The relevance of the research of the Leningrad city police activities in the local anti- aircraft system during the Great Patriotic War is due to the continuing falsifications of the history of special services in western and domestic publications. Despite a significant amount of researches of the police activities during the war, above-mentioned authors including, the activities of the city police in the system of the local anti- aircraft system are not thoroughly elaborated and are not presented. The aim of the authors’ study was the activity of the Leningrad city police in the local anti-aircraft system as a unit, which was a part of NKVD office in the Leningrad region and a part of the People’s Commissariat of Internal Affairs of the Soviet Union simultaneously. The task was to determine the structure and responsibility for the anti- aircraft defense at the grassroots level and participation of the city police in this system. Besides, it was necessary to identify the main positions of the Leningrad city police, whose holders directly had to organize and monitor the work in the hotbeds of defeat through the structures of self- defense groups of households and dormitories. The results of the authors’ study revealed that the main work with the grass-roots formations of the local anti- aircraft system in the city blocks was performed by the divisional inspectors, who instructed, supervised and directed the work of self-defense groups of households and dormitories through housemanagement and commandants. Besides, the most capable policemen on duty were involved in this work, most often due to the absence of an officer at the station for any reason. In turn, the head of the territorial police department through his deputy managed the divisional inspectors and police officers. In connection with the work of divisional inspectors and policemen in neighborhoods, streets and squares, they often took a practical part in the elimination of hotbeds of defeat from artillery shelling and bombardment of enemy aircraft. In most cases they coped with this kind of activity with honor, sparing no effort and lives, starting to extinguish fire, without waiting for the arrival of the fire brigades.

Two African-American civilians, Sean Bell and Amadou Bailo Diallo, suffered tragic deaths as a result of use of lethal force by the police. This case study presents an in-depth analysis of the determinants that affected the officers’ use of lethal force with regard to the above mentioned cases. In 1999, Amadou Bailo Diallo was killed in a 41-bullet police shooting in New York. Similarly in 2006, Sean Bell was shot to death in a 50-bullet fusillade that involved officers from The New York City Police Department. After the Bell shooting, officers of The New York City Police Department were under investigation. The case study focuses on and examines the similarities and differences of both cases, official and public reactions in the aftermath of the shootings, investigation processes, as well as the indictments of the police officers involved in both cases. Finally, this study proposes some suggestions on the use of excessive force based on the findings of the two specific cases.

This study examined the effect of customized insoles in relieving postwork discomfort in healthy individuals whose jobs require long periods of standing and walking. CompuSole insoles were worn by 122 New York City Police Department officers for up to 5 weeks for an average of 7 hours per day. The officers walked an average of 3 miles per day. Before the study, one-fifth of the police officers in this study experienced foot pain or discomfort at the end of their workday; 15% had calluses, corns, or athlete’s foot; 18% had sought treatment for a foot problem in the past; and 20% had worn foot orthoses. There was a significant reduction in tiredness in the feet at the end of the day after wearing the insoles, but no improvement in back or leg discomfort. At the end of the workday, 68% had less foot discomfort and 60% were more comfortable at work when wearing the insoles. (J Am Podiatr Med Assoc 91(10): 515-520, 2001)

Wood et al. (2020) studied the rollout of a procedural justice training program in the Chicago Police Department and found large and statistically significant impacts on complaints and sustained complaints against police officers and police use of force. This document describes a subtle statistical problem that led the magnitude of those estimates to be inflated. We then re-analyze the data using a methodology that corrects for this problem. The re-analysis provides less strong conclusions about the effectiveness of the training than the original study: although the point estimates for most outcomes and specifications are negative and of a meaningful magnitude, the confidence intervals typically include zero or very small effects. On the whole, we interpret the data as providing suggestive evidence that procedural justice training reduced the use of force, but no statistically significant evidence for a reduction in complaints or sustained complaints.

The Impact

An increasing number of minority youth experience contact with the criminal justice system. But how does the expansion of police presence in poor urban communities affect educational outcomes? Previous research points at multiple mechanisms with opposing effects. This article presents the first causal evidence of the impact of aggressive policing on minority youths’ educational performance. Under Operation Impact, the New York Police Department (NYPD) saturated high-crime areas with additional police officers with the mission to engage in aggressive, order-maintenance policing. To estimate the effect of this policing program, we use administrative data from more than 250,000 adolescents age 9 to 15 and a difference-in-differences approach based on variation in the timing of police surges across neighborhoods. We find that exposure to police surges significantly reduced test scores for African American boys, consistent with their greater exposure to policing. The size of the effect increases with age, but there is no discernible effect for African American girls and Hispanic students. Aggressive policing can thus lower educational performance for some minority groups. These findings provide evidence that the consequences of policing extend into key domains of social life, with implications for the educational trajectories of minority youth and social inequality more broadly.

On the basis of considering Law Number 35 of 2009 concerning Narcotics, it is stated that narcotics on the one hand are drugs or materials that are useful in the field of treatment or health services and the development of science and on the other hand can also cause dependence which is very detrimental if misused or used without strict control and supervision. The problem in this research is how to tackle and eradicate narcotics crime? What are the efforts of the Medan Police in overcoming and eradicating narcotics crimes? What are the Obstacles in the Countermeasures and Eradication of Narcotics Crimes at the Medan Police? This research is descriptive in nature, which aims to describe exactly what the characteristics of an individual, condition, symptom, or group are, or to determine the spread of a symptom, or to determine whether there is a relationship between a symptom and other symptoms in society. Efforts to overcome and eradicate narcotics crimes within the jurisdiction of the Medan City Police are carried out through non-penal policies and penal policies. Non-penal policies are carried out through preventive and preemptive measures which are implemented through counseling, narcotics safaris, distribution of pamphlets and billboards as well as approaches to traditional and religious leaders as well as community development. This approach was carried out by the Medan City Police Resort in collaboration with BNN and experts through the perspectives of cultural anthropology, sociology, communication, psychology, healthy life education (public health science). The non-penal policy is aimed at children (including school-age youth) and the general public. Penal policies through law enforcement are also applied to police officers who make mistakes in disclosing narcotics cases. Obstacles in overcoming and eradicating narcotics crime in the jurisdiction of the Medan City Police Resort can be viewed from legal factors, law enforcement factors, facilities and facilities in law enforcement, community factors and cultural factors. In general, Law Number 35 of 2009 concerning Narcotics is more comprehensive in regulating the actions that can be taken to uncover narcotics networks. factors of facilities and facilities in law enforcement, community factors and cultural factors.
