances portrayed range from issues of ‘bad practice’ to abuse which may be physical, psychological, or sexual, perpetrated by staff, home owners, residents, or visitors. Many of the cases which concern the tribunal focus on whether a given individual is a ‘fit person’ to run a home. It is the aim of this article to consider and reflect on the tribunals’ interpretation of that term, in relation to the operation and decisions of the tribunal.
