{"title":"A Pedagogical Exploration of Horror as a Teaching Tool for Ethics Using the Case of <i>Saw IV</i>","authors":"Davia Cox Downey, Wesley Wehde, Kelli Harris","doi":"10.1080/10999922.2023.2278861","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/10999922.2023.2278861","url":null,"abstract":"AbstractOur case study of Saw IV examines the possibility of using horror as a genre, a vehicle for teaching ethics, and its use in street-level bureaucrat (SLB) decision-making. Specifically, this film highlights the inherent violence of the police state, which illuminates the limits of ethical decision-making in constrained contexts. We propose using horror as a film genre to teach students about the complexity of personal, interpersonal, and professional ethics, bureaucratic discretion, and the impact of these decisions in real-world situations. We provide a brief analysis of the film through the lens of ethical dilemmas in a violent police state and the impact of this violence on governance. We conclude with recommendations for using Saw IV and horror more broadly as pedagogical tools in public administration and political science education.Keywords: Horror filmspedagogydemocratic theorybureaucratic ethics Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 Maynard-Moody and Musheno define agency roughly as the ability to integrate an understanding of law and procedure with “cultural and moral preferences.”2 Here, we see Rigg aiding and abetting Jigsaw’s game by allowing the continuation of terror to proceed in the community; not saying that Rigg (played by a black actor) is a white supremacist. Instead, we believe Hoffman, who is explicitly corrupt, might be more explicitly a white supremacist and may be motivated to continue the games of Jigsaw to facilitate his nefarious ends in the community.3 Jigsaw’s backstory as a civil engineer and toymaker is explained in earlier films in the series. Jigsaw (real name John Kramer) was married to a woman (Jill) who ran a drug-user recovery clinic. As a married couple, they tried very hard to have a child, and John’s (Jigsaw) flashback scenes provide insight into his care towards his wife and their community. Jigsaw is also revealed to be suffering from cancer and an inoperable tumor. These complications lead to marital strife, eventually leading to divorce. While married, his wife is assaulted by one of the clinic users, leading to a miscarriage of their carefully planned son. In his view, testing a victim’s will to live (and survive tests of physical torture) became his credo due to the course treatment of his wife and child and the powerlessness he felt from his cancer diagnosis.","PeriodicalId":51805,"journal":{"name":"Public Integrity","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135138393","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}

{"title":"Autocratization, Disaster Management, and the Politics of Public Administration in Turkey","authors":"Nevbahar Ertas","doi":"10.1080/10999922.2023.2273454","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/10999922.2023.2273454","url":null,"abstract":"AbstractWhile state culpability in compounding disasters is nothing new, in the aftermath of the recent earthquake in Turkey the extent of state dysfunction characterized by paralysis of the administrative institutions was unprecedented. Autocratization does not mesh well with effective disaster and crisis management, neither in theory nor in practice. Over the last two decades, rising competitive authoritarianism in the country has undermined accountability, participation, predictability, and transparency in Turkish governance structures, all of which are key factors that support risk reduction and disaster management. Relying on a conceptual and theoretical inquiry informed by the concepts of autocratic legalism and tailor-made laws, this case study argues that countries characterized by competitive authoritarianism are less effective in managing disasters, because they abuse state institutions for partisan goals, create disparities in access to public resources, and diminish accountability mechanisms. The elimination of democracy as a guiding principle in public-sector management is proving ever more disastrous as details concerning the response to the earthquake emerge. This analysis offers lessons and insights regarding the strategies that were used to sideline the bureaucracy and oversight processes.Keywords: Public administrationcorruptiondisaster managementautocratizationcase study Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 The three largest mass trials of the period include the Ergenekon trials (2008–2016) targeting opposition lawyers, politicians, academics, journalists, and military officers; the Sledgehammer (Turkish: Balyoz) trial (2010–2012) targeting secular military officers; and KCK (Kurdish: Koma Civakên Kurdistanê) trials (2009–2012) targeting Kurdish politicians, journalists, and activists. Over the course of those years, under Ergenekon over 500 tried, 275 convicted; under Sledhehammer over 350 tried, 300 convicted; under KCK over 1500 tried. The trials were repeatedly condemned as unjust and politically motivated. See for example Filkins, Citation2013; Jenkins, Citation2019; Zanotti & Thomas, Citation2023.2 By July 2013, 50 people including several representatives of the Chamber of Architects and Engineers (TMMOB) were detained. The Gezi trial would go on to continue over several convoluted political prosecutions for years, until lengthy sentences were handed out in 2022. For example, architect Mücella Yapıcı, the secretary general of the Environmental Impact Assessment Department of the TMMOB, alongside many others, is currently serving an 18-year sentence. Philanthropist Osman Kavala, accused of aiding and funding the protest, spent more than 4 years in prison without being convicted and later sentenced to life in prison without parole for charges related to the coup attempt.

Over the years, the UN has been trying to fulfil the mandate to ensure international security through the prevention of crimes against humanity. In this context, the study of the mechanisms of legal qualification and prosecution for these acts is of particular relevance. At present, the 1948 Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide remains the main instrument regulating the responsibility for crimes that can be qualified as genocide. The purpose of this study is to analyze the practice of incorporating the provisions of the 1948 Genocide Convention and the problems of their criminal law regulation and modernization. The results are made up of interconnected target, procedural, and evaluation elements, which are based on the method of legal analysis of the legislative practice of countries with different approaches to the issue of genocide. All the examples given in the work show that the process of introducing effective mechanisms of prosecution for genocide by states, among which national courts can be named first, is ongoing, but it is happening very slowly.Keywords: Criminal codes and special laws of state partiesmeans of implementationexpansive interpretationprotected demographic groupsUN Genocide Convention Disclosure statementAuthors declare that they have no conflict of interests.Data availability statementData will be available on request.Notes1 Article 7 of the Criminal Law of the PRC stipulates: “This Law is applicable to the citizens of the People's Republic of China who commit crimes prescribed in this Law outside the territory of the People's Republic of China; however, they may not be investigated if for those crimes this Law prescribes a maximum punishment of fixed-term imprisonment of not more than 3 years.

A significant correlate of distrust in the civil service is the perception of corruption among bureaucrats. Our research addresses two main questions. First, in OECD countries, to what extent does the public view bureaucrats as corrupt? Second, what factors explain these perceptions? Data from 23 countries in the International Social Survey Programme’s 2016 Role of Government survey are analyzed using multilevel logistic regression models. Among the explanatory variables included in this multilevel analysis are respondents’ exposure to bribery, political party support, and political efficacy. Country-level correlates drawn from the 2016 Worldwide Governance Indicators are analyzed to explore the impact of governance quality on corruption perceptions. Results indicate that better quality of government is associated with lower perceptions of bureaucratic corruption. Likewise, notable individual-level findings suggest political efficacy and exposure to corruption are significantly associated with corruption perceptions.Keywords: Bureaucratic corruptionpublic perceptionsworldwide governance indicators Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).","PeriodicalId":51805,"journal":{"name":"Public Integrity","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135412970","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}
