Introduction General Overview In 2010 the European Commission1 issued the targeted Call for Proposals with regards to “Financial and Economic Crime”2 under its programme "Prevention of and Fight against Crime" 2007-2013. In 2007 the Council took the Decision to start this specific programme.3 It aims at realising four main objectives, namely: (a) to develop methods to prevent and fight crime among others through the work of public-private partnerships and by means of best practices; (b) to promote coordination among law enforcement agencies; (c) to promote and develop best practices for the protection of and support to witnesses; and (d) to promote and develop best practices for the protection of crime victims.4 The T.M.C. Asser Instituut5 applied for an action grant with a project proposal titled: “Prevention of fraud, corruption and bribery committed through legal entities for the purpose of financial and economic gain“. The application was submitted in August 2010 together with the Polish Institute of International Affairs (PISM)6 in Warsaw as beneficiary partner and the Dutch Ministry of Security and Justice7 as associate, non-beneficiary partner. The project proposal was awarded with an action grant by the Commission in August 2011 and activities started shortly thereafter. The project aims at the implementation of one of the priorities of the Commission's programme, namely "Prevention and fight against corruption, development of anti-corruption policies". More specifically, it envisages contributing to the prevention of fraud, corruption and bribery committed by and through legal entities. Legal entities were expressly chosen as the main focus of the project. They play the most dominant role in the overall economy. Obviously they are established for the purpose of financial gain but can be misused making illegal profits through fraud and corruption. Such malpractices, e.g. VAT fraud, are also often cross-border in nature and take advantage of 1 Directorate-General Justice, Freedom and Security, Directorate F: Security, Unit F4: Financial support – Security. Under the Barroso II Commission this Directorate-General was split up in two different ones: Home Affairs and Justice. The responsibilities for this program were taken up by the new Directorate-General Home Affairs, more specifically its Directorate A: Internal Security, Unit A4: Financial Support – Internal Security. 2 The full text of this Call is available through the website link: http://ec.europa.eu/home- affairs/funding/isec/call_10134/tc3_call_2010_en.pdf. The deadline of the Call was 18 June 2010. 3 Council Decision 2007/125/JHA of 12 February 2007 establishing for the period 2007 to 2013, as part of General Program on Security and Safeguarding Liberties, the Specific Program ‘Prevention of and Fight against Crime’, OJ L 58/7, 24.2.2007. 4 Ibid., article 3 ‘Themes and specific objectives’. Paragraph 3 provides that: “The Programme does not deal with judicial cooperation”. 5 T.M.C. Asser Instituut (TMCAI) in The Hague (NL) is a foundation established in 1965 by the law faculties of the Association of Dutch universities. Since its foundation, the TMCAI has developed into an academic inter-university institute in the field of International Law, cooperating closely with and supporting the Dutch and other universities. The academic fields covered by the Institute are Private International Law, Public International Law, the Law of the European Union, International Commercial Arbitration, International Humanitarian Law, International Criminal Law and International Sports Law. The TMCAI's mission is to initiate, support and realise innovative, scholarly research and postgraduate education activities, preferably on an inter-university basis, and be instrumental in initiating and facilitating other activities which are of importance to disseminating in-depth and broad knowledge of International and European Law in the Netherlands and beyond. See http://www.asser.nl. 6 The Polish Institute of International Affairs (PISM) is a leading and independent think-tank that conducts original, policy-focused research. PISM provides advice to all branches of government and contributes to wider debates on international relations in Europe and beyond. PISM also publishes books and journals, and houses one of the best specialist libraries in Central Europe. Situated in between the world of policy and independent expertise on international affairs, PISM promotes the flow of ideas that inform and enhance the foreign policy of Poland.

This leads to negative effects for the EU internal market and the financial system of the EU Member States. Differences in civil, administrative and criminal law and regulations of the Member States make it more difficult to tackle such cross-border malpractice. The application of common preventive methods can enhance the effectiveness of efforts aimed at tackling these phenomena. Improving exchange of information on private legal entities by interconnecting business registers in the Member States is a perfect example of such a preventive strategy. The following paragraphs of this chapter deal with the overall design of the project, its main objectives and the activities needed to achieve those objectives and the ensuing results.

  • Comparative Overview of Police Governance Arrangements
    Comparative overview of police governance arrangements Report for HM Chief Inspector of Constabulary in Scotland Dr Ali Malik April 2019 Aim The purpose of this report is to provide a comparative overview of police governance arrangements to inform HMICS’ ongoing thematic inspection of the Scottish Policy Authority (SPA). This report examines police governance arrangements in six international jurisdictions with an aim to identify best practice in line with the inspection terms of reference. Scope & Methodology The inspection aims to examine issues relating to the SPA’s role, responsibilities and relationships with key stakeholders. The inspection will also consider the independence of the SPA, the operational responsibility of the Chief Constable and how the SPA exerts effective governance in this context1. In order to provide examples of good practice along these key areas, a comparative overview of six international jurisdictions was undertaken to examine different models of police governance. In particular, the comparative work focused on how different models of police governance are implemented in practice, how powers of governance are shared between key stakeholders and how the delicate balance between operational independence of chief officers and legitimate democratic oversight is achieved. The three models identified for the comparison were: . A centralised model where the responsibility of police governance sits with the relevant Minister . A power-sharing model where the powers of police governance are shared between local and central government . A centralised model where the responsibility of police governance is delegated to an independent or arms-length policing Authority or a Joint Board The jurisdictions – New Zealand and Finland – both reflective of the first model, England and Wales and the Netherlands (to a lesser extent) – based upon the second model, and Northern Ireland and Republic of Ireland – both representative of the third model, were selected for this comparison.

  • Egharevba Determinants Migrant Final Formatted
    Determinants of migrant perception of the police: The attributes of race, trust and legitimacy Stephen Egharevba1 Justice Policy Journal Volume 11, Number 1 (Spring) © Center on Juvenile and Criminal Justice 2014 www.cjcj.org/jpj Abstract Extensive empirical researches have addressed how police work environment affects police behaviour in their interactions with citizens on the street level. However, most of the explanations addressing these issues have focussed on the negative culture of the police work environment in phrases such as “bad apple theory, Window dressing, and the Blue Wall of Silence” Regardless of their accuracy or not these pejorative phrases are often used to explain why police officers’ behave in certain ways. However, in Finland cross-national studies on migrants’ perception of the police: trust and legitimacy are still few in the country. The aim of the present research is to examine, those factors that determine, migrants’ perception of police civility in Turku. The data on which this analysis is based consists of sixty-five immigrants; however, our analysis is based on thirty-five interviews, out of the total participants especially among those who have resided in the country for a certain number of years with resident, permanent permits and nationality status. This includes students, refugees and naturalised citizens of African descent on the basis of how they perceive contacts, experiences and language proficiency acquisition in their interaction with the police on the street level. The findings indicated that Police and immigrants’ encounter are the main 1 Author & Independent researcher/Consultant Cosconsult International Turku, Finland [email protected] Egharevba Justice Policy Journal, Spring 2014 determinant of the general attitude toward the police.

  • The Examination of Different Pathways Leading Towards Police Traumatization: Exploring the Role of Moral Injury and Personality in Police Compassion Fatigue
    The Examination of Different Pathways Leading Towards Police Traumatization: Exploring the Role of Moral Injury and Personality in Police Compassion Fatigue by Konstantinos Papazoglou A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctorate of Philosophy Psychology University of Toronto © Copyright by Konstantinos Papazoglou 2017 The Examination of Different Pathways Leading Towards Police Traumatization: Exploring the Role of Moral Injury and Personality in Police Compassion Fatigue Konstantinos Papazoglou Doctor of Philosophy Psychology University of Toronto 2017 Abstract Police officers are mandated to respond to critical incidents, and, as the first responders to arrive at a crime scene, they are often tasked with providing support to traumatized victims of crimes. Compassion fatigue is a type of traumatization (“cost of caring”) experienced by caregiving professionals who work with traumatized populations (Figley, 1995). Conversely, compassion satisfaction refers to the sense of fulfillment that first responders feel from helping those who suffer (Stamm, 2002). The current research project is comprised of three studies. In study 1, researchers recruited a national police sample (n=1,351) from the US and Canada and measured the prevalence rates of compassion fatigue and satisfaction. This study found that authoritarianism was significantly associated with compassion fatigue among study participants. In study 2, the researcher further explored the role of negative personality traits (i.e., dark triad—Machiavellianism, narcissism, psychopathy) in a national sample (n=1,173) of police officers serving with the National Police of Finland. Study 2’s findings were consistent with those of Study 1, showing that negative personality traits were significantly associated with compassion fatigue among police officers.
