Fatal Injuries of Law Enforcement/Correctional Officers Attacked with Sharp‐Edged Weapons,

According to the National Law Enforcement Memorial Fund, there were 117 law enforcement fatalities in the United States in 2015. Assaults with sharp‐edged weapons have resulted in a total of over 400 fatalities in the United States. The goal of the current research was to examine sharp‐edged weapon assaults against law enforcement and correctional agents that resulted in a fatal outcome. A total of twelve autopsy reports were reviewed from across the United States. Four cases involved law enforcement officers, seven involved correctional officers, and one was an off‐duty border officer. The male‐to‐female ratio was 11:1. A total of 70.2% of the wounds analyzed were stab wounds (n = 85), and 29.8% of the wounds were slash wounds (n = 36). Based on this review, the neck, shoulder, and chest regions were the most vulnerable to single fatal stab/slash wounds. Multiple stab/slash wounds often resulted in exsanguination. The use of body armor was only noted in one case.     

Human trafficking and police governance

Abstract

Human trafficking in its various forms continues to offer significant challenges for law enforcement agencies. There is a growing body of research that addresses some of the police governance and management issues associated with the prevention and control of human trafficking and the protection of victims of this type of crime. This article reviews the literature on the implementation of effective detection, investigation, prosecution, and victim protection strategies; the need for more effective international cooperation; and, the struggle to keep up with the illusive criminal organizations and networks that often defy law enforcement tactics. It also considers some of the specific challenges that result from the frequent conflation of human trafficking enforcement with immigration control strategies. It offers a few suggestions on how these issues may be addressed from a police governance standpoint and concludes with a call for better data on human trafficking and the relative effectiveness of different law enforcement strategies.     

Tribal law enforcement authority to enforce state laws

This paper summarizes the current status of the ability of tribal law enforcement officers to enforce state law in all states that have Indian country – defined in 18 U.S.C. § 1151 as any Indian reservation, dependent Indian communities, or Indian allotments – within their borders. It is important to understand the current status of those officers as their agencies look to improve public safety in their nations. First, for context, we provide a brief background on tribes and tribal law enforcement. Then, we present a summary of the legal jurisdictional challenges faced by tribal law enforcement. Finally, we analyze the current status of tribal law enforcement officers in each state and conclude with a summary and concluding remarks.

浙江永康行政执法检察备案机制评析

浙江永康行政执法资料移送检察机关备案机制,一方面发挥了十分积极的作用,能够有效预防职务犯罪,有利于更好地进行职务犯罪的侦查起诉工作,有利于更好地开展刑事立案监督工作等;另一方面,该机制在法律上由于缺乏明确依据,在理论支撑和制度保障等方面尚需进一步探讨.     

宪政视野下公安行政执法工作亟待澄清的若干问题研究

在宪政视野关注下,公安机关在考虑严格执法,保障法律秩序的同时,更应树立以人为本的理念,始终把公民权利的保障放在根本位置上考虑。严格执法的终极目的就是保障宪法赋予每一个公民的基本权利不受非法侵害。以以上理念作为标准考察,当前公安机关的执法工作中表现出很多的不适应,许多问题亟待澄清。从实体上讲,提高执法质量的关键是增强基层实战民警的证据合法性意识,而不是证据意识。从程序上讲,规范执法行为的前提是树立正确的程序规范化意识,而不是程序意识。最大限度地保证公民权利不受侵犯,首要的是加强事前监督,而不是事后救济。当前公安法制工作的着重点应当是大力加强内部执法监督的法制化建设和建立主动接受监督机制,而不是制定大量的操作性执法规范和被动地接受外部监督。     

浅谈行政执法中投诉较多的原因及减少投诉之对策

我国法律、法规80%以上都要由行政机关来执行,行政机关的执法活动不仅直接代表了政府的形象,而且直接关系到行政管理相对人的切身利益,关系到国家的长治久安,意义极其重大。近年来,由于各种原因,行政管理相对人对行政机关的行政执法活动投诉较多,引起这种现象的既有执法理念的原因,也有执法者法律素质不高导致法律适用不当的原因,等等。减少这一问题需要从观念转变、增强法律素质、完善监督体制、加强责任追究、行政追偿和加大普法力度等方面入手。     

公安机关执法质量评价指标体系与综合评价方法

公安机关执法质量是公安工作的生命线。公安机关执法质量包括过程质量与结果质量,执法质量的影响因素分为民警队伍素质与执法意识、执法管理与培训、执法环境与执法结果。执法质量的评价指标体系应从上述五个方面建立并采用综合评价的方法进行,以保证评价结果的可信度。
