The Romanian Superior Council of Magistracy (RSCM) has failed to provide stability as an active form of involvement to defend the judicial officers against acts that injures their independenc, impartiality, and professional reputation. The disrespect towards the juidical officers through the media have not motivated the RSM to take any actions. This is not aligned with their responsibility to clarify any miss-leading information. The RSCM has yet to overcome the flawed integrity of the judiciary system.

The article is dedicated to the 30th anniversary of the Russian Mass Media Law, adopted on December 27, 1991. This Law is proposed to be considered as innovative, which laid the foundation for a number of innovations in national legal science and legislative practice. Among these innovations are: the author’s nature of drafting, consolidation of the thesaurus of the Law in a separate article of the Law, the establishment of a cumulative liability mechanism, etc. Over the next three decades, the Law has undergone numerous changes that have predetermined law enforcement practice. The article analyzes the trends of the ongoing transformation: the expansion of the concept of abuse of freedom of the media, expansion of diversity of types of mass media, etc. As part of considering the future prospects of the Law, the need is revealed to bring it into terminological compliance with the Constitution of the Russian Federation, the Civil and other codes, to eliminate legal and logical defects formed in the process of its creation and subsequent adjustment. The necessity of the Law transformation into the Mass Communications Law is substantiated.

Criminology and criminal-psychology are sciences dealing mostly with the personality of the criminals as well as the interconnections of crime and deviance. The other player of the crimes – the victim - has recently come into focus posing the question why and how somebody is becoming a victim, and what effect can the victim have when the crime is being committed. The first international publications appeared at the beginning of the third millennium on so-called victims who are convinced to suffer from material, moral or other damages and, accordingly, who would pursue “justice” at any rate. They often appeal against decisions. Considering these facts the procedures are rather thorough and circumspect. A significant part of the law-enforcement staff is heavily involved for long periods. On the other side there is the person considered criminal being actually the real victim. These people are getting alienated from the society because of their reckoned deeds and, because of the distorting influence of the media they are condemned morally. The present study describes the syndromes of fake-victim, their occurrence as well as psychiatric considerations, social appearance and impact. Authors are drawing attention to the medical-legal existence of the problem as well as its existence. Orv. Hetil., 2011, 152, 559–568..

В настоящее время авторитет сотрудников органов внутренних дел в обществе невысок. В связи с этим существует реальная потребность в исследовании путей создания положительного образа правоохранителей. В статье уделено внимание исследованию психологических особенностей, влияющих на формирование социально одобряемого образа сотрудников полиции. В ходе исследования были использованы такие методы, как контент-анализ сообщений со средств массовой информации, сравнительный анализ наработок по изучаемой проблеме, групповые беседы, анкетирование, психодиагностическое исследование курсантов и слушателей. Важным аспектом формирования положительного имиджа сотрудников органов внутренних дел является изучение их мотивационно-ценностной сферы. Именно положительная профессиональная направленность и мотивация профессиональной деятельности будут способствовать развитию всех необходимых качеств, отображенных в профессиограмме правоохранителей. Внутренняя мотивация определяет желание самосовершенствоваться, стремление к личностному и профессиональному развитию, предполагает высокую нравственность и законопослушность, а это, в свою очередь, непосредственно отражается на внешне воспринимаемом облике стражей закона. Также на основе результатов исследования разработаны предложения по формированию положительного имиджа сотрудников полиции, касающиеся работы с кадровым потенциалом. Currently, the public does not appreciate the image of employees of internal affairs agencies. In this regard, there is a real need to study ways of creating a positive image of law enforcement officials. The article focuses on the study of psychological features affecting the formation of a socially approved image of police officers. In the course of the study such methods as content analysis of messages from the media, a comparative analysis of developments on the problem under consideration, group conversations, questionnaires, and psychodiagnostic research of cadets and students were used. An important aspect of the formation of a positive image of employees of internal affairs agencies is the study of their motivational and semantic sphere. It is a positive professional orientation and motivation of professional activity that will contribute to the development of all the necessary qualities displayed in the law enforcement professiogram. Intrinsic motivation determines the desire for self-improvement, the desire for personal and professional development, involves high morality and law-abidingness, and this, in turn, is directly reflected in the outwardly perceived guards of the law. In addition, based on the results of the study, proposals to create a positive image of police officers regarding work with human resources were developed.

The phenomenon of copycat crime, especially copycat murder, is nothing new. One would think that, because it has been around for so long, somehow the problem would have been addressed. Unfortunately, that is not the case, as we continue to see important details of horrible and violent crimes being reported by mass media without reflection on, or consideration of, how this type of information could be used by some in planning their own crimes, imitating the crime reported. This article discusses both the media and the law enforcement aspect of the copycat problem and concludes with the authors’ own recommendations. It is essential that both mass media and police make important changes in their approach to releasing information about crime to the public. It is naïve to believe that only law-abiding people are consumers of mass media, or that important details about the commission of violent crimes that are reported by media are never going to be used by anybody for an illegal purpose.

This article provides an initial report on oral histories being collected from three surviving Branch Davidians: Bonnie Haldeman, the mother of David Koresh, Clive Doyle, and Sheila Martin. Their accounts are being made into autobiographies. Interviews with a fourth survivor, Catherine Matteson, are being prepared for deposit in an archive and inform the material gathered from Bonnie Haldeman, Clive Doyle, and Sheila Martin. Oral histories provided by these survivors humanize the Branch Davidians, who were dehumanized and erased in 1993 by the application of the pejorative ‘cult’ stereotype by the media and American law enforcement agents. These Branch Davidian accounts provide alternate narratives of what happened in 1993 at Mount Carmel Center outside Waco, Texas, to those provided by American federal agents, and flesh out the human dimensions of the community and the tragedy. Branch Davidians are differentiated from many other people primarily by their strong commitment to doing God's will as they understand it from the Bible. Otherwise they are ordinary, intelligent people with the same emotions, loves, and foibles as others.

Cash waqf in Indonesia has been long enough implemented based on some rules enacted by government and other rules defined by The Waqf Board of Indonesia (BWI). However, the implementation of cash waqf has not reached the level of success. Therefore, this article studies the application of cash waqf law in Indonesia according to Friedman’s legal system theory. The legal system theory of Friedman firstly looks at the substance of the law, which is the rules or regulations; and secondly it examines the structure of the law, encompassing the law enforcement agencies, such as judge, prosecutor, police and legal counselors. And lastly the theory examines the element of legal culture, which is a response from Muslim society. The first two examinations indicate that there is nothing to be a problem. But from the last examination there is a problem regarding the trust from Muslim society. From the legal culture point of view, the implementation of cash waqf by the government, which is performed by BWI, needs attracting society’s credentials in order to improve and maximize the performance of cash waqf in Indonesia.
