Move for better law enforcement

At long last, the performance assessment mechanisms for law enforcement agencies are to be adjusted. The mal-designed assessment requirements, the misleading quotas that have been adopted in particular, are an obvious source of injustice and corruption.

Abolishing such performance evaluation indexes for the judicial authorities as the number of criminal detentions and the number of requests for arrests approved, as well as the number of registered cases that led to criminal indictment and guilty rulings, and of cases resolved is no doubt conducive to reducing injustice and rent-seeking.

Under the pressure of compulsory quotas, law enforcement departments have an abnormal thirst for "breakthroughs" in dealing with criminal cases.
