The Criminal Governance Model of Domestic Violence and Its Legislative Improvement

Domestic violence is a serious threat to the basic human rights of family members,especially victimized women.In order to effectively prevent domestic violence,the criminal law needs to respond in an appropriate and timely manner.However,the traditional criminal governance model suffers from the problem of the lagging involvement of public power.At the same time,the public-private partnership governance model,based on the personal safety protection order system stipulated in the Anti-domestic Violence Law of the People's Republic of China,is also flawed in its institutional design and specific implementation.The criminal governance model for domestic violence should be guided by the view of positive criminal law,and the governance path should be furtheroptimized from two aspects:strengthening the foundation of the public-private cooperation governance model and deepeningthe criminal-civil interface.This will help to fully protect the legitimate rights and interests of victims of domestic violence.

A Study on the Pre-legislative Evaluation System under the Deepening Reform

In the historical period of the all-round deepening reform,China has entered a new era of“deepening the practice of governing the country by law”.With the fifth amendment of the Constitution,the legislative power of local government has been further confirmed.The expansion of local legislative power has put forward new requirements for the legislative quality,and the pre-legislative evaluation system has thus come into being.The deficiency of the design of the pre-legislative evaluation system in Article 39 of The Legislative Law makes certain problems in the detailed rules of implementation,the subject of evaluation,the object of evaluation and the personnel of the pre-legislative evaluation system in China.Therefore,it is the only way to perfect the pre-legislative evaluation system in China to formulate a national pre-legislative evaluation implementation rules,define the subject of third-party evaluation,determine the scope of evaluation objects and select the suitable evaluation personnel.

The Legal Conflicts, the Legislative Vacancies and the Legislative Lags in the Chinese Environmental Legal System

The inconsistency and disharmony in China’s environmental legal system are seriously undermining the authority and effectiveness of environmental laws, making it hard to achieve the national environmental legislative goals. It is found in this study that at least 18 administrative regulations and rules conflict with the five recently-revised environmental laws. The legislative vacancy rate of province-level environmental laws reaches 27.8%, and that of city-level environmental laws in the major cities reaches 59.7%. Besides, 66% of the local including both province-level and city-level environmental laws have the problem of legislative lags, with an average lag of 2547.8 days. In addition, there are many legal conflicts between national environmental laws and local environmental laws. In order to help China to build a harmonious and unified environmental legal system, some suggestions are proposed in this study, including comprehensively examining the lower-level environmental laws, strengthening the leading role of local people’s congresses in environmental legislation, improving the construction of filing and review mechanism, and optimizing the mechanisms for information disclosure and public participation.

On the Legislative Process of the Right to Be Forgotten

In the big data era,the pursuit of the right to be forgotten arises from the data subject’s desire to request the removal of his/her personal data.Although the right to be forgotten is hotly debated at the global level,there is a paucity of research into the legislative process of this right.This study aims to scrutinize how legislation on the right to be forgotten evolves in different countries.First,the origin and development of the right to be forgotten are expounded by analyzing the legislation on and the major legislative interpretation of the right.Second,the elements of this right are determined and examined by dissecting the right.Last but not least,the nature of this right is probed into and illustrated.It is found that the soundness of a legal framework for data protection varies from country to country,which indicates that the institutional basis for the right to be forgotten differs markedly.Thereby,countries shall decide whether to legislate to protect the right to be forgotten based on their practicalities.Moreover,according to Article 17 of the General Data Protection Regulation(GDPR),the right to be forgotten is composed of the subject of right(data subject),the subject of obligation(data controller),the object of right(personal data),and the content of right(all links to the personal data,etc.,must be deleted by the subject of obligation at the request of the subject of right).Furthermore,there are three typical views about the nature of this right based on scholars’divergent opinions on the relationship among the right to be forgotten,personality rights,rights in personal information,and the right to privacy.It is concluded that countries that do not enjoy mature legislative conditions should not grant the right to be forgotten legal status,although it has been enshrined in law by partial countries with sound legal systems.In addition,the defects in the right’s four elements remain to be remedied before it could be legally acknowledged.Finally,the right to be forgotten,in terms of its nature,should be classified as rights in personal information,which are part of personality rights.

Dualistic Perspective of Legislative Background Data

The charm of the legislative background data lies in its duality of being able to build a bridge between the practical field of legislation and judicature and the theoretical field of academic research. Proper application of legislative background data is an important criterion to distinguish between professionals and the public. On the application of legislative background data, from the legislative point of view, legislators need to use the conclusions and reasons of the value judgments formed around the opinions of the proponents as the basis for criticism and argumentation, reaching a minimal consensus through power; from the perspective of interpretivism, the judge needs to focus on the legislator's existing law text and legislative background information to give explanation as the basis for future amendments, reaching maximum consensus through power. On searching the legislative background data, different searching paths and methods could be exploited in the distinction between the text data recorded by the recorder and the audio-visual data recorded by the expositor. The enlightenment obtained from legislative background data should be used for the construction and perfection of the wisdom and intelligence of the court. The judges should be the ideological assistants of the legislators. The search for enlightenment from legislative background data can be conducted from three perspectives, namely cognition, arrangement, and disclosure. Therefore, legislative background data should be standardized by law.

Legislative Impact on Significance of RES in the Latvian Energy Market

Latvia is a new European Union country, with 20-year experience in the efforts to develop the energy policy that would favour reliable supply of the state with energy and promote its effective and rational utilization. The energy law should take into consideration the technological progress and increasing energy consumption as well as the poorly regulated sphere of production and utilization. At present, new regulations are needed, as the existent ones have become outdated and unable to ensure stable development of the energy sector. However, the lack of experience and sometimes external influence could lead to a situation when the new law would not be conducive to the industrial development but vice-versa-would slow it down. Since Latvia has been confronted by counterproductive laws, it is highly important to estimate beforehand the future impact of legislation on the state economy. On issue of for the country is now to guarantee-by force of law-the optimal share of renewable energy in the national energy mix. The objective set within the framework of European Union policy is to achieve a 40% share of renewable energy by 2020; therefore, it is necessary to work out a separate law concerning the RES （renewable energy sources）. The new RES law is to regulate support and to promote increase in the share of renewable. However, there are many influencing factors--not clearly specified outlooks for the energy sector and national economy development, the interests of energy importers, lobbying, etc.; these factors can make the RES law not only ineffective but even negatively affecting the RES share stability in the state energy balance. It is therefore essential, before the law has been adopted, to thoroughly analyze it so that the optimal variant is accepted.
