Full textAccording to President Thabo Mbeki, the fight against corruption is one of the principal tasks of his new government. Corruption is a central concern for a country that is in a difficult political transition and is facing strong economic demands. South Africa needs an effective government. The focus of this paper is one of the areas where corruption is thriving, the South African Police Service (SAPS). I have chosen for a study within the department of Safety and Security because this is the headquarters of the fight against corruption and the place where the rule of law should be rooted most deeply. If the justice-system is corrupt, the whole state will be polluted. According to the Parliamentary researcher for the Safety and Security Committee 'the current level of corruption within the overall criminal justice system is the factor most negatively influencing efforts to substantially improve safety and security in South Africa', undermining both public confidence and crime prevention strategies (Briefing Committee 1999:1). This is one motivation for writing a thesis on this topic: corruption is a central concern for those involved in South African politics. The theme of corruption is also at the heart of political organization. People organize themselves for certain goals. Whatever these goals are, corruption interferes with their effective pursuance. Studying corruption means studying the nature of government and the tension between the way it should use its power and the way it does. It is about the limits of human organization, the tension between the public and the private, and the slippery way people practice their ethics. This is another motivation for writing on this topic: corruption is a central concern for those involved in political science. In South Africa, there are widespread beliefs in the existence of corruption. In a survey published by Idasa in 1996, 46 percent of the respondents felt that most officials were engaged in corruption and only 6 percent believed there was a clean government (Lodge 1998:157). The police certainly does not have a dean reputation. In a newspaper poll over half of the respondents called the police 'corrupt and having no integrity' (Sowetan 28/3/96, quoted in Syed and Bruce 1997:2). Moreover, an opinion survey at the end of 1998 showed that 60 percent of the respondents thought the government was controlling corruption 'not very well' or 'not at all well' (Mail & Guardian 8/10/99:30). In this thesis, I want to put these figures into perspective. The purpose of the thesis is two-folded. Firstly, to provide for an analysis of the historical, political, social and organizational roots of corruption within the SAPS. Secondly, to confront this analysis - and the policy directions it suggests - with the practice of fighting corruption in South Africa.

Full textUsing the Wood Royal Commission into the New South Wales Police Service in 1994 as its major case study, this thesis hypothesises that, although this inquiry had a far reaching impact on both the personal and working lives of police officers in the organisation itself, it proved ineffectual in its attempt to control corruption. It argues that corruption, and the subsequent inquiries into this corruption, can be seen to have a cyclic nature and the failure of such inquiries has a long and international history. It contends that the nature of the public inquiry itself can be seen to contribute to the continuation of the cycle of corruption. Clearly, putting an end to corruption requires more than the investigation, public exposure and punishment of a few corrupt police, followed by a generalised tightening of the chain of command. Instead, this thesis demonstrates that the problem is primarily an organisational one and it is important to look at management reforms. This thesis contends that the cycle of corruption involves the nature of police work; the catalyst that triggers the inquiry; the inquiry itself and the issue of the report; and the police and community responses. An examination of all these factors is crucial to understanding the cycle’s dynamics. The final report of the Wood Royal Commission was in 1996 and this thesis specifically analyses the cycle of corruption in relation to the response of the police executive to this inquiry. It shows how the police response focused on the tactical crisis response central to operational policing — in this case appeasing official censure and community fears. As little more than a public relations exercise, senior management strategically addressed the specific recommendations of the report rather than creatively considering the implications exposed during the inquiry. The idea that corruption is a symptom of an ineffective system and not simply a slackening of effective control by senior management was never considered. In the aftermath of the Wood Royal Commission there was much discussion about ‘police culture’ being ‘a culture of corruption’. The forgotten casualties of the inquiry has been individual police officers, many of whom see policing as a vocation. This thesis has allowed many voices to be heard and used both qualitative and quantitative methods to analyse a wide range of information and data, which included personal interviews with serving police officers and members of external organisations, as well as printed material from Royal Commission Reports, Hansard and other government documents, internal Police Service documents and media reports.It has used Bourdieu’s theoretical approach which allows an analysis of the complex relationships involved between police officers as individuals who operate within the wider networks of a specific organisation and the way the personal is important as an explanatory tool of what happens within a policing culture and how this culture is perceived differently from within and without. Bourdieu’s theory also facilitates analysis of the interactions of this network with the wider community, putting in context the responses of both the police service and the community. The connection with the personal is important as an explanatory tool of what happens within a policing culture and how this culture is perceived differently from within and without. Bourdieu constructs an understanding of the ‘nature of the game’ of policing and the shaping of the individual within police culture, giving insight into the source of moral dilemmas, personal beliefs and personal behaviour. As the current management system of command and control is at the heart of this response, this thesis has also analysed the assumptions inherent in this management philosophy, considering both necessary operational strengths as well as organisational weaknesses. A central theme of the thesis is that open dialogue will reduce the incidence of corruption and risk within policing institutions. This thesis argues that there must be an integrative approach to reform — accountable, active leadership combined with critically constructed practical approaches that tackle the complexity of the dynamics embedded in the ‘nature of the game’ of policing itself.

Full textUm problema que afeta o desenvolvimento econômico e social de um país é a habilidade que o judiciário se apresenta como uma instância legítima para resolver os conflitos que surgem nas esferas social e de negócios. Um caminho para medir isto é a legitimidade das motivações que levam os cidadãos a confiarem ou não no judiciário. Sendo assim, esta tese busca analisar os determinantes da confiança pública no sistema judiciário no Brasil e também entender quais são as motivações que levam as pessoas a confiarem ou não no judiciário brasileiro. O capítulo 2 busca analisar a relação entre a confiança no sistema judiciário e algumas variáveis econômicas e demográficas, tais como: raça, renda, idade, gênero, experiência com o sistema judiciário e conhecimento do judiciário. Foi utilizado o Índice de Confiança na Justiça no Brasil (ICJB) como uma medida de confiança. O ICJB é uma medida de percepção, na qual mostra a opinião das pessoas sobre o judiciário no Brasil. Os resultados indicam que raça e gênero são importantes preditores de confiança no judiciário, uma vez controlado para as características dos entrevistados. Negros apresentam um nível de confiança menor comparado aos não negros. Mulheres também apresentam um nível de confiança inferior aos homens. Finalmente, os resultados indicam que pessoas com menos renda apresentam níveis de confiança no judiciário inferior aos com maior renda. Embora haja uma literatura que relaciona os determinantes de confiança no sistema judiciário e sua utilizaçao, há uma lacuna sobre a relação causal entre essas duas variáveis. O capítulo 3 dessa tese busca analisar o impacto de confiança no sistema judiciário sobre a utilização do judiciário. Sendo assim, o propósito do capítulo 3 é examinar a relação causal entre confiança no sistema judiciário e utilização do judiciário no Brasil. Os resultados indicam que há um impacto positivo de confiança no sistema judiciário sobre a sua utilização. Pessoas com maior nível de confiança no sistema judiciário apresentam maior propensão a procurá-lo. Finalmente, os resultados também indicam que há uma relação estatisticamente significante entre confiança no sistema judicário e utilização do judiciário para algumas variáveis demográficas e econômicas, tais como: renda, anos de estudo, idade e raça. O capítulo 4 busca analisar a relação entre taxas de crime e confiança na polícia. Nesse sentido, esse capítulo busca analisar a legitimidade das motivações que levam as pessoas a confiarem ou não na polícia. Algumas pessoas acreditam que a polícia é a representante linha de frente do governo, resonsável pelo controle da ordem social. Os decisores políticos e membros do público têm se preocupado muito com o número de policiais empregados para diminuir o crime. Em outras palavras, regiões com maiores índices de criminalidade possuem menor nível de confiança na polícia? Os resultados indicam que em geral, existe uma relação negativa entre o aumento no índice de criminalidade e a confiança na polícia. Tais resultados são ainda maiores para crimes menos numerosos, como o tráfico de drogas e estupro. Os resultados também indicam que quem já teve experiência com a polícia, parece não associar o trabalho dela com os índices de criminalidade, comparado com quem nunca teve experiência. Finalmente, o capítulo 5 sumariza todos os resultados encontrados nos capítulos anteriores e discute alguns novos caminhos de pesquisa que podem ser seguidos

Full textThe actual functioning of criminal justice in Africa is of little interest to social scientists. Jurists are certainly devoted to it, but they study it only under the simplistic prism of classical legal exegesis or normative analysis. Studies of its routine functioning, its relations with users and the construction of a State governed by the rule of law remain rare. Seminars or conferences emphasize only the thorny issue of the independence of the judiciary or the question of the accessibility of justice to as many people as possible. Substantial institution, criminal justice is a crucial instrument in the construction of the rule of law. Through its many interactions with its social and political environment, it aims to spread and defend the values of a State concerned about its rights and freedoms. This thesis focuses on the analysis of criminal justice in the Central African Republic and its effects on construction and the rule of law. For this purpose, it examines the behaviors of the actors of the judicial system, their individual and collective strategies as well as their relations with the political system. Similarly, it also analyzes the daily relationships that justice actors have with litigants

Full textThis study aims to answer how the democratization of security institutions in Argentina and Brazil was closely followed by a process of "mafiosisation" of their policies, based on the case of the provincial police of Buenos Aires and Rio de Janeiro. We chose to work from these two police forces since they are historically known for their corruption cases and their arbitrary practices vis-à-vis the inhabitants of disadvantaged neighborhoods. The post-dictatorship context in these two countries has led to reconfigurations in the "modus operandi" of police forces and new "mafia" dynamics have been reinforced in conjunction with the reinforcement of a security paradigm that is emerging in the very heart of these young democracies. Buenos Aires and Rio de Janeiro, each representing a "micro-universe" of their respective national frameworks, therefore offer innumerable examples to question our object of study. The first part will analyze the authoritarian legacies of the past concerning the modus operandi of the two fonts. The second part will seek to understand the reworking of this modus operandi from new forms of authoritarianism emerging in young democracies. Finally, the third part, will confront the two previous points to demonstrate to what extent their juxtaposition can create the bases of a common « mafia terroir »
