Penelitian ini dilakukan di Polrestabes  Makassar khususnya Unit Perlindungan Perempuan dan Anak. Tipe penelitian yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah tipe normatif. Teknik pengumpulan data berupa teknik penelitian lapangan yaitu dengan cara melakukan wawancara dengan Kanit PPA Polrestabes Makassar, Penyidik dan Ketua Lembaga Swadaya Masyarakat Solidaritas Perempuan Anging Mammiri, dan penelitian pustaka yaitu data diperoleh dari bahan bacaan seperti buku, jurnal dan literatur lain yang berkaitan dengan penelitian. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa penegakan hukum pada PPA Polrestabes Makassar tidak efektif, karena sanksi yang sangat ringan karena PPA Polrestabes Makassar sering keliru dalam menentukan pasal pada pelaku, sehingga pelaku bebas dari Undang-Undang Nomor 21 tahun 2007 tentang Pemberantasan Tidak Pidana Perdagangan Orang. Selain itu perilaku pelaku ingin melakukan suap terhadap aparat penegak hukum. Adapun faktor tidak efektifnya penegakan hukum adalah faktor sumber daya manusia yaitu kurangnya personil, faktor masyarakat karena kurangnya pengetahuan sehingga takut melakukan laporan, serta faktor sarana yaitu kurangnya anggaran. The purpose of this study was to determine and analyze the effectiveness of law enforcement on the practice of girl trafficking at the Metropolitan Police Station (Polrestabes) Makassar, and to identify and analyze the factors that hinder the ineffectiveness of law enforcement on the practice of girl trafficking at Polrestabes Makassar. This research was conducted at Polrestabes Makassar, especially the Women and Children Protection Unit. The type of research used in this study is the normative type. The data collection technique is by studying several literatures, books, articles and lecture materials obtained. The form of the interview is a data collection technique by conducting interviews with the Head of PPA Polrestabes Makassar, investigators and the Chair of the Women's Solidarity Institute, Anging Mammiri and asking for data. The results of this study indicate that law enforcement at the PPA Polrestabes Makassar has not been effective, because in 2018-2019 sanctions were not implemented by law enforcers, and law enforcers often made mistakes in imposing articles so that perpetrators were free from Law Number 21 of 2007 concerning the Eradication of Human Trafficking Criminal Acts. Besides, the perpetrators often want to bribe. The factors for the ineffectiveness of law enforcement are the human resource factor, namely the lack of personnel, the community factor due to lack of knowledge so they are afraid to report, and the facility factor is the lack of budget.

Despite a number of initiatives aimed at improving the representation and progressive of women in the law enforcement. Studies continue to document the persistence of gender inequality within law enforcement agencies all over the world and South Africa is not an exception. This article bring to light gender inequalities in the law enforcement sector where women in leadership ranks remains low. Historically, the police career was male-dominated and females were not allowed to work in the police. Therefore, equal gender representation in the workplace should by now be at an advanced developmental stage in South Africa since the abolition of discrimination rules. The Commission on Employment Equity of South Africa reported that women comprised 44.8% of the economically active population, yet males were still in charge of senior management positions in South African industries including the law enforcement environment. The data was collected from female officers from Metropolitan Police departments in Gauteng province. The findings suggest that culture, stereotypes, economic and socio-political dynamics, and physical fitness were perceived as barriers that hindered the representation of women into senior leadership positions.

Abstract This paper evaluates the effect on crime of creating a fundamental modern-day institution: centralized professional police forces tasked with preventing crime. We study the 1829 formation of the London Metropolitan Police – the first professional force worldwide. Using newly digitized and geocoded crime and police data together with difference-in-differences and pre-post designs, we find evidence of a significant reduction in violent crimes (despite the possibility of off-setting increases in clearance and reporting rates). In contrast, a reduction in property crime is not visible

This chapter details the deaths of the people who died in Ireland in 1920. Some of these people were victims of targeted killings by the Irish Republican Army (IRA). On January 1, 1920, William Charles Forbes Redmond was transferred to the Dublin Metropolitan Police (DMP) from the Royal Irish Constabulary (RIC) in Belfast, to rejuvenate the Criminal Investigation Department. The IRA learned that Redmond was staying in the Standard Hotel on Harcourt Street because secure quarters in Dublin Castle were not ready. Redmond was shot on January 21, 1920. Meanwhile, Constable Luke Finnegan of the RIC was believed to be drawing up a list of IRA suspects. Finnegan, unarmed, was shot near his home on January 22, 1920. In reprisal, police wrecked fourteen houses belonging to prominent Sinn Féiners.

The study aims at exploring the policing in preventing conflicts of managing economical wastes in the jurisdiction of BMPR Resort (BMPR). Such conflicts, occurring in Bekasi Industrial Area (BIA), have occurred since 1990. The conflicts are the phenomena of problems between community groups related to their economic interests in competing for economical resources coming from industrial wastes. The study aims to explore policing efforts in preventing such conflicts conducted by BMPR. The research employs qualitative approach. The results of the research reveal that such conflicts increase along with the development of BIA in 1990. Such conflicts have occurred since the community began to know the value of the industrial wastes and began fighting over the resources of the economical industrial wastes. Bekasi Metropolitan Police Resort—in preventing such conflicts—has put forward the function of Community Partnership (Binmas). However, the door to door system strategy in increasing the awareness and alertness of potential conflicts is still not optimal in preventing such conflicts. Therefore, BMPR needs to apply the concept of e-polmas (community policing) in preventing the conflicts so that prevention efforts can run optimally. Keywords: conflict, economical, policing, waste

Abstract It is practically impossible for police officers to do their jobs without biases or prejudices. Even when the office of the Police Constable does not allow it. The purpose of this paper is summed up in three headings: first, to highlight the extent of racism in the London Metropolitan Police for over three decades This is evidenced from several case studies of black police officer’s mistreatment in the London Police Service. Second, the effect of police culture as a breeding ground for racism in the police and third, providing an understanding of the trio concepts of prejudice, discrimination, and stereotype. The author relies on racial Postcolonial theories that have created and sustain a culture of racial superiority over the years. This is a qualitative study; the author relies on the reviewing of previous literature relating to the topic of police racism. Some of the findings are: it has proven very difficult to find a solution to racism so long as the racism in the wider British society has not been dealt with effectively enough to accommodate the constructed other. Police culture needs to be outlawed in the police service and racism needs to become a dismissible police unlawful act.
