ArticlePublisher: Paris : IIAP, oct./déc. 2000Revue Française D'Administration Publique 96, p. 577-588Abstract: The development of criminal liability has had an impact at all 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 representive at local level.Abstract: The engagement of criminal lability 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 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 rules proliferate and as result become less effective
