AbstractThis article examines the manner in which the recent collection D.C. Noir sets out to illuminate the dark urban corners of the so-called “Capital of the World.” I will look at how the neighborhood-based short stories in this collection reveal the urban underbelly of the American nation’s capital, its seedy underworld, the dark side of domestic life and murkiness of family ties, the racialized practices and institutionalized corruption plaguing the great American city. I argue that, through the collective voices of its residents, these stories offer precious insights into life as lived in the various corners of Washington, D.C., and bring to the fore a world populated not only by outcasts and the disenfranchised, but also by law enforcement officers, politicians, and high-profile representatives, similarly acting under the constraints of a dysfunctional city.

This article engages with the spatial turn in the analyses of and activism against political violence. It does so through an ethnography of memory activism around an arson attack in Turkey, which took place in 1993 in the central-eastern city of Sivas before live TV cameras and thousands of onlookers, including law enforcement officers. The attack killed 33 guests of a culture festival organized by an association representing Alevism, one of Turkey’s demographically minor faiths. A prevalent approach to remembering the arson attack has hinged on mobilizing testimony’s cognates witnessing and martyrdom as spatial mechanisms, drawing on the site of the arson attack and/or its widely televised images. This mobilization has followed its contemporaries from around the world in that it has considered violence’s effects on the subjectivity of its spatial witnesses reducible to unambiguous subject positions adopted in discrete historical moments, using the affective trope of shame to rigidify and hierarchize this positionality. In-depth conversations with, and observations among, memory activists discussed in this article, however, indicate two reasons why this consideration might be limited. First, the mutual impact between activists’ subjectivity and each in-person or visually mediated encounter they have had with the site of the arson attack has taken shape in entanglement with rather than in isolation from other such encounters. Second, the historical moments featuring in these encounters are also manifold rather than singular. The article argues that the politics of spatial testimony hinges on this manifoldness and entanglement.

Children are the next generation of the nation, the existence of children is very important because the child is a potential fate of the nation as well as a mirror attitude of life of the nation in the future. A child who is a superior seed and has the widest hope to prepare for his future as a milestone of success of a nation in the future should not fall in the world of evil. It is unfortunate that children at an early age have been involved in criminal offenses and past their youth behind bars, increasingly contaminated with other inmates. This research was empirical legal research, that is the research on the provisions of the legislation in the national law concerning restorative approach in the imposition of action sanctions against children in conflict with law in order to keep children away from imprisonment and negative stigma in society . Addressing the issue of a child in conflict with the law should be done in a familial approach and avoiding children from prison as much as possible. The sanction of action for the child contained in Article 82 of Law Number 11 of 2012 on Criminal Justice System for Children expected to prevent the child from the negative stigma in society and keep the children from bad effects of prison. Thus the current restorative model of punishment is more applicable in handling child offenders. It is expected that law enforcement officers to pay attention to the provisions of the rules that apply to children in conflict with the law in terms of imposition of more sanctions toward education and character development of children so that the threat of imprisonment becomes the last alternative in imposing sanctions for children

This article describes how the Dark Web is usually considered the dark side of the World Wide Web. Cyber criminals usually use specialized tools, e.g. TOR, to access the hidden services inside the Dark Web anonymously. Law enforcement officers have difficulty tracing the identity of these cyber criminals using traditional network investigation techniques that are based on IP addresses. The information available in the Dark Web, which includes BitCoin wallets, email addresses, hyperlinks, images and user behavior profiles, can be used for further analysis, such as a correlation analysis. Present within this artcile is a threat intelligence analysis framework to help analyze the crimes and criminals in the Dark Web and the framework is realized by the implementation of the Dark Web Threat Intelligence Analysis (DWTIA) Platform.

Violence against police is a statistically rare event, usually resulting in minor injuries for officers. However, based on the frequency with which police interact with the public, even those statistically small events can result in hundreds of police deaths and tens of thousands of assaults on police each year. The topic of violence against the police has been studied extensively starting in the 1970s, following public concern about the rising levels of violence leveled at police. This concern hastened the creation of the annual publication of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) annual publication, Law Enforcement Officers Killed and Assaulted, commonly referred to as LEOKA. The creation of the LEOKA report prompted the empirical study of violence against police, but research using varied data sources, including the National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS) and the Officer Down Memorial Page has also expanded our knowledge of the predictors of police assaults, injuries, and deaths. What we know today is that there is a variety of community, organizational, and situational/incident level correlates that impact police officer assaults and deaths. Over time, studying these factors has led to policies and practices that have contributed to the eventual reduction of officer injury and death associated with violence against the police. However, amidst several high-profile violent encounters between police and the public, scholars are exploring the claims of a war against police, testing the hypothesis that violence against the police may be on the rise.

Mansfield and the world of the Ballets Russes, is the focus of this discussion of the importance of movement and dance for her writing and life. Incorporating aspects of Russian dance, especially its expressiveness, gesture and experimentation, into her prose becomes an important feature of her writing marked in part by the physical actions of her characters. Balancing the Chekhovian dispassion of her short stories was a vitality located in her incorporation of elements of the Ballets Russes which became, for a period, the intellectual and fashionable centre of London. Part of their originality was collaboration with dancers and choreographers working with set designers and musicians. The Ballets Russes also confirmed her own artistic efforts to unite novelty and tribalism, especially in her New Zealand stories. Her co-editing Rhythm became another venue for her support of the innovative work produced by Diaghilev, choreographed by Massine, costumed by Léon Bakst and highlighted by sets designed by Cocteau and Picasso. Sharing the impact of the Ballets Russes with high profile admirers, Mansfield applied their originality to her own efforts recognising that their overall impact was not technique alone but the expression of technique into idea as the Times wrote in June 1911.

The Impact

The challenges of law enforcement in eradicating corruption are among others: the lack of trust in law enforcement officers; Examination of corruption cases in court by judges prioritizes the fulfillment of formal legal actions. The absence of a judge's decision which is a symbol of firmness in combating corruption: awareness of the impact of corruption is still too abstract and poorly understood by the community; The war on corruption is still merely a political discourse or entertainment for the people; the absence or lack of opportunities to participate in eradicating corruption is the reason why people do not care or are concerned about eradicating corruption. Besides the inherent habit that bahwa if all want to be fast, money is the solution ’and culture that is‘ nrimo ’or does not want to question all matters related to the administration of the state, as if it is an element of fertilization. Opportunities for law enforcement in eradicating corruption include: Issuance of Law No. 31 of 1999 concerning Eradication of Corruption Crime; the growth of the Corruption Perception Index (CPI) in Indonesia is the highest compared to other countries in the world; national concerns about corruption can stimulate governments and anti-corruption activists to campaign extensively with high intensity; The press has become a powerful media for raising public awareness of the effects of corruption
