While there have been abundant studies on restorative justice (RJ) in China and across the globe, research has paid scant attention to the increasing incorporation of RJ into the framework of Chinese environmental criminal justice (ECJ) and its mounting prominence in handling ECJ cases. To broaden our understanding of RJ in China, this study empirically examines the forms, functions, and foundations of RJ ideals and practices manifested in contemporary Chinese legal responses to environmental crime. Drawing on various sources of qualitative data, we find that RJ in ECJ uses a state-led-and-coordinated network of community organizations and residents (including groups of environmental victims) to account for victim welfare, offenders’ new responsibilization, and public engagement. Furthermore, we argue, as a peculiar form of law’s responsiveness in the wake of China’s swift transition to modernity, RJ in Chinese ECJ works to reinforce the declining legitimacy of the authoritarian state and enhance decreasing trust in the state’s ability to govern. Implications for better understanding and implementing RJ within the ECJ field are also presented and discussed.

尽管国内外对恢复性司法的研究已经相当丰富,但对恢复性司法在中国环境刑事司法框架中的日益纳入以及在处理环境刑事司法案件中的日益突出的关注却很少。为了拓宽我们对中国法律规制的理解,本研究对当代中国环境犯罪法律规制中体现的规制理念和实践的形式、功能和基础进行了实证考察。利用各种来源的定性数据,我们发现ECJ中的RJ使用国家主导和协调的社区组织和居民(包括环境受害者群体)网络来解释受害者福利,犯罪者的新责任和公众参与。此外,我们认为,在中国迅速向现代化转型的过程中,作为一种特殊的法律响应形式,中国ECJ中的RJ致力于加强威权国家日益下降的合法性,并增强对国家治理能力日益下降的信任。本文还提出并讨论了在ECJ领域中更好地理解和实现RJ的含义。

Child protection reform has been difficult, despite evidence that practice should be more child-centred, respectful and responsively inclusive of family and communities. An Australian survey of 387 third parties working with statutory child protection authorities revealed widespread support for reform, but significant opposition to child protection authorities. Only police aligned themselves with child protection authorities. Welfare and family workers were most likely to have defiant postures of resistance and disengagement and to criticize child protection authorities for their bureaucratic ritualism, poor accountability, low trustworthiness and social exclusion. Lawyers and special service providers shared some of these criticisms, while health and educational professionals remained neutral. System reform is likely to grind to a halt when essential third parties are adopting oppositional positions. Principle-led communities of practice that are multidisciplinary and community-inclusive may offer the best hope for cutting through reform gridlock and broadening and deepening capabilities.

儿童保护改革一直很困难,尽管有证据表明,实践应该更加以儿童为中心,尊重和响应家庭和社区。澳大利亚对387个与法定儿童保护机构合作的第三方进行的一项调查显示,人们普遍支持改革,但反对儿童保护机构的呼声很高。只有警察与儿童保护部门结盟。福利和家庭工作者最有可能表现出反抗和脱离的姿态,并批评儿童保护当局的官僚主义、问责不力、可信度低和社会排斥。律师和特别服务提供者也提出了一些批评,而卫生和教育专业人员则保持中立。当重要的第三方采取反对立场时,体制改革可能会陷入停顿。以原则为主导的多学科、包容社区的实践社区,最有可能打破改革僵局,扩大和深化能力。

This study aimed to ascertain the impact of parent’s criminal justice involvement on offspring’s contact with the criminal justice system in Singapore. It further analyzed how various aspects of parent’s criminal justice involvement influence the extent of the intergenerational transmission. Linked administrative data of five full birth cohorts (1965, 1970, 1975, 1980, 1985; N = 93,829) and their children were analyzed (Nchildren = 183,015). Restricted mean survival time (RMST) analyses were conducted, and results suggested that children whose parent had contact with the criminal justice system had fewer crime-free years compared to children whose parent did not have any criminal justice contact. In addition, the impact of paternal and maternal involvement with the criminal justice system was greater on daughters than sons; the impact of custodial sentences was greater than that of noncustodial sentences; and it was also found that a higher frequency of parent’s criminal justice involvement increased the likelihood of children’s contact with the criminal justice system. Intergenerational transmission of criminal justice involvement was observed in Singapore, and so the findings highlighted the importance of supporting families of offenders to disrupt the negative cycle of offending behavior.

本研究旨在探讨新加坡父母刑事司法介入对子女接触刑事司法系统的影响。它进一步分析了父母刑事司法参与的各个方面如何影响代际传递的程度。5个完整出生队列的相关行政数据(1965、1970、1975、1980、1985;N = 93,829)及其子女(N = 183,015)。进行了限制平均生存时间(RMST)分析,结果表明,父母与刑事司法系统有接触的儿童与父母没有任何刑事司法接触的儿童相比,无犯罪年数更少。此外,父亲和母亲参与刑事司法系统对女儿的影响大于儿子;监禁判决的影响大于非监禁判决的影响;研究还发现,父母参与刑事司法的频率越高,孩子接触刑事司法系统的可能性就越大。在新加坡观察到刑事司法参与的代际传递,因此研究结果强调了支持罪犯家庭打破犯罪行为的负面循环的重要性。

Abstract

This study investigated the predictive strength of self-control relative to contextual factors in school, family, and peer groups and its interconnections with these factors in explaining adolescent delinquency among a Chinese population. Using data elicited from a survey of 587 Chinese students in 7th to 9th grades from rural areas in Guangdong Province of China, we found that self-control is an important predictor of delinquency. Moreover, contextual factors exert independent effects on delinquency with strength that rivals or exceeds that of self-control in a collectivistic cultural setting. Importantly, we found that the effects of self-control on delinquency are contingent upon contextual factors such as care-taking quality, bonding in school, and children’s involvement in unsupervised activities and association with delinquent peers. Overall, these findings shed light on the value of an integrative approach that accounts for independence and interconnection of individual and contextual mechanisms to address the complexity that self-control theory implies in cross-cultural settings.

摘要本研究调查了学校、家庭和同龄人群体中自我控制相对于情境因素的预测强度,以及它与这些因素在解释中国人群青少年犯罪中的相互关系。利用对587名来自广东省农村地区的7-9年级中国学生的调查数据,我们发现自我控制是犯罪的重要预测因素。此外,在集体主义文化环境中,背景因素对犯罪产生了独立的影响,其力量可以与自我控制相媲美或超过自我控制。重要的是,我们发现自我控制对犯罪的影响取决于情境因素,如照顾质量、学校关系、儿童参与无监督活动以及与犯罪同龄人的联系。总的来说,这些发现揭示了综合方法的价值,该方法考虑了个体和情境机制的独立性和相互联系,以解决自我控制理论在跨文化环境中所暗示的复杂性。

Abstract

The custom of ghost marriages has been passed down since the ancient times in China. Adults who died before marriage could not be buried with their ancestors. Their families did not want to leave bodies outside, as they believed that the spirits would become lonely. Instead, they wished to find husbands or wives for their dead relatives to continue the family tree. The custom has spawned a large ghost bride market, resulting in the trading of female corpses. This industry and its profits have driven criminals to kidnap and murder women, raid tombs and morgues, steal and traffic corpses. The study demonstrates that while in the folklore the stigma of being unmarried should apply to both men and women, the corpses trafficked are mainly women and in poorer provinces. While ghost marriages create a market of supply and demand in booming rural China, the market also indicates income and gender inequality behind the crime.

摘要冥婚的习俗在中国自古流传。婚前死亡的成年人不能和他们的祖先葬在一起。他们的家人不希望把尸体留在外面,因为他们相信这些灵魂会变得孤独。相反,他们希望为死去的亲人找到丈夫或妻子,以延续家谱。这一习俗催生了一个庞大的鬼新娘市场,导致了女性尸体的交易。这个行业及其利润驱使犯罪分子绑架和谋杀妇女,洗劫坟墓和停尸房,偷窃和贩卖尸体。研究表明,虽然在民间传说中,未婚的耻辱应该适用于男性和女性,但被贩卖的尸体主要是女性,而且在较贫穷的省份。虽然冥婚在蓬勃发展的中国农村创造了一个供需市场,但这个市场也表明,这种犯罪背后存在收入和性别不平等。
