Abstract

Abstract Fiscal equivalence in the public administration of justice requires local police and courts to be financed exclusively by the populations that benefit from their services. Within a polycentric framework, broad based taxation to achieve fiscal equivalence is a desirable principle of public finance because it conceptually allows for the provision of justice to be determined by constituent’s preferences, and increases the political accountability of service providers to constituents. However, the overproduction of justice services can readily occur when the benefits of the justice system are not enjoyed equally. Paradoxically, the same properties that make fiscal equivalence desirable by imposing restraint and control between constituents and local government also create internal pressures for agents of the state to engage in predatory, revenue-generating behavior.
财政对等:公共司法中的原则与掠夺
公共司法行政中的财政对等要求地方警察和法院完全由受益于其服务的人口提供资金。在多中心框架内,广泛征税以实现财政对等是公共财政的理想原则,因为它在概念上允许由选民的偏好决定司法的提供,并增加了服务提供者对选民的政治问责制。但是,如果不能平等地享受司法制度的好处,就很容易出现司法服务过剩的情况。矛盾的是,通过在选民和地方政府之间施加约束和控制而使财政对等成为可取的相同属性,也为国家代理人从事掠夺性、创收行为创造了内部压力。

期刊介绍: Social Philosophy and Policy is an interdisciplinary journal with an emphasis on the philosophical underpinnings of enduring social policy debates. The issues are thematic in format, examining a specific area of concern with contributions from scholars in different disciplines, especially philosophy, economics, political science and law. While not primarily a journal of policy prescriptions, some articles in each issue will typically connect theory with practice. The 2006 issues are "Justice and Global Politics" and "Taxation, Economic Prosperity, and Distributive Justice". The 2007 issues will be "Liberalism: Old and New" and "Ancient Greek Political Theory".
