Abstract:
<p>Abuso de poder otimizado</p><p> </p><p>Argumentarei que, no estado administrativo, ao contrário da teoria constitucional clássica, o abuso de poder do governo não é algo a ser estritamente minimizado, mas otimizado. Um regime administrativo tolerará um nível previsível de desgoverno, mesmo de abuso de poder, como subproduto inevitável para se atingir outros fins no geral desejáveis. Existem três fundamentos principais para essa alegação. Primeiro, os arquitetos do moderno estado administrativo estavam preocupados não apenas com os desgovernos dos representantes do poder público. Eles estavam igualmente preocupados com o desgoverno “privado” — o desgoverno, por meio de comportamento visando o interesse próprio ou o benefício próprio, de atores econômicos que controlam e abusam do poder segundo as regras do direito consuetudinário do século XVIII sobre propriedade, responsabilidade extracontratual e contratos. Assim, o estado administrativo tem diante de si a escolha entre o desgoverno público e o “privado”. Segundo, a taxa de mudanças no ambiente político, especialmente na economia, é muito maior do que no final do século XVIII — tão maior que o estado administrativo foi forçado, por bem ou por mal, a acelerar o ritmo de ajuste nas políticas. O principal mecanismo de aceleração foi uma delegação cada vez maior ao Poder Executivo, aceitando os riscos resultantes de erro e abuso. Terceiro, os custos de aplicação das regras legais contra representantes do Poder Executivo são necessariamente positivos e plausivelmente altos, em parte porque quaisquer monitores institucionais criados para detectar e punir abusos devem ser monitorados eles próprios quanto a abusos. Os arquitetos do estado administrativo acreditavam que um governo que sempre forma julgamentos imparciais e que jamais abusa de seu poder fará muito pouco, com excessivo amadorismo e extrema lentidão. Nesse sentido, o estado administrativo está constantemente à procura de uma solução institucional que incorpore um nível ideal de abuso de poder.</p><p> </p><p>I will argue that in the administrative state, in contrast to classical constitutional theory, the abuse of government power is not something to be strictly minimized, but rather optimized. An administrative regime will tolerate a predictable level of misrule, even abuse of power, as the inevitable byproduct of attaining other ends that are desirable overall. There are three principal grounds for this claim. First, the architects of the modern administrative state were not only worried about misrule by governmental officials. They were equally worried about “private” misrule—misrule effected through the selfinterested or self-serving behavior of economic actors wielding and abusing power under the rules of the 18th-century common law of property, tort, and contract. The administrative state thus trades off governmental and “private” misrule. Second, the rate of change in the policy environment, especially in the economy, is much greater than in the late 18th century—so much greater that the administrative state has been forced, willy-nilly, to speed up the rate of policy adjustment. The main speeding-up mechanism has been ever-greater delegation to the executive branch, accepting the resulting risks of error and abuse. Third, the costs of enforcing legal rules against executive officials are necessarily positive and plausibly large, in part because any institutional monitors created to detect and punish abuses must themselves be monitored for abuse. The architects of the administrative state believed that a government that always forms undistorted judgments, and that never abuses its power, will do too little, do it too amateurishly, and do it too slowly. In that sense, the administrative state constantly gropes towards an institutional package solution that embodies an optimal level of abuse of power.</p>

Abstract:
This study tests the theoretically informed assumption that intimate partner violence (IPV) and animal abuse so frequently co-occur because animal maltreatment is instrumentalized by abusers to harm human victims. Using data from a survey of abused women in Canadian shelters, we find that threats to harm “pets,” emotional animal abuse, and animal neglect are clearly perceived by these survivors as being intentionally perpetrated by their abuser and motivated by a desire to upset and control them; the findings related to physical animal abuse are not as straightforward. Building on these findings, we propose a more nuanced theorizing of the coexistence of animal maltreatment and IPV.

Abstract:
The Police play a key role in maintaining law and order and safeguarding the security of the nation and its citizens. To enable them to discharge their constitutional mandate, they are entrusted with powers such as the power to arrest, detain, search, and to use force. However, police officers have often abused these powers with serious consequences on the image and operations of the organisation. The media is often inundated with news on unlawful arrests, arbitrary search and seizure, unlawful methods of investigations, and the excessive use of force. It is without a doubt that these incidences of abuse of powers and functions by the police come at a price. This study, a survey conducted with 91 respondents (83 members of public and 8 police officers) in 2 policing districts in Zimbabwe reveals wanton violation of human rights, police brutality, and the abuse of power which have resulted in both social and economic costs to the Police service and government of Zimbabwe through Civil suits against the police. Among other issues, training and decisiveness in dealing with the implicated police officers were viewed as the most effective ways for dealing with police abuse of power.

Abstract:
Ten women who had been sexually abused as children and a matched group of women who had not been sexually abused participated in a preliminary study to explore the hypothesis that feelings of powerlessness and a compensatory need for power continue into adulthood for survivors of childhood sexual abuse. The Picture-Story Exercise (PSE) was used as an indirect assessment technique to determine the level of the need for power (McClelland, 1985; Winter, 1973, 1988). Results indicated that the stories of women with sexual abuse histories revealed a higher need for power and greater fear of power than those of nonabused women. Further content analysis of the PSE revealed that sexual abuse survivors' stories also contained more references to Finkelhor and Browne's (1986) dynamics of powerlessness, traumatic sexualization, betrayal, and stigmatization. These findings suggest important directions for future research as well as areas for therapeutic exploration.

Abstract:
In this article the authors identify and discuss what they consider to be some of the underlying arguments and approaches currently promulgated in teaching and training in relation to abuse. Their focus is the assumption that all violence is linked, especially the belief that those who harm animals will harm people. This under-theorised but overtly applied phenomenon, referred to as ‘the links’, is increasingly evident on both sides of the Atlantic where it is supported and promoted by powerful non-governmental organisations. The authors draw attention to current teaching (and practice) in this area, which they consider to be flawed as well as unethical and unjust. They critique both the cycles of abuse models of the past and more recent manifestations - for example, retrospective constructions of profiles of ‘abusers’, dubious professional practice, and infringements of human rights purportedly supported by ‘science’. While their argument is initially theoretical, they draw on a focused study of a conference they both attended, which provided the opportunity for a limited linguistic and symbolic analysis. This illustrates the way in which the links idea is spread, supported by the institutional and moral power of significant agencies and organisations that are arguably operating as a ‘community of practice’.

In developing countries, it is particularly necessary to be vigilant about possible abuses of authority including abuse of police power. Individual victims are often fearful of punishment if they dare to complain, while illiteracy and poverty contribute to ignorance of legal rights (even assuming that effective legal remedies do actually exist). The Nigerian Police Force already faces widespread criticism for alleged abuses of power, which it should therefore do all it can to avoid: in this article its abuse of the Bankers Books Evidence Act 1879 (hereafter ‘Capital BBEA’ or ‘the Act’) is examined.1

Abstract:
Childhood emotional abuse (CEA) is the most common and psychologically harmful form of child abuse. While there has been attention to how gender discourses and power relations frame other forms of interpersonal violence and abuse, there has been no research into the gendered dimensions of CEA. This article reports on the findings from a qualitative interview study with men who have these backgrounds. The study was framed by a poststructural feminist understanding of gender, discourse, and power and R. W. Connell’s concept of hegemonic masculinity and social practices of gender. Narrative-discursive analysis revealed a powerful discourse about “becoming a better man” in spite of abuse through practices of hegemonic masculinity, particularly the control of emotion and prevailing over abusers. The article considers the positive and negative implications for abused men’s subjectivities as well as those for women and wider gender power relations. The article also considers gender-aware approaches for social workers and other professionals working with individuals who have these backgrounds.

Abstract:
At present, the reform of the power market is progressing steadily. To ensure the efficient and healthy operation of the power market, there is an urgent need to strengthen the credit supervision of the electricity market entities. Identifying violations of power generation companies' abuse of market power is a key task in the credit supervision of power market entities. Traditional power generation companies' abuse of market power identification mainly relies on expert decision-making. However, with the increase in market transaction volume, expert decision-making cannot meet the needs of work, and an intelligent identification method suitable for computer analysis must be proposed. This paper first proposes a quantitative definition of abuse of market power, and then takes into account the specific data characteristics of the electricity market, and proposes a method of identifying violations of power generation companies based on improved cost-sensitive support vector machines. Finally, the power market simulation experiment data set labeled by the definition method is used for training and testing. The test results show that the abuse of market power by power generation companies can be quickly and accurately identified, which verifies the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Abstract:
Corruption and the abuse of power within a political system would be inevitable without regulation. Political writers and philosophers have theorized about how to control the abuse of power for centuries. A solution, though evolving over time, was introduced through the concept of sharing power amongst multiple government entities and across different levels of government. This essay will discuss the sharing of power in regards to the following: theoretical origins of thought, methods of sharing power including the separation of power and federalism, and how these concepts operate. These elements will be discussed in order to assert the importance of sharing power within a political system. The Canadian system of government will be used as an example to display how the abuse of power is shared within a political system [...]

Abstract:
Thousands of Australian children are sexually abused every year, and the effects can be severe and long lasting. Not only is child sexual abuse a public health problem, but the acts inflicted are criminal offences. Child sexual abuse usually occurs in private, typically involving relationships featuring a massive imbalance in power and an abuse of that power. Those who inflict child sexual abuse seek to keep it secret, whether by threats or more subtle persuasion. As a method of responding to this phenomenon and in an effort to uncover cases of sexual abuse that otherwise would not come to light, governments in Australian States and Territories have enacted legislation requiring designated persons to report suspected child sexual abuse. With Western Australia’s new legislation having commenced on 1 January 2009, every Australian State and Territory government has now passed these laws, so that there is now, for the first time, an almost harmonious legislative approach across Australia to the reporting of child sexual abuse. Yet there remain differences in the State and Territory laws regarding who has to make reports, which cases of sexual abuse are required to be reported, and whether suspected future abuse must be reported. These differences indicate that further refinement of the laws is required.

Abstract:
governance is a way implemented by the government using political, economic and administrative authority in managing economic and social resources for community development. The term governance is more directed to technical matters of governance in a country. By that, the term governance in relation to good governance is directed more towards legal aspects, especially administrative law which in essence more emphasized public service aspect which is addressed to society. Good governance characteristics include Participation, Rule of law, Transparency, Responsiveness, Consensus orientation, Equity, Effectiveness and efficiency, Accountability, and Strategic vision. These characteristics are legally sourced on two main grounds, namely the principle of the rule of law and the principle of democracy. The principle of the rule of law becomes the foundation of good governance where every act of government should have a legal basis, in the form of authority, procedure and substance and protection of human rights. The principle of a legal state provides the basis of legality in the administration of government, while the principle of democracy as the basis of government openness and community participation. Power or power essentially contains the rights and obligations of the apparatus of government to take certain legal actions, derived from attribution, delegation and mandate. Abuse of power is an act of government that is inconsistent with the purpose of authorization. the form of abuse of power consists of illegal state administration (onrechtmatige overheidsdaad), the misuse of the state administration (detournement de pouvoir or ultra vires) and the arbitrary acts of state administration (abus de droit). Abuse of power may occur against bound and free power. Parameters testing abuse of power from power are tied to the legality of government action, while the abuse of power from free power using the Good Governance Principles (GGP).

Abstract:
This contribution discusses special sectoral taxes and analyses the CJEU judgments that have been made on their compatibility with the EU law. These taxes have aroused particular attention because they are levied on sales with progressive rates. As they mainly affect large businesses owned by non-domestic persons, the European Commission took action against suspected illegal state aid. The Commission has still failed to defend its position before the EU judicial authorities. The literature has extensively criticized the CJEU-judgments. To date, however, no author has argued that Member States’measures leading to covert state aid and indirect discrimination are a consequence of the populist state’s abuse of power and that abuses are closely linked to the decline of political democracy and the rule of law in these jurisdictions. As things stand today, the EU legal instruments have not sufficiently unveiled the type of abuse. The present paper seeks to explain how the Member States could commit abuses of taxation power when applying special sectoral taxes. progressive sales taxes, tax harmonization, distributive justice, selectivity, reference framework, covert state aid, indirect discrimination, abuse of power, cloaking Member State objectives, seemingly objective legal criteria

Abstract:
The results of past research have demonstrated apparent links between suicidality and a history of sexual abuse or physical abuse. However, the relative predictive power of such abuse histories in explaining suicidality remains unknown, as does the potential relationship between suicidality and emotional abuse, physical neglect, and witnessing violence. In the current study, 151 women who presented for nonemergent medical care indicated whether they had experienced each of five types of abuse and whether they had ever attempted suicide. Similar to past research, increased rates of having attempted suicide were evident among women who had been sexually or physically abused. Rates of past suicide attempts were also higher among those who had experienced emotional abuse or had witnessed violence. However, many women indicated having experienced multiple forms of trauma. In a multivariate analysis, only sexual abuse and physical abuse were uniquely predictive of having attempted suicide. Results are discussed with regard to the potential importance of bodily intrusiveness during abuse as most predictive of subsequent suicidality.

This position paper addresses three areas in which photographic images are used and abused: Journalism, Advertising, and Public Relations. These areas do not use images for aesthetic purposes only; for these businesses, the images are more than mental impressions. In these three industries, the messages they deliver through the images have little to do with the objective reality. All three use images to deliver an opinion in the name of journalism, distorted needs, benefits, and solutions in advertising, and put spins on facts to present favorable images of their clients in Public Relations. Historically, all three have engaged in the unethical use of the concept “image making” and of manipulation of actual images.

Narcotics abuses are considered to be high-level crime (extraordinary crime), and the sanctions for such crimes are very serious, starting from rehabilitation to capital punishment. seeing the severity of sanctions on narcotics abusers and the unclear definition of "possessing" in UUN, of course legal protection of suspected drug abusers must be taken seriously. Especially for those possessing/carrying narcotics without their knowledge. Keywords: Bezit; Narcotics; Drug Abuse.

Abstract:
Psychological theories attempt to prove the abnormality of child sex offenders’ behavior through a deterministic analysis, whereby particular psychological characteristics are considered to predict child sex offending. Such a focus ignores the structures of power that influence men’s lives, a man’s active engagement with that social context, and how we might understand child sexual abuse as part of that engagement. By considering the meanings that sexual behavior with children has for offenders’ lives as men, this article discusses how an offender’s body and the body of a child are related to the concepts of sexuality and potency, how those bodies are ascribed meanings by the individual offender and other men, as well as the analytic utility of social learning theory and the power/powerlessness theory for understanding why sexually abused boys rather than sexually abused girls are more likely to become sex offenders with reference to two case studies.

Disponible en https://doi.org/10.25785/ iapt.cs.v1i0.49ResumenEste artículo sobre el abuso sexual de niños contribuye a comprender el cambio del enfoque de los perpetradores que niega la voz de las víctimas, incluso al punto de considerar a las víctimas como delincuentes sexuales responsables por su abuso, a un enfoque de “la víctimas primero”. La iglesia católica ha sido fuertemente influida por los principales discursos en la sociedad que dan poder a los psiquiatras, terapeutas y trabajadores sociales. Sin embargo, con respecto al abuso clerical en la iglesia, se pueden identificar dos discursos distintos. En el primero, el pecado se considera causa del abuso, reduciéndolo a una cuestión de la voluntad. El segundo discurso considera que el abuso sexual infantil se debe al contexto de decadencia moral. Es importante por ello superarlos con una visión sistémica del tema.AbstractThis paper on child sexual abuse contributes to an understanding of the shift from a focus on perpetrators that denies the voice of the victims, even holding the victims to be sexual delinquents responsible for their abuse, to a “victims first” approach. The Catholic Church has been heavily influenced by the major discourses in society that give power to psychiatrists, therapists and social workers. However, with regard to clerical sexual abuse in the Church, two distinct discourses can be identified. In the first, sin is considered a cause for abuse, reducing it to a matter of the will. The second discourse considers child sexual abuse due to a context of moral decay. Both discourses need to be overcome by means of a sistemic view of the issue. Key words: Child Sexual Abuse, Catholic Church, Societal Discourses, “Victims First” Approach.

Abstract:
This study aimed at raise awareness of the concept of abuse of power, and the role of judicial oversight over it, statement of judicial guarantees for individuals against abuse of power, explanation of the importance of judicial decisions fulfilling their pillars, clarify penalties and sanctions that might fall on the perpetrator of abuse of power, and statement of the implications of abuse of power. In order for this study to achieve its objectives, the inductive method was used, which depends on the extrapolation of the study problem through the study literature, books and literature in this field in proportion to this type of studies. Among the most important results of the study: The defect of abuse of power can be defined as: (the abuse of power committed in a legal framework, but with the aim of reaching illegal goals), there is a great convergence in the two legislative texts that were mentioned in the Saudi system and the Egyptian State Council Law, rather, it can be said that there is an almost identicalness between the two texts, as if the Saudi regulator had quoted the text of the system from the Egyptian law, there is a controversy in the relationship between the defect of abuse of power and the defect of lack of competence, and the necessity of applying Islamic Sharia in the Saudi system, and this results in achieving the principle of legitimacy in its best form, as the relationship between judicial oversight and the principle of legitimacy depends on an independent judiciary. The study concluded with a set of recommendations and procedures to minimize abuse-of-power events as follows. Employees shall be trained upon granting them the powers to issue decisions. Litigation procedures shall be simplified. The competent court shall make rulings independently (to be of the public order). Punishment shall be applied so that the infarction is decisively proven and proportionate to the offense committed.

Abstract:
Abuse of official position or authority is the commission of an illegal act committed in an official capacity that violates the performance of official duties. Officials who abuse their power are often corrupt. Misappropriation, abuse of trust, and fraud can take many forms. If carried out by an official, it often constitutes corruption. Abuse of power consists of using an official's authority to resolve issues that conflict with the interests of the service. Usually, for such "services," an official receives a certain reward for himself or another person. Abuse of duty means using powers related to the position held contrary to the interests of the service. In our country, as well as in other countries of the world, the phenomenon of abuse of office and corruption continues to be one of the main concerns, for which we need a strategy and laws aimed at preventing and combating this phenomenon. Our whole society is a victim when public officials violate the trust given to them.

Abstract:
Although sex is considered something private and personal, telling sexual stories is by no means a personal matter. The difficulty faced by sexual abuse victims who want to tell their stories is due to the ways in which the meanings of sexual abuse, the abuser and the victim are discursively constructed by the dominant culture. As a result, a tension between the individual desire to tell stories and the social injunction to silence is invariably found in women’s narratives of sexual abuse. This paper explores how discourses of the dominant culture discourage women from breaking their silence about sexual abuse and how the emerging voices of sex abuse victims have led to the reevaluation of discourses, power, and female subjectivity. My discussion will be divided into two parts: the first part—’Talking Back’—will focus on sexual abuse narratives written by female survivors’ and the second part —’Public Confession’ — will examine survivors discourse broadcast in television programmes.

Abstract:
Objective: There is a considerable imbalance of power in psychiatry that sits in favor of professionals. The abuse and discrimination of the mentally ill are not just restricted to the mental health system but may also exist in the primary care sector. This article aims to evaluate the effects of power imbalance on discrimination and abuse of people with mental illness by professionals. Methods: A literature search was carried out on MEDLINE using the key words consumerism, client empowerment, abuse, and mental illness. Publications of two leading British consumer organizations: MIND and the Sainsbury Centre for Mental Health were hand searched. Relevant cross-references from the papers reviewed were consulted. Studies with information on the reasons for power imbalance and prevalence of discrimination and abuse of clients were critically reviewed. Explanations are offered as to why abuse and discrimination of clients by professionals may still occur despite the onset of the client empowerment movement. Results and Discussion: The available evidence suggests that reasons for abuse of mental health clients fall under two broad categories: 1) direction from the imbalance of power and 2) those pertinent to the nature of physical or sexual abuse. Different grades of client empowerment and ways of strengthening it are described. Conclusions: There appears to be a link between power imbalance and abuse of clients with mental illness by professionals in all health care sectors. Client empowerment may help rectify the power imbalance. Prospective studies are required to establish whether client empowerment can reduce discrimination and abuse of clients and whether abuse is a consequence of power imbalance. Recommendations for future studies are made.

Abstract:
Purpose The research indicates that relatively powerful firms exploit their advantages to damage their weaker partners. However, how power can be abused by advantaged firms remains unclear. This study aims to examine the relationship between power advantage and abuse of power and whether the power advantage mediates the relationship between dependence and personal interests and between trust and company performance. Design/methodology/approach A total of 130 retailers in Taiwan were investigated. Partial least squares regression was performed to test the proposed hypotheses. Findings The results of this study show that power-advantaged firms are more likely to abuse their power; however, the purposes are more for their company performance than for personal interests. Power advantage has different mediating effects on the dependence–personal interests and trust–company performance relationships. Research limitations/implications Considering both time and cost limitations, this study investigated one aspect of the retailer–supplier dyad in northern Taiwan. The samples collected may be influenced by the nature of the industry and sampling method, possibly limiting the generalizability of the research results. Practical implications This study can help channel managers with a power advantage to have an improved understanding of their salespersons’ behavioral patterns, particularly gaining personal interests from customers. Originality/value This study expands the understanding of the antecedents and consequences of power advantages in supplier–retailer relationships. It also highlights in specific institutional arrangements, the weaker parties’ efforts to endure their counterparts’ use of their power advantage to serve their personal interests. Future research may analyze abuse of power by expanding research to other industries and different cultural contexts.

Abstract:
Indonesian leadership for some time suffered extraordinary shocks, the distrust of the leaders to make them not a role model anymore. The loss of integrity within the leader is very worrying for our state and nation; Indonesia's national security can be destroyed by it. It takes a very drastic change in the future to build Indonesia. Strong faith basis and professionalism coupled with a good work ethic will bring this nation to obtain a real leader, not worthy of their so-called leaders. Abuse of power that has been handed over to the leaders of the people are already too many and has touched every joint life of Indonesian society, there needs to be a consistent transformation of the nation's future, otherwise we will be destroyed, and the free fall in the abyss of evil. This paper will describe the current situation of Indonesia as well as concise and clear feedback about the solution, hopefully this can be determined for all of us to rebuild Indonesia.
