Although the debate on the basic norms of punishment is well established, the basic norms of policing have received relatively little attention. This paper connects the two subjects, defending two claims. First, it argues that some police action that is not obviously illegitimate falls under the moral standards applicable to punishment. This may strike some as surprising. The explicit job of the police does not include punishment. Such a position is customarily defended by appeal to intention, form of treatment, or expression of censure. Such appeals prove ineffective against cases that involve a discretionary decision not to prosecute, such as in the recruitment of informants or in standard public order management tactics. Second, the paper urges that this first point presents a dilemma: either police routinely act in an illegitimately extrajudicial fashion, or the stringency of the standards to which we hold criminal court procedures is, if it is grounded, not grounded directly in the fact that the courts administer punishment. Neither option is attractive.

警务原则和处罚原则

尽管关于惩罚基本规范的争论已经确立,但警务基本规范受到的关注相对较少。本文将这两个主题联系起来,为两个主张辩护。首先,它认为某些并非明显非法的警察行为属于适用于惩罚的道德标准。这可能会让一些人感到惊讶。警察的明确工作不包括惩罚。这种立场通常通过诉诸意图、待遇形式或表达谴责来进行辩护。对于涉及不起诉的酌处决定的案件,例如在招募线人或标准公共秩序管理策略中,此类上诉被证明是无效的。其次,该论文敦促第一点提出了一个两难境地:要么警察经常以非法的法外方式行事,要么我们持有刑事法庭程序的标准的严格性,如果有根据的话,不是直接基于法院执行惩罚的事实。这两种选择都没有吸引力。
