以社会管理创新促进公共服务型政府建设

社会管理创新是我国经济社会发展到新阶段的战略性任务,转变政府职能,建设公共服务型政府是社会管理创新的基本前提。本文分析了社会管理创新实践中政府转型的必要性,明晰了政府转型的两条主线,并对建设公共服务型政府的着力点进行了探讨和论证。     

和谐社会视角下城乡公共服务均等化中地方政府职能分析

现代经济发展和社会进步要求政府为社会提供均等化的基本公共服务。而我国传统的城市偏向型基本公共服务供给制度导致了城乡公共服务的非均等化和城乡关系的不和谐,由此产生了农村基本公共服务供给短缺、供给成本分担不合理、供给决策机制不规范、收益分享不公平等诸多问题。本文以地方政府职能为切入点,从优化地方政府职能,建立城乡统筹的基本公共服务供给制度的角度进行探讨,以期为实现城乡基本公共服务均等化提供参考。     

传统中国社会服务的心性基础与组织载体

心性秩序与组织结构是社会理论基本的内在/外在视角。本文试图从这一内外视角来阐述传统中国的社会服务机制。传统中国的人的本质是以亲亲为核心的伦理总体,这是社会团结的总体机制,也是社会服务的心性基础。据此阐述了与之对应的以家庭为主要组织载体,以宗族、宗教组织、政府专业机构与民间志愿团体为补充的社会服务组织结构。通过对传统中国社会服务的反思,为转型时期的中国构建合适的社会服务体系提供参考。     

西部农村地区法律服务问题研究

近年来,随着中国经济社会转型不断加快,农村地区尤其是西部农村地区的各类纠纷正呈现多样化的趋势,农村地区对优质法律服务的需求也日益紧迫。然而,由于我国西部农村地区的法律服务保障被长期忽视,实践中存在着法律服务供给与需求之间矛盾突出、法律服务机构执业混乱以及法律服务质量低下的问题,这不仅严重制约了法律服务的健康发展,也损害了当地民众获得司法服务的权利。为此,有必要通过完善有关法律服务的立法、加强公共财政投入以及明确法律服务市场监管机制等方式,确保西部农村地区的法律服务业健康有序发展。     

基于工作价值观的公共科技服务员工激励探析

本文基于调研数据分析了公共科技服务员工工作价值观的新特点,探讨了运用复杂适应系统理论研究公共科技服务员工激励问题的可行性;同时,采用自适应神经模糊推理系统(ANFIS)方法建立了基于工作价值观的公共科技服务员工激励决策模型,该模型对研究公共科技服务员工工作价值观激励具有良好效果。本研究采用实证研究方法分析了不同激励方案对提高员工绩效的效果差异,从而对模型的有效性进行了验证。本研究成果可以为国家制定公共科技服务员工激励政策提供决策支持。     

社区为老服务的法律保障

人口老龄化对老年社会工作提出了严峻的挑战,老年社会工作主要涉及老年人的经济保障和服务保障。老年社会服务作为老年社会保障的重要组成部分,是解决老年人特殊需求、维护老年人权益的关键环节。为老服务要适应社会主义市场经济体制的发展,应由家庭服务向社区服务过渡。社区为老服务要植根于对现实发展趋势的正确估计和现有法律政策的不断完善。实行服务保障就需将社区为老服务纳入法律调整范围,逐步实现社区为老服务保障的法制化。     

Working with personality disordered women in secure care: the challenge of gender-based service delivery

Abstract

Working with women in secure services is an infrequent subject of research and discussion in the forensic mental health literature. There are several reasons for this, which will be considered in the introduction to this paper. However, a consequence of this situation is that there remains a lack of clarity in key areas of practice in relation to working with women in secure services, and working with women with personality disorder specifically: how women with personality disorder may present in secure services compared to men, therefore, the particular skills required of the practitioners who work with women and the main design features of the services within which they are managed. The body of this paper attempts to summarise important issues in each of these areas in order to inform future debate and developments in the field.     

Evaluating the Long-Term Effects of Prisoner Reentry Services on Recidivism: What Types of Services Matter?

We analyzed data collected for a large multi-site evaluation of 12 prisoner reentry programs in 12 states to examine the impact of pre-release services on time to rearrest and number of rearrests up to 56 months post-release for male offenders. A two-stage matching quasi-experimental design was used to define the comparison groups and multivariate models were used to examine the relationships among service and program receipt and recidivism. Participation in the reentry program was associated with longer time to arrest and fewer arrests after release. However, the specific services delivered as part of the program showed modest or inconsistent impacts on recidivism. Services that focused on individual change were more beneficial than services that focused on practical skills and needs. Practitioners should consider careful sequencing of program and service delivery in prison, linking in-prison services to post-release assistance, and evaluating all services and programs for fidelity and effectiveness.     

Police services detention centres: a proposed solution for action

Police services face daily challenges dealing with the health issues displayed by individuals in their custody. They often find themselves isolated from the services that can help the most. This paper scopes relevant literature on these challenges and some of the interprofessional interventions which have emerged to address them, such as the diversionary practices of crisis intervention teams, street triage, nurses in custody suites, and court liaison and diversion. Remote presence technology is proposed to be an innovative solution that can help to provide more efficient and effective pathways for care in Police Detention Centres. Remote presence technology has the ability to significantly affect the way interprofessional collaboration can take place for those in police custody.
