As a legal facility for carrying out criminal detention, a pre-trial detention house should remain neutral and safeguard detainees’ substantive and procedural rights. It should be an important base for the country to respect and protect human rights. At the macro level, protecting detainees’ rights comprises two aspects: 1) procedural rights, regarding which the principle of presumption of innocence should be applied; and 2) detainee treatment, regarding which the principle of socialization should be applied. At the current stage of China’s rights protection situation, China should improve detainees’ rights, such as the right to have an individual bed, the rights to health care and religious freedom, rules regarding the use of legirons, and transparency and independent monitoring mechanisms.展开更多

Land registration involves functions of private law and public law. It is partial to only considering private rights dimension when deciding whether registration validity doctrine or registration confrontation doctrine should be implemented in housing land use right. Compilation of land use planning, implementation of land use control and promotion of arrangement project in rural residential area all rely on sound and complete housing land registration data. To clarify housing land right adscription, eliminate hidden troubles causing housing land dispute and promote the establishment of harmonious countryside can never be achieved without housing land registration data. To carry out registration validity doctrine of housing land use right can effectively guide farmers' registration behavior and thus build a perfect registration information system of housing land use right. After the cross-village and even cross-town arrangement in rural residential areas, rural acquaintance society has transformed into semi-acquaintance society and even stranger society. Therefore, housing land use right commending its existence with registration in public form has been a necessary choice in legislation.展开更多

Berkeley's battle for fair housing represented an important phase of the civil rights struggle on the west coast and in cities where racial segregation was not based on law, but part of a conspiracy, silent but quite effective, among realtors, mortgage lenders, and renters, against Blacks and other minorities. Encouraged by state antidiscrimination legislation, Berkeley activists embarked upon a fair housing campaign based on surveys of the problem, efforts to enact legislation, and direct action. The irrationality of racists who defended their right to discriminate was one of the most singular aspects of the fair housing struggle. Though they lost at the local level, the coalition of new political forces succeeded a few months later at the state level and represented an effective force in liberal politics in the city for years to come. Because of the stiff opposition and the limits of reformers' liberal fair housing regulations, however, working class and poor African Americans still faced severe housing problems.展开更多
