摘要

刑事司法系统的各个部门已经官僚化到如此程度,以至于它们的管理已经取代了它们赖以存在的价值。韦伯预言了这一现象,他认为随着组织的发展,实体理性将被形式理性所取代。我们通过与法院行政工作人员的对话和法院的试点观察,在传讯中使用司法绩效检查,来测试规模与这两种理性之间的关系。我们通过提审检查表(n = 481)来衡量司法绩效。多层次模型的研究结果表明,即使在研究设计中控制了工作量的情况下,规模与形式理性之间存在正相关关系,规模与实质理性之间存在负相关关系。结果表明,形式理性或实体理性的丰富助长了不公正。这些结果开启了一种话语,鼓励对形式和实质合理性进行定量衡量,并在司法行政政策方面考虑规模问题。

Courthouse Size and Its Impact on Judicial Performance
Sectors of the criminal justice system have bureaucratized to such an extent that their management has supplanted the values for which they were created. Weber predicted this phenomenon, arguing that substantive rationality would be replaced by formal rationality as organizations grew. We test the relationship between size and these two types of rationality with the use of judicial performance checks in arraignments created from conversations with administrative courthouse staff and pilot observations at courthouses. We measure judicial performance through arraignment checklists (n = 481). Findings from multilevel models suggest that there is a positive relationship between size and formal rationality and a negative relationship between size and substantive rationality, even when controlling for workload by research design. Results suggest that abundance of formal rationality or substantive rationality facilitates injustice. These results begin a discourse encouraging quantitatively measuring formal and substantive rationality and that size be considered regarding judicial administrative policy.
