Expression of Individual Psychological Personality Traits Depending on the Level of Anger Repression (A Case Study of a Sample Group of Law Enforcement Officers)

This exploratory case study focused on multicultural communication training within the community policing context. Little research has addressed what constitutes effective content and delivery of multicultural training for law enforcement officers. Brislin and Yoshida's four-component multicultural plan was combined with limited law enforcement-related multicultural training literature to design a training program for a small city's police department. Two 4-hour training sessions were conducted by one of the investigators using a culture-general content approach and selected training methods to determine their usefulness for improving officers' multi-cultural competencies. The case included the training sessions together with pre-and posttraining activities over a period of approximately 3 months. Data were collected with selected test instruments and also from the field notes taken during the case activities. The results suggest that the culture-general model and interactive training methods and trainer qualifications may be key to yielding positive training outcomes.

When performing tasks by an employee in special conditions of service, not only professional qualities and compliance with qualification requirements, but also a psychologically stable state (psychological readiness to act in extreme situations, neuropsychic stability, mental adaptation, etc.) play an important role. The purpose of the study was to study the personality traits of employees of the internal affairs bodies of the Russian Federation serving in the North Caucasus region. In the study, we used the following empirical methods: G. Shmishek's questionnaire for adults, the forecast (Prognoz) -1 questionnaire (express assessment of neuropsychic stability), a modified (extended) version of the ITO questionnaire (KV Sugonyaev's modification). In total, 184 employees who served in the Republic of Dagestan in 2019-2020 took part in the study. For situational reasons, this sample was divided into three subgroups: 45 employees, 79 employees and 60 employees. In the process of selecting employees sent to the North Caucasus region, it is necessary to study the characteristics of neuropsychic stability, character accentuations, the level of anxiety, behavior, this will make it possible to predict the quality of training of law enforcement officers, the reliability of the employee's behavior, and contribute to his success in stressful conditions. For the purposes of primary prevention, employees for whom a high level of anxiety is characteristic, a low level of neuropsychic stability should be excluded from those sent on business trips to special conditions of service.

Human trafficking cases are now a serious problem in Indonesia. This problem has reached remote areas. Victims of People Trafficking Crimes (TPPO) come from low-educated and poor families. The beginning of this victim is because an invitation from someone, usually from the family itself persuades the prospective victim to work in the land of people in the hope of earning a large income to change the family life. Most of the TPPO victims are about 15-20 years old and do not finish school, they are tempted by the promise of working abroad. In reality, what is promised is not realized. Kupang is one of the many regions in Indonesia that is the largest TPPO victim sender area in Indonesia. TPPO cannot be eradicated because of the involvement of Law Enforcement Officials in Indonesia, in addition to the lack of understanding of law enforcement officials related to the use of TPPO legislation. This study uses a qualitative method with a case study approach, the location of data collection is in Kupang, East Nusa Tenggara. This study concluded that TPPO law enforcement in the area is still not running to the maximum, some shortcomings occur in the field in addition to the inconsistency among law enforcement officials. As for the recommendations of this study is the need to provide intensive training for Law Enforcement Officers to have a good understanding of TPPO, the head of law enforcement officials must dare to dismantle the mafia practices of people trafficking in their institutions.

We analyse the profession of criminal defence lawyers (“advocates”) in Russia to understand their potential for collective action in an imperfect institutional environment. In 2013, we conducted a survey of 372 advocates in 9 regions of Russia. The following two main hypotheses are tested: (1) lawyers with strong ethical values have a higher demand for collective action; and (2) the negative experience of clients’ rights violations by law enforcement officers can motivate advocates to support the foundation of a strong professional association. We suggest that an advocate's profession with bona fide members at the core could be an instrument to evaluate and to improve the quality of law enforcement in Russia.

Recent Developments

Laws inevitably reflect political, social, and economic histories and more recent developments regardless of jurisdiction. Recent years have brought significant and rapid change in legal context and practice. Legal education must respond to this, if necessary with new methods and approaches to enable lawyers, judges, prosecutors, and law enforcement officers to meet the requirements of what is now a global market and to further serve the interests of society. Many lawyers are now expected to perform their work in a domestic and wider context. The education system of Vietnam in general, and legal education in particular, has raised many issues and challenges and the question remains—how to reform legal education to meet relevant needs. This article describes and analyses current legal education provision and identifies potential solutions for reform.
