Comparison of Defence Arts by Country in Law Enforcement Education

Law Enforcement Defence and Intervention Techniques (LEDIT) are the methods of defence and intervention applied to suspects, criminals, and individuals who threaten security and public order, by the authority granted by law to the gendarmerie personnel who have the duty of security, public order, and safety. The aim of this study is to analyse the martial arts used by law enforcement officers by country. In this study, which was designed for a descriptive purpose, the data were obtained from the websites of the Police and Gendarmerie Forces, from the replies to the defence techniques information request letter written to the embassies, and from the theses and articles published in the relevant field, by using the scanning method. According to the data obtained, it has been observed that many countries use more than one defence technique. As a result, all countries in the world either created their own fighting styles for close-range combat or took them from other countries and blended them within their own styles. The study group of the research consists of the police forces of 22 countries, including Turkey, and 6 countries affiliated to the International Gendarmerie and Law Enforcement Forces with Military Status (FIEP).

Strategy of Strengthening Corruption Prevention and Enforcement through Social Punishment: A Sociological Study

Corruption is an extraordinary crime that can threaten the survival of many people's lives. Therefore, the existence of corruption must be prevented and eradicated at its roots. Corruption occurs through complex factors, not only caused by structural but also cultural factors. Therefore, the eradication of corruption is not enough in the structural measures such as punishment, but need to extendto other penalties such as social sanction. This study is a descriptive qualitative study with library techniques. The theoretical perspective used in this study is the theory of sociology of corruption; social control theory. In general, the findings of this study include an explanation of the dynamics of corruption in Indonesia, as well as the role and strategic function of social punishment for eradicating corruption in Indonesia. Sociologically, the role and strategic function of social punishment in an effort to maximize the eradication of corruption can be done by building synergy between all social structures of society. The social structure in question is the family, tradition, law enforcement, education, and religious institutions.

PENGARUH KOMPOSISI JENIS PAKAN YANG BERBEDA TERHADAP PERTUMBUHAN TUKIK PENYU SISIK (Eretmochelys imbricata) DI PENETASAN SEMI-ALAMI PENYU TAMAN NASIONAL KARIMUNJAWA (The Effect of Different Feeding Composition on Growth of Baby Hawksbills Turtle (Eretmochelys imbricata) in Semi-Natural Hatching Den in Karimunjawa National Park)

Populasi alamiah penyu di Indonesia terus menurun 20 - 30% per tahun terutama lebih disebabkan oleh faktor manusia dibandingkan dengan faktor alam dan predator. Beberapa di antara teknik penyelamatan untuk pelestarian penyu antara lain melalui penetasan di sarang semi-alami, perlindungan translokasi habitat (konservasi in-situ), penegakan hukum, penyuluhan dan pemberdayaan masyarakat sekitar. Di sarang semi-alami jenis pakan yang tepat pada saat pemeliharaan awal tukik sebelum dilepas ke laut akan mempengaruhi kelulus-hidupan mereka. Padahal, sampai saat ini jenis pakan yang tepat untuk tukik belum banyak diketahui. Penelitian ini menggunakan tiga 3 perlakuan pakan (Sardinella lemuru 100%; Sargassum filipendula 100%; campuran S. lemuru dan S. filipendula 50:50%), analisis data enggunakan Rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL) dengan 3 pengulangan. Secara statistik, diketahui bahwa tiap perlakuan pakan menghasilkan perbedaan pada variabel panjang, lebar karapas dan bobot tukik. Berdasarkan analisis alometri tukik E.imbricata selama penelitian, dihasilkan konstanta b < b antar perlakuan yang menunjukkan bahwa pertumbuhan bersifat alometri negatif pada variabel panjang karapas dan bobot tubuh serta panjang dan lebar karapas; kecuali pada hubungan panjang dan lebar karapas tukik dengan pakan S. lemuru. The population of sea turtles in Indonesia continued to decrease by 20-30% each year. The decline in natural turtle populations is caused mainly by human factors rather than natural factors and predator. Among others, rescue and preservation of turtles can be accomplished through rearing in a semi-natural den, protection of the habitat translocation (in-situ conservation), law enforcement, education and empowerment of local communities. The proper type of feed for the hatchlings to provide information on required nutrient in optimizing the growth has not been known until now. The methods used in this study was an experimental method apllying Complete Randomised Design with three feeding treatments (100% S. lemuru; 100% Sargassum filipendula; 50:50% mixed of S. lemuru and S. filipendula). The results showed that carapace length, carapace width and body weight differed statistically (P<0.05) in every feed treatment. Hatchlings showed negative allometric (b < ) in carapace length to weight as also carapace length to its width. Isometry in carapace length and width is only shown by hatchlings fed with S. lemuru

National Human Trafficking Initiatives: Dimensions of Policy Diffusion

The implementation of criminal law involves formal law enforcement, education, and public outreach aimed at preventing criminal activity and providing services for victims. Historically, quantitative research on global trends has focused on a single policy dimension, potentially masking the unique factors that affect the diffusion of each policy dimension independently. Using an ordered‐probit model to analyze new human trafficking policy data on national prosecution, prevention, and victim‐protection efforts, we find that global ties and domestic interest groups matter more where international law is less defined. Although prosecution, mandated by the Trafficking Protocol, was relatively impervious to global ties and domestic interest groups, both trafficking prevention and victim protection were associated with these factors. Our findings also suggest that fear of repercussions is not a major driver of state actions to combat trafficking—neither ratification of the protocol nor levels of US aid were associated with greater implementation of antitrafficking measures.

E-Government Services Framework

E-government generally refers to the delivery of national or local government information and services via the Internet or other digital means (Relyea, 2002). E-government refers to the ability of government to interact electronically with citizens, businesses, and other governmental entities. The interaction may be in the form of obtaining information, filings, or making payments, and a host of other activities via the World Wide Web (Abramson & Means, 2001; Bertucci, 2003; Sharma, 2004; Sharma & Gupta, 2002). The benefits of e-government usually include improved: quality of citizen services, internal efficiencies, law enforcement, education and information, promotion and outreach activities, safety and security, health care services and management, and involvement of citizens in the democratic process. Many believe that e-government can provide seamless services to draw agencies together, leading to more citizen-centric services (Grönlund, 2002; Gurstein, 2000; Venkatachalam, Shore, & Sharma, 2003). Many countries have decided to employ information and communication technologies (ICTs) to enhance delivery of government services to their citizens, and are thus at various stages of e-government implementation (Ho, 2002; Holliday, 2002; Layne & Lee, 2001; Netchaeva, 2002; United Nations & American Society for Public Administration, 2002; Sharma, 2004; Sharma & Gupta, 2002, 2003; Taylor, 2002). After examining studies conducted by various researchers on e-government models and frameworks, this article presents a holistic approach to create an e-government framework.
