This article aims to explain maqâṣid al-Qur’ân according to M. Quraish Shihab and its application in interpreting verses related to the use of social media. The problem that will be answered in this article covers two main issues, namely how the perspective of maqâṣid al-Qur’ân according to M. Quraish Shihab and how it is applied in interpreting the verses of the use of social media. The method used is the thematic method, namely discussing verses based on themes. Fr om this study the authors concluded that according to M. Quraish Shihab there are six elements of a large group of universal goals of the al-Qur’ân, namely strengthening the faith, humans as caliphs, unifying books, law enforcement, callers to the ummah of wasathan, and mastering world civilization. The quality of information lies in the strength of the monotheistic dimension which is the highest peak of the Qur’anic maqâṣid. M. Quraish Shihab offers six diction which can be done by recipients of information in interacting on social media. Thus, it aims to usher in the knowledge and understanding of what is conveyed in carrying out human mission as caliph, enlightenment through oral and written, law enforcement, unifying mankind and the universe to the ummah of wasathan, and mastery of world civilization

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to explore the availability of information on law enforcement websites in the state of Wisconsin.Design/methodology/approachThe study conducted a content analysis of all 179 county and municipal local law enforcement agency websites within Wisconsin. The authors then implemented a comparative analysis that explored whether the quantity and quality of information available on law enforcement websites are similar to those of local governments and school districts. The authors then estimated models to test whether there is a relationship between the population size served and gender distribution of law enforcement departments to the availability of information on law enforcement websites.FindingsLaw enforcement websites contain a noticeable lack of information. The finding is even more apparent when comparing law enforcement websites to the websites of local governments and school districts. Finally, the authors show a positive link between information sharing on law enforcement websites and the proportion of the civilian staff at an agency that are women.Originality/valuePast studies that reviewed the make-up of law enforcement websites analyzed large law enforcement departments rather than local law enforcement departments, which notably represent the majority of most law enforcement departments. The authors also explicitly demonstrate that the commitment to information sharing is lagging within law enforcement websites compared to local-level governments. Future scholarship and law enforcement departments may benefit from exploring the employment of female civilians.

Modern law enforcement agencies are constantly struggling with crimes against documents. Due to increasing quality of counterfeit documents and different physicochem­ical properties of inks, such crimes are becoming harder to detect. This situation obliges forensic laboratories for the development and implementation of testing procedures with the use of some modern techniques of chemical analysis. CE opens up numerous possibilities for various analytical applications, mainly due to its numerous advantages, the diversity of its modes and the compatibility with different detection systems. This study focuses on discussing two modes of CE: CZE and MECC and three different detection systems: DAD, LIF and MS. By using them information about substances exhibiting absorption, fluorescence and about molecular mass of analyzed compound can be received. In the Laboratory for Forensic Chemistry many different coloring matters were examined, including ballpoint, fountain pen, gel and stamp pad inks in most popular colors as well as a large group of branded and off-brand printing inks.The obtained results showed the great applicability of CE-DAD method. It has been proved that LIF and MS detections improve the discriminating possibilities of CE provid­ing additional information on samples.

The Relationship

The article analyzes conceptual foundations, views and ideas concerning the essence of expert prevention. The relationship between the concepts of «prevention» and «prevention», which is in contact with each other, is investigated, because one of the main problems of the criminal investigation of the phenomenon of expert prevention is the ambiguity of both scientific understanding and the practical application of the corresponding conceptual-categorical apparatus. It is emphasized that the essence of expert prevention is the influence of the relevant subjects on crime through the use of special professional knowledge. That is, to the subject of forensic examination, should include studies of circumstances on the basis of which can be and should be developed scientific, organizational and technical measures of preventive nature. Proven that among the tasks of preventive nature, which can be solved by the staff of judicial-expert institutions, the development of aimed at forecasting in criminalistic aspects of circumstances contributing to the commission of crimes, taking into account the possibilities of certain types of expert research, should occupy an important place. It is proved that the preventive activities of forensic institutions of Ukraine should be carried out: in the production of examinations in specific criminal, administrative or civil cases; by summarizing expert, as well as forensic investigative practices; in the process of research on expert prevention; by providing on the basis of special knowledge of scientific and practical assistance to government agencies and public organizations in identifying circumstances conducive to the commission of crimes. In order to improve the quality of expert-preventive activities, the staff of the forensic institutions of Ukraine should pay maximum attention to the promotion of preventive activities among representatives of law enforcement and law enforcement agencies. On the basis of the analysis, the author’s definition of expert prevention is given: the activity of a forensic expert based on the laws and by-laws of normative legal acts, aimed at revealing the circumstances contributing to the commission of a crime, and the development of measures for their elimination with the use of special knowledge.

The fight against the manifestation of extremism among young people is an urgent problem that goes beyond law enforcement and requires a comprehensive socio-political solution. At the same time, preventive measures and technologies for the prevention of this negative phenomenon of public life play a significant role in countering extremism. The effective implementation of crowdsourcing network technologies unites national security entities for a coordinated solution of an urgent problem and helps to level the extremist threat. Their effectiveness should be measured based on the number of identified facts of an extremist orientation, and also the quality of leveling the negative consequences caused by extremist activity. To achieve the goal and objectives of the study, a system of scientific methods based on the systemic principle, the institutional approach, and the sociological method was used. All these methods made it possible to identify the importance of network crowdsourcing technologies for the prevention of extremism among the youth in the context of interaction between the state and citizens. When determining the effectiveness of crowdsourcing network technologies, the study evaluated the projects “Cibersquad”, “MediaGuard” and “STOPTERROR”, which participated in the prevention of extremism among young people. Largely due to their promotion, the level of extremist crime in 2019-2020 was reduced (compared to 2018). The article substantiates the effectiveness of crowdsourcing network technologies and concludes that their widespread adoption can “socialize” the system of preventing extremism among the youth, provided that not only government agencies, but also constructively-minded citizens’ associations are its most important actors.

Emotional Burnout

Статья посвящена решению проблемы деструктивного влияния профессиональной деятельности сотрудников УИС на их личность, ярким выражением которого выступают такие феномены, как профессиональная деформация и эмоциональное выгорание сотрудников. Актуальность проблемы обусловливается, во-первых, обозначившейся тенденцией ухода сотрудников УИС из правоохранительных органов в целом и ведомства в частности; во-вторых, незначительным, но снижением качества выполнения сотрудниками УИС служебных обязанностей. В основе решения проблемы авторы видят психологический подход. С этой целью в начале исследования раскрыты причины возникновения профессиональной деформации и эмоционального выгорания, среди которых интенсивное общение с криминальной средой; повышенный риск, ожидание опасности; психические и физические нагрузки; повышенная ответственность; большой объем властных полномочий в условиях малоэффективного контроля; неукомплектованность кадров; смещение ценностных аспектов; дефекты развития ценностно-ориентационной, мотивационной, эмоционально-волевой сфер. Далее на основе анализа литературы, а также по результатам эмпирического исследования авторы выдвигают гипотезу о существующей корреляционной зависимости между эмоциональным выгоранием и показателями эмоционального интеллекта. На основе выводов, к которым приходят авторы в поисках путей профилактики профессиональной деформации и эмоционального выгорания, даются рекомендации, акцентирующие внимание на учете психологических особенностей личности при поведении профессионального отбора и развитии эмоционального интеллекта как фактора избегания синдрома эмоционального выгорания сотрудников УИС. The article is devoted to the solution of the problem of destructive influence of professional activity of employees on their personality, a vivid expression of which are such phenomena as professional deformation and emotional burnout of employees. The urgency of the problem is due to: first, the marked trend of departure of employees of the penal system from law enforcement agencies in General, and agencies, in particular; secondly, a slight, but a decrease in the quality of performance by employees of the penal system of professional activity. The authors analyze the psychological approach as the basis for solving the problem. In view of this, at the beginning of the study revealed the causes of professional deformation and emotional burnout, including: intensive communication with the criminal environment; increased risk, expectation of danger; mental and physical stress; increased responsibility; a large amount of power in conditions of ineffective control; understaffing; displacement of value aspects; defects in the development of value-orientation, motivational, emotional and volitional spheres. Further, based on the analysis of the literature, as well as on the results of empirical research, the authors conclude that there is a correlation between emotional burnout and indicators of emotional intelligence. On the basis of the conclusions to which authors come in search of ways of prevention of professional deformation and emotional burnout, recommendations, focuses on the account of psychological features of the person when the behavior of professional selection and development of emotional intelligence as a factor in the avoidance of burnout of employees of UIS.

Crime is the most common social problem faced in a developing country. Crime affects the reputation of a nation and the quality of life of its citizens. Crime also affects the economy of the country, increasing the financial burden of the government due to the need for expenditure in the police force and judicial system. Various initiatives are taken by law enforcement to reduce the crime rate. One such initiative, real-time accurate crime predictions can help reduce the occurrence of crime. In this paper, a crime analytics platform is developed, which processes newsfeed data analysis for different types of crimes and identify crime hotspots using Kernel Density Estimation method. This system enables criminologists to understand the hidden relationships between crime and geographical locations. Interactive visualization features are available that enable law enforcement agencies to predict crime.

Abstract Background Fingermarks can be found both in indoor and outdoor crime scenes. The latter could be subjected to various types of environmental insults. In many cases, criminals try to dispose of or conceal the evidence in several ways, such as throwing in the waterways or burying in the soil to avoid detection from the law enforcement agencies. Thus, crime scene investigators often face challenges to detect and develop latent fingermarks in such environments. This study aimed to investigate the persistence and ageing of latent fingermarks in a burial environment for particular periods. To date, there is a limited study that attempted to investigate the survivability of fingermarks in a burial environment. Methodology The experiment was carried out in two settings: preliminary and main experiments. A preliminary experiment was conducted indoor to determine the most effective chemical for fingermark development on buried metal substrates. Five different chemicals were employed to develop the latent fingermarks, namely fingermark powder dusting, small particle reagent (SPR), Sudan black, oil red O, and crystal violet. The main experiment was carried out to simulate the realistic situation in which the metal substrates bearing latent fingermarks were buried in the soil within 2 months period. In both experiments, the substrates were buried in peat soil at a depth of 10 cm from the surface. Results The results demonstrated that latent fingermarks could be effectively recovered after being buried in the soil up to 8 weeks using Sudan black. The position of the substrates whether underlying in “face up” or “face down” orientations when buried had also influenced the quality of the developed fingermarks. Fingermarks buried in the “face up” position demonstrated better quality and more ridge details as compared to those buried in the “face down” position. Secondary fingermarks were also observed in this study and found to be useful for identification and must be taken into consideration when developing fingermarks on buried items in forensic cases. Conclusion The development of fingermarks recovered from burial environments is feasible as excellent ridge characteristics can still be identified. Hence, any evidence recovered from burial sites should be examined for fingermarks and cannot be discounted.
