The model of peruvian collective relations: from interventionist and restrictive to promotionalThe article begins by considering a system or democratic model of labor relations implies a significant degree of self-gravitating through the presence of collective autonomy as self-regulation agreed in relations between the representatives of workers and employers. That collides with the fact thatin Latin America, with the exception of Uruguay, the model is remarkably restrictive. Although our country since the Constitutionof 1979 explicitly ascribes to the model of Social State of Law – which in the labor field was expressed in the consecration of a democratic model of labor relations, this has not had correlation with the infra-constitutional regulation.Then, the article presents the main characteristics of a democratic model of labor relations which has as main features: i.–The dialectical conception of labor relations and assignment to the conflict of a functional role within the constitutional scheme, ii.– The consecration of collective autonomy as an essential piece of the regulatory system, iii.– The promotional intervention and feeder system from the state as a notion of closure of exceptional transcendence. Finally, the article points out the principalnovelties on the subject contained in the Project of General Labor Law, the same that is in line within the new Latin American context of impulse of the collective autonomy that exists in countries like Brazil, Paraguay, Dominican Republic, Uruguay and also seeks to promote the gradual substitution of decentralized and dysfunctional model for the functioning of the country, establishing a certain preference for the sectorial bargaining. / El artículo parte de considerar que un sistema o modelo democrático de relaciones de trabajo implica un grado significativo de autodeterminación, mediante la presencia gravitante de la autonomía colectiva como la autorregulación pactada en las relaciones entre los representantes de los trabajadores y empleadores. Ello colisiona con el hecho de que en América Latina, con excepción de Uruguay, el modelo es marcadamente restrictivo. Si bien nuestro país desde la Constitución de 1979 se adscribe explícitamente al modelo de Estado Social de Derecho —lo que en el campo laboral se expresabaen la consagración de un modelo democrático de relaciones laborales—, esto no ha tenido correlato en la regulación infraconstitucional. Seguidamente, el artículo nos presenta las principales características de un modelo democrático de relaciones laborales que tiene como principales rasgos: i. La concepción dialéctica de las relaciones de trabajo y asignación al conflicto de un papel funcional dentro del esquema constitucional; ii. La consagración de la autonomía colectiva como pieza esencial del sistema normativo; iii. La intervención promocional y alimentadora del sistema por parte del Estado como noción de cierre de excepcional trascendencia. Finalmente, el artículo señala las principales novedades que sobre el tema contiene el Proyecto de Ley General de Trabajo, el cual se enmarca dentro del nuevo contextolatinoamericano de impulso de la autonomía colectiva que se vive en países como Brasil, Paraguay, República Dominicana y Uruguay, y que además busca impulsar la paulatina sustitución del modelo descentralizado y disfuncional para el funcionamiento del país, estableciendo una cierta preferencia por la negociación sectorial.

The primary objective of this research was to study and explain police criminality from a criminological point of view. Police criminality was addressed from a scientific perspective and this was achieved by using scientific measures and procedures including theoretical explanations and recognised research methodology. The secondary objectives included the undertaking of a comprehensive literature study on police criminality in addition to conducting interviews with specialists in order to gain expert information from knowledgeable sources in the field of police criminality. Interviews conducted with police offenders addressed police criminality from the viewpoint of the individual offender. The findings of the empirical study reflect significant individual and organisational factors. The individual factors highlighted characteristics such as power, greed, aggression, feelings of invincibility, gullibility, propensity to criminality and psychological factors including Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, which contributed to crimes committed by police members. Perhaps the most significant organisational contributors highlighted by this study related to managerial shortcomings. It is evident that police organisations with high levels of untrained, inexperienced and incompetent managers experience high levels of internal criminality. Poor supervision and the lack of corruption controls create an enabling environment for the perpetuation of police deviance. Additional organisational factors that encourage criminality include negative aspects of police culture such as the code of silence, where police members are more apt to protecting corrupt colleagues than reporting them. The lack of discipline gives rise to insubordination and familiarity, which encourages impunity. In the South African Police Service at present, the policy of Affirmative Action is causing widespread dissatisfaction and the lowering of morale amongst certain members. Inadequate recruitment and training do not prepare members adequately for their job and it literally allow the "worm into the apple." The researcher's contribution to this study is an interventionist model, which contains essential recommendations primarily for the benefit of the South African Police Service. These include the expeditious implementation of a comprehensive anti-corruption strategy and the creation of an independent investigation unit. Management shortcomings must be rectified and professionalism encouraged. Recruits need to be thoroughly vetted and ethics and integrity must be included in police training. / Criminology / D.
