Comparing Self-Reports and Official Records of Arrests

We compared measures of self-reported arrests and official arrests for 676young adults with a history of child abuse and/or neglect and 520 nonabusedand nonneglected controls matched on age, sex, race, and approximate familysocial class. Findings reveal considerable concurrent validity between thetwo sources overall. But there is also evidence of differences by gender,race/ethnicity, age at time of arrest, conviction status, and type ofoffense. Abused and neglected subjects did not appear to differ from thecontrol group in the extent of underreporting of known offenses, however,the groups did differ in the degree of positive bias—offensesnot found in arrest records. Abused/neglected subjects self-reportedproportionately more offenses not known to police compared to controls. Thisresult suggests that findings from previous studies on the relationshipbetween childhood victimization and later criminality, as measured byarrests, may have underestimated the magnitude of this relationship.     

Success and Failure in Environment Policy: The Role of Policy Officials

This paper reports on interviews conducted between 2010 and 2013 with senior officials involved in Australian federal environmental policies over the past 30 years. It examines whether they have a prior sense of whether an environment policy is likely to succeed and their experience of the key factors driving environment policy success. Most interviewees claimed a strong prior sense of policy outcomes, but their expression of the key factors indicating success (consultation, clear objectives, a clear mandate, and a strong evidence base) varies from the usual emphases found in the public policy literature. The research illuminates the ways in which the policy officials at times exert a greater role than that suggested by the Westminster conventions or the policy theory literature. Not emphasised in the literature, yet pivotal for success in the vexed space of environmental policy, was the self‐directed yet at times skilful policy ‘agency’ exhibited by officials.

控制职务犯罪的组织战略

近年来,世界范围内控制职务犯罪的组织战略出现由倚重惩治到全面控制贪污贿赂犯罪、由单纯控制犯罪到维护公平和正义、由单纯控制犯罪到促进人类社会和谐发展的三个发展方向.当前中国检察机关在这三个方面尚有不足,基于此,中国检察机关控制职务犯罪要立足于预防和惩治贪污贿赂犯罪均衡化,全面维护公平和正义,并且以服务人类社会和谐发展为己任.     

United in diversity? Analysing behaviour expectations of the European Union as a non-state member of the OECD’s development assistance committee

The European Union (EU) frequently accentuates its position as the largest provider of Official Development Assistance (ODA). Together with the EU institutions, EU Member States represent 21 of the 30 members of the OECD’s Development Assistance Committee (DAC) that sets out rules and standards for what can be reported as ODA. Following the EU Treaty’s requirement for the EU to work together in international organisations, research has detected a tentative yet positive trend to this end in different international organisations (IOs). This article’s empirical analysis shows no such trend can be detected in the EU’s engagement in the DAC. Explanatory factors include divergent development cooperation approaches inside the EU, discrepancies between the established image of and everyday practice in the DAC, and the EU’s full DAC membership. The findings add to the literature on international organisation governance by exploring different behaviour expectations of non-state membership vis-à-vis that of states.     

Civil Society Organizations in a Post‐Aid World: New Trends and Observations from the Andean Region

The objective of this article is to outline approaches taken by civil society organizations (CSOs) in order to advance their work in social development given the changes in the aid architecture. It focuses on the Latin American region, particularly Andean countries, but many of the challenges and opportunities in a “post‐aid world” are insights that might prove helpful to other regions as well. The article provides a comprehensive outline of approaches that CSOs are taking given the changes in aid grouped into three categories: aid models, organizational considerations and revenue sources and modes of fundraising. Many of these have been in practice for sometime but might need to be more strategically used as CSOs manage the changing contexts. CSOs in Latin America and the Andes are considering a multitude of options, and while the approaches considered in the article are not an exhaustive list, they provide an overview of viable directions, which might positively influence CSOs' sustainability and continued provision and promotion of a myriad of public goods and services. The article ends with observations about aid shifts and its implications for CSOs and social development more broadly. Copyright © 2017 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

论中国政府间关系的现状、趋势和调整的路径选择

改革开放之前,由于实行高度集权的计划体制,我国政府间关系呈现出高度一体化的等级控制模式。当前,我国政府间关系已经在不少方面显示出了网络模式的特征,但在总体上并没有摆脱传统等级制模式的影响。我国政府间关系的调整已经势在必行。     

论我国公务员范围的拓展

我国<公务员法>的颁布具有重大的现实意义和时代导向性.其中,交流与回避制度的精细化、申诉制度的进一步完善、聘任制的确立以及下级对上级说"不"的制度安排,都成为人们赞许和圈点的理由.不过,<公务员法>调整范围的拓展,即公务员的泛化与非专业化,却有违分类管理的发展趋势和时代要求,也必将引发理论上的无谓纷争和现实中的执法混乱.因此,针对该问题展开比较法、行政法、宪法以及立法目的意义上的学术反思,不但有利于公务员制度自身的完善与良性发展,而且必将会对我国时下的宪政改革和法治建设提供智识支持.
