公安机关执法"黑洞"的解读及遏制对策

当前公安机关执法活动中存在不少问题,可称之为执法"黑洞".主要有四类表现执法程序上的随意性;执法手段上的违法性;执法裁定上的主观性;执法形象上的趋劣性.究其原因不外乎四种因素传统观念的影响;外界压力的左右;激励约束的缺失以及整体素质的不均衡.执法"黑洞"的存在,严重影响公安机关乃至党和政府的形象,制约了公安机关职能的充分发挥,必须采取过硬措施予以遏制.     

认真实践"三个代表"重要思想不断开创公安工作的新局面

贯穿江泽民同志"七一"重要讲话全篇核心主题是"三个代表"重要思想,其每一方面都同公安工作紧密相联,它既是公安工作必须坚持的总的指导思想、工作目标和要求,也是检验和衡量各项工作成败得失的标准.实践"三个代表"重要思想,必须同公安工作实际相结合,按"三个代表"的要求,调整工作思想,从改进和加强公安行政管理;充分发挥职能作用;增强公安工作的针对性和实效性;锐意创新,永葆公安工作的生机和活力;建设一支为党掌权、为民执法,具有较高整体素质和坚强战斗力的公安队伍几方面认真落实.只有将"三个代表"的重要思想落实到公安工作的各个方面、各个环节,才能使公安工作沿着正确的政治方向前进,适应新形势,迎接新挑战,完成新任务.     

继续开展执法质量评估考核活动推进全省公安机关严格公正文明执法

在全国公安机关开展“三项教育”活动 ,将严格公正文明执法作为重要内容之一 ,具有较强的针对性 ,意义深远。在总结1999年对全省县级公安机关执法质量评估考核工作经验的基础上 ,省厅及各地州市公安局又精心组织了对 2 0 0 0年全省 12 8个县 (市 )公安局执法质量进行评估考核活动 ,较客观地反映出各级公安机关的执法状况、存在的主要问题及原因 ,研究制定了对策 ,达到了预期目的。     

实践"三个代表"确保一方平安

"三个代表"是新时期公安工作的行动指南.公安机关要实践"三个代表",必须从根本上转变工作作风,必须严厉打击刑事犯罪活动,必须大力夯实基层基础工作,逐步提高"保一方平安"的水平和能力,始终成为保护人民利益的最忠实代表.     

新形势下治安管理社会化的新探索

组织和发动群众参与治安工作,是我国公安工作的特色和优势所在,是适应治安形势变化、改变群防群治弱化状态、缓解治安管理任务繁重与警力不足的需要.可采取聘用"联防钟点工",吸引群众直接参与治安工作;将现有的专职联防队逐步过渡到理顺体制的保安队,改善群防群治队伍的成员结构,提高治安管理辅助力量的个体素质等措施,以提高整个治安主体的战斗力.     

改革是公安工作发展的动力

改革是社会主义发展的根本动力,也是推动公安工作发展的动力.当前,公安机关在体制、执法、素质等方面存在很多制约公安工作发展的问题.对此,必须以江泽民同志"三个代表"重要思想为指导,通过深化公安改革来解决,这就要建立"条块结合、以条为主"的公安管理体制、完善的公安执法机制、有利于提高民警素质的教育培训机制.     

关于社会救济立法的思考

现代社会保障制度的建立、形成和普遍发展,是社会文明进步的一种表现,但是我国目前所采用的福利型社会保障制度由于缺少必要的经济基础作保障而显得步履维艰。因此,积极建立以社会救济制度为核心内容的新型社会保障法律体系已是必然。     

Urban Change and Policing: Mass Private Property Re-considered

This article examines a key explanation for the growth of private policing in North America and Western Europe - the influential mass private property thesis (Shearing and Stenning 1981). The discussion of private policing in Western Europe still tends to be heavily influenced by theories developed in the North American context, theories which may be problematic in the contrasting legal, social and economic contexts of Western European nations. The development of more Eurocentric theories has to date been inhibited by the relative paucity of empirical data on the rise of private policing in European countries. Recent research in Britain (Jones and Newburn 1998b) has begun to address this problem, and to map out some important contrasts with the North American experience. By considering these contrasts, it is possible to identify some key areas for future research on private policing in European countries and thus provide a more contextually-grounded series of explanations for what is happening to policing.Joseph Rowntree Foundation Professor of Urban Social Policy     

Private Policing in Context

This article considers the development, growth and significance of private policing in a wider context. Section one suggests that the rebirth of private policing is associated with - and, in effect, demands - a change in the conceptual framework with which policing is analysed. While section one addresses the conceptual context of private policing, section two examines its theoretical context by considering various explanations for the post-war growth of commercial security. Moving from specific to general accounts, it is suggested that two explanations - one based upon sociological accounts of the development of modern societies, the other on genealogical accounts of developing mentalities - provide a crucial context for understanding contemporary changes in policing and governance. In the next section, two of these changes - the growing influence of risk-based policing and the increasing significance of diverse patterns of governance - are considered in the context of the fragmented forms of security provision (commercial, municipal, civil and state policing) which are prevalent today. A short concluding section offers some final thoughts on how these arguments impact on the governance of policing. One of the implications contained in this article is that the re-emergence of private policing needs to be considered not only as a problem, but also as an opportunity to identify and address critical questions of contemporary governance.
