TEXT MINING APPLICATIONS TO FACILITATE ECONOMIC AND FOOD SAFETY LAW ENFORCEMENT

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to develop a methodology for knowledge discovery in emergency response service databases based on police occurrence reports, generating information to help law enforcement agencies plan actions to investigate and combat criminal activities. Design/methodology/approach The developed model employs a methodology for knowledge discovery involving text mining techniques and uses latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA) with collapsed Gibbs sampling to obtain topics related to crime. Findings The method used in this study enabled identification of the most common crimes that occurred in the period from 1 January to 31 December of 2016. An analysis of the identified topics reaffirmed that crimes do not occur in a linear manner in a given locality. In this study, 40 per cent of the crimes identified in integrated public safety area 5, or AISP 5 (the historic centre of the city of RJ), had no correlation with AISP 19 (Copacabana – RJ), and 33 per cent of the crimes in AISP 19 were not identified in AISP 5. Research limitations/implications The collected data represent the social dynamics of neighbourhoods in the central and southern zones of the city of Rio de Janeiro during the specific period from January 2013 to December 2016. This limitation implies that the results cannot be generalised to areas with different characteristics. Practical implications The developed methodology contributes in a complementary manner to the identification of criminal practices and their characteristics based on police occurrence reports stored in emergency response databases. The generated knowledge enables law enforcement experts to assess, reformulate and construct differentiated strategies for combating crimes in a given locality. Social implications The production of knowledge from the emergency service database contributes to the government integrating information with other databases, thus enabling the improvement of strategies to combat local crime. The proposed model contributes to research on big data, on the innovation aspect and on decision support, for it breaks with a paradigm of analysis of criminal information. Originality/value The originality of the study lies in the integration of text mining techniques and LDA to detect crimes in a given locality on the basis of the criminal occurrence reports stored in emergency response service databases.

The problems described in this study is law enforcement against bottled drinking water business actors not equipped with marketing permits to maintain food security and what factors are obstacles to law enforcement against bottled drinking water business operators that are not equipped with marketing permits in order to maintain food safety. This type of research is normative legal research that is moved from the absence of legal norms or legal principles. The absence of legal norms in this study is contained in the provisions of Law No. 8 of 1999 concerning Consumer Protection which does not explicitly regulate bottled drinking water business actors that are not equipped with a marketing authorization to maintain food safety. This study uses a statutory approach and a case approach. The conclusion of this study is the law enforcement against bottled drinking water business actors that are not equipped with a marketing permit to maintain food security, namely by confiscating and destroying bottled drinking water without a distribution permit in maintaining food security based on statutory regulations namely Law Number 18 Year 2012 concerning Food, besides that, administrative sanctions are also given, namely warning letters and statements to bottled water companies that have not yet completed distribution licenses. Inhibiting factors in law enforcement against bottled drinking water business actors that are not equipped with marketing permits to maintain food safety are bottled drinking water companies that are unwilling to be inspected, implementation of supervision conducted by the Central Agency for Drug and Food Supervision, lack of supervisory personnel from the Food and Drug Supervisor, consumers do not understand the rights and obligations as consumers and retailers or retailers of bottled drinking water products are less responsible for their obligations. Keywords : Business actors in bottled drinking water, consumer protection, distribution permit.

ENGLISHSeveral studies founded the usage of hazardous materials for food additives in many parts of Indonesia. Stakeholders especially The Government already implemented policies to against the abuse of hazardous food additives like the enactment of food regulations and food safety promotions. Many factors cause many people still using and distributing hazardous food additives (e.g. economic factors, knowledge and law enforcement). This paper provides an overview of types hazardous food additives and the negative impacts of consuming the additives on health emphasizing in the most popular of hazardous food additives namely formalin, borax and rhodamine B. In general, consuming the additives causes long-term health problems like cancer. However, consuming the additives in high dosage will make the consumers experiencing chronic poisoning and even causing death. Campaigns regarding food safety followed by law enforcement are very important actions to be done to eliminate the abuse of hazardous food additives. INDONESIABeberapa studi menunjukkan banyaknya penggunaan bahan yang berbahaya dan dilarang untuk digunakan sebagai bahan tambahan pangan. Pihak terkait khususnya pemerintah telah mengimplementasikan kebijakan untuk menekan penyalahgunaan BTP antara lain dengan pemberlakuan peraturan dan sosialisasi mengenai BTP. Beberapa faktor menjadi penyebab masih maraknya penggunaan BTP berbahaya antara lain faktor ekonomi, pengetahuan dan penegakan hukum. Ulasan ini akan memaparkan mengenai jenis BTP berbahaya yang sering digunakan dan dampak yang ditimbulkan akibat mengkonsumsi BTP tersebut bagi kesehatan dengan menekankan pada 3 jenis bahan terlarang yang paling sering digunakan sebagai BTP yaitu formalin, boraks dan Rhodamin B. Secara umum, mengkonsumsi BTP berbahaya akan memberikan dampak buruk bagi kesehatan dalam jangka panjang misalnya kanker. Namun, konsumsi BTP berbahaya dengan dosis yang tinggi dapat menyebabkan efek negatif langsung pada kesehatan misalnya keracunan bahkan kematian. Sosialisasi diikuti dengan penegakan hukum perlu terus dilakukan untuk mengatasi penyalahgunaan BTP berbahaya.

Detailed List

Particle analysis by scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive x- ray analysis is one of the current methods used in crime laboratories to aid law enforcement in identifying individuals who have recently fired or handled a firearm. During the discharge of a firearm, the high pressure caused by the detonation of the cartridge materials forces a portion of the generated gases through leaks in the firing mechanism of the weapon. These gases contain residues of smokeless powder, primer mixture, and contributions from the projectile itself. The condensation of these hot gases form discrete, micrometer-sized particles, which can be collected, along with dry skin cells, salts, and other hand debris, from the hands of a shooter by a simple adhesive lift technique. The examination of the carbon-coated adhesive lifts consist of time consuming systematic searches for high contrast particles of spherical morphology with the characteristic elemental composition of antimony, barium and lead. A detailed list of the elemental compositions which match the criteria for gunshot residue are discussed in the Aerospace report.
