Assertions of “Future Dangerousness” at Federal Capital Sentencing: Rates and Correlates of Subsequent Prison Misconduct and Violence

The federal prison disciplinary records of federal capital inmates (n=145) who were sentenced to life without possibility of release (LWOP) by plea bargain, pre-sentencing withdrawal of the death penalty, or jury determination were retrospectively reviewed (M=6.17 years post-admission). Disaggregated prevalence rates were inversely related to infraction severity: serious infraction =0.324, assaultive infraction =0.207, serious assault =0.09, assault with moderate injury =0.007, assault with major injuries or death =0.00. Frequency rates of misconduct were equivalent to other high-security federal inmates (n=18,561), regardless of infraction severity. Government assertions of "future dangerousness" as a nonstatutory aggravating factor were not predictive of prison misconduct. These findings inform federal capital risk assessments and have public policy implications for procedural reliability in death penalty prosecutions.

基于“项目化管理、任务化驱动”的边检机关基层党建活动运行刍议

边检机关基层党建活动是边检机关党组织建设的重要载体,是体现边检机关党组织活力的重要途径。对边检机关基层党建活动实行项目化管理、任务化驱动,就是运用项目化管理中＂淡化职能、任务驱动、专业互补、强化效果＂的原则,采取一体化团队工作模式,对各种相关资源进行系统配置和集成,实现跨职能、跨专业的横向合作,最终形成人人参与、人人共享的生动活泼氛围。将现代项目管理的理念、体系、流程与方法应用于党建活动管理中,其核心是＂任务驱动＂,即＂主导———党组织＂利用＂主线———目标任务＂驱动＂主体———党员民警＂完成党建活动任务。这一过程的实施既可以发挥党组织的主导作用,又可以体现民警的主体作用,也可使党建活动的质量和效果得到大幅度提高。

Government and Democracy in Mexico's Federal District, 1997–2001: Cárdenas, the PRD and the Curate's Egg

This paper analyses the challenges facing the Partido de la Revolución Democrática (PRD) administration when it became the first elected government of the Federal District in 1997. Through a daily review of press coverage between December 1997–December 2000, complemented by intensive interviewing during summer 1999, five areas of policy-making activity are analysed and evaluated. The policies entrained and their outcomes show significant advances in decentralization, devolution, and intergovernmental liaison, as well as modest improvements in environmental contamination and reduced crime, although they did not meet the high expectations generated during the Cárdenas campaign for election. However, the fresh image and invigorated confidence that his replacement Rosario Robles brought to the PRD was key in the PRD's success in the July 2nd 2000 DF elections won by López Obrador. The new administration will have to confront a more plural government structure, including five of the sixteen delegaciones and an evenly divided Legislative Assembly. López Obrador has a full six years in which to prove that a left-of-centre political party is capable of developing a 'Third Way' of governance in the DF.
