eine deutsch-niederländisch vergleichende Analyse in rechtlicher und rechtstatsächlicher Hinsicht
Full text linkSoftcover, 300 S.: 24,00 €Softcover, 17x24Die Untersuchung setzt bei dem Problem der Folgenbewältigung justizieller Überlastung im deutschen Strafverfahren an. Als Ausweg aus der bestehenden Arbeitsüberlastung der Gerichte und Staatsanwaltschaften durch die steigende Zahl aburteilungsfähiger Strafverfahren bietet sich an, Kompetenzen der Staatsanwaltschaft im Kleinkriminalitätsbereich auf die Polizei zu übertragen. Dadurch könnten für die Staatsanwaltschaften mehr Arbeitskapazitäten im Bereich schwerer Kriminalität entstehen. So befasst sich die Arbeit mit dem Zusammenspiel zwischen Staatsanwaltschaft und Polizei im Bereich der Straftatenermittlung wie auch der verfahrensbeendenden Entscheidungen im deutschen und niederländischen Strafverfahren. Sie mündet in einen am niederländischen Strafverfahren orientierten Gesetzesvorschlag, der es im Bereich von Bagatellkriminalität erlaubt, der Polizei die Befugnis zur Verfahrensbeendigung mit einer Geldauflage zu übertragen. Die Autorin ist wiss.

Police Case-ending Possibilities within Criminal Investigations
No full textThis article refers to the function of the Police within the criminal justice systems in various European countries. It focuses on the legal and practical possibilities of the Police to either end criminal cases autonomously or to contribute to the final Public Prosecution Service decisions or at the end of the investigative stage. Normally Police hand on evidentially sufficient cases to the Public Prosecution Service at least at the end of the investigatory stage in all countries. Nevertheless, in almost all countries ways have been found to either legally or factually reduce PPS workload by giving Police some sort of case-ending decisions
Police Prosecution Service Relationship within Criminal Investigation
No full textThe article concentrates on the police role in the investigative stage in various criminal justice systems and the relationship with each national prosecution service. It is shown that in this respect the police function varies significantly from country to country. According to its legal competencies and factual procedural possibilities, the article will give a short overview of the national differences but also show that similar mechanisms are developed
The Examining Magistrate's Function and Involvement in Investigative Matters
No full textThis article gives a brief overview of the division of roles during the investigative stage between Court, Public Prosecution Service (PPS) and Police. It explains the role either an Examining Magistrate or an Investigative Judge plays in Croatia, France, Germany, the Netherlands and Spain, presenting his/her functions and involvement in criminal investigation and especially focussing on which actions require his/her approval
Prosecution and Diversion within Criminal Justice Systems in Europe : Aims and Design of a Comparative Study
No full textThis article presents the aims, approach and design of a 11 countries study on diversion and prosecution in European Criminal Justice Systems. The basic assumption is that the flood of proceedings is mastered by procedural short cuts and simplifications with the public prosecutor as the key player. The article describes the methods developed in order to compare the different national concepts and and competencies of criminal justice agencies and procedures. Furthermore, it demonstrates the interdependencies of the various articles in this double issue focusing on different parts of the criminal justice system from police to the court
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
