Predictive policing is a controversial technology because of the many risks it imposes on fundamental rights. Through use cases from the EU, the paper focuses on how the implementation of predictive policing technologies has been limited in the EU but also how difficult the limitations might be due to the high hopes set upon technology. Although predictive policing technologies are not yet used in Finland by the police, the paper discusses how the use of police powers is limited in Finland and how fundamental rights control in the democratic process will work if the police were willing to adopt such technology.","PeriodicalId":108655,"journal":{"name":"Peking University Law Journal","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126158199","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

New preventive institutions were established in the Nordics in the shift of the 1920–1930s. Indeterminate confinement came to cover both persistent property offenders, and repeat serious violent and sexual offenders. The success of these measures and the effectiveness of institutional treatment more generally, came to be questioned in the Nordic countries in the 1960s and 1970s. Disappointment about treatment effectiveness, combined with increased stress on legal safeguards, predictability and proportionality in the administration of criminal justice, undermined professional support for indeterminate sanctions and compulsory care. The use of preventive detention was either restricted, as in Denmark and Norway, or abolished altogether, as in Finland and Sweden. However, there were other arrangements in the latter countries, which partly served the same purpose.","PeriodicalId":108655,"journal":{"name":"Peking University Law Journal","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129931321","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For power control mechanisms to work, the established power structure in China must be fully considered. The administrative reconsideration reform and non-lawsuit administrative execution reform, which have received much attention in China in recent years, show two different ways of thinking about power control. The dual-defendant system in the administrative reconsideration reform has a distinctly local character, whereas the non-lawsuit administrative execution reform tends to be more in line with the world’s mainstream model of independent judicial supervision. Comparing their results, the dual-defendant system has achieved an unexpected success, whereas the non-lawsuit administrative execution system has suffered setbacks. Summarising the successes and failures in practice revealed that the cross-control mode of administrative power embodied in the dual-defendant system in administrative reconsideration reform has cleverly configured the pressure of responsibility on different supervisory bodies, prompting each body to actively perform its supervisory duties. In contrast, the independent monitoring model emphasised in the non-lawsuit administrative execution reform neither strengthens the pressure of responsibility on monitoring entities nor brings actual benefits to them, so the reform is ultimately unsustainable. The conclusions of this comparison may provide lessons for similar institutional designs in China or other developing countries.","PeriodicalId":108655,"journal":{"name":"Peking University Law Journal","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121033911","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The field of criminal justice has also been subjected to big data application without exception, and it is undergoing a major development from partial data statistics to ‘full data’ analysis, from retrospective thinking to predictive thinking. Big data has been applied to various stages of investigation, prosecution, and delivery of punishment, but it still faces the issues of fairness and legitimacy, and its utility cannot be truly realized. Effective regulation and supervision of data and algorithms can prevent discrimination and improve the fairness of big data tools, and by redesigning relevant judicial procedure rules and clarifying the basic principles of personal information data collection, it can help realize big data applications and secure basic rights and achieve the best balance between protection which make it acceptable to the public. Finally, the auxiliary role of big data in criminal justice needs to be reassured which means it cannot and should not overstep the tasks that are exclusively for criminal justice decision-makers.","PeriodicalId":108655,"journal":{"name":"Peking University Law Journal","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128522568","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
