Black Cities/White Cities: Evaluating the Police

It is well known that African Americans and whites hold different views of the police, but nearly all of the previous research has been conducted in majority white settings. This research examines the relationship between race and evaluations of the police in majority black versus majority white contexts. Social dominance theory and the research on racial threat predict that when the racial majority changes, the relationship between race and attitudes toward police will change. We find that, in majority black contexts, the traditional relationship between being black and having negative evaluations of the police disappears, and it disappears because whites' evaluations of the police become more negative. Black evaluations of the police are relatively consistent across racial contexts. Also, white racial attitudes affect police evaluations in majority black contexts, but not in white contexts, while African American racial attitudes are inconsequential in both contexts. Furthermore, if a white citizen is victimized by crime in a black city, it has greater ramifications for evaluations of the police than if the victimization had occurred in a white city. All of this suggests that whites' views of the police may be more racialized than the views of African Americans.     

社区治理框架中的居民参与问题：一项反思性的考察

本文以治理模式与公民社会的依存性作为分析的理论依据,提出考察中国城市社区居民参与的另一路径。一方面,居民参与意愿和参与程度制约着社区选择何种治理模式;另一方面,选择何种社区治理模式对于促进或制约居民参与程度具有重要影响。通过对二者互动过程的考察,从中国城市社区建设的基本哲学假设、居民—社区关系的理念预设、动员居民参与的理想目标等方面对中国城市社区居民参与动员的策略做了若干反思。

论警务战略分析

警务战略分析是警务战略指导的首要环节,具有综合性、关联性、动态性和预测性特 点。警务战略分析包括环境分析和资源分析两个方面。警务战略环境分析需要在分析政治环境、经济环 境、科技环境、社会文化环境、社会治安环境等因素的基础上,考量不同因素对警务战略的影响。分析警 务战略资源需要围绕警务战略资源的强势、弱势和警务活动面临的机遇、挑战这条主线展开。     

适度扩大警察职权 构建行政管束制度——从“疯裸女久卧街头无人问津”谈起

女精神病人久卧街头,警察拒绝救助引发争议。根据《人民警察法》,公安机关有协助救助的义务;依照《城市生活无着的流浪乞讨人员救助管理办法》,对于城市流浪乞讨人员,公安机关不能再强制收容遣送。由于缺乏法律依据,没有行政管束权力,警察无法发挥协助救助的作用。警务实践已经突破警察法建立的框架,迫使我们增加适应社会需要的新的法律规范,适度地扩大警察职权,构建行政管束制度。     

交通警察正当执法权益受侵害的原因及其维护

Strengthening Canadian Law Enforcement and Academic Partnerships in the Area of Online Child Sexual Exploitation: The Identification of Shared Research Directions

This article outlines the law enforcement response to online child sexual exploitation and identifies two key areas of research that would benefit from an academic focus—the link between online and offline child sexual exploitation offending, and the psychological health and wellness of online child sexual exploitation investigation employees. While there are several areas in need of research, these two areas demonstrate a unique opportunity for collaborative work. Also highlighted is a joint international research partnership among law enforcement, practitioners and academia that demonstrates the benefits of linking academic research interests with the practical needs of law enforcement. Last, are several suggestions for operationally relevant collaborative research in this area. Such opportunities bring together various areas of expertise, which will advance our understanding of the needs of victims, and improve victim support services.
