Expressed trust and compliance in police‐civilian encounters: the role of communication accommodation in Chinese and American settings

Research has demonstrated that police officers' communicative practices are potent predictors of individuals' expressed reactions to law enforcement. The present study continues this line of work in Taiwan, the People's Republic of China, and the United States by testing a theoretical model pertaining to the influence of perceived police officer accommodation and reported trust on attitudes about compliance with police requests. In addition to differences in reported levels of these variables across locations, findings indicated that perceived police officer communication accommodation predicted trust in police which, in turn, predicted attitudes about compliance with police requests. The empirical and practical significance of these findings are discussed.     

论责任意识——我国警察文化的伦理基础

我国警察文化是社会主流文化与警察职业生活过程各种要素相互影响并长期积淀的结果,它有不同于社会其他亚文化的伦理诉求。能使警察将此伦理诉求转化为现实职业行为的精神力量,便是警察的责任意识。在警察文化的发展过程中,警察责任意识与警察文化的职业价值观核心问题、警察制度文化,以及警察文学艺术的创作与演绎相互作用、相互影响,从而推动警察文化进一步发展。     

Lesbian,Gay, Bisexual,and Queer People's Perceptions of the Criminal Justice System: Implications for Social Services

Previous literature has found historically marginalized groups report more negative perceptions of the criminal justice system and lower levels of procedural justice, which then influences their mental health and their willingness to report crimes. While previous research on procedural justice has focused mostly on racial and ethnic minority groups, it is hypothesized that lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) individuals would also report negative experiences of the criminal justice system. The current study utilized focus groups with 16 participants who identified as lesbian, gay, bisexual, and queer (LGBQ), with ages ranging from 26 to 35 years (M = 30.5 years, SD = 3.5). Participants were asked open-ended questions about how they felt about various aspects of the criminal justice system (e.g., police officers, courts, legal processes, etc.). Through the consensual qualitative research (CQR) process, researchers identified five domains that influenced participants’ experiences of the criminal justice system: (a) gender presentation, (b) influences of intersectional identities, (c) systemic and political issues, (d) experiences of discrimination, and (e) help-seeking behaviors and the criminal justice system. Implications for social services are discussed.     

Disparate Levels of Stress in Police and Correctional Officers: Preliminary Evidence from a Pilot Study on Domestic Violence

New data from a prevention curriculum project on officer-involved domestic violence reveals significant differences in the reported job stress of Florida's correctional officers when compared to police officers who took the same surveys. The significantly higher reported levels of organizational stress in particular—especially those related to staff and resource shortages and attitudes about leadership—raise concerns about the relationship between organizational stress and the reported drastic budget cuts, hiring freezes, and layoffs experienced by the Department of Corrections in 2009. The surprising disparity has significant implications for policy makers, who should be aware of the high cost of stress in officer health and well-being when making budgetary decisions about the state's rapidly increasing inmate population.     

论自首

自首的成立需具备两个条件,即自动投案和如实供述自己的罪行;被采取强制措施的犯罪嫌疑人、被告人和正在服刑的罪犯,如实供述司法机关还未掌握的本人其他罪行的,以自首论;广义的坦白包括自首,狭义的坦白不包括自首,二者各具质的规定性;自首从宽是我国刑法规定的一项重要刑罚制度,也是惩办与宽大结合政策的具体体现之一.     

政策执行力研究综述:现状、问题与发展——基于中国十年来政策执行力研究的文献分析

政策执行力研究是拓展政策科学领域的重要内容。近十年来,中国政策执行力的研究成果呈现逐年递增的趋势,研究的广度和深度也在不断扩展,但同时也暴露出一些不容忽视的问题。政策执行力研究的进一步发展需要从注重理论分析,促进研究理论多元化;创新研究方法,加强研究应用性;丰富研究对象,开拓研究视角以及拓宽研究领域,促进研究层次的全面提升四个方面突破。     

交通警察权与其他行政权的关系及其实现——行政权谱系中的考察

处于行政权谱系的交通警察权与其他行政权的关系主要表现为职务协助,该定位不仅可为相关规章内容不统一问题提供正当性注解,而且基于法规范与法事实的错位以及城市治理的合作化诉求,也有其存在的正当性基础。两者职务协助关系应在双重维度下展开:交通警察的协助行为应具备基础性条件、职权性要求、被动性情势、裁量性过程4要件;而其他行政主体协助行为的\     

刑讯逼供的法理分析及改良措施

刑讯逼供的产生原因很复杂 ,究其根本原因是在于 :刑事立法所确立的犯罪构成理论使得自白必要主义成为可能 ;现有的犯罪研究理论对刑事司法的导引功能较为不足 ;刑事诉讼立法价值取向只注重当事人权利的存在 ,而忽略了权利的保障和实现 ;刑事诉讼证明标准强调客观真实使保障人权的程序价值衰退。从现实的期待可能性出发 ,对刑讯逼供的控制只能采取临时性的改良措施     

对军用安全模型的扩展

军用安全模型是一种适合于诸如政府部门、军队等涉密组织,信息系统内对信息流进行控制的多级安全模型,原理是依据线性格与子集格的乘积格实施信息流控制的,但所描述的关系在实际应用中存在着缺陷。新模型则利用敏感级格与组织内部的层次格的乘积格反映组织内部带敏感性的“层级”关系,然后再与信息的子集格相乘形成更为合理的访问控制与信息流控制关系,从而使其更适合于军队、政府部门或各类涉密组织的信息系统对信息和信息流的安全控制要求。     

审判中心主义下检警关系重构研究

检警关系是刑事诉讼关系的基本内容之一,我国侦查、起诉、审判逐次推进的诉讼阶段构造使检警机关长期面临着配合不足、监督不力的实践困境,审前不良的权力运作将会导致庭审不利的最终结果,难以有效追诉犯罪和保障人权.为了满足以审判为中心司法改革的现实需要,有必要对审前阶段检警关系的运作模式进行研究,为庭审做好准备.在借鉴域外检警关系有益经验的同时,立足本土资源,在选择最适合我国司法运作的检警分离模式基础上,通过具体制度的进一步构建,完善检警机关的权力运作,规范审前程序,为实质化庭审做好准备.
