论刑法中的占有——《最高人民法院公报》相关案例的回顾与评析

财物是否是遗忘物,不能根据财物的民法属性予以判断,而是应该考察案件的具体情况,结合财物本身的性质、放置的地点、时间等各种要素,根据人们的日常生活观念予以判断.委托物如果是封缄物,其占有归属不能仅仅根据自然事实,认为属于受托人,而应该注重封缄的目的性,认为占有属于委托人,无论受托人占有内容物还是整体物,都构成盗窃罪.盗窃罪以非法占有目的为必要,其内容为排除他人占有,并且按照财物的经济用途或者可能用途利用他人的财物.     

亲属相盗认定与处罚的学理探讨

亲属相盗是指行为人盗窃亲属之财产的行为。对此种犯罪的处理是依据最高人民法院所做的司法解释,这一解释,虽弥补了刑法立法的空白,但在遇到共同盗窃时,此解释却显现出了它的不足。解决这一问题,应将亲属相盗的案件作为刑事自诉案件处理。     

Sorcery,Theft and Affinity: The Estrangement of Intimacy in Eastern Java

Research has called attention to the importance placed on incorporating the ‘Other’— turning outsiders into insiders—particularly in local and rural contexts of Southeast Asia. This can be seen in a variety of cultural phenomena such as origin myths, marriage patterns and even home design. Rather than focusing on the way strangers are included, in this article I analyse the converse phenomenon: estrangement among family, neighbours and friends. In Tegalgaring in far east Java, house design and a relaxed trespass etiquette welcome passers-by; nevertheless, while front doors are left open, bedrooms and cupboards remain locked. When something is presumed stolen, it is either said to be ‘missing’ or attributed to ‘outsiders’. Suspicion, however, falls on those who are nearest. Sorcery is thought, in theory, to work over long distances. Yet in ‘actual’ cases, the ‘victim’ is often the alleged sorcerer's neighbour, family member or friend. I contextualise these phenomena in terms of other research from the region and argue that, while the inclusion of the ‘Other’ is crucial, the in-group estrangement is also significant.     

The immigration–crime relationship: Evidence across US metropolitan areas

Despite popular commentary claiming a link between immigration and crime, empirical research exploring this relationship is sparse. Especially missing from the literature on immigration and crime is a consideration of how immigration affects rates of crime at the macro-level. Although individual-level studies of immigrant criminality and victimization tend to demonstrate that immigrants typically engage in less crime than their native-born counterparts, the effect of immigration on aggregate criminal offending is less clear. In this research, we attempt to address this weakness in the literature by examining the effects of aspects of immigration on crime rates in metropolitan areas. We combine 2000 US Census data and 2000 Uniform Crime Report data to explore how the foreign-born population influences criminal offending across a sample of metropolitan areas. After controlling for a host of demographic and economic characteristics, we find that immigration does not increase crime rates, and some aspects of immigration lessen crime in metropolitan areas.     

窃品问题的经济学研究:一个文献综述

现代经济学有关偷窃和窃品交易的论述始于贝克尔的"犯罪的经济学分析"一文.此后,这个领域内出现了丰富的文献,主要有偷窃活动的社会福利成本分析,偷窃规制及其效率的讨论,窃品交易及交易价格如何形成等.理论演进也大体经历了从宏观福利效应、经济效率分析到微观偷窃市场结构和价格形成机制的讨论.窃品定价价机制的进一步研究将是深化偷窃、窃品问题研究的主要突破口.     

New York: The Animated City

Abstract

The urban landscape of New York City is one that is familiar to many, but, through the medium of animation, this familiarity has been consistently challenged. Often metamorphic, and always meticulously constructed, animated imagery encourages reflective thinking. Focusing on the themes of construction, destruction, and interactivity, this article seeks to cast critical light upon the animated double life that New York City has lived through the following moving image texts: Disney’s Fantasia 2000 (1999), Patrick Jean’s computer-generated short Pixels (2009), and Rockstar Games’ open-world blockbuster Grand Theft Auto IV (2008).     

青少年偷窃的类型化分析

青少年偷窃行为对青少年自身和社会具有严重危害性，因此，对青少年偷窃行为应加以重视。将青少年犯罪的类型化分析与心理学有关偷窃的解释理论相结合，有利于加强对青少年偷窃行为的研究。对3个案例的研究发现：精神满足低导致孩子的不良行为，同时物质满足低导致学生的偷窃行为：影响孩子精神满足的客观因素是家长职业时间，在大城市影响学生物质满足的因素则是家长主观上的教育方式。在孩子因客观制约而无法获得精神满足时，给与孩子较多的物质满足是更优策略；应对孩子的偷窃与其他不良行为，教师的精神关怀比批评与惩罚更有效。     

Kinship ties and employee theft perceptions in family-owned businesses

Family business research typically views family firms using the frameworks developed for non-family businesses (e.g., agency theory, institutional theory). Thus, using an evolutionary perspective on family may help address gaps in the family business literature, particularly regarding deviance. In the current study, we use kin selection theory to predict that family members receive preferential treatment and this history of privileges can create entitlement and lead genetically-related employees to misuse company resources. Using an experimental vignette methodology and data from 161 people recruited from an online panel, we found that the participants’ purported genetic relatedness to the owner of a business increased their theft intentions and decreased their expected severity of sanctions and likelihood of being reported. Biological sex moderated the relationships between genetic relatedness and theft intentions, as well as between expectations of punishment and theft intentions. Specifically, when females expected higher severity of sanctions or likelihood of whistleblowing, they were less likely to report theft intentions, compared to males. The results of this study suggest that family business owners should protect against theft by all employees, including genetic relatives. Future research using field samples would help provide context for these findings.     

对“机器是不可以被骗的”的批判

＂机器是不可以被骗的＂是基于法律分析方法的错误,引起了就机器是否可以被骗的肯定论和否定论的无意义的长期争论,进而强化了法律分析方法的错误,其作用也随着国外计算机诈骗罪立法和我国司法解释的发展而消失,而利用传统的标准完全可以区分盗窃和诈骗,即行为人取得财产是否由能够处分财产的人因为受骗并基于由被骗所致的认识错误而作出的处分行为所致,因而应该立即抛弃这一观点。     

论《偷窃：一个爱情故事》中的艺术欺诈 与人性迷失

彼得·凯里的长篇小说《偷窃：一个爱情故事》是一部揭露艺术欺诈与人性迷失的作品。小说中澳洲画家迈克尔·波恩陷入偷窃骗局的经历,既反映了技术导致艺术价值丧失的后现代文化现象,也反映了画家在重占有社会背景下所面临的道德抉择。迈克尔回归传统和人性的结局昭示了艺术和道德的力量。
