The Electoral Success of Beauties and Beasts

Les prises de positions, les programmes politiques ou encore les résultats précédents des candidats et des partis n'expliquent que partiellement leur succès électoral. D'autres mécanismes, plus simples, jouent aussi un rôle. Dans cet article, nous explorons l'influence de l'attractivité physique sur le nombre de votes de préférence reçus par 744 candidats à l’élection au Conseil national en Suisse en 2007. Le système électoral suisse de scrutin proportionnel avec liste ouverte offre une excellente opportunité d’étudier de tels effets, car les électeurs ne choisissent pas simplement entre partis ou entre candidats, mais également entre candidats au sein du même parti. Nous démontrons un effet robuste de l'attractivité physique sur le nombre de votes de préférence reçus par un candidat. L'effet est aussi important pour les femmes que pour les hommes. Cette influence de l'attractivité est essentiellement liée au fait que les candidats attractifs ont une plus grande probabilité d’être remarqués.     

Changing Control of the Open Drug Scenes in Oslo— Crime,Welfare, Immigration Control,or a Combination?

Over the last few years there has been a societal move away from a perception of drug users as criminals to a perception of the users as sick. Contrary to what one may expect from such a change, reported drug crimes against the penal code are at record-high levels. It is the contradictory inherent in these tendencies that will be emphasized and highlighted in this article. The open drug scenes in Oslo and the police control of the scenes have changed. During the last few years there has been a growing element of foreign citizens in the drug scenes, and the police control has focused on the foreigners. Could part of the explanation of the contradictions be that there is a differentiation of how the different users are handled? Are there different forms of social control employed toward Norwegian and foreign actors in the open drug scenes? This article puts forward arguments that this is actually the case, driven by a consistent association of foreign actors in the drug scene with organized crime, and a stricter Norwegian legislation and approach to immigration questions, with a tendency toward a conflation of immigration and criminal law.

‘The Open Church’ and ‘the Closed Church’ and the discourse on Jews in Poland between 1989 and 2000

This paper analyzes the attitudes of the Roman Catholic Church in Poland towards the Jews and anti-Semitism during the first decade since the political transformation of 1989–1990. After discussing briefly the main patterns of the development of the Roman Catholic Church in Poland in the modern era I examine two opposing positions within the institutionalized Roman Catholic Church — the ‘Open Church’ and the ‘Closed Church’ — that emerged in the aftermath of Poland's regaining full sovereignty in 1989. The ‘Open Church’ and the ‘Closed Church’ represent opposite views on the role of the church in society and on the dialogue with Jews and Judaism and on anti-Semitism.The ‘Open Church’ is a relatively recent phenomenon that originated in the circles of the layman progressive Catholic intelligentsia in the post-1945 period. It is the first visible formation within Roman Catholic Church in Poland, which advocates dialogue with Jews and Judaism and is engaged in the eradication of anti-Semitic attitudes. The ‘Closed Church,’ which represents the formation of the ‘besieged fortress’ was historically strongly intertwined with the exclusivist ethno-nationalistic political movement of the National Democracy. The remnants of this fusion were still visible in the statements of high rank clergy in the 1990s and early 2000. This formation ignores the concept of the dialogue with Jews and Judaism advocated by Pope John Paul II and among its supporters there are still many holders of anti-Semitic views. The paper provides various examples of anti-Semitic occurrences and pronouncements of the 1990s and it discusses various initiatives aimed at the facilitating dialogue between Christians and Jews introduced by the members of the ‘Open Church’ in the 1990s. It assess the importance of the ‘Open Church’ in the eradication of anti-Semitic views and the extent of the influence of the ‘Closed Church’ on both the clergy and Catholic community at large.     

打击贩毒活动的措施研究

依法严厉打击贩毒活动,是遏制毒品流通渠道最直接、最有效的措施。禁毒侦查部门打击贩毒活动的措施和方法很多,概括起来有两种,即公开查缉与专案侦查。公开查缉与专案侦查在打击贩毒活动中都能发挥重要作用,同时也存在各自的局限性。公开查缉与专案侦查可以互相转化。实际工作中,为了有力打击贩毒活动,侦查人员要树立强烈的案件延伸意识。

论我国建立政府公开制度的基础

政府公开制度是政府权力的行使及其掌控的信息向利害关系人和社会公开的法律制度。它建立在人民主权、知情权、服务行政、形式法治等理论基础上，是民主发展和信息社会的要求、是建设法治政府和公民权利保护的必然体现、是我国履行形册规则的国际义务。政府公开在我国已经有了初步的制度实践,但我国建立政府公开制度还需要一个漫长的过程。

农村公安派出所推进社区警务工作的困惑与出路

随着第四次修宪的完成,国家根本大法确立了人权保障的理念。而作为人权重要组成部分的知情权也随之深入民心。作为公安机关,重提警务公开尤其重要。但目前的警务公开由于理论依据尚不成熟,导致实践中没有相关的制度或措施保证,出现了警务公开表面化的现象,成为警务公开活动的发展“瓶颈”。以经济学的相关理论为依据,提出警务公开行为不是公安机关的单方垄断,警察个体行为的代理失灵与公众监督的机会主义倾向的互动博弈才是警务公开困境存在的核心问题。因此,深化警务公开应加强信息透明和信息公开制度。
