Abstract

The objects of this research are: first, to explain some of the issues surrounding police accountability in the United Kingdom. Second, to make attempts in reconciling two opposing views as to whom police in the UK are accountable for? Third, to clarify the vagueness and ambiguous definitional concepts of the police constable, constabulary independence, and the use of police discretionary powers. The author investigated the following problems: lack of police proper accountability, vague and ambiguous meaning of constabulary independence constable oath of office, and the use of police discretionary powers. The main results of the research are: first, more clarity is needed as to whom is the British police accountable to? Second, a review of the current oath of office for police constable, the implementation of finding by previous committees set up by government: Lord Scarman, Rt Hon Christopher Patten, and Lord Nolan reports. Third, the monitoring of police officers' use of discretionary powers. The area of practical use of the research: is for all citizens, directly or indirectly affected by police and safer communities. Criminal justice students in higher institutions and criminal justice practitioners, government officials, and policymakers.
英国警察问责制的发展与实施的协调
本研究的目的是:首先,解释英国围绕警察问责制的一些问题。第二,试图调和英国警察对谁负责的两种对立观点?第三,澄清警察、警察独立性和警察自由裁量权使用等概念的模糊性和歧义性。笔者调查了以下问题:警察缺乏适当的问责制,警察独立性的含义模糊和模棱两可,警察自由裁量权的使用。这项研究的主要结果是:首先,需要更加明确英国警方对谁负责?其次,对目前警员宣誓就职的审查,以及政府成立的前几届委员会对调查结果的执行情况:斯卡曼勋爵、克里斯托弗·彭定康阁下和诺兰勋爵报告。第三,监察警务人员运用酌情权的情况。研究的实际应用领域:适用于所有直接或间接受警察和更安全社区影响的公民。高等院校的刑事司法学生和刑事司法从业者、政府官员和政策制定者。
