The building has a basement with underground garages, shooting range and technical facilities (boiler room, air conditioning room, storage, archives, cleaning room), and a ground floor with offices covered by a flat roof. The load-bearing structure of the basement is designed from watertight reinforced concrete. The ground floor has ceramic block walls. The floor and roof structure are designed from pre-stressed Spiroll. The building envelope is insulated with ETICS. The thesis also contains project documentation of building and HVAC design. The project was carried out in the AutoCad programme. Project documentation was prepared according to valid legal and technical regulations.

There is growing demand for reforms to the U.S. criminal justice system. Nevertheless, there are significant questions and relatively few answers. This dissertation studies multiple U.S. criminal justice system issues using detailed administrative data from Cook County, Illinois: Does policing the police increase crime? Does the composition of a police officer's academy cohort influence their future outcomes? Is pretrial electronic monitoring an attractive alternative to pretrial release and detention? To answer these questions, I use administrative data from Chicago and Cook County, Illinois, on the Chicago Police Department, Cook County Jail, and Circuit Court of Cook County, and a range of econometric methods. In Chapter 1, I study the effect of pretrial electronic monitoring (EM) as an alternative to pretrial release and pretrial detention (jail) in Cook County, Illinois. EM often involves a defendant wearing an electronic ankle bracelet that tracks their movement and aims to deter pretrial misconduct. Using the quasi-random assignment of bond court judges, I estimate the effect of EM versus release and EM versus detention on pretrial misconduct, case outcomes, and future recidivism. I develop a novel method for the semiparametric estimation of marginal treatment effects in ordered choice environments, with which I construct relevant treatment effects. Relative to release, EM increases new cases pretrial due to bond violations while reducing new cases for low-level crimes and failures to appear in court. Relative to detention, EM increases low-level pretrial misconduct but improves defendant case outcomes and reduces cost-weighted future recidivism. Finally, I bound EM's pretrial crime reduction effect. I find that EM is likely an adequate substitute for pretrial detention. However, it is unclear that EM prevents enough high-cost crime to justify its use relative to release, particularly for defendants who are more likely to be released. Chapter 3, joint with Bocar Ba, studies and differentiates between the effects of oversight and outrage on policing. Previous studies estimating the impact of police oversight on crime rely on major policing scandals as shocks to examine the impact of oversight on crime. We argue that the simultaneous effect of public outrage on officer behavior and crime contaminates these results, and we provide a conceptual framework that distinguishes between oversight and outrage. We identify two events relating to unexpected court rulings in Chicago that increased oversight and caused a decline in reported misconduct but had virtually no public reaction. Despite the decrease in reported misconduct, crime and officer activity were unaffected. We contrast this with a major policing scandal, after which we find both a rise in crime rates without an equivalent increase in arrests and a decline in officer stops and use of force. Our results suggest that police oversight can reduce misconduct without increasing crime.

Text in English / An improved roads and public transport system also referred to in this research as road-transport, is strategic to economic growth in countries worldwide. This is why the improvements relating thereto have been prioritised by governments in developing economies such as South Africa. The problem that therefore informed the research in this study is that ever since the improvements on road-transport in South Africa, the implications thereof on the role of the Tshwane Metropolitan Police Department (TMPD) have not been studied, to understand the associated dynamics. The dynamics relate to how the road-transport improvements have swayed the role of law enforcement in the City of Tshwane. To unpack the dynamics, the study posed the question: What are the implications of the road-transport improvements on the role of the TMPD? In an attempt to answer this question, the study premised itself on exploring one primary aim, which is: to explore the implications of the road-transport improvements, on the role of the TMPD. To operationalise this aim, the study used three research objectives, which are: to describe the road-transport improvements In South Africa; to explain the role of the Tshwane Metropolitan Police Department; as well as to identify factors that hinders the effectiveness of the TMPD. The research used a qualitative approach wherein primary data was collected using interviews. The research showed that road-transport improvements in South Africa can be summarised into two categories. These are traffic improvements and improvements in public transport. The research also found that the role of the TMPD include traffic policing, by-law enforcement, crime prevention, crime Investigation and crowd management. Although the role of the TMPD is regulated properly, the study shows that this law enforcement agency was constrained by a number of challenges. The challenges include: lack of clarity in their crime prevention mandate; limited investigative powers; balancing their enforcement and crime prevention mandates; poor training in crowd management; staff shortages; resource problems; and administrative challenges. To deal with the problems thus requires strong management and leadership within the institution. / Police Practice / M. Tech. (Policing)

No. of bitstreams: 1 Carlos Fernando Lopes Abelha.pdf: 21298516 bytes, checksum: 0731445f09438e2ab7221821eac8ae3c (MD5) Previous issue date: 2011-06-06 / This essay addresses issues such as socio-economic system adopted by the Republican Constitution of 1988; free enterprise as a fundamental right, seen by the matrix of the economic order, and the privatization process of the Federal Government as a strategy to reform the state, to serve as a basis to elucidate, within a factual context, the negative consequences to public rail transport, transferred to private enterprise in 1998, according to the National Privatization Program of the Federal Government, caused by abuse of the exercise of free enterprise and the inefficient management of public and private agents. It was found that the process of privatization of this service, previously performed by the Federal Railway - RFFSA occurred in studies of the National Bank of Economic and Social Development, which showed high public deficit and other causes that justified its transfer to the private enterprise. Through bibliographies literature researches, and extensive official documentation produced by public servants of the Federal Railway Police, the National Department of Transport Infrastructure in the National Agency for Land Transport, and other federal agencies, numerous surveys on spots made along the Paulista Railway Network in the years 2008/2009, demonstrating the damage caused to all rail transport system and public coffers, pointing out its causes and actions to solve them. The survey s results conducted on locations that have left traces (patios, garages, railway stations and substations) have been duly listed, following the investigation project and, submitted to engineering experts, computing and accounting examination, the results were analyzed and compared with the legal system and with the goals proposed by the privatization and concession of public service in question. It demonstrates the practice of illegal conduct by public and private agents involved in the supervision and implementation of this public service, intentional noncompliance of the terms of that contract, breach of criminal law and the Law of Concessions and Permits, whose consequences are highly detrimental to Public Service and National Treasury. At the conclusion of this paper it presents the main actions to be taken to solve the problems and to blame the culprit in order to improve the public service / Esta dissertação aborda temas como o sistema socioeconômico adotada pela Constituição Republicana de 1988; a livre iniciativa como direito fundamental, vista sob a matriz da ordem econômica, e o processo de desestatização do Governo Federal, como estratégia de reforma do Estado, para servir como base para demonstrar, dentro de um contexto fático, os reflexos negativos ao serviço público de transporte ferroviário, transferido a iniciativa privada no ano de 1998, seguindo o Programa Nacional de Desestatização do Governo Federal, causados pelo abuso no exercício da livre iniciativa e pela gestão ineficiente dos agentes públicos e privados. Verificou-se que o processo de desestatização desse serviço, antes executado pela Rede Ferroviária Federal RFFSA, ocorreu por estudos do Banco Nacional de Desenvolvimento Econômico e Social, que apontou déficit público elevado e outras causas que justificavam a sua transferência para a iniciativa privada. Buscou-se através de pesquisas bibliográficas, e em vasta documentação oficial, produzidas por servidores públicos da Polícia Ferroviária Federal, Departamento Nacional de Infra-Estrutura nos Transportes, Agência Nacional de Transportes Terrestres, e outros órgãos federais, além de inúmeros levantamentos in loco, realizados ao longo da Malha Paulista da Rede Ferroviária nos anos de 2008/2009, demonstrar os danos causados a todo sistema de transporte ferroviário e aos cofres públicos, apontar suas causas e medidas necessárias para saná-las. Os resultados dos levantamentos feitos nos locais que deixaram vestígios (pátios, oficinas, estações e subestações ferroviárias) foram devidamente catalogados, seguindo o projeto de investigação, assim como, submetidos a exame pericial de engenharia, informática e contabilidade, cujos resultados foram analisados e confrontados com o ordenamento jurídico e com os objetivos propostos na desestatização e no contrato de concessão do serviço público em questão. Ficou demonstrado a prática de condutas ilegais por parte dos agentes públicos e privados envolvidos na fiscalização e execução deste serviço público, com descumprimento intencional das cláusulas do referido contrato, violação da legislação criminal e da Lei de Concessões e Permissões, cujos reflexos são altamente prejudiciais ao serviço público e ao Tesouro Nacional. Na conclusão deste trabalho são apontadas as principais medidas que deverão ser adotadas para sanar os problemas e responsabilizar os culpados, visando a melhoria do serviço público

我政府為因應世界貿易之趨勢，在1999年5月27日正式施行政府採購法，為健全我國政府採購制度，建立新的里程碑。 警察本身是執法人員，代表國家執行公權力，原本採購人員不僅在個人品操上，就要有高於法律標準的品格與道德訴求，也要對採購工作有熱誠，方足以勝任及實現採購制度變革之目標，但如長期處於高工作壓力，將可能形成有經驗的採購人員不願意久任，或單位出缺不容易徵才的窘境，因此，因應此種新情勢的變革，對於警察機關辦理採購人員在心理壓力、工作滿足及工作投入等將會產生何種衝擊，自是一項值得重視的課題。 本研究由相關文獻回顧著手，再用問卷設計及訪談法加以研究。首先以問卷調查方式，對警察機關承辦採購金額超過新台幣10萬元以上，需辦理公開招標業務者進行普測，計發出問卷264份，回收254份，有效回收率為96%。問卷內容旨在探討政府採購法立法之後，對警察機關採購人員工作壓力、工作投入、工作滿足、工作倫理及休閒之影響，並針對影響採購人員工作滿足及個人對此問題重視程度，對於研究結果採取「理想型」之建構模式，計分為3種類型。 一、第Ⅰ類型：重視且滿足，有12題。 即1.我對於同仁間能相互協助支援、2.我對於工作能獲得上司的支持、3.我對於能從工作中得到成就感、4.下班後我有時間安排休閒生活、5.下班後我有良好的家庭生活、6.自己能成為單位重要的一員、7.我能達成機關的採購任務、8.採購工作經驗能提升我的工作能力、9.採購法實施後採購作業環境獲得改善、10.採購工作使我有個人成長及進步的機會、11.我對採購法律的認知，足以處理現在的工作、12.我對於需求單位所提規格不週延，導致履約爭議感到困擾。 二、第Ⅱ類型：重視但不滿足，有10題。 即1.對於工作忙碌程度、2.對於工作責任負擔、3.對於職務的晉升機會、4.對於工作獎勵和他單位相較的合理性、5.對於工作分擔範圍的合理性、6.採購工作讓我感到樂在其中、7.採購工作提供自我表現的機會、8.工作能實現我的理想、9.工作能合乎家人的期望、10.覺得與外勤工作「績效」壓力相較，採購業務不像外勤工作有「績效」壓力。 三、第Ⅲ類型：不重視也不滿足，有1題，即辦理採購工作使我能受到他人肯定。 而第Ⅰ及第Ⅲ種類型的項目，對採購人員而言，其意涵容易理解，故本研究僅針對第Ⅱ類型（重視但不滿足）的項目，進一步透過深入訪談加以深究。 根據研究結果，提出以下建議： 一、對立法者及主管機關的建議：由國家考試舉才，專才專用；檢討法令、提高公告門檻；設立專業加給之獎勵制度。 二、對警察教育單位的建議：在警察大學及警察專科學校開設採購法相關課程供同學選修，俾能在離校後銜接實務工作，也希望能在學校開設講習課程提供現職同仁在職進修，以利採購人員對採購法的認知與熟悉。 三、對警察機關的建議：多給激勵，舒解壓力；將採購法令，排入常訓；加強宣導，以正視聽；公開表揚、提昇士氣。 四、對警察機關採購人員的建議：學習心理調適；增進專業技能，不斷吸收新知；加強服務利他觀念；採購人員倫理準則，務必遵守。 關鍵字：警察機關、採購人員、工作壓力、工作投入、工作滿足、工作倫理、工作與休閒

The murders and suspicious disappearances of women across Canada over the past forty years have received considerable national attention in the past decade. The disappearances and murders of scores of women in British Columbia, Alberta and Manitoba have highlighted the vulnerability of women to extreme violence. Girls and women of Aboriginal ethnicity have been disproportionally affected in all of these cases and have high rates of violent victimization. The current socio-economic situation faced by Aboriginal women contributes to this. To provide publicly available data of missing and murdered women in Canada, a database was created containing details of 3,329 women, including 824 who are Aboriginal. There are key risk factors that increase the probability of experiencing lethal violence: street prostitution, addiction and insecure housing. The vast majority of sex workers who experience lethal violence are street prostitutes. The dissertation examines the legal status and forms of prostitution in Canada and internationally, as well as the individual and societal impacts of prostitution. A review of current research on violence and prostitution is presented. The thesis provides summaries from 150 serial homicide cases targeting prostitutes in Canada, the U.S., and the U.K. The trends and questions posed by these cases are identified. The cases of the missing women of Vancouver and Robert Pickton are detailed. The key findings from the provincial inquiry into the missing women cases and an analysis of the most egregious failings of the investigations (Projects Amelia and Evenhanded) are discussed. Frequently encountered challenges and common errors, as well as investigative opportunities and best practices of police, and other initiatives and recommendations aimed at non-police agencies are evaluated. The three other RCMP-led projects, KARE, DEVOTE and E-PANA, which are large, dedicated units focused on vulnerable women, are assessed. All Canadian women deserve to live free of violence. For women with vulnerable life histories, violence is a daily threat and a common occurrence. More must be done to prevent violence and to hold offenders responsible when violence has been done. This dissertation is a plea for resources and attention; to turn apathy into pragmatic, concrete action founded on solid evidence-based research.

Numerous studies have been conducted to determine predictors of perceptions and attitudes toward police. Less effort has been spent on determining university and college students' perceptions of campus police departments. The purpose of this thesis was to fill this gap in the literature with an added emphasis on exploring potential differences in perceptions between students involved in Greek Life organizations and students not involved in Greek Life organizations. Prior literature found that Greek Life students engage in risk-taking behaviors at higher rates than their counterparts, so it was hypothesized that Greek Life students would have higher levels of distrust in the campus police due to their increased engagement in risk-taking behaviors. The survey questionnaire measuring trust and procedural justice/legitimacy perceptions of campus police was distributed through convenience sampling to university students. Descriptive statistics, bivariate analyses, and multivariate analyses were utilized to analyze the data. The results showed that students overall had positive perceptions of campus police, that Greek Life students had more negative perceptions of the campus police than non-Greek Life students, and that students with prior interactions with the campus police were more likely to perceive the police to be less procedurally just/legitimate. Race/ethnicity was not found to be a predictor in perceptions of trust or procedural justice/legitimacy of the campus police. Limitations, policy implications, and suggestions for future research concerning student perceptions of campus police were also discussed.
