How do serial killers get away with murder? For years, law enforcement, true crime writers, and journalists have portrayed serial killers as criminal masterminds. But, a closer look at serial homicide cases reveals a different story: Serial killers are opportunists who target marginalized and vulnerable populations. Specifically, they target street sex workers, who become “easy prey” because of their precarious legal status.

The number of serial killers, those who have murdered three or more people at separate times in the United States,1 has declined from its peak 128 in 1987 to just 15 in 2015.2 But people’s fascination with them has not waned. The Netflix drama Mindhunter aired in October 2017 and gave true-crime fanatics a Hollywood view of the early days of the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s (FBI) work on criminal profiling and its involvement with local law enforcement agencies on investigations.

Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk: (1) Menganalisis efektivitas pertanggungjawaban pidana terhadap pelaku usaha yang memproduksi dan memperdagangkan kosmetik ilegal berbahaya ditinjau dari Undang-Undang No. 8 Tahun 1999 tentang Perlindungan Konsumen; dan (2) Menganalisis faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi efektivitas pertanggungjawaban pidana terhadap pelaku usaha yang memproduksi dan memperdagangkan kosmetik ilegal berbahaya ditinjau dari Undang-Undang Nomor 8 Tahun 1999 tentang Perlindungan Konsumen. Penelitian ini adalah penelitian deskriptif dengan pendekatan yuridis-empiris. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa: Penegakan hukum terhadap pelaku usaha yang memproduksi dan memperdagangkan kosmetik ilegal yang berbahaya di Wilayah Polres Pelabuhan Makassar terlaksana kurang efektif. Meskipun demikian, proses penegakan hukum yang dilakukan tersebut sudah mengacu pada ketentuan perundang-undangan yang berlaku, seperti tersangka Sdr. ARFANDY alias ARFANDY BIN MUSTAFA yang terbukti melakukan tindak pidana mengedarkan sediaan farmasi/ kosmetika yang tidak memiliki izin edar, sehingga tersangka dijerat dengan Pasal 197 Jo pasal 106 ayat (1) UU R.I. No. 36 Tahun 2009 tentang Kesehatan, dan juga dijerat dengan Pasal 62 Ayat (1) Jo Pasal 8 ayat (1) UU R.I No. 8 Tahun 1999 tentang Perlindungan Konsumen. Faktor substansi hukum, struktur hukum, budaha hukum, sarana dan prasarana, dan pengetahuan hukum kurang berpengaruh terhadap penegakan hukum terhadap pelaku usaha kosmetik illegal yang berbahaya di Polres Pelabuhan Makassar. The purpose of this study is to: (1) Analyze the effectiveness of criminal liability against business actors who produce and trade dangerous illegal cosmetics in terms of Law No. 8 of 1999 concerning Consumer Protection; and (2) Analyzing the factors that influence the effectiveness of criminal liability against business actors producing and trading dangerous illegal cosmetics in terms of Law No. 8 of 1999 concerning Consumer Protection. This research is a descriptive study with a juridical-empirical approach. The results of the study show that: Law enforcement against businesses that produce and trade dangerous cosmetics that are dangerous in the Makassar Port Police Area is ineffective. Nevertheless, the law enforcement process carried out has referred to the applicable laws and regulations, such as the suspect Br. ARFANDY alias ARFANDY BIN MUSTAFA who was proven to have committed a crime of distributing pharmaceutical / cosmetic preparations that did not have a marketing authorization, so that the suspect was charged with Article 197 Jo article 106 paragraph (1) of Law R.I. No. 36 of 2009 concerning Health, and also snared with Article 62 Paragraph (1) Jo Article 8 Paragraph (1) of Law R.I No. 8 of 1999 concerning Consumer Protection. The factors of legal substance, legal structure, legal status, facilities and infrastructure, and legal knowledge have less influence on law enforcement against dangerous cosmetics business operators in Makassar Port Police

The Relationship

Although online sex work has become more accessible to people of all socio-economic statuses, labor practices and work safety have not improved since the widespread use of the internet. One way that we can help empower sex workers is to understand their motivations and experiences when using the internet. In a survey conducted by Sanders et al. (2017), the highest crime that 56.2% sex workers experienced was being threatened or harassed through texts, calls, and emails. Because there is no theory application to date on this marginalized group, three theories were proposed. This literature review highlights the need to explore why sex workers, as end-users, should be included in the user cybersecurity defense conversation, such as the cybercrimes that they face, their relationship with law enforcement, and what other factors affect their safety.

The Impact

The relevance of the article is that the effectiveness and efficiency of interaction between forensic agencies and law enforcement agencies depends on many factors, one of which is a properly "constructed" system of legal acts. At the same time, the special nature of the interaction of these entities, the attraction of its content to the administrative and legal sphere, as well as the specifics of forensic institutions and law enforcement agencies in general necessitates a detailed review of legal principles in this area and determining the place of administrative and legal regulation. The purpose of the article is to establish a system of legal bases for the interaction of forensic institutions with law enforcement agencies, as well as to determine the place of administrative and legal regulation among them. It is established that the legal basis of interaction of forensic institutions with law enforcement agencies is a system of regulations and their provisions governing the legal status of forensic institutions and law enforcement agencies, as well as the content and procedure of interaction of these entities. It is proved that administrative-legal regulation is a type of branch of the general-legal category of legal regulation, which occurs with the help of administrative law and determines the impact of law on public relations of a special nature arising from the activities of public administration. That is, we are talking about the relationship of power and management influence that prevails in the work of public authorities, local governments and so on. This is a purposeful, comprehensive, streamlining impact of law on public relations in the sphere of government, which occurs through the rules of administrative law, which are part of the system of legal principles outlined above. It is emphasized that the legal basis for the interaction of forensic institutions and law enforcement agencies have an administrative and legal basis, which is expressed in a large number of rules of administrative law, enshrined in regulations of various legal force. This situation is due to the fact that the norms of this branch of law determine: the administrative and legal status of forensic institutions and law enforcement agencies; functions, powers and tasks assigned to law enforcement agencies and forensic institutions; mechanisms of interaction of forensic institutions and law enforcement agencies in performing their functions defined by law; organizational and practical goals of this interaction; etc.

The Individual

The article examines the criminal-legal aspects of the actual problem of protecting the inviolability of the individual from the unacceptable activity of state representatives in the exercise of law enforcement functions. Topical issues for theory and practice of the legal nature of the provocation of crime and the falsification of criminals remain debatable. There are no unified approaches to the qualification of provocative and inflammatory actions and cases of "throwing" objects to citizens, for the turnover of which criminal responsibility arises, there is no theoretical justification for the criminal legal status of persons provoked to commit a crime. The article shows that the qualification of common cases of provocation of crimes and falsification of criminals according to the norms providing for liability for abuse of official authority, falsification of evidence or the results of operational investigative activities should be recognized as not accurate. At the same time, responsibility for these actions committed by subjects who are not officials, and without the participation of the latter, has not been established at all. The author proposes a draft criminal law provision providing for liability for inducing to commit a crime or its staging in order to illegally create grounds for criminal prosecution. The paper questions the approach according to which a person provoked by law enforcement officers to commit a crime is not subject to criminal liability regardless of the specifics of the encroachment.

Throughout the first half of the twentieth century, police censorship of motion pictures was a significant and always controversial index of the expansion of law enforcement agencies to include activities that many Americans deemed unbecoming of cops. As such, it offers considerable insight into contemporary debates over the scope of police power in the United States. Today’s arguments have deep roots, including in a practice that was far more prevalent—and far more contentious—than conventional histories allow. When it came to vetting motion pictures, the methods of municipal police departments varied widely. But they often illuminated broader problems: Detroit police officers who voted to ban anti-Nazi films were themselves outspoken white supremacists; Chicago cops who balked at cinema’s suggestions of eroticism were also, outside of departmental screening rooms, aggressively targeting sex workers; and Southern lawmen who sought to eliminate intimations of racial equality were known for their brutal treatment of Black residents. Police censorship of motion pictures took place not in a vacuum but within the ever-widening ambit of law enforcement, and it merits scrutiny as a measure of the authority, influence, and cultural identities of municipal cops.
