<p>Pelaksanaan desentralisasi merupakan kebijakan negara sebagai upaya mendekatkan pelayanan masyarakat dan kesejahteraan rakyat, menumbuhkan partisipasi masyarakat, serta good governance , ternyata berimplikasi negatif dengan menyuburnya korupsi di daerah. Untuk itu tulisan ini berusaha meneliti apa yang menyebabkan perilaku korupsi pada era desentralisasi serta bagaimana optimalisasi pemberantasan korupsi di tengah desentralisasi. Dengan menggunakan metode yuridis normatif disimpulkan bahwa penegak hukum di daerah tidak optimal dalam pemberantasan korupsi di wilayah hukumnya. Salah satunya adalah disebabkan keterbatasan jumlah penyidik KPK yang harus beroperasi di seluruh Indonesia. Perubahan Undang-Undang Nomor 32 Tahun 2004, yang diawali dengan diundangkannya Undang-Undang Nomor 6 Tahun 2014 tentang Desa, dan menyusul Perpu Nomor 1 Tahun 2014 tentang Pemilihan Gubernur, Bupati, dan Walikota, serta Undang-Undang Nomor 23 Tahun 2014 tentang Pemerintahan Daerah, dalam implementasinya diharapkan mampu mendinamisasikan serta meningkatkan derajat desentralisasi, dapat meminimalisir epidemi korupsi di daerah. Penguatan jajaran penegak hukum di daerah serta strategi represif merupakan upaya yang harus dikedepankan dalam optimalisasi pemberantasan korupsi.</p><p>The decentralization is a state policy to draw between public service and public welfare, emerging public participation and good governance, infact have negative implications for corruption at the local area increasingly. Therefore this paper try to examine what caused corruptive behaviour in the decentralization era as well as how to optimize corruption eradication in the decentralization era. Using normative juridis method, it can be concluded that the role of law enforcement officer in local area did not combat corruption within his jurisdiction optimally. It was caused by limited number of Corruption Eradication Commission’s investigators which cover all areas in Indonesia. The amendment of Law number 32 year 2004, begins with the enactment of Law Number 6 year 2014 regarding Village and immediately followed by Government Regulations in lieu of Laws Number 1 year 2014 regarding Election of Governor, Regent and Major and also Law Number 23 year 2014 regarding Amandment of Local Government, it was expected to dynamize and develop decentralization in implementation could decrease corruption epidemic in local area. Strengthening of local law enforcement officers and also repressive strategy are prioritized in optimizing the eradication of corruption.</p>

Is local law enforcement conducted differently based on the party in power? I offer an answer to this question by focusing on a case in which law enforcement is elected and has meaningful independent discretion: sheriff compliance with federal requests to detain unauthorized immigrants. Using a regression discontinuity design in a new dataset of over 3,200 partisan sheriff elections and administrative data on sheriff behavior, I find that Democrats and Republicans comply at nearly the same rate. These results contribute to ongoing research into the role that partisanship plays in local policy making, indicating that law enforcement officers make similar choices across party lines even when they have broad authority. I also present evidence that sheriffs hold more similar immigration enforcement views across party than the general public, highlighting the role of candidate entry and selection in determining the level of partisan polarization.

Criminal law and immigration law, once separate fields of governance in the United States, are rapidly growing less distinct. Immigration crimes now account for a majority of all federal prosecutions; deportation is widely seen as a key tool of crime control; immigration authorities run the nation’s largest prison system; and state and local law enforcement officers work hand-in-hand with federal immigration officials. This article traces these trends and assesses their significance. The rise of an intertwined regime of “crimmigration” law has generally been attributed to some combination of nativism, overcriminalization, and a cultural obsession with security, but it also exemplifies, and has helped to reinforce, a crucial and underappreciated development in U.S. legal culture—a rising tendency to treat legal rules and legal procedures as interchangeable tools, to be brought to bear pragmatically and instrumentally on an ad hoc basis. Ad hoc instrumentalism of this kind has genuine strengths, but it also raises significant concerns about the rule of law and political accountability. The accountability concerns, in particular, are exacerbated by two other features of our newly merged system of immigration enforcement and criminal justice: its bureaucratic opacity and its selective application.

The Church

A significant proportion of Church of England clergy in the early nineteenth century took up the role of magistrate to help enforce the law in local communities, partly in consequence of the growth of clerical wealth and status which had begun in the previous century. This legal role was perceived by some as contradictory to clerical pastoral duties, and as such detrimental to the church. Some would view it as contributing to a decline of the Church of England, which was seen as too much associated with the established powers in an era of social change. After the peak of the 1830s, the number of clerical magistrates began to fall dramatically, marking the emergence of a more exclusively religious clerical profession uneasy with the antagonisms associated with local law enforcement. This study, focusing on the diverse county of Staffordshire, presents the case that the decline of the clerical magistracy is an early indicator of the withdrawal of the clergy from involvement in secular concerns, and as such provides important evidence for the growth of secularization in British society.

Attitudes Toward Immigration

Local law enforcement has dramatically increased its cooperation with federal immigration enforcement, while other localities refuse to cooperate. Although scholars have examined how sanctuary cities may differ from other places in terms of crime rates, attitudes toward local law enforcement’s collaboration with federal immigration authorities remain understudied. We utilize original data from the 2016 Cooperative Congressional Election Survey (CCES) to study attitudes toward local/federal collaboration. Our results demonstrate that those who most recognize the racial advantage of Whites are significantly less likely to support collaboration between local police and federal authorities. Confirming prior work, our results also support the critical role of partisanship, nativity, and education in explaining attitudes toward sanctuary policies. Our findings have important implications for understanding attitudes toward immigration enforcement and policies.

Cybercrime has become one of the fastest-growing concerns for law enforcement agencies at the federal, state, and municipal levels. This qualitative case study examined the perceptions of nine law enforcement officers from Texas regarding combating cybercrime at the local level. The study focuses on how do law enforcement officers who respond to traditional crimes describe law enforcement agencies’ preparedness to fight cybercrime locally. Data collection consisted of semistructured interviews, where member-checking helped to enhance trustworthiness. The results from this study helped fill the gap in the literature regarding the unknown perceptions of law enforcement officers responding to cybercrimes at the local level. This study also focused on the behaviors of the participants regarding responding to cybercrimes. Participants indicated that law enforcement agencies take cybercrime seriously; however, cybercrimes are not a high priority for law enforcement at the local level. Participants also provided challenges that local law enforcement agencies face in cybercrime investigations locally.

Face masks have become the bulwark of COVID-19 prevention in the US.  Between 10 April and 1 August, 2020, 33 state governors issued orders requiring businesses to require their customers and employees to wear face masks, and persons outdoors who could not social distance  to do the same. We documented the policies and enforcement actions for these policies in each of the states.  We used governors’ orders and journalists’ news reports as our sources. Our results show that the states used a variety of state and local (county and municipality) agencies to enforce business prevention behaviors and primarily local  law enforcement agencies to enforce outside mask-wearing behaviours. In particular, law enforcement officers demonstrated a strong preference for educating non-mask wearers, and indicated a reluctance to resort to civil penalties that were enacted in the state orders.  Businesses expressed a preference to have government agencies enforce non-mask wearing behaviours.  But there was also a widespread reluctance on the part of local law enforcement  to resort to legal remedies.

AbstractDogmen are individuals who fight their pit bulls in matches against other pit bulls. This paper uses neutralization theory to examine the rationalizations of dogmen as they attempt to counter stigma and criminal identity in a world that is becoming increasingly intolerant of dogfighting. To maintain their rationalizations, the dogmen use four recurring techniques : (a) denial of injury;(b) condemnation of the condemners; (c) appeal to higher loyalties; and (d) a defense that says dogmen are good people (their deviance-dogfighting expunged by their good character). The authors conducted interviews with 31 individuals who fight and breed pit bulls and with significant others in the dogfighting enterprise, including Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) officials, veterinarians, and local law enforcement officers. The research also examined newspaper accounts of dogfighting. This article provides some insights into the social construction of reality of individuals who engage in an activity that most of us find reprehensible. As with any criminal/deviant behavior, understanding and subsequent solving of the problem begin with knowledge of the offender's perspective.

Police function in the state government system in the presence of police institutions is indispensable to the community. No community does not have a police institution. Police are tasked  with  maintaining  the security and public Order (Kamtibmas). In addition, police also acted as law enforcement officers. Police are part of the criminal justice system along with other law enforcement officers, namely prosecutors and courts. The important role of human resources of Gresik in improving public services is very important to improve the quality that is in accordance with the expectations of the community and  implemented  in  a unified  network that is simple, open  , smooth, precise, complete, reasonable, and affordable in accordance with the principles of public service.
