Sources of Authoritarian Responsiveness: A Field Experiment in China

A growing body of research suggests that authoritarian regimes are responsive to societal actors, but our understanding of the sources of authoritarian responsiveness remains limited because of the challenges of measurement and causal identification. By conducting an online field experiment among 2,103 Chinese counties, we examine factors that affect officials' incentives to respond to citizens in an authoritarian context. At baseline, we find that approximately one‐third of county governments respond to citizen demands expressed online. Threats of collective action and threats of tattling to upper levels of government cause county governments to be considerably more responsive, whereas identifying as loyal, long‐standing members of the Chinese Communist Party does not increase responsiveness. Moreover, we find that threats of collective action make local officials more publicly responsive. Together, these results demonstrate that top‐down mechanisms of oversight as well as bottom‐up societal pressures are possible sources of authoritarian responsiveness.     

Correctional officers' perceptions of the competency-based counseling training program in taiwan: a preliminary qualitative research

The purposes of this exploratory study are to present a model of the competency-based counseling training program with correctional officers in Taiwan and highlight findings from a qualitative exploration. Grounded theory procedures are used to explore 23 correctional officers' perceptions of the training program. This training program results in positive feelings about the significant learning experience, greater theoretical knowledge, and a greater understanding of the counseling work. In addition, eight themes emerging from the data pertain to the significant experiences of the training process. These themes are outlined and discussed. Implications for correctional officers' counseling training program and research questions for future study are also suggested.

贿赂犯罪的自首问题

贿赂犯罪存在行贿与受贿的对向性,因此司法机关对贿赂犯罪自首的认定上比较混乱.这种混乱出现的原因在于法律对自首本身规定的复杂性,以及检察机关与法院对自首标准的把握尺度不同:检察机关对贿赂犯罪当事人从宽适用自首,法院在认定自首的条件上严于检察机关.应当通过完善立法,打破行贿人与受贿人之间"相互信任"的关系,至少使一方主动交代犯罪事实,从而寻找到案件的突破口.
