Prefects up Against Judges :
the Emergence of a New Form of Regulation of Local Power
The development of criminal liability has had an impact at ail levels of administrative and political action. The prefect is also subject to criminal liability : it being all the more symbolic given that the prefect is the State representative at local level.
The engagement of criminal liability is linked to the actions of the prefect and is part of a general move away from State liability. Decentralisation has operated a transfer of competences from the State in favor of local executives. Prefects, deprived of their traditional means of action, must personalise their relationships with those elected locally, whereas previously their powers were sufficient in themselves. Moreover, the type of control which they exercise no longer takes the form of supervision, but is a control of legality carried out a posteriori. The penal judge has, besides, an increasingly important role in reviewing the acts of public authorities, while the State disengages itself and normative rates proliferate and as a result become less effective.
