Law Enforcement Lessons Learned from Hurricane Katrina

Major disasters represent infrequent events that often require response organizations to vicariously learn from the experiences of others in order to improve their operations. A primary mechanism for such knowledge diffusion is the different practitioner and empirical journals for the organizational fields that comprise disaster response. A review of the literature for the law enforcement field, however, reveals that little attention is given to how these organizations manage actual disasters. In particular, the presentation of organizational experiences, whether through case studies or other methodologies, is very limited in the practitioner and empirical literature of this field. This represents a considerable problem for improvements of disaster response operations given that law enforcement agencies represent a key component in such efforts. The research presented in this article is an effort to fill this knowledge gap and thereby facilitate organizational learning to improve future law enforcement disaster response activities. The authors traveled to Mississippi and Louisiana after Hurricane Katrina to examine the response efforts of state and local law enforcement agencies to the storm. The findings from this research are reported here in a lessons‐learned format to inform law enforcement disaster response policy.     

现代教育技术在教学应用中的问题与对策

从现代教育技术应用的现状来看,在如何认识应用现代教育技术、更新教育观念、创新教学模式,运用教育技术思想、方法来分析和处理教育、教学中的问题等方面还存在一定的问题。解决这些问题,要重视对教师进行现代教育技术应用的培训;在实际应用中注意借鉴国内外先进经验,加强对教学模式的探索和研究,从整体上改进教学结构;同时在教学中教师要有效地应用教育技术。     

Explaining Regulatory Non-compliance: A Survey Study of Rule Transgression for Two Dutch Instrumental Laws, Applying the Randomized Response Method

Within a rational choice framework, secondary data analysis of a survey study on compliance with two Dutch regulatory laws is carried out. Selection of explanatory variables to be considered is guided by a heuristic device, called the Table-of-Eleven. Using adapted logistic regression analysis, we show that self-reported compliance, measured by means of a randomized response procedure, can be explained in terms of benefits of non-compliance, social norms and deterrence, while knowledge and general norm-conformity have no role to play. The impact of various contributing factors turns out to be rather different in size for the two laws.     

我国食用油价格异常波动的成因与对策研究

一般认为，我国食用油市场价格异常波动的成因在于国际市场食用油价格的大幅波动以及食用油料非食用原料化的影响。但深层次的原因更在于长期以来重粮轻油的战略性失误，进而过度依赖国际市场食用油资源，酿成了我国食用油价格受制于国际市场食用油价格的被动局面。此外，现行食用油储备体制缺乏必要的应急应变功能，未能起到及时调控市场、稳定市场的积极作用。为确保食用油安全，应当坚定不移地立足国内，在统筹食用油生产发展的基础上，有利、有节、适度利用国际市场食用油资源平衡供求。与此同时，要深化储备油管理体制改革，切实提升宏观调控能力和水平，改善调控机制，有效稳定市场，保障民生。

Inclusive National Governance and Trafficked Women in Australia: Otherness and Local Demand

Trafficked women are used and consumed in different ways and by different users in Australia. They are used by the traffickers and by the consumer of the destination country. They are used as prosecutorial tools by the national criminal justice agents. They are used by the national politicians to pursue border control policy objectives and to be seen as abiding by international protocols. In all these uses, the identity of the trafficked woman is formed and shaped to fit the users’ need. However, these women’s otherness and abjection is constantly maintained and reinforced. They are used as a commodity. Meanwhile, the discussion on the demand side, and the consequent responsibility of the destination country, is virtually omitted. This paper will raise the question of how the socio-legal analysis and discourse would evolve if a literal interpretation of trafficking women as a commodity was taken into account, exploring an international trade approach. The social construction of trafficked women as a commodity has been identified and criticised by academic scholars, NGOs’ and UN’s rapporteurs. By pursuing this line of approach, the destination country is forced to take more responsibility for how the woman is demanded within its territory. As a consequence of this international trade approach, the State should deliver equality and non-discrimination. Rather than being a cynical application of a trade framework to trafficked women, this approach aims to highlight the paradox of such a situation in legal terms. It is highlighted that approaching trafficked women from this legal and jurisprudential way may offer more possibilities to expand their claims against the State. Currently, in Australia, when a trafficked woman is located by the State, she would attract limited and temporal rights, her being the ‘other’ as well as an abject entity remains, notwithstanding the fact the she was imported because there is a demand within the territory.     

论法律绩效评估回应之法律修改

法律绩效评估的回应机制，就是特定的国家机关针对法律绩效评估报告中提出来的问题，采取特定方式作出回复或反应的具体运作过程。法律绩效评估主体对法律绩效进行评估时，发现法律法规在实施过程中存在一些问题，而这些问题主要涉及法律本身存在的缺陷，因而针对这些缺陷提出了完善的建议。但是这些建议必须通过一定程序进入立法议程，并最后通过立法程序实现从“法律修正案”到“法律”的转变，只有这样才实现了法律绩效评估的真正目的。
