Les facteurs favorisant la réussite de l'instigation en matière de drogues à Montréal en 2018
The rise of new public management is "one of the most significant international trends in public administration" (Hood, 1991). The police services were not spared by this new type of administration (Dupont, 2003). It is in this context of accountability, entrepreneurial management, economic constraints, the search for effectiveness and efficiency that many studies on the evaluation and performance of the police have been carried out based on 1970s, particularly in relation to the prioritization of files and the factors favoring its resolution. This study is in line with this aim of evaluating criminal investigations, in particular the effectiveness and efficiency of the management of drug investigations and the factors favoring its success. The present study aims to meet three objectives. The first objective is to draw up a detailed portrait of the drug instigation files at the SPVM in 2018. The second objective is, in an exploratory manner, to test the transferability of the model of Kilfeather's instigation (2011) to the drug instigation at the SPVM in 2018. Finally, the third objective, directly related to police efficiency, is to identify the non-institutional and institutional factors that promote the success of the instigation. Descriptive analyzes were produced in order to meet the first two objectives and logistic and linear regressions were used to identify the factors favoring the success of the drug investigation in Montreal in 2018. Descriptive analysis of the 324 files drug investigation in Montreal in 2018 reveals a process similar to Kilfeather (2011) in which three elements are essential in this type of investigation, namely the use of a human source, the use of physical surveillance and drug seizure, during a search or by an undercover officer. The study's multivariate analyzes suggest that, for the three definitions of success of resolving, arresting and submitting a lawsuit, the three significant factors that promote success are the fact that the offense is committed on public roads, the fact that the suspect is traveling in a vehicle and the number of watches.
