RIKTLINJER KONTRA VERKLIGHET : PROCESSUELL RÄTTVISA UTIFRÅN ETT POLISPERSPEKTIV / GUIDELINES VERSUS REALITY : PROCEDURAL JUSTICE FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF THE POLICE

Forsberg, Katarina, Jonerelv, Amanda, Sheikh, Mehvish January 2024 (has links)
Denna studie undersöker hur områdespoliser i Malmö uppfattar och tillämpar principerna för processuell rättvisa i sitt dagliga arbete. Fokus ligger på konceptet processuell rättvisa, som betonar respektfullt bemötande, neutralitet, trovärdighet och delaktighet, viktiga delar för att i brottsförebyggande syfte stärka förtroendet mellan polis och allmänheten. Med en kvalitativ metod, baserat på muntliga och skriftliga intervjuer, har insikter från 4 medarbetare och 2 gruppchefer inom områdespolisen samlats in. Resultaten visar att det finns varierande tolkningar av processuell rättvisa bland poliserna men majoriteten betonade vikten av respektfullt bemötande och opartiskhet. Studien visar också att tillämpningen försvåras av faktorer som situationsfaktorer och tidigare erfarenhet, vilket gör det utmanande för polisen att förhålla sig till teoretiska riktlinjer i alla situationer. Genom att belysa dessa aspekter bidrar studien till ökad förståelse för de praktiska utmaningarna vid implementering av processuell rättvisa och föreslår förbättringar för att stärka förtroendet mellan polis och allmänhet. Resultaten kan användas för att belysa hur processuell rättvisa kan underlätta polisens arbete och erbjuda insikter för framtida policys och utbildningsinitiativ. / This study examines how community police officers in Malmö perceive and apply the principles of procedural justice in their daily work. The focus is on the concept of procedural justice, which emphasizes respectfulness, neutrality, trustworthiness, and voice, key components for strengthening trust between the police and the public for crime prevention purposes. Using a qualitative method based on oral and written interviews, insights were gathered from four employees and two group leaders within the community police. The results show that there are varying interpretations of procedural justice among the officers, but the majority emphasized the importance of respectful treatment and impartiality. The study also reveals that the application of procedural justice is hindered by factors such as situational factors and previous experience, making it difficult for the police to adhere to theoretical guidelines in all situations. By highlighting these aspects, the study contributes to a deeper understanding of the practical challenges in implementing procedural justice and suggests improvements to strengthen trust between the police and the public. The findings can be used to illustrate how procedural justice can facilitate police work and provide insights for future policy-making and educational initiatives.

Mapping and Explaining the Development of Public Trust in the EU during the Covid-19 Pandemic

Grudzinski, Sarah January 2022 (has links)
This study seeks to advance the understanding of the development of public trust in the EU during the Covid-19 pandemic (from its beginning to March 2022). The importance of this study lies in the relevance of public trust in institutions in impacting their legitimacy and success, e.g. of policies. It is found that the EU has lost trust during the pandemic among a majority of especially central- and Northern- European member states. Four factors relating to public trust, namely trust in national governments as well as the vaccine, perceived job insecurity, and the receiving of additional financial aid from EU institutions were explored as potentially correlating variables in a mixed-method multi-stage research design. Based on the Eurofound data set titled “Living, Working and Covid-19 Data”, a high substantive but negligible statistical significance was identified regarding all four variables. In narrowing in on the negative outlier cases Austria and Germany through newspaper analysis, a correlation between the sentiment of newspaper reportings and the development of public trust was identified and the statistical findings were strengthened for all variables but trust in the vaccine.

Hur tandvården framställs i pressen och dess påverkan på allmänhetens förtroende - Media innehållsanalys

Abdelghani, Omar, Salih, Hevy January 2019 (has links)
Syfte:Eftersom medierapportering är en viktig faktor som kan påverka allmänhetens förtroende gentemot tandvården är syftet med studien att undersöka hur tandvården framställs i pressen.Material & metod:För att undersöka vad och hur mycket svensk press har rapporterat om tandvården mellan 2007 – 2018 i allmän samt negativ mening användes två källurval. Det ena urvalet kallades för det breda källurvalet och inkluderade all svensk redaktionell press i retrievers mediearkiv. Det andra källurvalet kallades för det begränsade källurvalet och inkludera endast sex räckviddstarka källor. Materialet analyserades både kvantitativt och kvalitativt med hjälp av metoden Media innehållsanalys.Resultat: Den totala publiciteten om tandvård i allmän mening var som högst år 2008, därefter har den minskat i jämn takt. Den negativa rapporteringen har varit ojämn med tydliga ökningar vissa år som kan härledas till specifika händelser som rör tandvården. Inom den negativa rapporteringen skrevs det om tandläkare som blivit av med sin legitimation samt att det inom tandvården förekommer slarv, felbehandling, överbehandling och fusk. Men framförallt skrevs det negativt om tandvårdssystemets funktionssätt och att tandvården är dyr. Slutsats: Genom att jämföra tillgängliga kundnöjdhet och förtroende mätningar med den negativa samt allmänna medierapporteringen, kunde vi inte konstatera att medierapporteringen har påverkat allmänhetens förtroende mellan 2007 - 2018. Vi fann bland annat att när det väl skrivs negativt om tandvården riktades främst kritik mot privattandvården, trots detta var förtroende- och kundnöjdhetsnivå högre för privattandvården jämfört med folktandvården. Fortsatta studier behövs för att undersöka hur medierapportering påverkar individens förtroende för tandvården. / Aim:The aim of this study is to investigate how Swedish dental care is represented in the media, since it is an important factor that can affect the public's trust in dental care.Material & method:To investigate what was written and how much was written in both general and negative sense about dental care in the Swedish press between 2007 - 2018, two source selections were used. One selection was called the broad source selection and included all Swedish editorial press in retriever's media archive. The second source selection was called the limited source selection and included only six powerful sources. The material was analyzed both quantitatively and qualitatively using Media content analysis. Result:The overall publicity on dental care in general sense was at its most 2008, thereafter it decreased at a steady pace. The negative reporting has been uneven with clear increases in some years that can be attributed to specific events relating to dental care. In the negative reporting it was written about dentists who got rid of their license and that in dental care there is carelessness, malpractice, over-treatment and cheating. But mostly, it was written negatively about the functioning of the dental care system and that dental care is expensive.Conclusion:By comparing available customer satisfaction and trust measurements with the negative and general media reporting, we were unable to conclude that media reporting has affected public trust between 2007-2018. We found, among other things, that when it was written negatively about dental care, criticism was mainly directed at private dental care, despite this trust and customer satisfaction levels were higher for private dental care compared to public dental care during the same period. Further studies are needed to investigate how media reports affects peoples trust in dental care.

The constitutionality of the Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act 28 of 2002 / Elmarie van der Schyff

Van der Schyff, Elmarie January 2006 (has links)
The Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act 28 of 2002 (MPRDA} is premised on the principle that minerals are part of the natural heritage of all South Africans. Section 3 of the MPRDA articulates the core of the new mineral law dispensation. Through the provisions of the said section, new concepts are introduced to the field of mineral law previously governed by the South African common law system of private ownership, based on Roman-Dutch principles. The study focused on section 3 of the MPRDA and the consequences ensuing from its implementation. Consequently, a historical overview of the development of South African mineral law was followed by an exposition of the development of the constitutional property concept. It was concluded that mineral rights from the previous dispensation constitute property protected by section 25 of the Constitution. It was also found that the development encapsulated in the MPRDA in respect of the ownership of the country's unsevered minerals, is indicative of the decline of private property. It is substituted by a line of thought which recognises that certain interests 'are held in common' by the nation. This idea is also found in inter alia the National Water Act 36 of 1998 and the National Environmental Management Act 107 of 1998. This led to the next section of the research where the concept of custodial sovereignty as manifested in the Anglo-American public trust doctrine was studied. It was apparent that the public trust doctrine is a legal construct whereby ownership of certain assets vests in the state, to be administered on behalf of the nation and generations yet to come. The historical survey of the Roman concepts of res publicae and res omnium communes indicated that although this doctrine is not part of South Africa's common law heritage, principles underlying the doctrine found application in South African law in respect of the seashore. The conclusion was reached that the doctrine has indeed been incorporated in South African mineral law by the MPRDA, constituting a new mineral law regime in the country. Due to the fact that a new mineral law dispensation was introduced, mineral rights as they existed in the previous mineral law dispensation were annihilated. It was, therefore, necessary to determine whether this annihilation resulted in the expropriation of property. Consequently the content of the concept 'expropriation' was studied in order to determine whether the previously held mineral rights were expropriated. The study indicated that expropriation entails the acquisition of property by the state, but that ample room exists for the development of the concept of constructive expropriation. Based on the information gained on the concept of expropriation, the consequences ensuing from the MPRDA for the holders of common law mineral rights and old order rights and the impact of the MPRDA on ownership of landowners were analysed. It was indicated that the extent of the deprivation brought about by the MPRDA varies between expropriation and the regulation of mining activities. The significance of section 3 of the MPRDA for the people of South Africa was analysed and it was found that the newly introduced doctrine can be applied to the advantage of the nation as a whole. A separate section of the research entailed a limited comparative analysis of Canadian mining law that focused on constitutional jurisdiction over minerals in the Canadian mining regime and the taking of property interests in minerals. It is proposed that the South African expropriation concept should develop along the lines followed in Canadian jurisprudence. After considering the abovementioned aspects, the final conclusion of the study is that the concepts introduced by and the consequences emanating from the implementation of section 3 of the MPRDA are constitutionally justifiable. / Thesis (LL.D (Indigenous Law)) -- North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2007.

The regulation of water in Namibia in the context of property rights : a comparison with South African water legislation / John Matthew Thomas Pinto

Pinto, John Matthew Thomas January 2014 (has links)
The Water Resources Management Act 24 of 2004 will change the water regime in Namibia dramatically. Section 4 of the Water Resources Management Act provides for this change by excluding private ownership of water from the new water law dispensation. This study focused on section 4 of the Water Resources Management Act and the implication that this section will have on property rights in the Namibia. The dissertation firstly outlines the historical development of ownership of water in Namibia. It is indicated that private ownership of water was an established principle under Roman-Dutch law. A further examination of Roman-Dutch law reveals that surface water could be divided into private and public water. Public water belonged to the whole nation, while ownership of private rivers was vested in the land owner. Under South West Africa’s water legislation, the Irrigation and Water Conservation Act 8 of 1912 and the Water Act 54 of 1956 maintained the distinction between public and private water. However, the Water Act of 1956 expanded the definitions of both public and private water, and acknowledged that the land owner where the water found its source or flowed over, could exercise the exclusive use rights of such water. The Water Resources Management Act has been approved and published in the Government Gazette. However, it has not yet come into force as a date for commencement of the Act, as prescribed by section 138(1)(b), has not yet been determined by the Minister. Once the Act is in force, the Water Act will be repealed as a whole. Section 4 of the Water Resources Management Act will abolish the private ownership of water in Namibia. This is clearly in violation of article 16 of the Namibian Constitution of 1990, which provides for private ownership of water when read with article 100. Therefore, the research concludes that the Water Resources Management Act will dramatically affect property rights in Namibia. Under the Water Resources Management Act there will be no private ownership of water, and the affected person will have no recourse under the Act to claim compensation. / LLM (Environmental Law and Governance), North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2014

Museum accountability in Britain and America : ethical standards and fiscal transparency in the twenty-first century

Groninger, Katherine R. January 2011 (has links)
This thesis examines the current state of nonprofit museum accountability in the United Kingdom and United States, assessing methods of achieving fiscal and ethical accountability, as well as the factors that have influenced museum codes and policies to that end. The recent development of museum accountability is couched in corporate culture, government influence, and public expectations, making it an interdisciplinary concern. Yet museum professionalisation, including codes of ethics, conflict of interest management, and agreed-upon standards, has received little attention from researchers. This study engages in empirical research to assess museums’ responses to recent regulations, their execution of governance accountability, and the application of internal controls and fiscal transparency measures. These subjects appraise ethical governance and board member duties, in addition to audit practices and best practice policies. Research reveals inadequacies in the museum accountability systems in both Britain and America. As case studies serve to demonstrate, opportunities remain for financial and ethical misconduct, which can damage the public trust in museums. This thesis is the first broad empirical study to explain museum accountability in Britain or America, collating data across the entire museum sector, creating an industry-wide national framework from the quantitative and qualitative findings. No research has reported on the implementation of best practice measures according to the private, public and third sectors, stakeholders, and by the museum industry itself. Ultimately, this thesis provides unique evidence previously lacking in both the UK and US museum sectors, making it possible to posit and assess specific museums against an accurate national accountability framework.

本論文では、日米両国の環境法における理論状況が法体系の性質からも大いに異なることを前提とした上で、米国において1970年代以降に制定された様々な環境法をめぐる議論を取り上げ、各種救済の態様について、事後救済、事前予防の両面から検証を行った。具体的には、我が国で検討の不十分な環境市民訴訟規定適用の根拠および要件と救済の機能、各種環境規制の導入において生じる収用をめぐる議論の検討を行った。 / This research examined the remedies of U.S. environmental law after 1970s. While their legal systems are quite different, the argument in U.S. could be helpful that of Japanese. The focus point of research is on the ground of citizen suits provisions and on the case when the plaintiff made consent decree. Environmental land use regulations and taking clause matter were also examined in this context since the private property rights is a crucial factor for environmental regulations to protect environmental injury. / 博士(法学) / Doctor of Laws / 同志社大学 / Doshisha University
