ABSTRACT

In various countries, laws are increasingly being evaluated by examining the effects in practice once a law enters into force. No systematic overview currently exists on the impact of these ex-post legislative evaluations. Therefore, this scoping review systematically examines the various types of impact of ex-post legislative evaluations. The studies we looked at demonstrate different types of impact that can be divided into the following seven categories: knowledge and understanding; confirmation of well-functioning legislation; legislative revision; influence on the legislative process; influence on the policy process; influence in the political sphere; and influence on society. The various types of impact are sometimes interrelated and can exist in various degrees. At the national and European levels, legislative revision and the tactical use of evaluation results in the political sphere, are the two most often mentioned categories. In contrast, the impact on society category is rarely mentioned.

摘要

在许多国家/地区，人们越来越多地通过检查法律生效后的实践效果来评估法律。目前还没有关于这些事后立法评估的影响的系统概述。因此，本范围审查系统地检查了事后立法评估的各种影响。我们研究的研究展示了不同类型的影响，可分为以下七类：知识和理解；确认运作良好的立法；立法修订；对立法过程的影响；对政策过程的影响；在政治领域的影响；和对社会的影响。各种类型的影响有时是相互关联的，并且可能以不同的程度存在。在国家和欧洲层面，立法修改和评估结果在政治领域的策略性使用是最常提到的两个类别。相比之下，社会影响类则很少被提及。
