Trends in police research: a cross-sectional analysis of the 2010-2014 literature

ABSTRACT

This review provides a cross-sectional analysis of the police literature for years 2000 to 2014. It represents the ninth special feature review of police research published in Police Practice and Research: An International Journal. The study reports on trends over time in police literature according to substantive categories, publication medium, and methodological typology. The study also relies on findings from prior police research reviews as a basis for a discussion of the long-term patterns of police research over time from 2000 to 2014. A topically organized bibliography of the 2010 to 2014 police literature reviewed is also provided.     

Ten key developments in modern policing: an Australian perspective

In this paper we endeavour to isolate the top ten innovations and developments that have occurred in policing in the last thirty years. We consider that each of them brought about a new mindset, pattern or trend into contemporary police practice. We have focused our attention on the last thirty years because it is during this time that we have both maintained a keen academic interest in the field. While we have focused our attention on the way in which each has affected Australian policing, we are cognisant of the fact that many of them had their roots in other settings long before Australian policy-makers adopted or adapted them.     

Munchausen by Proxy: A Qualitative Investigation into Online Perceptions of Medical Child Abuse

In Munchausen by proxy (MBP) maltreatment, increasingly termed “medical child abuse” (MCA), a caregiver fabricates or induces illness in another. The perpetrator's goal for the behavior is to meet personal emotional needs by forcing unnecessary or misguided medical or psychological treatment. Generally, a mother is the perpetrator and her child is the victim. There is a serious lack of research into most aspects of MCA, and this study is the first to utilize the anonymity of an Internet forum to investigate victims' first‐hand experiences of, and the public's opinions about, suspected and confirmed MCA. Three‐hundred and fifty‐six posts by 348 members were explored and coded using formal qualitative content analysis. By accessing an open‐thought online forum, this paper acquired information regarding social perceptions about the nonperpetrating partners who are unaware of the maltreatment; the disturbing and counterintuitive phenomenon of MCA itself; and the resistance often faced by those who attempt to report it.     

侦查学研究现状评析--《侦查论坛》1-3卷论文引证情况和研究方法之分析

对三卷《侦查论坛》所刊载的三年全国侦查学术会议的参会论文的引证资料和侦查学研究群体的研究方法的分析,可以发现当前侦查学理论研究中存在着过于关注价值论意义上的形而上的理论问题,忽视认识论上的形而下的侦查实践问题研究的倾向。侦查学研究群体在知识结构上存在着对自然科学知识的欠缺,在研究方法上过多的依赖于理性思辨而缺乏实证性调查研究。侦查学理论研究之于侦查实践的意义, 就在于能够为实践提供指导,特别是能够为侦查实践部门如何提高侦查能力带来帮助。

论创新思维的静动结合

对创新思维的自觉把握,主要体现在对准备条件和动力系统两方面的把握。创新思维准备主要包括心理素质、知识结构、 创新意识等子系统;创新思雏的推动力有目的动力、观念动力与信息动力。静态与动态的结合,使创新思维成为现实。     

现代行政诉讼法学的基本品格及其构建

现代社会的要求和司法改革的价值目标向我国现行行政诉讼法制及其赖以建构的理论基础和框架提出了全方位的挑战,构建符合时代要求的现代行政诉讼法学已势在必行。现代行政诉讼法学应是知识之学、智慧之学、精神之学;现代行政诉讼学的构建需要扩展行政诉讼法学的研究视域、更新行政诉讼法学的研究方法。     

历史民族学多学科整合研究规范的初步探索--以史载"佯黄"族属考辨为例

对于跨民族史料的梳理和应用 ,前人多从史学的角度进行探索研究。由于史料的性质所限 ,往往会遇到许多难以克服的障碍 ;而运用多学科整合研究 ,立足于历史民族学的理论视野 ,用史学、语言学、民族学相结合的方法 ,则可拓宽视野、更新思路 ,以此对历史上“佯黄”的共时态状况和历时态演化脉络进行分析 ,可以证明 :明代以前的“佯黄”是一个多民族集合称谓 ,而清代和当代所称的“佯黄”则是指毛南族的一个支系。     

找国高等职业教育的现状与发展

在"十五"期间,我国的产业结构有了重大调整,加入WTO以后,社会经济对外开放的步伐也进一步加快。在这种形势下,高等职业教育既暴露出很多的不适应性,也面临着难得的发展机遇。因而,要通过政府统筹对高等职业教育进行多方面的改革,为社会培养面向生产、服务和管理第一线的实用型、技能型人才。     

陕西房地产业发展研究

早在上世纪90年代,我国已把房地产业正式确定为国民经济发展的新的增长点和居民消费的热点,特别是“国务院18号文件”,进一步将房地产业确定为国民经济的支柱产业。但就陕西而言,在2003年确定的八大支柱产业中,房地产业未列入其中。因此,研究陕西房地产业现状,分析陕西房地产业的优势与劣势,探寻陕西房地产业的发展之路,具有重要的现实意义。
