Curbing Corruption in India: An Impossible Dream?

This article analyses the serious problem of corruption in India by examining its causes and the various anti-corruption measures employed by the government from the formation in 1941 of the first anti-corruption agency, the Delhi Special Police Establishment, which was expanded to form the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in April 1963. India's ineffective anti-corruption strategy can be attributed to the lack of political will of its leaders and its unfavourable policy context, which has hindered the enforcement of the anti-corruption laws. The lack of political will in fighting corruption is manifested in the lowest per capita expenditure and least favourable staff-population ratio of the CBI when compared to those of its counterparts in Singapore, Hong Kong, South Korea and Thailand. To enhance the CBI's effectiveness, it should be removed from the jurisdiction of the police and be established as an independent agency dedicated solely to curbing corruption. The Constitution of India should also be amended to empower the CBI to investigate corruption cases at the state level without obtaining the consent of the chief minister of the state. In view of the lack of political will, this article concludes that curbing corruption in India remains an impossible dream in the foreseeable future.     

Assessment of country‐risk on the euromarkets

Recent years have seen several studies and proposals from national parliaments (NPs) to deepen their direct involvement in European decision-making, most notably by strengthening the early warning mechanism (EWM – also known as yellow card procedure). The EWM is a technical-legalistic procedure that is restricted to subsidiarity. This ‘straightjacket’ is too limited as a monitoring tool for European policies more broadly and can hardly be seen as a response to current democratic concerns. Framing the EWM as a democratic solution to empower NPs thus risks becoming one of Europe’s empty mantras.     

完善基层公安机关巡逻勤务的策略研究——以上海城市巡逻警务机制升级为例

城市治安巡逻工作是公安派出所日常的主要勤务工作,也是公安机关有效防范和打击犯罪的重要措施。为适应动态环境的治安需要,加强城市社会治安的动态管理,变革原有的城市治安工作机制成为了必然。为更好地适应上海城市现代警务机制的发展要求,有必要以上海公安派出所综合指挥室建设为契机,对基层公安机关目前的动态巡逻勤务机制进行升级与改良,以实施更加科学、合理、可操作的动态勤务模式。实践证明,要实现"实兵巡逻"与"视频巡逻"的完美结合和无缝互动,建立派出所综合指挥室是最直接、最有效的手段。     

审判权与审判管理权、审判监督权的关系重塑

合理构建审判权与审判管理权、审判监督权的关系,是审判权运行机制改革的关键问题。欲使这三种权力形成合理关系,需要根据审判权运行存在的问题,在客观评价法院科层化组织结构与法院内部复合化权力构造以及院、庭长职权配置的基础上,从制度层面严格区分法院组织的行政逻辑与司法逻辑,进一步明确审判管理权与审判监督权的权限定位,完善其职权范围与行权程序,并构建审判权反向制约审判管理权与审判监督权的相关机制。唯有如此,才可能构建出合理的审判权与审判管理权、审判监督权的关系。     

对构建我国刑诉法中非法证据排除规则的思考

构建我国刑诉法中的非法证据排除规则要以我国的现有法律体系为根基。文章通过对我国现有法律体系的考察,提出了构建我国刑诉中非法证据排除规则的合理设想及其自身良性运行机制的完善。     

市民社会视野下的社区民警绩效评估机制

市民社会为社区民警的绩效评估提供了一种新的理论分析视角。目前我国社区民警的绩效考核在考核主体、考核内容、考核程序、考核结果的运用等考核体系中存在种种问题。用市民社会理论对社区民警绩效考核评估问题进行分析,从理论上讲,符合未来警务机制、政治体制乃至整个社会机制改革的要求;从实践上讲,也更符合当前中国社会所提倡的“以人为本”的执政理念,从而进一步加快社区民．擎缔蔚评估工作的拼程．     

社会安全视野中的非营利组织

我国已开始进入一个高风险的社会发展时期,从社会安全角度研究非营利组织具有重要的意义。实践证明,民间组织已经成为党和政府联系人民群众的桥梁和纽带,成为推进国家现代化建设的一支重要力量。传统的社会安全管理模式不但不能从根本上解决冲突的问题,反而容易使矛盾激化。社会冲突论为非营利组织研究提供了理论空间。在西方发达国家,非营利组织与政府共同构成了应对社会安全危机的组织力量。我们可以通过建立社会预警、利益表达、协商沟通和救济救助机制,使非营利组织参与社会安全领域发挥其积极作用。     

论公安刑侦改革的深入

侦审一体化后,刑侦改革进一步深化的障碍,是其队伍素质难以达到公正司法所需侦办质量的要求.建立公平竞争的选人用人机制,又需要其它周边环境的逐步改善,难以一蹴而就.提高刑警素质应综合施力,将之融入改革大环境,以促进整个刑侦改革的深入.     

柴胡疏肝散对体外静脉收缩的作用及其机制研究

目的 观察柴胡疏肝散对体外静脉环的收缩作用,探讨其作用机制。方法 选取人曲张大隐静脉及脐静脉血管环,采用微血管张力测定技术,以5-羟色胺、乙酰胆碱检测血管环内皮功能。依次由低至高加入不同浓度的柴胡疏肝散,测定曲张大隐静脉及脐静脉张力变化。用L-钙通道阻滞剂硝苯地平预处理后,测定不同浓度的柴胡疏肝散作用下曲张大隐静脉张力变化。结果 地奥司明对体外静脉无明显收缩作用;柴胡疏肝散能直接引起体外曲张大隐静脉及脐静脉收缩,呈一定剂量依赖性,其中脐静脉收缩幅度更大;硝苯地平可抑制柴胡疏肝散对体外曲张大隐静脉的收缩作用。结论 柴胡疏肝散能收缩体外静脉,其机制与促进细胞外钙内流有关。
