The ‘Code of Silence’: Are Self‐Report Surveys a Viable Means for Studying Police Misconducts?

Police misconducts have very rarely been studied by the self‐report method because it is assumed that the ‘code of silence’ is too hard to break even in an anonymous survey research situation. In this study a self‐report method was carried out in a police unit in Finland. Respondents were shown a list of 16 possible conducts. They were asked whether they knew a police officer who had been engaged in misconduct mentioned in the list or whether they themselves had engaged in one or more of the misconducts mentioned in the list. The analysis results indicated that, in an anonymous self‐report survey context, police officers are clearly willing to report on service misconducts, both their own and those of their fellow officers. Thus, the assumed ‘code of silence’ does not seem as strong as the literature suggests.     

‘The Sweet Taste of Sin’—A Muslim Drug Dealer in a Nordic Welfare State

Moa is a 22-year-old Muslim dealer selling drugs at a street drug market in Oslo. The main part of the paper consists of long interview extracts from three interviews with him. The aim is to capture some of the ambivalence and complexity that might otherwise be lost in traditional scholarly analysis. In short, Moa tells how he got into drug dealing in the first place, the help he received from a well-meaning welfare state apparatus, his feelings of remorse, guilt, and shame, and the attempts he made to break with the drug trade and its life-style. Moa's story highlights differences between street life in a benevolent welfare state with a penal system famous for its open-handedness, and street life under harder socio-economic and penal conditions. Even though Moa has more opportunities than offenders elsewhere, failing in a society where most others succeed is different from failing in a larger marginalized community. Moa's story also challenges the public view of Muslim offenders and questions established assumptions about the relationship between Islam and crime.

参与式调解在处置家庭暴力冲突中的思考

国家公权力介入家庭领域,尽管有缺陷,但总体上我国司法机关对家庭暴力进行干预具有非常重要的正当性。文章探讨了参与式调解的理念、方法及程序设定对家庭暴力冲突处置的有效性,符合现代警务发展趋势。同时认为,这一处置模式在构建和谐社会中具有重要实践意义。     

Foucault,epistemology and history

This paper explores the way in which Michel Foucault utilized, re-worked and applied, in the field of the analysis of epistemological transformations, certain concepts from the history of the sciences that had been deployed the Bachelard and Canguilhem. More particularly, the paper focuses attention, on the one hand, upon the distinction between the present and the actual, from which derives the question of ‘recurrence’, and, on the other, on the idea of games of the true and the false.     

基于云服务平台的公安院校图书馆特色资源建设

随着数字资源形式多样和容量增大等诸多因素影响,传统的图书馆数字资源建设模式已经不能满足公安院校图书馆特色资源建设的需要,共建和共享数字资源成为公安院校图书馆资源保障体系的建设目标。云服务平台的每一层都是基于相应的云计算服务且实现相应的数字图书馆服务,主要由大量的分布式异构虚拟计算资源构成,而且多个计算节点共用数据和资源,整个环境节点可以协同工作、互相提供信息资源服务。因此,研究云服务平台环境下的公安院校图书馆特色资源建设方法将具有重要的实际意义。     

基于灰色关联分析的中国制造行业财务环境绩效评价

该文采用灰色关联分析和熵权法对中国制造业26个子行业2007—2011年的财务环境绩效进行了评价研究。研究表明,中国各制造行业的财务环境绩效差距较大,且轻工制造业的绩效总体优于重工制造业。通过进一步作静态和动态分析,并对各影响因素的重要性进行比较,认为先保护后生产或是治理与生产共进的做法比先污染后治理的做法更有利于提高财务环境绩效,为此,主要应从节能和减排做两方面做起。     

Modelling and refinement of forensic data acquisition specifications

This paper defines a model of a special type of digital forensics tools, known as data acquisition tools, using the formal refinement language Event-B. The complexity and criticality of many types of computer and Cyber crime nowadays combined with improper or incorrect use of digital forensic tools calls for more robust and reliable specifications of the functionality of digital forensics applications. As a minimum, the evidence produced by such tools must meet the minimum admissibility standards the legal system requires, in general implying that it must be generated from reliable and robust tools. Despite the fact that some research and effort has been spent on the validation of digital forensics tools by means of testing, the verification of such tools and the formal specification of their expected behaviour remains largely under-researched. The goal of this work is to provide a formal specification against which implementations of data acquisition procedures can be analysed.
