In response to the wide range of grassroots cases and the uneven level of investigation and handling of cases, the disciplinary inspection and supervision agencies in various regions have changed the case quality assessment to the grasp, focusing on "clear facts, conclusive evidence, accurate determination, proper handling, complete procedures, and procedural compliance. "The requirements of the work are to examine the quality of the investigations and handle cases, dissect and screen each case case by case, face the problem and flaws, summarize the common characteristics of flawed cases, draw inferences from one another and promote reforms, strengthen the next business guidance, and continuously improve the standardization and legalization of case handling. Level to ensure that every case can stand the test.
In practice, what are the common problems with the quality of cases handled at the grassroots level?
How to closely follow the core elements and key links, and strengthen the whole-process management and control of case quality by improving the ability to check?
We interviewed three leaders of the prefectural and municipal commissions for discipline inspection.
Carrying out the requirements of both discipline and law, and improving the ability to analyze and deal with problems from a political height are the practical requirements for high-quality development
Reporter: Grassroots social governance involves a wide range of areas, multiple policies, large funds, and many corruption risks. The task of investigating and handling cases is heavy. How to correctly understand the urgent need to improve the quality of investigations and handling of cases?
Walks: At present, the grassroots investigation and handling of cases still have problems such as handling cases, interference with human relations, insufficient skills, etc., for example, some lack the ability to analyze and deal with problems from the perspective of the overall political situation and the interests of the masses. They only ask for cases. It's over, not about political effects, disciplinary effects, and social effects.
The leaders of some departments and units did not pay enough attention to the quality of the case and did not have many methods. As a result, Jiulong's water management was divided into two parts, and there was no joint force to improve the quality of the case.
Some are constrained by human face and face, and they are really lacking in confidence.
Some have insufficient knowledge reserves, face the dual tasks of disciplinary and law enforcement and the requirements of both disciplinary and law enforcement, and lack of capabilities for comprehensive analysis, research and judgment, and precise and qualitative disposal.
High-quality development is concrete and practical. It is necessary to overcome difficulties by focusing on individual focal points, difficulties, and pain points in order to achieve stability and long-term development.
The quality of cases handled at the grassroots level is related to the overall quality of disciplinary inspection and supervision, whether it can adhere to the people's standpoint, continue to rectify corruption and work style issues around the people, and whether various policies and measures that benefit the people and promote common prosperity can be accurately implemented and effective.
Therefore, it is necessary to firmly grasp the "big nation", keep a close eye on the operation of grassroots power, and through high-quality investigations and handling of cases, timely correct implementation of policies that are not resolute, discounted, and flexible, so as to ensure that the Party Central Committee’s government orders are unblocked, and orders are prohibited. The vital interests of the masses.
Song Xianglin: Judging from the actual situation in Zhenjiang, the quality of the three-level cases at the city, county and township levels is generally decreasing, especially in the towns (sub-districts) and the dispatched agencies that are relatively weak in investigating and handling cases, which are mainly reflected in the inadequate implementation of the system, ineffective internal supervision, and quality of cases. Lack of consciousness.
For example, inaccurate fact determination, lack of solid evidence, and irregular documents in some cases are essentially caused by the inadequate implementation of the system; some trial personnel are content with written trials and cannot accurately grasp the background and characteristics of the case. This results in inaccurate handling of individual cases; the undertaking department and the trial department cannot complement each other in the control of the quality of the case, especially for some difficult and complex problems, lack of efficient communication mechanisms, and disagreements cannot be studied and resolved in a timely manner.
Ensuring the quality of cases is an inherent requirement for the high-quality development of discipline inspection and supervision in the new era.
From the perspective of political effects, the disciplinary inspection and supervision agency is a political agency. Once the quality of a case has a problem, it is not only a business issue, but also a serious political issue. It will affect the effectiveness of anti-corruption and damage the credibility of the disciplinary inspection and supervision agency, and it will affect the overall strictness. The realization of the strategic goal of governing the party.
From the perspective of the effects of discipline and law, ensuring the quality of cases is the basic requirement for supervision and enforcement. Seeking truth from facts and handling cases in accordance with regulations and disciplines is conducive to maintaining party discipline and the seriousness of national laws, and is conducive to improving the level of legalization and standardization of discipline inspection and supervision. It is conducive to promoting the modernization of the grassroots governance system and governance capabilities.
From the perspective of social effects, grassroots cadres directly face the masses. If the outcome of the case is distorted, it will not only weaken the enthusiasm of party members and cadres to start a business, but also affect the sense of gain and satisfaction of the masses.
Li Chengkuan: There is a shortage of talents with mature grassroots politics and full discipline and law, and they are not good at analyzing problems politically, using rule of law thinking, and lack of ability to deal with problems in a rule of law. This has led to the fact that evidence, qualitative handling, and procedures at the grassroots level are involved. There are still some problems. For example, the factual evidence in some cases is not clear and conclusive, and the collection of evidence is incomplete, insufficient, and inadequate; in some cases, the qualitative and qualitative measures are inaccurate, and the phenomenon of improper quotation of regulations or even errors is more common. Some township commissions for discipline inspection are more subjective and arbitrary in researching the level of punishment, and the applicable conditions for mitigation, lighter, aggravated, and more severe punishments are not clear; some cases are not standardized, such as case procedural materials Incomplete, lack of investigation plans, transcripts of pre-trial conversations, etc.
To solve these problems, from the perspective of deepening the reform of the discipline inspection and supervision system, it is to constantly adapt to the realistic requirements of the changes in the discipline inspection and supervision work concept, system, methods, and methods brought about by the reform.
From the perspective of safeguarding the real interests of the people, it is a concrete manifestation of the unity of political effects, disciplinary effects, and social effects.
From the perspective of improving the grassroots supervision and governance system, it is an effective guarantee to promote the integration of supervision into grassroots governance.
Give full play to the role of case quality evaluation and promotion, and resolutely keep to the three major barriers of factual evidence, qualitative processing, and formal procedures
Reporter: Improving the ability to check the quality of cases is an important aspect of ensuring the quality of cases. What innovative practices are there in this regard?
Li Chengkuan: Case quality evaluation is an important measure to discover problems, promote rectification, and standardize case handling. It can effectively guarantee and improve the quality of cases.
We insist on ensuring and improving the quality of cases, regularly carry out case quality evaluation work, firmly grasp the case trial, the last pass in the investigation and handling of cases, and through the case quality evaluation, promote the trial department to deal with unclear facts and insufficient evidence. Dare to say no to defective cases, and be good at saying no, and resolutely prevent unclear facts, unsolid evidence, and irregular procedures due to one-sided emphasis on “quick establishment, quick investigation, quick trial, quick conclusion” and the emphasis on speed and quality. , Qualitatively deal with inaccurate and other issues.
In addition, we have also explored and innovated the system based on the actual situation, and implemented the level-up and coordinated trial to strictly control the quality. That is, the Municipal Discipline Inspection Commission's case trial office will take the lead in setting up a special team for the coordinated trial work to carry out the level-up and coordinated trial of the cases investigated in various counties and districts. Strictly check and unify qualitative standards to ensure precise enforcement of discipline and law enforcement.
In the co-trial, the focus is to provide guiding opinions to counties and districts in terms of case handling procedures, evidence review and judgment, fact determination, and qualitative handling.
By strengthening the three links of formal review before the co-trial, collective research during the co-trial, and timely filing after the co-trial, it not only promotes the formation of a case quality assurance mechanism with joint efforts and joint advancement, but also points to the face to timely discover and resolve some existing cases in the case handling work. Outstanding issue.
Song Xianglin: In order to effectively improve the standardization and standardization of case trials, we have established a quality assurance mechanism and issued case quality inspection evaluation methods, case quality inspection evaluation standards and other documents, using annual centralized evaluations, irregular random inspections, cross-examinations, and special evaluations. Various methods such as investigations have strengthened the work of case quality evaluation, timely detection of problems, notification of feedback, and supervision of rectification.
At the same time, we will increase the intensity of guidance, implement a system of filing reports for the hearing of grass-roots lien cases, and intervene in advance of the case for approval, and encourage county and district disciplinary inspection and supervision agencies to innovate the trial mode of cases based on actual conditions.
For example, the Commission for Discipline Work of Zhenjiang New District has established a three-level check-up system of “upgraded nuclear review, cross-examination, and joint review” to effectively guarantee the quality of case trials.
In addition, we have worked hard to build a circular connection mechanism. In the internal cycle, we have further optimized the early intervention trial system, introduced a check method for the trial of lien cases, and solved the problems of low integration of preliminary investigations and trials at the early stage of handling cases and unequal ability of the grassroots to process lien cases. The trial interview verification system has been promoted to the whole city, and full-case verification interviews have been conducted for some difficult and complicated cases to prevent and control the risk of illegal evidence.
In terms of external circulation, we have established mechanisms for case consultations, situation notifications, joint training, and court hearings with judicial organs for duty crime cases, and strive to perform duties efficiently and smoothly.
Walks: We adhere to problem-oriented, goal-oriented and result-oriented, constantly improve the system and mechanism, and promote the standardization of work with systemization.
In response to the problem of inaccurate accountability at the grassroots level, a case review review committee has been established to check the system. Based on the implementation of "township case and county review, city filing, and provincial spot checks", regular efforts are organized to conduct centralized review and review of the handling of key cases in the city, and strengthen Problem rectification and promotion of precision and standardization of accountability.
In response to irregular documents and low-quality documents, a document filing and review system has been established to strengthen the review of documents such as examination and investigation reports, trial reports, prosecution opinions, and sanction decisions in all counties (cities) and districts. Case 1 feedback, promptly supervise the rectification and improvement of existing problems, and carry out the selection of excellent documents, promote mutual exchanges and learning, and improve together.
In view of the shortcomings and weaknesses of the investigation and handling of duty crime cases at the grassroots level, establish a divisional contact guidance system for duty crime cases, divide 9 counties (cities) into 3 areas, arrange special personnel for point-to-point guidance, and explore the implementation of a special review system for procedures for duty crime cases , A special person is responsible for forming a special procedural review report, which will be submitted to the Standing Committee of the Disciplinary Committee for discussion as an attachment to the trial report.
In addition, through the improvement of the court trial observation and exchange and discussion system for official crime cases, the organization of grassroots case handling personnel to observe and observe self-administered case trials, sum up experience, find deficiencies, and continuously improve the quality of grassroots case handling.
Grasp the key links of evaluation and investigation, strengthen the application of results, and lay a solid foundation for case quality from the source
Reporter: What practical thinking do you have to strengthen the application of the results of case quality evaluation?
Song Xianglin: When assessing the quality of a case, in the process of grasping whether the factual evidence is clear and conclusive, whether the qualitative processing is accurate and appropriate, whether the procedures are complete and compliant, whether the management documents are standardized, whether the implementation is in place, etc. There is a "political" requirement to ensure that politics is always emphasized and politics is emphasized in all aspects of case investigation and handling, the nature of the case is grasped from a political height, the analysis of the problem is viewed from a political standpoint, and the problem is handled from the political performance.
It is necessary to ensure the precise use of the "four forms", to accurately grasp the facts of the case and the two quantifications of discipline and law. Attitude, the variable, should be strict when strict and lenient when lenient.
On this basis, through the construction of simultaneous citation, strengthen the application of results, on the one hand, the quality of the case is checked throughout the entire process of handling the case, taking the case for approval, the designated jurisdiction case and other major influential cases as the starting point, and adopting random inspections, inspections on the case, etc. In this way, the evaluation will be integrated into the daily work, and the warning effect of the evaluation will be exerted.
On the other hand, we will give play to the demonstration and guiding effect of evaluation and investigation, organize the on-site experience exchange meeting on case quality improvement, observe and learn good measures and practices in high-quality cases, and promote various departments to find gaps and clarify standards.
Walks: We have incorporated the quality of cases into the important content of the annual report of the disciplinary committee secretary of the county (city). The quality of cases should be fully grasped and the awareness of co-management should be strengthened, and the level of legalization and standardization of supervision, inspection, review and investigation should be improved.
To lay a solid foundation for case quality, it is necessary to strengthen regional cooperation, especially in response to the low quality of case handling by dispatched (outgoing) agencies, further explore a review and check mechanism that is in line with the actual situation of grassroots dispatched agencies, and make up for the shortcomings of grassroots case quality.
At the same time, give full play to the role of the baton of annual work assessment, increase the weight of case quality in the assessment of discipline inspection and supervision, establish a one-vote veto mechanism for case quality, and strengthen accountability to force the implementation of case quality responsibilities.
Li Chengkuan: Through combing and summarizing the characteristics of the law, we focus on the deep-seated issues that affect the quality of the case, and focus on the difficult and complex issues that are prominent, controversial, and urgently awaiting conclusion during the evaluation process, and we are constantly making up for shortcomings, blocking loopholes, and strengths and weaknesses. It organizes the compilation and printing of "Trial Reminders" on a regular basis, which involves factual evidence, qualitative processing, formalities, and sanctions, etc., to guide the work of handling cases. At the same time, in accordance with the latest policy requirements and practical needs, the document standards were refined, the "Trial Procedures and Document Specifications" was issued, and 46 trial document templates were revised and compiled, and the behavior qualitative, textual expression, and quotation of regulations in case trials were refined and standardized. This requirement provides a detailed and detailed standard reference for standardizing the handling of cases. We will further standardize the evaluation procedures, strengthen the application of results, use the evaluation as a barometer and alarm for the quality of the city’s cases, regularly sort out statistical data, analyze problems, and use it as an important basis for evaluating the quality of grassroots discipline inspection and supervision to achieve accuracy. Check the gaps.
