Factors and Challenges Influencing the Criminologist Licensure Examination Performance through the Non-passers’ Lens

<p style="text-align: justify;">This study aimed to explore the perceived factors that influenced the success and challenges experienced when taking licensure examination among Bachelor of Science in Criminology graduates of a state university in the Philippines who failed in the Criminologist Licensure Examinations (CLE). Descriptive-correlational research design was utilized to analyze quantitative data, and Colaizzi’s descriptive phenomenology was used for the thematic analysis of qualitative data. The quantitative findings revealed that home and family factor has a high influence on the success in CLE, while student factor, school factor, review center factor, and personal factor have average influence. Further, ten clusters of themes emerged as factors that influence the success in CLE. Among them were interest and focus on the program, and availability of qualified and dedicated faculty. Among the themes that emerged as challenges were lack of preparedness for the exam because of one’s work, and personal and social pressures. There is a significant difference on the respondents’ perception towards the factors that influence the success in CLE when they are grouped according to sex. Regarding the challenges associated with preparing for and taking the CLE, a significant difference is only observed when respondents are grouped according to their civil status. Generally, married respondents have higher weighted means than the single ones. This implies that the identified challenges affected married respondents more than the single ones. These results can be used to make policies and initiate programs that would enhance graduates’ success in the exam by providing appropriate interventions and early remediations.</p>

Determining the level of effectiveness in exchange programs has become increasingly more important to evaluators. Likewise, bilateral connectivity between the host country’s people & institutions and the exchange student have benefitted from recent recommendations of comprehensive evaluations. However, the homestay family factor of the exchange experience lags in this area. In that regard, exchange programs could improve significantly from a broader and deeper understanding of the homestay experience, as seen from the host’s perspective. In fact, citizen diplomacy is alive and active in the host’s homes.

From the aptitude of the host family to their level of community engagement, several elements are key to an ambiance where the exchange student can better adapt, learn, interact, feel, think, express ideas, learn about customs and community, familiarize with the language, and overall enhance their experience, hence their opinion about their host country.

EFEKTIVITAS DAN FAKTOR PENGHAMBAT DALAM PELAKSANAAN PATUH HUKUM TENTANG HAK DARI ODGJ

The purpose of the study to see Indonesia as a legal state by article 1 verse (3) the constitution of 1945, each citizen has the right to legal protection, every citizen has the right to a decent job and livelihood, each citizen has the same position in the eyes of the law and in government. In reality, however, there are still obstructing freedom for others, as is the case with a mental person in the stocks, alien to the environment, and even for years. It is reasoned that the economy is minimal, the needs are large, and not only the mentally ill need the expense but there are other families to care for. So, the disturbed ones only felt the agony of being locked up in a room that had no residents, they threw people into a state of isolation. This sort of reasoning is often raised from related relatives: economic reasons, but some still try to cure them and hope that if treatment fails to cure crazy families, then most people reimprison them and supply them because the cost is depleted but have no healing effect on mentally ill families. Knowledge scarce in remote rural areas where government assistance for the poor makes it impossible for a person to ignore the rights of the mentally ill, when families release the mentally ill from the supply so that the family has satisfied the right of the mentally ill to live free but even if the right to live freely is granted, But the right to get food and other necessities is left unmet because disturbed people will wander away from the family's view, and if anything can endanger the safety of others then the family cannot go to charity because far from its stabilization, it can also affect the family's efforts to put the ODGJ in stock.Keywords: family factor; human rights: ODGJAbstrakTujuan penelitian untuk mengetahui terkait Indonesia sebagai negara hukum dilihat dari Pasal 1 Ayat (3) UUD 1945, Setiap warga negara berhak mendapatkan perlindungan hukum, Setiap warga negara berhak atas pekerjaan dan penghidupan yang layak, Setiap warga negara memiliki kedudukan yang sama di mata hukum dan di dalam pemerintahan. Namun, pada kenyataannya masih ada yang menghalangi kebebasan bagi orang lain seperti halnya seorang yang dalam gangguan jiwa di pasung, diasing kan dari lingkungan sekitar, dan bahkan hingga bertahun-tahun. Dengan alasan bahwa perekonomian yang minimal, kebutuhan banyak, dan bukan hanya orang dalam gangguan jiwa saja yang membutuhkan biaya tetapi, ada keluarga yang lain yang harus diperhatikan. Sehingga, yang mengalami gangguan jiwa hanya merasakan penderitaan di kurung dalam ruangan yang tanpa penghuni, mereka mengasingkan orang dalam gangguan jiwa. Alasan seperti ini yang sering terlontarkan dari kerabat keluarga yang terkait yaitu alasan perekonomian, namun masih ada yang berusaha mengobatinya dan menaruhkan harapan bahwa dengan pengobatan maka bisa sembuh, tetapi apabila pengobatan itu tidak memberikan kesembuhan bagi keluarga yang gila, maka kebanyakan seseorang mengurungnya kembali serta memasungnya dikarenakan biaya sudah habis tetapi tidak memberikan efek kesembuhan dari keluarga yang mengalami gangguan jiwa. pengetahuan yang minim di kawasan desa terpencil yang sulit mengetahui bantuan dari pemerintah untuk rakyat miskin membuat seseorang mengabaikan hak dari penderita gangguan jiwa, ketika keluarga membebaskan penderita gangguan jiwa dari pemasungan maka keluarga telah memenuhi hak penderita gangguan jiwa untuk hidup bebas tetapi meskipun hak untuk hidup dengan bebasnya sudah terlaksanakan, namun hak untuk mendapatkan makanan dan kebutuhan lainnya tidak terpenuhi dikarena penderita gangguan jiwa akan berkeluyuran, sehingga jauh dari pantauan keluarga, dan apabila terjadi sesuatu hal yang dapat membahayakan bagi keselamatan orang lain maka keluarga tidak bisa menghindari itu di karenakan jauh dari pemantauannya, hal itu yang menjadi alasan lain selain dalam segi biaya, dalam segi keselamatan juga dapat mempengaruhi iktikad keluarga untuk memasung ODGJ.
