构建新型警察公共关系理念的思考

警察公关理念是警察组织建立良好公共关系的前提,是支配警察公关行为的思想和意识。把科学发展观的普遍原理贯穿于公安队伍公共关系理念建设的全过程,真正解决警察公共关系理念建设的内涵、目标、模式与途径等问题,才能加速推进中国公安特色公关理念思想的变革,跟上时代发展的步伐。     

社会建设视野下公众对警察角色认知探析——基于A地区公众对警察职业了解的调查

公众对公安警察角色的认知,直接决定着公众各阶层对警察工作的支持和肯定。公众各阶层对警察角色的认知存在显著差异：从公众的整个阶层体系来看,不同阶层对警察角色的认知存在显著差异;从警察不同角色的划分来看,公众各阶层对不同角色的认知也存在差异。公众对警察角色的认知差异,受不同阶层的构成特征以及认知途径的影响。因此,要区分不同阶层的构成特征,同时要拓宽公众认知警察角色的途径,促进警察工作正常有序进行。     

三种监督四种解决加拿大投诉警察机制有特色

加拿大早在20世纪80年代末期就建立起了对警察执法监督的独立监督制度体系,成为英美法系国家较早探索对警察执法监督的国家之一。2006年7月,笔者随中国检察代表团访问了加拿大公众投诉皇家骑警委员会、卑诗省公众投诉警察专员办公室、温哥华警察局、安大略省警察违法独立调查办公室和检控厅等,对加拿大的公众投诉警察独立监督体制与运行机制进行了深入了解。     

试论警察与公众良性互动机制之构建

警察与公众的关系是一种客观存在.强调加强警察公共关系建设,实质上是要实现警察与公众的良性互动.我国警察公共关系尚处于起步阶段,特别需要运用公共关系的原理和方法,从理论层面加以深入研究,并在实践中不断进行探索.应加强警察与公众理解与互信,拉近警察与公众距离.     

英国的公众警务监督系统

<正>公众安全感和公众对警察的信心是英国警务部门工作的重要目标，公众对于警察的评价直接影响到警务工作的评价体系和价值导向。正是在这种理念指导下，2004年英国建立了以投诉警察独立监察委员会为核心的新型公众警务监督机制。公众警务监督机制的运作极大地促进了英国警务工作的公正合法性，维护了社会公平正义，同时也提升了公众对于警察执法工作的满意度和支持度。     

警事治理:国家警事社会化的新定义

治理理论对国家与市民社会关系的认识思路是国家和市民社会相互"型塑"达致社会公共事务管理的"善治"。在国内外警务战略模式变革中成为潮流的"国家警事社会化"战略,是指在警察机关专业警务活动的同时,动员社会组织和社区公众共同参与防控违法犯罪、维护社会治安秩序活动的过程。显然,"国家警事社会化"寻求警察与社会组织及社区公众的互动合作基础上公共安全管理的改善。因为警察与国家的对应、社会组织及公众正是市民社会的具象,所以可以用治理理论作为分析"国家警事社会化"的框架,并将其定义为"警事治理"。     

全媒体时代检察工作的科学发展

正随着全媒体时代的到来,传统的信息传播格局被打破,社会舆论的形成机制和传播方式不断改变,深刻影响着人们的生产方式、生活方式、思维方式和思想观念。全媒体时代的到来,同样也给检察工作带来了全新的时代背景和发展理念,只有牢牢把握全媒体时代的传播规律,顺应全媒体时代的发展要求,不断转变检察工作理念和工作机制,才能促进检察工作科学发展。一、充分认识和牢牢把握全媒体时代信息传播的规律和特点     

论警察与媒体的通融

构筑警方与媒体的和谐是我们的应有之义。改善和发展警察公共关系需要借助媒体的力量,良好的媒体关系有助于提升警察形象。媒体是警察与公众联系的桥梁和纽带,警方借助媒体发布正面的信息从而争取公众对警察工作的支持,使“执法者”与服务对象融为一体,共同维护治安、打击犯罪。     

警察体育与群体意识培养

监狱警察是一个特殊的群体，是依法管理监狱、执行刑罚、对罪犯进行教育改造等活动的监狱管理人员，是以宪法和法律为活动准则，忠于职守、清正廉洁、纪律严明、服从命令、严格执法的人民民主专政工具。警察需要群体意识，利用警察体育培养未来警察的群体意识主要是培养规范统一意识、团结合作意识、形象楷模意识。培养群体意识是警察队伍规范化的需要、提高警察战斗力的需要、树立警察形象的需要。

香港社区警务制度及其影响探究

社区警务是20世纪末在国际范围内兴起的一种适应市场经济体制的警务模式,这种模式已经成为国际警务发展的大趋势。作为原英国殖民地,香港的法律制度和警察体制都深受英国警务制度的影响,从而形成了具有香港特色的较为严谨的法律体系和专业警察队伍。20世纪70年代,英国的社区警务制度在香港悄然兴起,并在遏制犯罪和促进警民关系等方面起到积极作用,形成了相对完整、系统的社区警务模式。香港回归以来,内地公安机关逐渐引入香港先进的警务模式和理念,从而对大陆的警务政策的制定和警民关系的维护产生了巨大的影响。     

Repairing the Divide

Abstract

In this paper, we use responses from a 1998 Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) and Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) survey to investigate how the concept of community policing and the individual strategies associated with this public safety policy shape African American, Latino, and white perceptions of police officers. Community policing exerted differential effects on Latino, African American, and white perceptions of the police. Despite intentions to improve police-minority relations, community policing most strongly and positively affects whites' perceptions of neighborhood police. Both the public pronouncement and actual tactics of community policing had a greater impact on white perceptions of the police than they did for Latino and African American views toward the police, even though community policing also fulfills its promise to reduce tensions between the police and racial and ethnic minorities. Understanding the differences among African Americans, Latinos, and whites is critical to the evolution of community policing policies. Recognizing the importance of these differences, instead of adopting a “one size fits all” approach, puts the police and community members in a position to better realize the potential benefits of community policing.     

Race and satisfaction with the police in a small city

In a democratic society, public opinion of criminal justice systems is essential for the proper functioning of police departments. Since the 1970s, police organizations were increasingly concerned with their external social relationship. This was particularly true in the era of community policing. This study explored determinants of satisfaction with the police. Data from 235 residents of a small northeastern city in the United States were analyzed. The results indicated that Hispanics had the lowest global satisfaction with the police, while Caucasians had the highest. The results also revealed the importance of separating global satisfaction from specific satisfaction. The study concluded that police departments must work harder at gaining public satisfaction among African Americans and Hispanics and work toward increasing public feelings of safety in order to improve citizen satisfaction with the police.     

Powers and Accountability of Private Police

Substantial growth in private policing has been documented in countries throughout the world, and the division of responsibilities for policing between public and private authorities has become increasingly blurred and contested during the last three decades. Because private policing is so frequently assessed on the basis of criteria established with respect to the public police, substantial myths have developed about the powers and accountability of private police; specifically, it is commonly asserted that private police have no significant power(s), and are essentially not accountable, in comparison with the public police. The author argues that such assertions misrepresent the very substantial coercive power of private police as well as the variety of mechanisms through which they may be held accountable, and also commonly exaggerate the effective accountability of the public police. The author concludes that a greater appreciation of the actual power and accountability of private police will provide an improved basis for the development of sound public policy with respect to both private and public policing, and with respect to appropriate relationships between private and public policing organisations.     

The pluralization of policing and the rise of private policing in China

Policing in China has undergone tremendous change during the economic transformation of the past three decades. This paper describes the plural policing bodies that have existed during pre- and post-reform periods in China. In the pre-reform period the policing bodies were generally public in nature with the public security police playing an important role in providing professional guidance to the other policing bodies. In the post-reform period, there has been a transition from a monopoly of public policing to an integration of public/private policing, with the public security police still playing a leading role in the policing network. Apart from the emergence of private policing (the security service industry), there is also a trend towards privatizing some previously public policing bodies in line with the movement toward strengthening the rule of law and towards privatization in general.     

Public perceptions of police misconduct and discrimination: Examining the impact of media consumption

The media portrayal of policing is juxtaposed with both positive and negative representations. As a result, a complex relationship exists between media consumption and public attitudes towards the police. The purpose of this study was to test the impact that media consumption had on attitudes toward police misconduct and discrimination. The findings revealed that heavy consumers of network news were more likely to believe that police misconduct was a frequent event. This was especially true for minority respondents. Similarly, minority respondents that frequently viewed network news were more likely to believe that Whites received better treatment by the police. Finally, the findings revealed that frequent viewers of police dramas believed that the wealthy received preferential treatment from the police. Conversely, frequent viewers of crime solving shows believed that the wealthy did not receive preferential treatment.     

REFORMING THE POLICE: RACIAL DIFFERENCES IN PUBLIC SUPPORT FOR CHANGE*

While the literature has extensively documented popular discontent with various types of police misconduct, little is known about popular support for corrective measures. Such information, however, would be valuable for public policy and has the potential to enhance public confidence in the police. This article, using data from a recent national survey, reports public attitudes toward several specific reforms in policing. Findings indicate, first, that race is a predictor. Blacks and Hispanics are the most supportive of reform. Second, support for reform is strongly affected by the perceived frequency of police misconduct in one's city and neighborhood and by exposure to media reports of police misconduct. Respondents who believe that police corruption, unwarranted stops, and verbal and physical abuse of citizens are common are more likely to favor reforms. The same is true for those who are frequently exposed to news media coverage of incidents of police misconduct. The findings are consistent with the group‐position theory of race relations.     

Transformation of Macau policing: from a Portuguese colony to China’s SAR

This study examines policing in Macau and identifies major forces that have shaped its transformation over past decades. Prior to 1999, Macau was a Portuguese colony. Its criminal justice system inherited key features of the Continental system, including two independent law enforcement agencies: the Judiciary Police and the Public Security Police. In the colonial era, expatriate commanders drawn from the military or legal professions headed both departments, while the rank-and-file was composed mainly of local Chinese. This policing mechanism, together with the ‘laissez-faire’ policing philosophy adopted by colonial leaders, created segregation between policing agencies and the community. Citizens preferred minimal interaction with police, since they were skeptical about their professionalism, capability, and reliability. Macau became part of the Peoples’ Republic of China in 1999. The de-monopolization of the gaming industries in 2002 brought huge GDP growth, but generated internal social conflict. Growing public demand for accountable governance motivated a series of governmental reforms, some of which have extended to policing. These reforms have improved the transparency of policing, but it remains to be seen if they will ultimately succeed in generating public trust in the police forces.     

Book review essay

This article examines changes in organizational priorities related to the three core functions of American policing—crime control, the maintenance of order, and the provision of services—during the era of community-oriented policing (COP). The change in priorities is analyzed using panel data from three national surveys of more than 200 municipal police departments conducted in 1993, 1996, and 2000. The primary finding is that police core-function priorities remained largely unchanged during this period. However, the systematic implementation of COP programs reflects an all-out effort to address all three core functions of policing at a higher level of achievement.
