“…Despite reforms, corruption, blunders, and scandals continued to plague the KMT (Kallgren, 1965; Kerr, 1992; Plummer, 1970; Roy, 2003). For example, following Taiwanese demonstrations on February 28, 1947 (now referred to simply as the “February 28 Incident”), in the city of Kaohsiung, Chiang Kai‐shek ordered military troops and TPPA officers to suppress the uprising.…”

This study offers a historical review and analysis of public perceptions of police performance in Taiwan spanning the 64‐year history of Taiwan's National Police Agency (NPA). Data for the study were drawn from several sources, including selected waves of the Taiwan Social Change Survey, Transparency International's Corruption Perception Index, the World Values Survey, the Taiwan Public Safety and Police Service Survey, a Gallup survey, and a survey conducted by the authors. The findings indicate that there has been a gradual but steady improvement in public perceptions of police performance in three perceptual areas: perceptions of police officers in general, perceptions of police service, and perceptions of police corruption. Additionally, the increasingly positive opinion of the police parallels Taiwan's political transition from authoritarian rule to full democracy and the subsequent professionalization of the NPA. However, despite the positive trend, three issues continue to concern the public: service attitudes, investigative effectiveness, and police corruption. Policy implications for law enforcement administration are discussed.

“…11 Other suppressive measures included the expulsion of Western missionaries, presumably for involvement in an independence movement, and arrests of Japanese tourists aiding Taiwanese dissidents 12 In contrast to these suppressive measures, in 1968 the free education program was expanded from six to nine years. The number of high school and university graduates would soon increase and many of these students would desire to study abroad.…”

The article presents the results of the study of probability category in the popular science fiction novels “The Expanse” by James S. Corey and “Blindsight” by Peter Watts. According to the author, the pragmatic realization of probability category in the area “reality / unreality” is to analyze the pragmatic content of a particular communicative situation of interaction of communication participants. The analysis of the pragmatic content of the language units is focused on establishing those elements that carry information about the future. Pragmatic realization of probability category in the area “reality / unreality” occurs not only in a semantic-functional way of sentence construction, but also through modality. The research material showed that the semantic division of modality is determined by two criteria: quantitative and qualitative assessment of the speaker’s knowledge. Selected cases of modal probability are transmitted by units of different language levels: lexical, lexical-grammatical, lexical-syntactic and syntactic. The position of probability markers is significant to determine the degree of probability of information in the English-language utterance. The author believes that this problem requires a multifaceted study. There are still a number of issues that require more detailed study, namely, semantics of expressing degrees of probability, the plurality of means of expressing modal relations, and so on.
