The One

This chapter considers the growing sophistication of collaborations between Hollywood and particular police forces during cinema’s first decades, showing how the locations of the emerging film industry—municipalities like New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles—decisively shaped that industry’s relationship to law enforcement. Representing a deliberate departure from the one- and two-reel films that had lampooned the police through slapstick and other farcical gestures, certain feature films also augured industrial trends that would run far deeper than onscreen depictions, involving law enforcement officials as more than just objects of narrative fascination. The national promotion of such films illustrates more than just the emergence of standardized, studio-dictated distribution and exhibition policies. It also indicates the coalescence of a national model of law enforcement that, like the strategies of circulation and ballyhoo determined at a studio’s corporate headquarters, experienced at least some degree of alteration at the local level, where municipal police departments, neighborhood cinemas, and other small businesses shaped, in idiosyncratic and often unpredictable ways, both professional methods and popular reception practices.

Oversight Body

The Ombudsman as an external oversight body for official performance, in Fikih Siyasah (constitutionality in Islam) is included in the supervision stipulated in legislation (al-musahabah al-qomariyah). Supervision is done so that public service delivery to the community is in accordance with the rights of the community. This is done because in carrying out its duties, officials are very likely to conduct mal administration, which is bad public services that cause harm to the community. The Ombudsman is an institution authorized to resolve the mal administration issue, in which one of its products is by issuing a recommendation. Although Law No. 37 of 2018 on the Ombudsman of the Republic of Indonesia states that the recommendation is mandatory, theombudsman's recommendations have not been implemented. This is due to differences in point of view, ie on the one hand in the context of law enforcement, but on the other hand the implementation of the recommendation is considered as a means of opening the disgrace of officials. Recommendations are the last alternative of Ombudsman's efforts to resolve the mal administration case, given that a win-win solution is the goal, then mediation becomes the main effort. This is in accordance with the condition of the Muslim majority of Indonesian nation and prioritizes deliberation in resolving dispute. Therefore, it is necessary to educate the community and officials related to the implementation of the Ombudsman's recommendations in order to provide good public services for the community, which is the obligation of the government.

Law enforcement officials and prosecutors have been called “gatekeepers” of the criminal justice system, as their discretionary decisions determine case outcomes. Using the focal concerns perspective as our theoretical foundation, we explore the factors that influence arrest and charging decisions in intimate partner sexual assaults (IPSA) reported to Los Angeles law enforcement in 2008. Quantitative findings are supplemented with qualitative examples from Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) detectives interviewed in 2010 and charge evaluation sheets from complaints referred to Los Angeles prosecution in 2008. Attempting to expand its theoretical relevance, we develop an alternative conceptualization and operationalization of the focal concerns perspective that is more appropriate to IPSA cases. Findings suggest that arrest decisions are motivated by suspect blameworthiness, community protection, and practical constraints and organizational consequences. In addition, charging decisions are influenced by community protection and practical constraints. Extralegal factors did not influence decision making. Directions for future research are discussed.

The City

No ceremonies marked the fiftieth anniversary of the wartime riots in New York, Los Angeles, Beaumont, Detroit, and Mobile. American political culture, if not recent historical analysis, continues to associate “the Good War” with national unity rather than unrest. But race tension was palpable to contemporaries. For example, ten months prior to Pearl Harbor and six months before a deadly shoot-out between black soldiers and white military policemen occurred in Fayetteville, North Carolina, that town had already earned the nickname “Uncle Sam's Powder Keg.” Less than ten miles from the city lay Fort Bragg, the nation's largest army camp, and visitors sensed a “seething undercurrent” of race friction coursing through the camp and the city. Thousands of black artillery trainees visited the downtown area each week, drinking and milling about in the streets. Because very few establishments welcomed their business, there was little else for them to do. A cab driver, asked about the city's hostile mood, replied that “the trouble is not ‘Is there trouble,’ but ‘What kind of trouble is it going to be and when is it going to pop?’” Similar questions animate this research, which explores the relationship between the Second World War mobilization and War Department practices and policies, on the one hand, and racial confrontations and violence involving soldiers, on the other.

People’s knowledge and understanding of the community, especially law enforcement officials as the one who implement the laws and regulations, often causes mistakes in interpreting the criminal act of fraud. Evidence shows that the public or law enforcement officials who carry out their duties if a legal relationship is carried out by someone with another person, which was originally very civil in nature (individual contract), can often develop into a complex problem because it contains other juridical aspects, for example the dimension of the crime. This study aims to determine the judge's consideration in giving a decision that is free from all lawsuits as well as the legal remedies that can be made on a decision that is free from all lawsuits in criminal cases. This study uses a descriptive normative research method. Sources of data used are secondary legal materials as the basis for research. Data collection in this study was carried out by literature study (document study), namely the collection of legal materials through written legal materials with deduction analysis techniques. Deductive analysis is drawing conclusions from general matters regarding the concrete problems faced. After the analyzing the data, the results showed that the basis for the judge's consideration of giving a verdict that is free from all lawsuits is if the accused can be proven legally and convincingly and strengthened by evidence so that the judge's conviction is obtained but it is not included in a criminal act as contained in Article 191 point (2) KUHAP which requires that it be declared to be released from all legal demands.

Close Relationship

This chapter describes how the once close relationship between the Wharton brothers irreparably broke. In late spring of 1919, after he and Ted parted ways, Leo Wharton left New York and headed west—not to Los Angeles but to Texas, which he hoped would become part of a film community that might rival Hollywood. At San Antonio Motion Pictures, he believed that he would have the opportunity to produce the kinds of feature films that he had long wanted to make. The demise of San Antonio Motion Pictures, however, effectively marked the end of Leo's film career. Ted Wharton, who left Ithaca less than a year after his brother Leo did, also traveled west. But whereas Leo had sought fame and success in Texas, Ted moved to Hollywood, which was rapidly evolving into the film capital of the United States. Almost immediately, Universal—by then well known for its popular westerns—hired him to work on the production of The Moon Riders (1920). Sadly, little more is known about the Whartons' final years. Nevertheless, a close examination of their careers restores Ted and Leo Wharton to the classical narrative of early filmmaking and reveals their profound impact on the early serial picture and their influence on later popular genres.

Nevertheless, activities which promise this also also bring an adverse impact on man and the environment when this activity was undertaken not based on the regulation that has been set. Mining illegally also occurred at the sandbanks Parangtritis, sandbanks I know about the Parangtritis are unique and useful for maintained because it is being very specific with the form of a crescent or bacon and is the one and only sandbanks found in the southeast Asia. Arrangement about mining activities that environmentally sound has set out in various regulation, but this appears to have not run as expected, so may is still needed law enforcement tighter and clear to mining sand conducted an illegal. The research was conducted by juridical normative is the approach that was undertaken based on material law by means of reviewing the theory, the concept, a normative law and the regulatory legislation that deals with this research. This approach is known the approach literature, namely by studying books, regulation and other documents related to this research. Criminal law enforcement of the mining sand illegally in sandbanks Parangtritis has started to walk but not yet optimal .The laws governing about mining sand has been is in a few rules, but the law enforcement not is the responsibility of law enforcement officials just, law enforcement is also a responsibility community in an effort to ahead and recover crimes sand mining illegally.

The article examines the film production activities of one of the leading figures of socio-political and cultural life of the Ukrainian community in New York and Los Angeles in the mid-twentieth century. The activity of M. Novak in the context of the attempt to develop the Ukrainian film industry in order to outline the national identity is studied. The peculiarities of M. Novak’s professional and public activity in the context of the specifics of the Ukrainian diaspora in Canada and the USA are revealed and his contribution to the Ukrainian film industry abroad is clarified. The study found that the common semantic and stylistic basis of films of the Ukrainian diaspora in Canada and the United States in the 20-60's of the twentieth century. became the baggage of Ukrainian culture of their creators, the traditions of domestic cinema, in which they worked before emigrating, as well as the general attitude to the preservation of traditions of Ukrainian culture of the diaspora in North America, typical of the second wave of emigration in general. Through his own activities in the field of film production and distribution of documentary and feature films, M. Novak contributed to the nation-building dialogue and the actualization of the communicative efficiency of world Ukrainians.

As the producer of the two highest grossing lms of all time, Titanic and Avatar, Jon Landau keeps a relatively low prole. Landau has been director James Cameron’s hands-on producer ever since he was hired to produce Titanic (1997), for which they won the Best Picture Academy Award. The two rst met when Landau was an executive at Twentieth Century Fox in the early 1990s. Landau currently holds the COO title at Cameron’s production company, Lightstorm Entertainment. Landau grew up around the arts in New York, where his parents Ely and Edie Landau produced independent lms (Long Day’s Journey Into Night, 1962; The Man in the Glass Booth, 1975; Hopscotch, 1980). He followed into their profession, starting on small lms in the 1980s. The work eventually took Landau to Los Angeles, where his rst full producing job came on RKO/Paramount’s Campus Man (1987). Though that lm didn’t turn heads, Landau was able to move on to bigger studio projects. The visual effects experience Landau gathered on Disney’s Honey, I Shrunk the Kids (1989) brought him the opportunity to work as a co-producer on another Disney project, Warren Beatty’s comic adaptation Dick Tracy (1990). From there, Landau took an executive position as head of physical production at Fox, where he worked on lms including The Last of the Mohicans (1992), Power Rangers (1995), Mrs. Doubtre (1993), Aliens 3 (1992), and True Lies (1994). He followed his studio stint with Titanic and joined Cameron at Lightstorm, where Landau served as a producer on Steven Soderbergh’s sci- remake Solaris (2002) before embarking on the multi-year development journey for Avatar (2009). The 3D phenomenon broke new ground with performance-capture technology and techniques. Landau and Cameron were again nominated for the Best Picture Oscar, though The Hurt Locker (2008) took the prize in 2010. But Landau and team had plenty to celebrate when the lm went on to shatter all-time revenue records, including the one held by their own reigning champ, Titanic. More Avatar lms are in the works.

Positive Results

Since ‘reformasi movement’ and decentralization takes place, a lot of local government officials (politicians and bureaucrats) are jailed due to their involvement in corruption cases. While on the one hand, this may an evidence that corruption eradication efforts have shown positive results, but on the other hand, it leaves ironic heartbreaking questions. Why these officials caught in corruption cases? Are they economically shortage that forced them to illegally "steal the state money" for themself, their family, as well as their patrons? Or is it related to the wider socio-political context that they can not control? This paper shows that the causes, patterns and modes of corruption at local level were very diverse. In addition to factors related to moral hazard, corruption is also associated with poor government administration, convoluted and unclear regulations, rigid organizational hierarchy, and political rivalry that can lead to an entrapment of official in actions that are perceived as corrupt. These conditions are exacerbated by the weakness of the behavior and commitment of law enforcement agencies in combating corruption. It is urgent, therefore, to develop an integrated system and strategy to increase the effectiveness of corruption eradication. We need to form an a comprehensive policy of combating corruption which is based on the principle of accountability and public participation.Keywords: local government corruption, anti-corruption measures, accountability, governance.

The One

The visual environment consists of global structures (e.g., a forest) made up of local parts (e.g., trees). When compound stimuli are presented (e.g., large global letters composed of arrangements of small local letters), the global unattended information slows responses to local targets. Using a negative priming paradigm, we investigated whether inhibition is required to process hierarchical stimuli when information at the local level is in conflict with the one at the global level. The results show that when local and global information is in conflict, global information must be inhibited to process local information, but that the reverse is not true. This finding has potential direct implications for brain models of visual recognition, by suggesting that when local information is conflicting with global information, inhibitory control reduces feedback activity from global information (e.g., inhibits the forest) which allows the visual system to process local information (e.g., to focus attention on a particular tree).
