Abstract:
Access to electricity is an important precondition to many aspects of human and economic development. Yet, in rural sub-Saharan Africa in particular, access rates remain very low — at an average of 17% and much lower in some cases. Rural electrification in Kenya, the focus of this thesis, had only reached 7% in 2014. Given the goal of universal electrification by 2030, formulated as part of Sustainable Development Goal 7, scalable and replicable approaches that are able to support productive and non-productive uses are required. Mini-grids are one promising solution to this problem, alongside grid extension and off-grid approaches such as solar home systems. However, their long-term operational sustainability has historically been a challenge. While the academic literature to date on sustainable energy access has largely been two-dimensional in its analysis of mini-grids (focusing on technology and economics or financing), this thesis contributes to an emerging body of recent contributions to the literature, which have begun to foreground socio-cultural considerations. Bridging the literature on collective action for common-pool resource (CPR) management and property rights theory, a refined theoretical framework is produced for the purpose of analysing the institutional conditions for sustainable management of rural mini-grids. The utility of this framework and of treating electricity in a mini-grid as a CPR is demonstrated via empirical analysis of three case studies of mini-grids in rural Kenya and evidence from 24 expert interviews. This yields insights on nontechnological approaches to addressing operational challenges relating to sustainable mini-grid management, e.g. fair allocation of limited amounts of electricity to different consumers in ways that are acceptable to the entire community. This thesis develops contributions to the literature on sustainable CPR management and collective action, property rights theory and energy access in developing countries. From these theoretical and empirical insights, it explores a novel institutional structure for sustainable management of pro-poor mini-grids in the form of a community–private property hybrid management platform, thereby opening up opportunities for future research into the implementation of such a platform. The thesis represents the first comprehensive attempt to analyse the institutional aspects of pro-poor mini-grid management as well as the first comprehensive attempt to treat electricity in a mini-grid as a CPR.

Abstract:
This study investigated the relationship between SAPS performance management and measurement assessment patterns and public perceptions of the effectiveness of SAPS. The Performance Management System (PMS) and the Performance Measurement System (PMS1) of SAPS were investigated and it was looked at whether there is a correlation between them. The two internal measurement systems i.e. PMS and PMS1 were compared with the perception of the community about service delivery effectiveness of SAPS. Seven police stations in the Queenstown Cluster participated in the study. Semi-structured interviews were used to gather data from the Cluster Commander, Station Commanders, Production personnel and members of the community. The findings indicated that SAPS has challenges in implementing PMS. Matters of honesty and trust were seen as contributing factors to these challenges. The internal performance management tools do not take into consideration the needs of the community. This transpired on the results of internal performance management which indicated police stations and their members to be performing satisfactory while the community is not satisfied with the police station performance.

If rail transit systems are to become a viable means of transportation throughout American cities, urban land use patterns must support the development and use of transit. Transit-oriented development, in which mixed land uses are clustered around transit stations in dense concentrations, offers a means of encouraging transit use and decreasing reliance on automobiles in urban settings. Transit agencies have the opportunity to contribute to this development pattern by incorporating mixed-use transit facilities into their rail systems. These facilities, typically developed through public-private partnerships, incorporate other uses into sites with transit stations. They increase activity around the station and attract additional development to the area. Unfortunately, many transit agencies have little experience with developing mixed use facilities and are reluctant to undertake such projects. The agencies are intimidated by the additional design, financial, and administrative requirements of the development process. The goal of this thesis is to generate a set of principles that provides transit agencies with a foundation of knowledge for approaching mixed-use and joint development projects. The proposed principles strive to maximize the benefits generated by the facilities and increase the likelihood of such development activity occurring successfully. Three aspects of the development process are chosen for attention: site selection, basic elements of facility design, and implementation. The thesis begins with a review of design and development theory and past development strategies to identify the key issues relevant to these types of projects. A set of principles targeting the three aspects of the development process is proposed, based on the issues identified in the research. The principles are then applied to transit agencies and station sites in two cities: San Juan, Puerto Rico and Chicago, Illinois; evaluations and recommendations are made for each city. The application to real world situations allows the principles to be tested and assessed. The thesis concludes with a review of the results for these cities, a critique of the proposed principles, and suggestions for further research on the topic.

Abstract:
This dissertation studies the negotiated space of urban regeneration in Hong Kong through an investigation into the dynamics among the government, citizen, and the contingent local context. Hong Kong is a city where changes and transformations happen frequently and mingle with various sectors, and these changes have been influential to the practice and objectives of urban regeneration. Urban regeneration in Hong Kong has long been criticized as economy-led and physically-focused; there was also projects which received vigorous disagreement from the people; the government initiated to carry out public consultation practices, but the effects were regarded as bureaucratic and tokenistic. Not until recent years, the strength of the civil voices and actions has successfully led to a change in the authority’s attitude in spatial treatment. Given this background, this dissertation asks how the process of urban regeneration has changed, why it changed, and ultimately, what we can learn from the changes. To better answer these questions, the dramatic development process of Central Police Station Compound (CPSC) is taken as a case study. The original commercial plan to redevelop the declared monuments of CPSC was replaced by a better welcomed and acknowledged revitalization plan after a series of civic activities. The transition is a visualization of the gap between the conception of the producer of space, and the lived experience of the user of space. Analyzed with a theoretical framework built upon Henri Lefebvre’s spatial theories and the concepts of urban regeneration, it is found that the missing comprehension between the government and the people rooted the struggles and conflicts during the course of development. At the end, it is argued that a truly sustainable urban regeneration is made possible only by the healthy dynamics among the government and citizen, both of whom should continuously make separate but complementary efforts.

Abstract:
The nature of values is explored in the aspects of law, property rights, town planning, environmental management, sustainable development, and conservation economics. The findings are roughly grouped as non-calculus and calculus approach for easy discussion. Each interpretation has its own complex but different theoretical basis on values. But a more convincing approach is enlightened by Cheung’s idea on transaction costs, in which many options for conservation are possible but the option with the least transaction costs is the most preferred. Lai’s idea on relationship between conservation and sustainability has provided a theoretical framework on the recent R-scheme, which opens a new way of conservation echoed with Cheung’s idea. The idea of conserving for public interest is explored, and found that the idea is not well tested because of the vague definition. In deciding actions on conservation, a clearer understanding on the relative gain and loss on each option can help to make a more sensible choice. The situation of both international and local HIA implementation was reviewed, and found that despite HK is becoming an important laboratory for HIA, the theoretical basis for HIA is inadequate. A critical review or audit on HIA implementation is conducted. It was found that the HK HIA mechanism is in lack of legitimate support, and may become another piece of bureaucratic procedure. Continuous evaluation on HIA implement throughout the whole processes is important.

Most urban planning practitioners agree that development near transit stations should be dense, should mix uses and should be oriented for pedestrians. To spur transit-oriented development, government must do two things: define the elements that make transit station-area design work, and create the regulations and process that ensures these elements become a part of station-area development. This thesis finds the elements that create a superior pedestrian experience near transit stations, and proposes a system of regulations, incentives and processes to make sure that developers integrate these elements into their projects. Design recommendations are based upon a review of successful and unsuccessful design elements at twenty-one case study station areas in California, Virginia and Arizona. Regulatory and process recommendations are based upon a review of four case study communities that have instituted different strategies for design. Conclusions are drawn from these cases and applied to the Tren Urbano system, a new rail system being completed in metropolitan San Juan, Puerto Rico. To successfully spur private development of high quality station-area projects, government must connect the four elements that influence design: the development community, the government institutions, the development process, and the regulatory framework. First, planners must choose to strengthen either development processes or regulatory framework. In places with a more politically volatile culture, it is better to strengthen regulations than to strengthen process. In stable political environments, it is better to rely on a stronger development process than a stronger regulatory framework. Institutional capacity and development community capacity both improve as government and the development community learn from each other. This feedback loop creates progressively stronger results. In San Juan, the regulatory framework needs to be strengthened, while the development process needs to be institutionalized. The institutional capacity, particularly at the Tren Urbano planning office, is strong. This capacity needs to be transferred into other government agencies and into the development community that will build projects in the station area.

Abstract:

During the last years a great effort has taken place to create a common IT-strategy within the Swedish national police board. This to establish a foundation for decision making concerning strategy principles was formed on the activity. The principles describes how the technical architecture is going to be developed and shapes the major rule and direction that’s makes the decision possible. To investigate and use products that is used already within the organisation shall primary take in consideration. Also is the usage of established industrial standards important to create cooperation and exchange between application and platforms. The choose of programming language Java and the service oriented architecture is a direct cause of the IT-strategy and was adopted to make the organisation to be platforms independent

The purpose with this master thesis has been to draw up specifications of the demands for a developing tool for geographic information system (GIS) that are in line with the IT-strategy and in collaboration with affected personal on the Swedish national police board. A comparison study has been the procedure to examine the choice of GIS solution for similar organisations and it has been guiding in the work with specification of demands. In the first phase only the demands on Java have been significant on closed and open source software that has been investigated. Next the chosen developing tools has been verified against the specification of demands and resulted in a recommendation. Although the Swedish national police board doesn’t have an official policy for open source products the proposal of the software GeoTools is going to be feasible after up coming investigation about open source software is finished. Concerning the proposal for closed software has ended up in alternative solutions depending on short or long term solutions. MapXtreme Java and Oracle Spatial consider being equivalent alternitivs for a long term solution while MapObjects Java considers being appropriate choice for a short term solution.


De senaste åren har ett omfattande arbete lagts ner på att skapa en gemensam IT-strategi inom Rikspolisstyrelsen (RPS). För att få en stabil grund för att fatta beslut kring denna strategi har principer som grundas på verksamheten tagits fram. Dessa beskriver hur den tekniska arkitekturen ska byggas och formar de styrande regler och riktlinjer som möjliggör besluten. Att undersöka och använda produkter som redan finns inom organisationen ska komma i första hand. Likaså är användandet av etablerade industristandarder viktiga då de medför samverkan och utbyte av data mellan applikationer och plattformar. Valet av programspråket Java och en serviceorienterad arkitektur är en direkt följd av IT-strategin och gjordes för att organisationen ska vara plattformsoberoende.

Syftet med detta examensarbete har varit att utarbeta en kravspecifikation för ett utvecklingsverktyg inom geografiska informationssystem (GIS) som överensstämmer med IT-strategin och i samråd med berörd personal på RPS. En studie av tillvägagångssätt vid val av GIS-lösning för liknande organisationer har gett värdefull vägledning i arbetet med kravspecifikationen. I ett första skede har endast kravet på Java haft betydelse då både proprietära och öppna programvaror har studerats och jämförts. Därefter har utvalda utvecklingsverktyg ställts mot kravspecifikationen för att resultera i en rekommendation. Då RPS inte har någon uttalad policy för öppen programvara blir bedömningen av GeoTools som mest lämpade utvecklingsverktyg, aktuell först när kommande utredning om öppen programvara är avslutad. Angående bedömning av proprietär programvara har den lett till alternativa lösningar beroende på om inköpet av utvecklingsverktyg ska ha en kort- eller långvarig lösning. MapXtreme Java och Oracle Spatial bedöms vara likvärdiga alternativ för den långvariga lösningen medan MapObjects Java bedöms vara lämpligt val vid en kortvarig lösning.

Thesis (MPhil) -- University of Stellenbosch, 2001.
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Community radio stations in South Africa are faced with a huge challenge to become sustainable in the process of serving their communities. The issue of sustainability itself is complex and shaped by a range of conditionalities. These include community participation, funding, regulatory and licencing factors, staff and management expertise, and the strategic planning and management capacity of a station. Often the communities themselves are materially poor and unable to contribute in monetary terms to the radio station. However, these same communities are also a source of wealth when it comes to experience, ideas, human power and time. A major challenge is for station management to develop organisational strategies that facilitate full utilisation of this community resource in the process of sustaining their stations. The focus of this study is on two stations in the Western Cape - Bush Radio and Radio Zibonele - and how their management is responding to the challenge of sustainability. Bush Radio has evolved a diversification strategy based on providing formal training and development as an income-generator, and Radio Zibonele has responded through a strategy of selling airtime to advertisers. This work describes these sustainability strategies and explores whether they constitute 'building a brick column or a brick wall'. The conclusion suggests that while both radio stations demonstrate varying degrees of community participation, clear internal systems of monitoring and control of resources, they differ in some fundamental respects of strategy. Bush Radio, on the one hand, shows a clear commitment to consciously diversifying income sources in a way that does not leave the station highly dependent on any single source. This, the writer submits, constitutes an attempt at building a "brick wall". Radio Zibonele, on the other hand, shows a clear commitment to consolidation and reliance on advertising revenue as a single source of income for the station. To the extent that this station relies on a single source of income and does not demonstrate any strategic objective of diversifying sources, the writer submits, it is building a "brick column". The basic assumption of this study is that while the challenge of sustainability constitutes an objective reality facing community radio stations in South Africa today, the subjective responses developed by station management to deal with this challenge can and often do make a difference.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Gemeenskapsradiostasies in Suid-Afrika staan voor 'n groot uitdaging om volhoubaar te ontwikkel. Volhoubaarheid as sulks is kompleks en word deur 'n verskeidenheid faktore beinvloed. Dit sluit in gemeenskapsdeelname, befondsing, regulerings- en lisensierinqsfaktore, personeel- en bestuursvernuf en die strategiese beplanning en bestuurskapasiteit van die stasie. Meestal is die gemeenskappe self arm en nie daartoe in staat om in rnonetere terme 'n bydrae tot die stasie te lewer nie. Dieselfde gemeenskappe is egter ook 'n bron van rykdom in terme van ondervinding, idees, mannekrag en tyd. Een van 'n stasiebestuur se grootste uitdagings is om organisatoriese strateqiee te ontwikkel wat die volle gebruik van die gemeenskapshulpbron sal fasiliteer in die proses om hul stasies volhoubaar te ontwikkel. Die fokus van die studie val op twee stasies in die Wes-Kaap - Bush Radio en Radio Zibonele - en hoe hul bestuur op die uitdaging van volhoubare ontwikkeling reageer. Bush Radio het 'n diversifiseringstrategie ontwikkel wat op formele onderig en ontwikkeling as 'n inkomstegenereerder gebaseer is. Radio Zibonele, daarenteen, konsentreer op adverteerders. Die werk beskryf die volhoubaarheidstrategiee elk van die radiostasies. Die gevolgtrekking word gemaak dat albei radiostasies wei verskillende grade van gemeenskapsbetrokkenheid, duidelike interne monitorsisteme en beheer van hulpbronne het. Tog verskil hulle ten opsigte van sekere fundamentele strategiee. Aan die een kant het Bush Radio 'n duidelike verbintenis tot 'n bewustelike diversifisering van inkomste op so 'n manier dat die stasie nie afhanklik is van een bron van inkomste nie. Die skrywer vergelyk dit met die bou van 'n "baksteenmuur". Radio Zibonele, aan die ander kant, is verbind tot advertensies as die enigste bron van inkomste. Aangesien die stasie op 'n enkele bron van inkomste vertrou en nie enige strategiese doelwitle vir die diversifisering van hulpbronne het nie, vergelyk die skrywer dit met die bou van 'n "baksteenpilaar" . Die basiese veronderstelling van die studie is dat die reaksie van die stasiebestuur In deurslaggerwende verskil kan maak om die uitdaging van volhoubare ontwikkeling Suid- Afrikaanse radiostasies die hoof te bied.

Abstract:
The Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA) Transit Oriented Development (TOD) program has been expanding the number of stations being considered for development of surface parking lots and into the air rights over certain rail stations. As of 2015, MARTA has six rail stations in various stages of TOD development, which will increase multi-modal options for metro Atlanta residents. The overarching goal of TOD development is to increase transit ridership and reduce auto-dependency; hence quantifying the potential benefits of TOD development in terms of ridership is paramount. Despite several drawbacks, travel demand models have historically been utilized to forecast ridership for land use changes and transit improvements. Direct ridership models (DRMs) are transit demand forecasting methods that can be applied to land development in cases where traditional travel demand models (TDMs) are not well suited. DRMs leverage geographic tools commonly used by planners to take advantage of small scale pedestrian environment factors immediately surrounding transit stations. Although DRM data and methods can achieve greater precision in predicting local walk-access transit trips, the lack of regional and large-scale datasets reduces the ability to model ridership generated from riders outside the immediate vicinity of the rail stations. Stations that have high multi-modal access trips, particularly via personal vehicle and connecting buses, are not typically accounted for by DRMs. Hence, this study focuses on pedestrian-based rail boardings only, a metric that also allows the use of a large scale onboard survey distributed by the Atlanta Regional Commission (ARC) in late 2009 and early 2010 in Atlanta, Georgia. Analysis of the large scale on-board ridership survey also reveals variables that may be useful in forecasting ridership at the station level when coupled with available census data. Comparison of variables such as income, age, gender, ethnicity, and race from census data with the large scale survey guided the selection of candidate variables to be included in a DRM for MARTA rail stations. Results from the comparison showed that using census data in DRMs does not always accurately reflect the ridership demographics. Notable differences in pedestrian-based ridership and transit catchments appear to occur in populations making less than $40,000, African American populations, and the young and elderly populations. Large differences in the survey and census data reported around the stations raise questions about the usability of census data in predicting ridership at rail stations. Despite the shortcomings of using census data to directly predict walk access transit ridership, an ordinary least squared (OLS) regression model predicts a high proportion of variance of pedestrian-based ridership in Atlanta, Georgia. A small number of variables were incorporated into a DRM to show the strong relationship of employment density with pedestrian based ridership. The number of low income residents was also influential in increasing ridership via walk access.

Full text
Abstract:
Collisions involving police vehicles or occurring as a result of police activity resulted in over 2000 casualties and 31 deaths in England and Wales in 2003-4. The assessment of police driver risk is currently restricted to subjective evaluations carried out by members of each force's police driver training team. Objective risk assessments are becoming increasingly popular with private companies operating fleets of vehicles, in an attempt to target training interventions at the drivers who are most at risk of collision involvement. This thesis reports the development of a psychometric measure of police driver risk using a series of qualitative and quantitative methods. The Driver Stress Inventory (DSI) was administered to 302 police drivers to establish its suitability as a basis on which to build the Police Driver Risk Index (PDRI). The Driver Stress Inventory is a well-established psychometric measure of driver stress, which consists of five behavioural factors and five coping factors. The DSI factor structure was largely replicated for the police sample. The generation of new police-specific items was facilitated by a series of in-depth semi- structured interviews with standard and advanced police drivers. The transcripts were analysed for common themes and items were generated from this analysis. The new PDRI was administered to a sample of 333 police drivers, and a Principal Components Analysis was carried out in order to establish the new factor structure and identify items contributing to the risk profile. Further refinement was carried out using an Item Discrimination Analysis, which allowed the length of the test to be reduced further. The effects of demographic and situational data on PDRI factor scores was investigated, and group differences were reported for age, sex, driving experience, and collision involvement. Test-retest reliability was investigated and a validation study using observational data, driver self-assessment and trainer assessment was carried out. The Police Driver Risk Index will be used to identify drivers at «highest risk of involvement in a collision, and pinpoint the areas in which they require remedial training. This will allow police forces to target their driver training resources more effectively.

Abstract:
Leadership and leadership development in the modern police service has been regularly reviewed under successive government reform agendas. To date there has been no robust evaluative study in the UK policing context of the effectiveness of particular leadership styles or of leadership development programmes. This research evaluates a Hampshire Constabulary leadership development programme for middle managers, namely police Sergeants, and studies the broader aspects of leadership development at this middle management level, focusing on the knowledge, understanding and skills required to apply leadership in the contemporary policing context and as defined by the Hampshire Constabulary Leadership Charter. The case study used one-to-one interviews and focus groups with key stakeholders involved in the leadership training and development of police officer middle managers: a cohort of officers at different stages both before and after the Leadership and Management Programme (First Line Manager - Level 1); their subordinates and line managers; training staff; the Hampshire Constabulary Leadership and Professional Development Manager; and Chief Constable. The fieldwork was supported by documentary analysis of relevant training material and national reports. Three main themes emerged that advance leadership and leadership development theory in the policing context: a trait-based skills model of leadership which was supported by the terms of the Constabulary’s Leadership Charter; the police officer middle manager as ‘intermediary’ between frontline practitioners and senior management; and the positive relationship between factors which enhance police officer middle manager performance and their perceived leadership self-efficacy. The ability to effectively manage emotions is also key to effective police middle management leadership performance. A framework for a detailed model of effective leadership development for police officers at middle management level is proposed which recognises their influential role in supporting staff and managing organisational change during a period of wider public sector reform.

Abstract:
This thesis is a case study analysis of the dream one radio station had about creating something new and unique on the Internet. RadioSonderGrense (RSG), an Afrikaans South African radio station, saw opportunities for themselves as a radio station on the Internet and put enormous resources and man-power into their venture. Their vision of what the Internet could bring to their radio station, and what they could bring to a website set the ground for creative and innovative thought. This dissertation is an examination of whether the Internet lived up to the expectations RSG had for it, and whether they were able to use their resources (in terms of their audience, their advertisers and the uniqueness of radio) to create something new and never seen before. The foremost aim of this dissertation is to shed some light onto the up-to-now under researched area of why radio stations have begun to develop on the Internet. Through the analysis of RSG, their comes to this subject some new thoughts and ideas about the convergence of these two mediums. RSG, and radio in general, are examined historically, practically and in comparison to the Internet. This is done in order to fully grasp the project that RSG had set for themselves and to realize where they had come from and where they hoped to go. It is argued that although RSG had hoped for great things, their innovative thought was not enough to guarantee them their dreams. They were not able to fully utilize the resources available to them in combination with what the Internet could offer them to fulfill the expectations they had for themselves. The foremost conclusion is that although RSG were able to envisage what the Internet could add to the radio station, they fell short of giving their listeners, users and advertisers a tool which could make the RSG website truly unique. Their website gives the user some interesting and useful applications, but it does not make full use of what the Internet and radio together could create.

Abstract:
This thesis examines the emergence and current situation of community radio stations in Taiwan, which have been perceived as an important part of a media public sphere for people to access and participate in. It therefore needs to consider community and community radio stations in both Western and Taiwanese contexts, and work by Habermas and others concerning the `public sphere' with reference to the current situation. In-depth interviews, content analysis and document analysis have been used in collecting research data. The factors which influence the development of community radio stations as an aspect of the public sphere in Taiwanese society are shown to be the impact of the state, in the first place, and then commercial market pressures. In addition, the development of communication technology has shown its potential effects by re-defining the meaning of `community' and `radio station'. The research goes on to examine the institution and output of the community radio stations, their interaction with society, and their relationship with their users. We find that the development of community radio stations in Taiwan is characterised by diverse formations: they are public spaces for the members of community to share and discuss public issues; they are hybridised public spheres for people to share personal emotion and talk about private affairs; they are also an expansion of the broadcasting market to further commercial interests. However, this development of community radio stations reflects the social reality of the existing and necessarily plural public spheres

Transit oriented development (TOD) has been an emerging concept in Jakarta, particularly since the construction of the new Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) and Light Rail Transit (LRT). Besides the two incoming new transits, Jakarta operates an existing Commuter Line, which has a significant ridership, even compared to the forecasted ridership of the MRT Line and the LRT Line, and an extensive network coverage across the metropolitan area. The emerging TOD in Jakarta mainly focuses on producing typical vertical mixed-use development, though there are supposed to be many TOD approaches that encompass various scales in response to different contexts. This thesis seeks to provide a comprehensive approach to achieve a sustainable TOD, using the Commuter Line as the case study Two imperative studies in TOD planning are combined in this thesis. The first is to investigate TOD as a network of different node, place, and market values. This thesis adopts the Three Value (3V) Framework, which is developed by Salat and Ollivier (2017) for the World Bank. The interplay of the three values distinguishes the development potential of each station and helps create a series of TOD typologies. The second is to investigate station neighborhood as an area for development itself. From the first study, three stations are considered as TOD areas and are selected as case studies to understand the prevalent urban fabric around the stations and how future development could and should transpire on such fabric. The combination of the two studies could help decision-makers better allocate and prioritize different development approaches within the Jakarta transit network to achieve a sustainable TOD.

Resumo: Esta dissertação tem por objetivo investigar os documentos oficiais produzidos pela Delegacia de Defesa da Mulher (DDM) de Campinas, em casos de estupro e atentado violento ao pudor ocorridos nos anos de 2004 e 2005. Por meio de uma etnografia desses documentos, busquei entender as formas narrativas e burocráticas pelas quais esses atos são transformados em crimes e busquei também a compreensão de como a sexualidade passa a ser campo de intervenção da polícia civil especializada de Campinas. Objetivando delinear as formas pelas quais os inquéritos policiais são produzidos, essa pesquisa tem como cerne os procedimentos de escrita utilizados por essas profissionais, sejam esses ofícios, requisições, relatórios, laudos, termos de declaração e Boletins de Ocorrências. Essas formas de narrar evidenciam não só as convenções narrativas que servem de anteparo para a escrita, mas também os mecanismos pelos quais o trabalho policial é executado. Assim, seja por meio de uma escrita técnica próxima aos expedientes detetivescos, seja por meio de uma forma de escrever sensível e empática ao sofrimento das crianças ou ainda por aquela forma que coloca em suspensão o que é dito em casos de crimes envoltos em conflitos infrafamiliares, é a arte de escrever o ofício policial que ganhará destaque nessa dissertação. Entretanto, também insígnias, carimbos e assinaturas que percorrem os inquéritos policiais são fundamentais nesta pesquisa, pois colocam em evidência as tramas institucionais nas quais a polícia especializada de Campinas está imersa. Sem dúvida, é mediante papéis e por intermédio deles que a polícia se comunica com instituições tais como Fórum Criminal, Instituto Médico Legal e Instituto de Criminalística da cidade. Mas, é também por meio desses mesmos papéis que a DDM comunica estupros e atentados violento ao pudor ao Judiciário. Nas páginas desta dissertação enredaremos nas histórias de mulheres como Marcelas, Joanas, Madalenas e Martas, bem como com os abusos de menores como Anas, Carolinas, Julianas e Lucas. É por meio delas que homens como João, Ricardo, Valmir, Antônio, José, Gilberto e Aldair entram nos meandros burocráticos da polícia civil como autores, averiguados ou indiciados
Abstract: This dissertation aims to investigate the official documents produced by the Women's Police Stations (DDM) in Campinas in cases of rape and indecent assault occurred in 2004 and 2005. Through an ethnography of those documents I sought to understand the narrative and bureaucratic form by the way these acts are transformed into crimes and also to understand how sexuality becomes a specialized Civilian Police interventional field in Campinas. Aiming to outline the ways in which police investigations are produced, the heart of this research is in the written procedures used by professionals. These are letters, requests, reports, findings, terms of statements and Occurrences Reports. These forms of narrative show up the narrative conventions that serve as foundation for the writing and also the mechanisms by which police work is performed. Therefore, either through a technical writing next to detective tasks either by a sensitive and empathetic way of writing about children's suffering or by the one who puts in suspension what is said in cases of crimes wrapped in infrafamiliares conflicts, the art of writing the police's office that will gain prominence in this dissertation. However, there are badges, stamps and signatures that cross the police investigations and are also essential in this research because they put in evidence the plots in which the institutional specialized police Campinas is immersed. Undoubtedly it's by papers and through them that the police communicate with institutions such as Criminal Forum of Campinas, Institute of Forensic Medicine and Institute of Criminology of the city.But it is also through these same roles that the DDM communicates rapes and violent assaults to the judiciary. In the pages of this dissertation we are enmeshed in the stories of women like Marcelas, Joanas, Madalenas e Martas, as well as the abuse's stories of minors as Anas, Carolinas, Julianas and Lucas. It is through them that men like João, Ricardo, Valmir, Antonio, José, Gilberto and Aldair enter into the bureaucratic intricacies of the Civilian Police as investigated or indicted authors

The organizational change is the process which the organization changed from their present state to the future state. And the organization can be promoted its efficiency through this process. “Vision” provides a picture of the future. The organization should produce their vision from bottom to top. First, their members must discuss which element is indispensable in the “vision”? Why will some elements be got rid of? Why do some elements conflict with each others? Then, they must consider whether these elements fit in with the procedure established before. At the same time, they must explore the members’ mental model one by one in the organization, consider and verify its dependence carefully. Zaltman brought up the underlying motivation that influence a person’s decision. Because approximately 95% thought occurs in the unconscious, most of these factors are missed by traditional research methods. An exclusive research tool, ZMET was founded by Professor Gerald Zaltman of the Harvard Business School. The ZMET approach uses visual images, metaphors to elicit information from research participants. It uses construct elicitation and consensus maps to uncover information about the customers and what truly motives their decisions. And these are just a necessary process for constructing vision. So in this research, I choose Police Radio Station as an example, and use ZMET as a research tool on their staff's to uncover their perception of vision in the organizational development after the organizational change. The major findings of this study are as follows: 1. Everyone will have different understanding about the same picture, and so do people in different positions. 2. After analyzing the ZMET data of staffs’ perception of vision, we have some results: (1) Official staffs concern the organizational development and group’s operation and hope to have a specialized leader who give the definite goals for the organization and manage it continuously forever. (2)Nonofficial staffs pay attention to personal right and work and never approve bureaucracy. They hope to offer freedom, and do the public service well. (3) All staffs’ common visions are as follows: They want a specialized leader who will influence the future directions, improve efficiency, reconstruct bureaucracy and manage continuously. Metaphors are fundamental to human thought. In the study, metaphors in ZMET show us the staffs’ vision concepts. This proofs ZMET approach can use on uncovering the perception of vision in the organizational development that traditional methods do not capture. No matter in communicated media, questions setting, construct elicitation or consensus vision, using ZMET approach may avoid the misunderstandings which the tradition methods may get. And we will have a clear result through analyzing mental maps and consensus maps. Then we can realize the picture and find the most important core concepts and concrete ways to create a brand new vision structure.

The question of the use of languages in radio broadcasting is of particular importance in multilingual communities in Vhembe district of Limpopo province. The Independent Communications Authority of South Africa (ICASA) issues broadcasting licenses, and further regulates conditions of implementation of these licenses. The purpose of this study is to explore the extent to which community radio stations in Vhembe district adhere to ICASA language policies and guidelines stipulated in their licenses. Literature was drawn from government language policy documents (Acts, rules and regulations), broadcasting legislative framework manuals (ICASA), government gazettes, books, journals, magazines, and newspapers. The design for the study is exploratory, whereas the target population comprised of seven (7) community radio stations, fifteen (15) radio programmes, and station managers of community radio stations in the Vhembe district. Purposive sampling was used to select three community radio stations, three programmes per station and station manager of each sampled station. Non-participant observation, documents analysis and tape recorder were used as instruments for data collection, whereby the researcher observed, recorded a total of (nine) 9 talk format programmes. The researcher further analysed documents (broadcasting licenses and programme schedules), from sampled radio stations, to examine stipulated language quotas by ICASA. Lastly, the researcher employed unstructured interviews to collect data from the station managers of community radio stations, in the Vhembe district. The sampled data was analysed through qualitative content analysis and interpreted subsequently. Findings from data analysis determined that community radio stations partially adhere to the policies stipulated in their licenses.

A local police station is the touch point with the general public, which pushes forward government’s policy, excuses laws and decrees, and serves people etc. But present evaluation system that lacks fairness and objectiveness is contentious. As shown in the literatures, the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) which utilizes the non-parameteric method to evaluate the performance is much fair for the performance evaluation of branches in an organization. It can emphasize the fairness of the performance evaluation to local police stations and provide higher-level management a new thinking of performance evaluation to local place stations. This study was based on the data collected from Keelung local police stations of the year of 2004. We took data from local police stations about the number of policeman, the number of criminal cases, the number of traffic accident and area complexity as input variables, and the solved criminal cases, reports of offenders, and services for the public as output variables. The CCR model of Data Envelopment Analysis is used to evaluate the overall performance of Keelung local police stations and analyze the slacks of inputs and outputs to reveal which station is really relatively effective and provide the directions of the adjustment to be effective for those stations that are relatively inefficient. Moreover, with CCR model of DEA, police stations are ranked according to the reference number in reference sets and total reference weights in reference set respectively. The results in this thesis will be helpful in the improvement of current evaluation system and provide the police department a reference to the policy in the improvement of police stations.

In recent years, the influence of rank-and-file policeman overtime working has been in the spotlight in academia. More and more studies show that constant overtime working brings negative impacts on the police, ranging from job stress, physiological effects, family relationship, organization commitment, job satisfaction to working morale, etc. However, few people want to figure out why the police are unable to work only 8 hours a day according to the [Police Services Ordinance]. I have interviewed with some chiefs and police officers in police stations through qualitative research, hoping to find the factors that affect the duty planning in police stations, and a solution to return an 8 hours/day schedule to the rank-and-file policemen. The following are what I discovered in my study: 1. Currently, the working time of the police officers in police stations of Taipei City is 12 hours a day; in general, they work 5 days and take 2 days off. 2. Various demands from different units of the sub-bureau play an important role in affecting duty planning. 3. As far as the chief of police station is concerned, daily overtime duty is necessary, plus, overtime payment is an incentive to the police officers. In the grassroots level’s opinion, the duties should be planned according to actual situations instead of a rigid schedule. 4. The current duty system has negative impacts on physical load, service quality, attitude and family relationship. 5. With a view to returning to what it should be, reducing the burden of police stations, amending the current police services, and reviewing the placement and utilization of staff may be the solution.

Till now, there are still women who have to face treatment of inequality and discrimination in many countries, but gender equalitarianism has become the target many countries, international organizations, and groups of women’s movement pursue together. Policewoman employ started in the early 20 centuries, but the number of policewomen has been limited for a long time, and policewomen’s working environments are also restricted in many ways. As gender equalitarianism is awaken, women’s movement enhances, and women and children’s safety is concern day by day, policewomen in the police organizations are pop-out gradually (Huang Tsuiwen, 2004 ). Under international trends, not only the number of policewomen in our country will rise large, but also more and more policewomen have to be assigned to field works in basic units. On the other hand, we must notice this problem that most policewomen engaged in civil works not concerned in the past time, but as the number of policewomen increases, the number of policewomen assigned to field police stations is increasing, and we must observe and research the adaption of policemen and policewomen carefully, the degree people can accept, and the effects on working efficiency and cultures in police organizations. Due to differences between the ways policewomen worked in police stations and the ways policemen did, and most policewomen engaged in being on duty and internal paper works, to realize if policewomen could engage in the same works as policemen, if they could perform independent duties as policemen, and problems they would face when working in field police stations, under the limiting factors of manpower, resources, and time, in this research we design interview outlines with samples of field policewomen in the police stations of the police bureau writer serves in, extract focuses of correlate issues from in-depth interviews by purposing sampling, and analyze correlate problems to resolve issues about performing duties in police stations after policewomen increase. In this research we realize working problems by in-depth interview and semi-structured interview outlines on space designs, duty equipments, duty planning, family life, training, and future perspectives, and in-depth interview 9 policewomen in the police stations of the Miaoli Police Bureau under the limiting factors of manpower, resources, and time, findings are: due to differences of physical fitness and congenital body shapes of police women, it creates burdens of stamina and less identification to police organizations to facing all kinds of duties in 24-hour shifts. It effects wills that policewomen perform duties and future-perspectives that they devote to duties in police stations because neither space-design nor duty-equipment fits requirements of policewomen and of family factors. Accordingly in this research we propose: 1. On duty planning: (1) Planning direct logical duty hours and reasonable of-duty system. (2) 8-hour static duty goes on the high priority during pregnancy. (3) Duty models of different kinds and on different hours should be properly adjusted. 2. On space designs and training equipments: (1) Reenforcing training of duty-performing techniques and hardiness when transacting cases. i. Reenforcing practical training and practices. ii. Reenforcing duty-performing techniques and self-defense sense. iii. Reenforcing hardiness training. iv. Reenforcing law backgrounds and ability to communicate with people. (2) Reenforcing body-shape training. (3) Improving and filling up on-hand equipments in order to promote security of policewomen on duty. (4) Improving the environments of working, preparing spaces, and dormitory in police stations. 3. On family life: (1) Building day and night baby-care and the cooperative system with nursing home. (2) Holding frequent activities between police and their family members to improve emotional communications and eliminate misdoubts. 4. On future development of policewomen’s duties: (1) It’s necessary to retain limiting sexual proportion. (2) For fill to casting system of body shape. (3) Building the reasonable systems of upsizing and transferring of policewomen.

The proposed design responds to the identified current need for new police headquarters situated in the Pretoria West district. The Pretoria West police department currently functions from three different buildings located several kilometres apart from one another. The objective therefore is to design an appropriate new police headquarters for the Pretoria West precinct. The building must accommodate all departments in one, properly functioning facility, which conforms to the needs of a police station to have controlled and private areas. The building aims to reflect this new approach to policing by creating a community orientated facility.

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. The study adopted survey method, and used the self-edited questionnaire-- “The Survey Questionnaire on the Leadership Styles of the Chiefs of Police Stations, and the Job Performances, and Job Satisfaction of the Basic-Level Police Officers”. The questionnaire survey objects of this study included the 1,248 police officers who served in the police stations of Changhua County Police Bureau, of which 327 questionnaires were dispatched through random sampling, and returned with 324 survey questionnaires, of which 290 samples were effective, and the effective ratio reached 89.51%. Then the samples collected were analyzed and studied through many statistic methods such as the Descriptive Statistics Analysis, the Independent t-test, the one-way ANOVA, the Pearson Movement Correlation, and the Multiple Stepwise Regression Analysis. The main findings of the study are summarized as follows: 1. The leadership styles and job performance are significantly correlated. 2. The leadership styles and staff’s job satisfaction are positively correlated. 3. The job performance and staff’s job satisfaction are positively correlated. 4. The variable of demographic statistics and staff’s job satisfaction are partly correlated.

The police are law enforcement agent and represent the state. They are required for rigorous moral codes and disciplines because their jobs involve in citizen’s rights and obligations. Hence, the public tend to have severe opinions against police integrity when they break the law or regulations. Police scandals often impair police’s image and create public distrust. Facing with those internal weakness and external pressure, the police authority needs to implement some valid measures to evaluation or early warning the possible risks. This research tried to set up a practical scale to assess the differential likelihood of police officers who have higher potential to break the law and moral codes. The research looked into related papers, theses and current police internal evaluation system in Taiwan. It depicted current evaluation status and problems, and came up with solutions by summarizing the previous transgress cases happened in police stations in Taipei City. It is the outcome of brainstorm of professionals, Delphi method and statistical analysis. The final suggested scale modified and ascertained the high-risk identification scale by apparent behaviors. Moreover, it improved and weighed the selected risk factors by examining the previous deviant cases of Taipei City police during 2002 through 2006. This research concluded that (1) the police officers who are likely to break the laws and misbehave tend to have lower self-control behaviors and antisocial personality; (2) low self control behavior can be detected by observing their apparent behaviors; (3) the more low self control behaviors appear, the higher risk to violate moral and legal codes; and (4) a scale of high-risk factors containing 7 fields and 56 indicators is designed to detect high risk police officers for early prevention. Several suggestions are made to prevent Taipei City police officers from breaking the moral and law codes: (1) re-examine the effectiveness of current police risk evaluation measures; (2) improve police officer training education; (3) continue police on-job training; (4) establish outsourced psychological consulting centers; (5) provide police officers’ personal financial managing skill courses; (6) monitor the frequency and patterns of police officers using telephones; and (7) strengthen the evaluation on long-term special task police officers which tend to highest risks in breaking the regulations.
