Paisaje antes de la batalla. Notas sobre el contexto de la guerra contra las drogas en México

Mexico’s security crisis and Felipe Calderón’s (2006-2012) security strategy had its roots in drug trafficking, the prohibition of drugs, contraband and the border shared with the United States. Standard accounts of the violence experienced in the country, which reduce it to confrontations between drug cartels, are of little use. This article presents part of the context in which the security crisis developed, putting it in a historical perspective, and attempting to take a step towards a more nuanced interpretation. It holds that drug trafficking between Mexico and the United States is a complex, many-sided reality which admits dense symbolic elaboration. Apart from the very concrete shipping of drugs, drug trafficking is part of Mexico’s relation with the United States, a register that imbues the asymmetry between both countries with meaning, a space of political negotiation and a resource of American global diplomacy which is crystallized in a clandestine foreign policy system. Furthermore, through the demystification of the imagery that envelopes organized crime, corruption and contraband are examined, conceiving these two as phenomena that are integrated organically into borderland society.

USAID,Population Control,and NGO-Led Democratization in Egypt: The Fate of the ICPD Programme of Action

Critics of US democracy-promotion strategies of the last 20 years ask: what kind of democracy is promoted by US public agencies and associated nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), how is it promoted, and for what purpose(s)? This paper draws on interviews with NGO, USAID, and UN representatives, gathered in Egypt in 2001, to describe the fate of Egyptian women's advocacy NGOs seeking to implement the pro-democracy platform of action of the 1994 UN International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD). It offers some support for critics' contentions both that external (here USAID) pro-democracy interventions may actually obstruct democratization, and that the instrumental nature of US democracy promotion may mean that such activities are quickly eliminated or downgraded when they conflict with more primary US policy goals.     

完善基层公安机关巡逻勤务的策略研究——以上海城市巡逻警务机制升级为例

城市治安巡逻工作是公安派出所日常的主要勤务工作,也是公安机关有效防范和打击犯罪的重要措施。为适应动态环境的治安需要,加强城市社会治安的动态管理,变革原有的城市治安工作机制成为了必然。为更好地适应上海城市现代警务机制的发展要求,有必要以上海公安派出所综合指挥室建设为契机,对基层公安机关目前的动态巡逻勤务机制进行升级与改良,以实施更加科学、合理、可操作的动态勤务模式。实践证明,要实现"实兵巡逻"与"视频巡逻"的完美结合和无缝互动,建立派出所综合指挥室是最直接、最有效的手段。     

经侦信息化实战应用问题研究

经侦信息化实战是指在经济犯罪侦查过程中运用信息技术实现破案的战术或者战法。进行经侦信息化建设的根本目的在于打击经济犯罪,为实现经侦破案提供帮助。经侦信息化建设是维护经济安全和社会稳定的迫切需要,是促进经侦工作发展的必然选择。针对当前存在的主要问题,要更加注重经侦情报导侦机制建设,加强经侦特色信息采集工作和全警信息化应用能力的培养,在侦查中不断地总结技战法。     

群众路线视角下的居民安全感调查研究

群众路线是公安工作的基本路线和优良传统。居民安全感调查对公安群众路线的执行具有以下几个方面的作用:提高服务型公安机关工作的群众参与度;为公安决策提供资源;有利于公安机关推行全面质量管理,提高群众对公安工作的满意度;有助于公安合理调配资源,加强社会风险防控。基于居民安全感调查的以上作用,公安机关应正确认识居民安全感调查,做好项目规划并正确利用调查结果,使其成为"大走访"的长效机制,进一步发挥其对群众路线执行的推动作用。     

社会控制理论视角下的校园暴力防范研究简

校园暴力的频频发生,引起了社会的广泛关注.社会控制理论认为个人与社会的联系薄弱,个人就会无约束地随意进行犯罪行为,校园暴力就是个人与社会联系薄弱的结果.因此,要预防校园暴力的发生,必须加强家庭、学校等方面的社会控制.     

报复社会型个人极端暴力犯罪的历史演变与综合防治(1978-2013)

改革开放以来的35年中,报复社会型个人极端暴力犯罪从之初的个别省市偶发逐渐蔓延至全国且逐年攀升,并呈现出以男性犯罪人为主、以纵火和爆炸为主要作案手段、公共场所及中小学校园成为主要作案地点、私人恩怨和个人需求未得到政府满足为案件主要起因、以不特定公众为主要侵害对象、危害后果严重等特点。为了有效防控报复社会型个人极端暴力犯罪,需要全面提高罪前的综合防控与预测预警能力、罪中的现场处置与应急反应能力以及罪后的严厉打击与妥善处置能力。     

跨境电信诈骗案件侦查取证问题研究

跨境犯罪是当前重特大电信诈骗的趋势和特点,它呈现出作案人与被害人、行为地与结果地相分离的情况,给案侦工作带来极大困难。以信息流和资金流为主要取证渠道的双向侦查应当成为侦查重点。要准确把握人证、物证、书证、视频资料、电子证据等形态的基本特性,从信息流查证、资金流查证、网络痕迹查证及服务器监控等方面获取和固定犯罪证据,同时要根据境外窝点的特征精确认定窝点现场,并依据一定的操作规程有效取证。     

人大代表职务行为合法化探究

人大代表职务行为属于刑法中的正当化事由之一,尽管对一定的法益造成了损害,也不能以犯罪论处。人大代表职务行为的合法化条件包括前提条件、主体条件、行为条件、对象条件、限度条件以及主观条件。人大代表职务行为与律师辩护行为、控告、举报行为之间既存在着相同点,又有着明显差异。
