Da, Conceição Filomena Pensar Abudo Alicénia. "La coopération dans la prévention et la recherche des infractions entre le Mozambique et les autres États de la Communauté pour le développement de l'Afrique australe." Thesis, Poitiers, 2018. http://www.theses.fr/2018POIT3002.
Full textAbstract:
L'étude de la coopération pour la prévention et la recherche des infractions entre le Mozambique et les autres États de la Communauté pour le développement de l'Afrique australe (SADC) s'impose en raison de plusieurs facteurs induits par l'évolution de la société et qui facilitent les activités criminelles dans cette région du monde : le processus d'intégration en cours en Afrique australe, la suppression des visas entre certains États de la région qui conduit à une augmentation de la mobilité des personnes d'un pays à l'autre, le développement des technologies d'information et de communication. Ces principaux facteurs constituent des défis pour la sécurité publique dans la région de l'Afrique australe et exigent des États la reconnaissance et la réaffirmation de la nécessité de coopérer, y compris la mise en place d'actions concertées pour lutter plus efficacement contre des formes de criminalité traditionnelles qui évoluent ou des formes de criminalités plus nouvelles. Parmi ces deux catégories, on remarque la présence de la criminalité organisée, le trafic de stupéfiants, la cybercriminalité sans oublier les trafics de véhicules ou d'êtres humains.L'objet de la recherche concerne l'existence et l'efficacité de la coopération pour prévenir et lutter contre ces formes de criminalité, qu'elles soient transnationales ou ayant un lien d'extraterritorialité. Pour ce faire, un état des lieux des textes applicables est utile ; il permet une compréhension éclairée du dispositif. Or ces textes sont nombreux et variés au motif de leur origine bilatérale, régionale ou internationale. Leurs liens sont également complexes en raison des différentes criminalités qui existent dans cette région. Enfin, leur mise en œuvre est rendue difficile. Elle l'est d'une part au regard de l'histoire de la région de l'Afrique australe qui a connu, à partir des déclarations d'indépendance, une période pendant laquelle des coopérations policières régionales existaient sans support légal. L'intégration de la SARPCCO dans la SADC a permis de mettre un terme à cette pratique. Elle l'est d'autre part à cause des souverainetés qui, encore relativement prégnantes, sont des obstacles à la coopération. Notre recherche a donc nécessité de faire le point sur les antécédents historiques de la coopération policière dans la région de la SADC en particulier et dans les relations avec d'autres États ou régions du monde, sur le développement des mécanismes juridiques et institutionnels de coopération, sur l'institution et la consolidation de la coopération policière dans les structures de la SADC, enfin sur le comité des chefs de police et ses liens avec Interpol. Ces éléments ont permis d'apprécier les principaux progrès et les limites de cette coopération<br>The cooperation study for the prevention and the research of infringements between Mozambique and the other states of the Southern African Development Community (SADC) decree on account of several factors resulting in the evolution of the society and that facilitates the criminal activities in this region of the world: the ongoing integration process in Southern Africa, the abolition of visas between certain states of the region that leads to an increase in mobility of people from one country to another, the development of information and communication technologies. These main factors constitute as some challenges for public security in the region of Southern Africa and demand some states the acknowledgement and the reassertion as a necessity to cooperate, including the arrangement of joint actions to fight more effectively against the traditional crime forms that evolve or the more recent crime forms. Among these two categories, we notice the presence of organised crimes, the trafficking of narcotics, cybercrime without forgetting the trafficking of stolen vehicles and human beings.The objective of the research concerns the existence and the effectiveness of the cooperation to prevent and fight against these crime forms, that they are transnational/cross-border or having an extraterritorial link. In order to do this, an inventory of the applicable texts is necessary; it allows an enlightened understanding of the measures. But these texts are numerous and diverse on the basis of their bilateral, regional or international origins. Their links are equally complex due to the different crime forms that exist in this region. Finally, their implementation is rendered difficult. It is on one hand in view of the history of the region of Southern Africa that was known from the independence declarations, a period during which some of the regional police cooperation existed without legal support. The integration of SARPCCO in SADC allowed putting an end to this practise. It is on the other hand due to sovereignty that still relatively significant are some of the obstacles at the cooperation. Our research has thus required to focus on preceding history of the police cooperation in the region of SADC in particular and in relations with other states or regions of the world, on the development of the cooperation's legal and institutional mechanism, on the establishment and the strengthening of the police cooperation in the SADC organization, and finally on the Council of Police Chiefs and his links with Interpol. These elements have authorized to appraise the principal progress and the restrictions of this organization

Full textAbstract:
Doctor of Philosophy<br>Department of Sociology, Anthropology, and Social Work<br>Robert K. Schaeffer<br>Kansas police chiefs are a unique group of individuals. Because are they located throughout the various sized communities within the state, they have the potential to affect the daily lives of more people on a day-today basis than any other branch of law enforcement. The purpose of this study was to analyze how police chiefs prioritize emerging threats. In this study, using a purposeful sample, 40 semi-structured interviews were conducted with Kansas police chiefs across the state. These police chiefs were asked about their views on the biggest emerging threats they have observed within the last 10 years. They were also asked why certain threats become priorities and why others do not. Police chiefs were split on their thoughts of whether or not they believed resources should be allocated in their communities to defend against terrorism in Kansas. What was discovered during the research process went beyond learning about the process of change for threat prioritization, or what specific threats Kansas police chiefs think their communities are facing today. What was discovered was a deeper understanding of how police chiefs think when it comes to the relationship between police departments, police personnel, and community. As police chiefs addressed the processes by which they go about prioritizing emerging threats, they illuminated a unique strategy hierarchy for success that is centered on maintaining positive departmental perception. To maintain this perception, police chiefs work both officially and covertly within governmental structures and the public sphere to control how people think about their personnel and department. A prominent difference was seen in the physical proximity and accessibility of police chiefs to the community between small, medium, and large towns. In effect, to come to an understanding of the process of prioritization for emerging threats for Kansas police chiefs, it was necessary to understand these police administrators’ unique thought processes that they bring to the table when addressing important issues.

Full textAbstract:
Police supervisors who enjoy membership in their subordinates' police union may contribute to organizational discord by failing to enforce organizational policy among their subordinates. The purpose of this multiple case study was to examine the perceptions of 9 municipal chiefs from a west coast state in the United States regarding how supervisors' membership in their subordinates' police union affects policy enforcement and how supervisor enforcement of policy may impact police officer discipline. The conceptual framework was based on dual-commitment conflict theory. Data were collected using semi structured interviews and e-mail questionnaires. Data were member checked and cross-interpreted through coded analysis. Findings indicated that supervisors' membership in their subordinates' police union affected disciplinary outcomes. Participants' recommendations to address dual-commitment conflict included removal of supervisors from their subordinates' union, removal of supervisors' investigative duties, and outsourcing of critical investigations involving subordinates. The implications for social change can be observed in increased organizational transparency and police accountability, which may assist in enhancing police-community relationships.

Full textAbstract:
<p> Realignment, instituted in October 2011, was California’s latest effort at prison reform by realigning responsibility for prisoners labeled nonviolent, non-serious, and non sex-related from the state to counties. Many of these offenders were in state prison upon conviction of property crime offenses. Realignment had a net decarcerative effect on offenders. Simultaneously, California cities’ officer staffing levels shrunk during the great recession. To determine what impact realignment may have had on property crime in small California cities, and to identify effective response strategies, property crime and officer staffing data was analyzed and a survey administered to the chiefs of those cities.</p><p> Fifty-six California cities with a population of between 25,000 and 50,000 and their own police departments were studied. This study analyzed data for the full year before and after realignment’s implementation, 2010 compared to 2012. Analysis of these data indicated an overall trend of increase in property crimes reported to the police, and a significant decrease in officer staffing pre-and post-implementation. Many of the 36 chiefs who responded to the survey identified realignment as the primary factor in the increase of property crime, closely followed by overcrowding in their local or county jail. Of the response strategies offered in the survey, most chiefs said they had made progress on increasing partnerships with allied law enforcement agencies. Finally, a majority of the chiefs identified increasing partnerships with allied agencies the most effective strategy followed by the creation or reorienting specialized units to respond to the issue of realigned offenders.</p>

Full textAbstract:
Educational Leadership<br>Ed.D.<br>In an era when school shootings make front page headlines, school security is of major importance to community members, school superintendents, police chiefs, parents, and students. School district leaders and local law enforcement officials generally work together to ensure the safety of their community’s children. The nature of the relationships that form over time vary depending upon a range of factors related to the collaborators and their circumstances. The questions that remain to be answered are: What is actually happening behind closed doors to ensure the safety of students in New Jersey schools? What relationships exist between school superintendents and local police chiefs? How do these relationships lead to security practices that can further protect children in school? This study employs mixed methods to examine the relationships between school district leaders and local police officials. The researcher conducted a quantitative survey of superintendents and police chiefs in New Jersey, along with qualitative interviews of superintendents to gather in-depth information on the relationships that currently exist. The information that has been gathered can be used to increase opportunities for improving school security. While the audience for the study is primarily practitioners in the fields of education and law enforcement, it is relevant for anyone who cares about the safety of schoolchildren in their community. The findings of this study show that collaboration can lead to strong working relationships between superintendents and police chiefs and is an essential element in their mutual quest to provide enhanced school security for students in New Jersey schools.<br>Temple University--Theses

Research has shown that the police industry has entered into an era of homeland security. However, whether the core functions of policing have significantly changed since September 11, 2001, has been the topic of considerable debate. Using secondary data, the research identifies variables that are most influential in predicting whether Texas police chiefs understand their departments’ homeland security roles and responsibilities. The data was originally obtained in 2007 through self-administered surveys of police chiefs attending the Texas Chief Leadership Series (TPCLS) and the New Chief Development Program (NCDP).

Previous issue date: 2008-02-14T00:00:00Z<br>Research on Brazilian federalism has not yet significantly incorporated the implications of interstate relations into public policy. Furthermore, few researches have addressed the problem of intergovernamental coordination, either in a general plan or in specific governmental areas. The present Thesis intends to analyze the evolution of the federative coordination process, from the re-democratization to the present days, by examining four cases of National State Setorial Councils. The main hypothesis of this work is that two factors have established this process: First, is the general scenario of the Federation, marked by two critical junctures in the period – the re-democratization and the Plano Real. Second, and more important, is related to the origin, construction and the shape of the national policy for each sector. Therefore, the (1) level of institutionalization of intergovernmental articulation; (2) consensus among the actors; and (3) effectiveness of intergovernmental coordination instruments would lead to different results in the following areas: Tributary System, Health, Education and Public Administration. To understand this federative dynamic, this study has focused on the reasons of the expansion of the National Council of State Secretaries, choosing four cases that represents the most important sectors in the public area: the National Council of Tributary System, (CONFAZ); the National Council of State Health Secretaries; the National Council of State Education Secretaries (CONSED) and the National Council of State Administration Secretaries (CONSAD). The main concern of these entities is to integrate the States and the Federal District to discuss common issues, define strategies for coordinated actions and to influence the Federal policies. Considering the emergence of those councils in a conflicting environment of interstate relationship and the lack of coordination between them and the Federal Government, the objective of this research is to rescue the genesis and evolution of these councils aiming to answer the following main question: which factors have driven to this horizontal articulation and what are the results in terms of coordination among the constituent units? In a general view, we conclude that National Policies influence the interstate cooperation, as well as the whole process of Federal coordination.<br>Os estudos sobre o federalismo brasileiro ainda não incorporaram significativamente as implicações das relações interestaduais para as políticas públicas. Além disso, poucas pesquisas têm tratado do problema da coordenação intergovernamental, tanto no plano mais geral como em áreas governamentais específicas. A presente Tese pretende, a partir do estudo de quatro Conselhos Estaduais de políticas públicas, analisar a evolução dos processos de coordenação federativa desde a redemocratização até os dias de hoje. A hipótese principal do trabalho é que dois fatores determinam este processo. O primeiro é o cenário mais geral da Federação, norteado por duas conjunturas críticas durante o período – redemocratização e Plano Real. O segundo, e mais importante, diz respeito à origem, construção e formato das políticas nacionais em cada setor, de modo que o grau de institucionalização da articulação intergovernamental (1), o consenso entre os atores (2) e a efetividade dos instrumentos de coordenação intergovernamental (3) levariam a resultados distintos nas áreas Tributária, de Saúde, na Educação e na Administração Pública. Para entender esta dinâmica federativa, o estudo tem como foco a explicação do fenômeno da expansão de Conselhos Estaduais de políticas públicas, concentrando-se em quatro casos, a saber, o Conselho Nacional de Política Fazendária (CONFAZ), o Conselho Nacional de Secretários de Saúde (CONASS), o Conselho Nacional de Secretários de Educação (CONSED) e o Conselho de Nacional de Secretários de Estado da Administração (CONSAD), selecionados por serem os mais importantes no conjunto dos setores governamentais. Estas entidades preocupam-se com a articulação dos estados e do Distrito Federal para debater questões de interesse comum, elaborar estratégias de ação coordenada e influir nas políticas que vêm do Governo Federal. Diante do surgimento desses Conselhos em um ambiente inicialmente competitivo entre os estados e de confronto e pouca coordenação com a União, o objetivo desta pesquisa é resgatar a gênese e a evolução desses colegiados tendo como pano de fundo a seguinte questão: quais fatores levaram à articulação horizontal e quais seus resultados em termos de coordenação entre os entes? Em linhas gerais, conclui-se que as políticas nacionais influenciam a cooperação interestadual, bem como todo o processo coordenador na Federação.

<p> <b>Purpose.</b> The purpose of this phenomenological research study was to describe the behaviors exemplary municipal police chiefs and sheriffs practiced leading their organizations through conversation using Groysberg and Slind’s (2012) four elements of conversational leadership: intimacy, interactivity, inclusion, intentionality. </p><p> <b>Methodology.</b> A phenomenology qualitative method was used to describe the behaviors of exemplary municipal police chiefs and sheriffs in southern California and their lived experiences related to conversational leadership. The study combined semi-structured interviews, observations, and artifact collection. These qualitative tools helped the researcher gain insight into participants’ conversational leadership behaviors. The researcher analyzed the data with the aid of NVivo software to reveal patterns and sort them into categories. </p><p> <b>Findings.</b> Examination of the data resulted in 20 themes and 574 references to the four elements of conversational leadership. Eight key findings were identified based on the frequency of references by study participants. </p><p> <b>Conclusions.</b> The eight key findings were summarized into four conclusions, one for each conversational element: (1) municipal police chiefs and sheriffs who want to provide an intimate, trusting environment must form comfortable conversational environments and create authentic, honest conversations to build trust; (2) municipal police chiefs and sheriffs committed to stakeholder interactivity and exchange of ideas create an environment for open dialogue and engage members in two-way dialogue; (3) municipal police chiefs and sheriffs committed to inclusion and sharing of ideas utilize effective conversation strategies for sharing, and create empowered internal stakeholders; (4) municipal police chiefs and sheriffs who want to ensure clarity of purpose with clear goals and direction should focus on methods to create clarity and purpose. </p><p> <b>Recommendations.</b> Further research is advised by replicating this study in other types of law enforcement organizations, as well as business, education, and possibly the military. Conduct a study to combine the results of this study with the peer-researchers in this thematic team to compare the results.</p><p>

Full textAbstract:
<p> The purpose of this thematic, mixed-method case study was to identify and describe the behaviors that exemplary police chiefs use to create personal and organizational meaning for themselves and their followers through character, vision, relationships, wisdom, and inspiration. Additionally, this study surveyed the followers of these exemplary leaders to evaluate the degree of importance to which these followers believe a leader uses character, vision, relationships, wisdom, and inspiration to create personal and organizational meaning. Police chiefs were interviewed for this study regarding their insight in the use of the behaviors associated with character, vision, relationships, wisdom, and inspiration. There have been studies that have focused on character, vision, relationships, wisdom, and inspiration. However, there has not been a study that has included all five variables in the research that identify and describe behaviors that exemplary leaders use to create personal and organizational meaning. The literature and the findings support use of the five variables in the behaviors that create meaning. The findings of this research show that exemplary leaders use all five variables throughout their leadership. Additionally, exemplary police chiefs agree that all five variables are needed, and one variable does not offset the others. Their followers also concur that the five variables are important exemplary leadership behaviors that help create personal and organizational meaning. Further research is recommended for this area of study by replicating this study in other law enforcement agencies focusing on either elected sheriffs, school district police, or special district police chiefs. In addition, a limited case study is recommended, locating three female police chiefs and looking at their pathways to the chief position. By identifying and describing the behaviors that exemplary police chiefs use to create personal and organizational meaning for themselves and their followers and the degree of importance which followers perceive the behaviors through character, vision, relationships, wisdom, and inspiration, help to create personal and organizational meaning, researchers can provide the necessary strategies and tools for improving these five variables in leaders in order to create successful and meaning leadership.</p>

This study seeks to investigate the underlying ideologies and practices behind the perception that women who are in command positions are unable to command and control, especially those who are in the operational environment. The study was executed in the Eastern Cape Province (Eastern Cape), in Buffalo City Metropolitan Municipality (BCM). The research participants (respondents) were constituted by 33 police officers from diverse police stations within the BCM. The participants were divided according to gender, i.e. 24 females and 9 males. With regards to objectives of the study, the aim was to investigate the following issues: i) to understand factors that make women not to be accepted in their positions as SAPS' operational commanders, by their male subordinateslcolleagues and community members. ii) To understand factors that make women not to be accepted in their positions as SAPS' operational commanders, by their male subordinates/colleagues and community members, and iii) to explore strategies to utilize in making SAPS' women operational commanders, survive while managing their day-te-day respective units/components effectively and efficiently. Regarding research design, this study mainly used a qualitative research method combined with a bit of a quantitative approach. And then the data collection method involved making use of semi structured interviews to all the respondents. The results of this study show that there is still a huge difference in the number of women who are commanders compared to their male counterparts, especially in those environments that were previously regarded as male dominated. Further, despite the necessary training being provided by the SAPS to women officers, the necessary support in particular from management is still a challenge. Lastly, the argument of this study is that there is still not a fair representation of women in command positions within the SAPS, especially, in the previously male dominated environments.

Full textAbstract:
In 1993, Charles Moose became Portland, Oregon's first black police chief. A nationally recognized student of the developing theories of community policing, Chief Moose's promotion was also hoped to help strengthen the diversity of the Portland Police Bureau. Ultimately, Portlanders were unable to look past Moose's public outbursts and demeanor and recognize his accomplishments. As a city, they missed an opportunity.
This thesis uses transcripts of speeches and policy papers to present some political history to the reader, but also letters to the mayor's office, letters to the editor and the like to consider the social history of 1990's Portland. Some specific touchpoints of Moose's administration are considered, including when he and his wife Sandy moved to the King Neighborhood, the Daniel Binns birthday party and the resulting march on Moose's home, his outburst at the City Council, and other examples of his legendary anger. Moose's role in gentrification, and the policies he created for the Portland Police Bureau to lead that charge will not be ignored. All the while, the context of Oregon's racist heritage is forefront in this paper.
By 1999, Charles Moose had left the bureau and accepted a job in Maryland. He was selected for many of the accomplishments that the Portland public had criticized him for. Ultimately, this study will show that Portland missed an opportunity to discuss how they wanted to be policed, and what philosophies they wanted their enforcers to personify.

Full textAbstract:
"L’Eglise s’est toujours considérée comme un ordre infra-étatique (l’Eglise dans l’Etat avec ses paroisses et ses diocèses), tout en obéissant aux règles posées par une autorité étrangère à l’Etat, la papauté. De ce fait, l’Eglise est un ordre juridique concurrençant l’Etat, car elle exerce une domination sur le même territoire et les mêmes sujets. Le Gallicanisme se présente comme la synthèse permettant de régler juridiquement ces conflits. Il prône l’indépendance de l’Eglise de France et de l’Etat face à la papauté et suppose l’intervention du Souverain dans les affaires ecclésiastiques. Deux mécanismes juridiques essentiels servent à remplir ces fonctions. D’une part, au moyen des techniques assurant la réception des règles ecclésiastiques dans l’Etat, le Gallicanisme produit un discours technicien ancré dans une doctrine de la souveraineté, pour préserver l’existence d’une « exception française » menacée par les prétentions hégémoniques romaines. D’autre part, inventée pour résoudre les conflits de compétence opposant les autorités étatiques et ecclésiales, la procédure de l’appel comme d’abus subordonne l’Eglise de France à l’Etat par le contrôle juridictionnel de ses actes. Elle désigne l’Etat comme l’instance titulaire d’un pouvoir exclusif de déterminer l’étendue de sa propre compétence et de celle de l’ordre ecclésial. Envisagé sous l’angle des rapports entre ordres juridiques, le Gallicanisme apparaît alors comme une étape incontournable dans la construction intellectuelle de l’Etat moderne, à laquelle il fournit des supports théoriques et techniques"<br>By the properties that characterize it, Catholic Church is often considered, following the example of the State, as a legal system which takes place inside and outside State. Before the 1905 Act, Gallicanism struggles for independance of the Church of France and the State against papacy, encouraging Sovereign’s interventions in ecclesiastical affairs. Gallicanism can be translated in terms of relations between two legal systems, and the matter of this study is to prove this movement has been a momentum in the intellectual building of Modern State through the reflexion of french jurist from the Ancient Monarchy to the end of the 19th century. Church and State are, by many ways, concurrent systems aiming to dominate the same territory and the same subjects. Gallican thoughts present themselves like an answer to these conflicts. Canonical rules promulgated by the Pope or a Council are not self-executing, and have to be approved by the Sovereign to be Law of the State. Gallicanism build a technical discurse based on State sovereignty to preserve a french particularism against the Roman hegemonic threath. Invented to resolve conflicts of competences between ecclesiastical and State’s authorities, the procedure named « appel comme d’abus » gives exclusive power to the State to determine the extent of its competence. Furthermore this procedure subordinates Church of France to State by the judicial review of its administrative acts

O presente trabalho realizou uma análise e classificação das consultas da Seção de Fazenda do Conselho de Estado, que funcionou no Brasil Império no período de 1842 a 1889, a partir dos modelos administrativos e de governo que influenciaram o funcionamento e organização da administração e do Conselho de Estado. Buscou-se no modelo corporativo do Antigo Regime português as primeiras fontes e raízes para o modelo polissinodal e de governo por conselhos. Posteriormente novos paradigmas e idéias político-administrativas entraram em linha de conta no modelo português, como foi o caso, no século XVIII, dos paradigmas relacionados ao chamado Estado de Polícia. Essas fases da formação do Estado Moderno e paradigmas de governo e administração influenciaram o modelo político adotado no Brasil independente e constitucional e vieram a conformar a atuação do Conselho de Estado no Segundo Reinado. A partir da análise da produção da Seção de Fazenda do Conselho de Estado é possível mapear continuidades e rupturas com modelos anteriores e a adoção de novos paradigmas de governo e administração e explicar o funcionamento do Conselho de Estado sob D. Pedro II.<br>The present work carried out an analysis and classification of the consultations of the Finance Section of the Council of State, which operated in Empire of Brazil from 1842 to 1889, from the administrative and governmental models that influenced the functioning and organization of the administration and the Council of State. The first sources and roots for the polissynodal model and for government by councils were sought in the corporate model of the Old Portuguese Regime. Subsequently new paradigms and political-administrative ideas came into account in the Portuguese model, as was the case, in the eighteenth century, of paradigms related to the so-called Police State. These phases of the formation of the Modern State and paradigms of government and administration influenced the political model adopted in independent and constitutional Brazil and came to conform the performance of the Council of State in the Second Reign. From the analysis of the production of the Finance Section of the Council of State it is possible to map out continuities and ruptures with previous models and the adoption of new paradigms of government and administration and to explain the functioning of the Council of State under D. Pedro II.

Full textAbstract:
L’entraide policière internationale, en raison de la multiplicité de ses sources et de ses applications, apparaît comme un phénomène pluriel difficile à appréhender. Sa mise en œuvre différenciée dans les différents espaces géographiques et les nombreuses évolutions qu’elle a connues aggravent sa complexité. L’objet de la présente étude est de proposer une grille de lecture dont l’ambition est de donner une vision plus claire et plus cohérente. En définitive, deux types d’entraide se dessinent : l’assistance et la coopération. Ce résultat est révélé par une étude notionnelle et conforté par la modélisation du régime. L’étude de la notion permet de révéler, malgré une définition unitaire, la nature duale de l’entraide policière.

The result appears after a notional study and is consolidated by the establishment of a framework. Despite a commom definition, the study of the notion reveals a duality in the international mutual help between the polices. This duality has an impact on the legal framework, as two types of frameworks are appearing: the assistance relates on the common law system and the cooperation tends to be a specific framework. Finally, it appears the international mutual helps between the polices borrows from the criminal proceedings and from the international rights their caracteristics and their influences

Malgré le peu de fondements écrits consacrés à la justice dans le texte de la Constitution du 4 octobre 1958, le Conseil constitutionnel, en réalisant un travail d’actualisation à partir de la Déclaration des droits de l’homme et du citoyen, a permis l’émergence d’un droit constitutionnel processuel, construit autour de principes directeurs. Ceux-ci peuvent être répartis dans trois catégories : deux principales, selon que l’acteur du procès prioritairement concerné soit le juge ou les parties et une troisième, complémentaire, celle des garanties procédurales, permettant de favoriser les qualités essentielles du juge et de contrôler le respect des droits des parties. Une gradation des exigences du Conseil constitutionnel est discrètement perceptible entre les deux premières catégories de principes, plus facilement identifiable entre celles-ci et la dernière famille. Cette échelle décroissante de « densité » des principes directeurs du procès témoigne d’une véritable politique jurisprudentielle en matière de droit constitutionnel processuel, qui met l’accent sur l’accès au juge, doté des qualités indispensables à l’accomplissement de sa mission juridictionnelle. Toutefois, aussi satisfaisante que soit l’action du juge constitutionnel français à l’égard du droit du procès, celle-ci nécessiterait aujourd’hui le relais du constituant, afin de moderniser le statut constitutionnel de la justice<br>In spite of a relatively low number of written dispositions dedicated to justice inside of the body of the Constitution of October 1958 4th, the constitutional Council, while updating this text through the Declaration of Human Rights, contributed to the development of a procedural constitutional law, which is structured around guiding principles. Those principles can be classified within three different categories : two major categories depend on the trial actor that is primarily concerned, either the judge or the parties; a third and additional category pertaining to procedural protections, fosters the essential qualities of the judge and secure the protection of the parties’ rights. A gradation of the requirements of the constitutional Council is discreetly perceptible between the first two categories of principles, and more easily identifiable between those first two categories and the last one. This decreasing scale of “density” yoked to the trial guiding principles highlights a genuine judicial policy when it comes to procedural constitutional law, emphasizing access to the judge, whom is given essential qualities in order to achieve its judicial duty. However, the action of the French constitutional judge, as satisfactory as it is towards the rights of the trial, would easily support the intervention of the constituent power in order to update Justice’s constitutional status

碩士<br>銘傳大學<br>公共事務學系兩岸關係與安全管理碩士在職專班<br>100<br>With the multi-development of industrial and commercial activities, the society tends to become more and more diverse and complicated, which increases the work loads of local police stations. Therefore, the responsibilities of chiefs are getting more crucial because their commitments of work affect public secruity seriously. Chiefs are essential local managements among the police hierarchy. They are responsible for enforcing the laws and maintaining efficent local police forces by ways of supervision, instruction and management, and they are supposed to complete the missions on schedule assigned by supervisors. The management of local police stations by chiefs has a great influence on the efficiency of police officers and on the promotion of local police administration. This study, through qualitative research, includes in-depth interviews with chiefs of local police stations in Taipei City, highlighting the following four orientations: management, evaluation, duty achievements, and discipline. The results of the analysis are as follows:
a. Interior management: Strengthen both service discipline and interior management with instructing tirelessly and directing precisely. If there is any problem, handle it immediately and report to the supervisors, achieving the goal of flawless performance.
b. Leadership: Chiefs should lead by their personal behavior and set a good example for their subordinates. They should also develop clear communication among one another to reduce cases of anonymous accusation
c. Duty achievement: Organize the police officers’ duty , distribute their service quotas fairly and make sure it is carried out infallibly. Inspire their morale by placing suitable police officers, according to their specialty, in proper positions, which allow them to do whatever they can do best and thus exert their potentiality.
d. Discipline: Declare the determination to reform abuses and demand police discipline. If chiefs find any subordinate who is against discipline, they should take actions to deal with him / her in no time and report to their supervisors. Suitable persons should also be appointed for counseling him / her and correcting his / her behavior to effectively prevent disciplinary cases from happening again.

Full textAbstract:
碩士<br>逢甲大學<br>公共政策所<br>97<br>Many studies have pointed out that leadership style is the biggest factor that affects the performance, morale, and working attitude of a subordinate. To a leader, whose most important job is to inspire his or her subordinates, and being the motivator who leads subordinates towards a certain direction to reach their expected goal, this is what most important. Additionally, it is worthwhile knowing whether the leadership style of the chiefs of police stations can be a predictor of job performance, and to understand what the possibility and results of the predictability are. It may also worthwhile to see whether we may use the leadership style as a research variable to predict the level of job performance and job satisfaction. The survey subjects of this study were mainly based on the police officers who served in the police stations of Changhua County Police Bureau. The purpose of this study is to understand the relationship among the leadership styles of the chiefs of police stations, and the job performance, and job satisfaction of police officers through relevant literature and questionnaires. We hope that the result of this study may serve as a reference for the chiefs of police stations in improving their leadership and management, and also as a reference for the basic-level police officers, in the hopes of applying the study results in the phases of supplementing staff members and educational training for leaders of police authorities, and so as to bring the human resource of basic cadre members within the police organization into full play.

Full textAbstract:
This study explores the representation of women in leadership positions in Metropolitan Police Departments (MPDs). Historically, the police career was male dominated and women were not allowed to work in the police. Democracy, changes in law, and societal beliefs opened policing as a career to women. Various legal frameworks provide for gender equality, therefore equal gender representation in the workplace is a developmental goal in South Africa. The Commission on Employment Equity (CEE, 2015) of South Africa reported that women comprised 44.8% of the economically active population, yet males were still in charge of senior management positions in South African companies. The 2015 South African Employment Equity Report indicates that women hold only 29.5% of top level management positions and 30.7% of senior management positions (CEE, 2015). These results are lower than the government’s mandated target of 44.4% management positions reserved for women. The MPDs (2017) indicated that, out of a sample of 600 women, 91 are in leadership positions. The current gender representation in MPDs’ leadership positions forms this study’s problem statement.
This study is qualitative in nature. Twenty-five South African women from the Gauteng Province from Ekurhuleni, Tshwane, and Johannesburg MPDs were interviewed. The transformative approach was used to inquire on participants’ experiences and views about gender representation, as well as women’s advancement to leadership positions in the MPDs. Data were analysed using Atlas.ti™. The results showed that culture, stereotypes, and physical fitness were perceived as barriers that hindered the representation of women in leadership positions. Furthermore, sexual and verbal harassment, bullying, discrimination against female officers at the workplace, and unimplemented policies and procedures were also hindrances. The participants recommended that the South African MPDs review human resource practices and policies to promote a positive and constructive work environment for all employees.<br>Police Practice<br>D.

The challenge of this work is to assess the importance of the municipal police in improving the safety of citizens, if gauging from this reality through contributions from the Municipal Police Guimarães.
The IV Constitutional Review in 1997, enabled the Portuguese municipalities creating administrative police bodies. These services, known as Municipal Police, have gradually come up in several municipalities.
Currently the Municipal Police have their fundamental legal regulations of Law No. 19/2004 of 20 May, which, according to the Portuguese Constitution provides that these must be seen as municipal services, which act in a space territorially delimited, which corresponds to the municipality that each belongs. Under Article 237, paragraph 3, of the Constitution, the Municipal Police are municipal services, which shall cooperate in the maintenance of public order and protection of local communities, acting in cooperation with the security forces, public security functions.
The safety concept has been taking an increasingly significant importance within the population. Is also no doubt say that, currently, insecurity affects all of society and is a major concern of law enforcement authorities.
To find suitable answers we found that there are several studies on these subjects. In order to be able to make our contribution, text looks us on this subject, having had the support of the Municipal Police Guimarães, in the preparation of this work.
Thus, based on a survey, they were sounded out, as privileged actors, agents of the Municipal Police Guimarães, in order to know their perceptions with regard to security issues faced in the context of security. We understand ask them to answer in particular the following questions: What are the most facilitators situations of crime? How important is the Municipal Police Guimarães in crime prevention? What are the strategies for prevention of incivilities? What other skills that can be conferred upon the Municipal Police?
The results obtained allowed us to conclude that incivilities facilitate the occurrence of crimes and that the Municipal Police may have a more active role in the security of the population. If you were given other duties, in addition to that already have, the Municipal Police could reach another level of effectiveness. However we understand that any change to the tasks of this police need a serious and profound reflection, to find complementary alternatives with the security forces, which does not conflict with current assignments of any of the parties or with the interests of citizens.<br>O desafio do presente trabalho consistiu em avaliar a importância da Polícia Municipal na melhoria da segurança dos cidadãos, aferindo-se desta realidade através de contributos da Polícia Municipal de Guimarães.
A IV Revisão Constitucional, em 1997, possibilitou aos municípios portugueses a criação de corpos de polícia administrativa. Estes serviços, designados por Polícias Municipais, têm vindo a surgir gradualmente em vários concelhos.
Atualmente as Polícias Municipais têm a sua regulamentação jurídica fundamental na Lei n.º 19/2004, de 20 de maio, que, em conformidade com a Constituição da República Portuguesa, estabelece que estas devem ser vistas como serviços municipais, que atuam num espaço territorialmente delimitado, que corresponde ao município a que cada uma pertence. Nos termos do artigo 237º, nº 3, da Constituição, as Polícias Municipais são serviços municipalizados, que devem cooperar na manutenção da ordem pública e na proteção das comunidades locais, exercendo, em cooperação com as forças de segurança, funções de segurança pública.
O conceito de segurança vem assumindo uma importância cada vez mais relevante junto das populações. É igualmente inquestionável afirmar que, atualmente, a insegurança atinge toda a sociedade e é uma das maiores preocupações das autoridades policiais.
Para se encontrar respostas adequadas, apurámos que existem vários estudos sobre estas temáticas. A fim de podermos dar o nosso contributo, debruçamo-nos sobre este assunto, tendo tido o apoio da Polícia Municipal de Guimarães, na elaboração deste trabalho.
Assim, tendo por base um inquérito, foram auscultados, enquanto atores privilegiados, os agentes da Polícia Municipal de Guimarães, de forma a conhecermos as suas perceções relativamente aos problemas de segurança com que se deparam, no âmbito da segurança. Entendemos solicitar-lhes resposta em particular às seguintes questões: Quais as situações mais facilitadores de crime? Qual a importância da Polícia Municipal de Guimarães na prevenção criminal? Quais as estratégias para prevenção das incivilidades? Que outras competências que podem ser conferidas às Polícias Municipais?
Os resultados apurados permitiram-nos concluir que as incivilidades facilitam a ocorrência de crimes e que as Polícias Municipais podem ter um papel mais interventivo na segurança das populações. Caso lhes fossem concedidas outras atribuições, além das que já possuem, as Polícias Municipais poderiam alcançar outro nível de eficácia. No entanto entendemos que qualquer alteração às atribuições desta polícia, necessitará de uma reflexão séria e profunda, que encontre alternativas de complementaridade com as forças de segurança, que não colida com as atribuições atuais de alguma das partes, nem com os interesses dos cidadãos.

Human migration in the world is an old and on-going phenomenon. Humans move from place to place across local and international boundaries for various reasons. International migration requires documentation such as visas, passports, resident and work permits that are required for one to legally migrate to, and settle in an area. However, there are people who enter countries without documentation, and such people are referred to as undocumented migrants.
This research investigates undocumented immigration in Zambia, with reference to Lusaka City. The theoretical framework that underpinned the research comprised four theories of international migration. These were the neoclassical economics theory of migration, new economics of labour migration theory, dual labour market theory of migration, and Kunz’s refugee migration theory.
This researcher adopted the intensive research design and used the case study method, where Lusaka City (Zambia) constituted the case study area. The researcher gathered primary data from the Lusaka City Council, the Zambian immigration department headquarters, and from the informal settlements of Chibolya, Mandevu and Matero. Questionnaires were administered to the sampled immigration officers and Lusaka City Council officers, and interviews were conducted with Zambians and undocumented immigrants in the informal settlements.
The research findings showed that undocumented immigrant interviewees came from the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA) region. The undocumented immigrant interviewees entered Zambia due to the peace and economic opportunities found in the country, as well as joining their relatives, spouses and friends who were already in Zambia. Once in Zambia, the undocumented immigrant interviewees migrated to Lusaka City mainly for economic reasons. The major economic activity that undocumented immigrant interviewees were engaged in, was trade. Others were employed in the informal sector. Cooperation and complaints (challenges) characterised the co-existence between the interviewed Zambians and undocumented immigrants. Furthermore, undocumented immigrants in the case study areas brought about socio-economic and cultural benefits to the Zambians. Undocumented immigrants also contributed to socio-economic and environmental challenges in the case study areas. The Zambian government worked towards addressing the challenges of undocumented immigration in Lusaka City and above all, reducing the phenomenon.
Much literature and research on undocumented immigration focussed on the phenomenon at the national level, and not the local urban spatial scales. The research therefore aimed at investigating undocumented immigration in Zambia with specific reference to the urban locality of Lusaka City<br>Geography<br>M. Sc. (Geography)
