Dekker and Meijer provide an account of how European law-enforcement professionals negotiate the boundaries between accepted and unsanctioned online engagements among digital media audiences. These developments are largely made meaningful by notions of community policing, in which local context and collaboration with the authorities are pivotal factors. Established principles of police work are troubled by what is easily available to digital media users. By raising questions of legality and acceptability, these practices reopen debates about the role of citizens in policing, as well as the demands for police accountability that underpin vigilant engagements (Johnston, 1996).

Media agencies have become one of the key actors in the contemporary media industry: by channelling marketing budgets to some media and some platforms and not to others, media agencies play an important role in creating the digital media infrastructure and laying the tracks of the public sphere. Yet we know very little about these commercial middlemen between advertisers and audiences, what they do, and how we should understand their role in the digital media ecology. This article discusses the role of media agencies in relation to platformization with a focus on the news media sector. Based on interviews, publicly available material and trade journals, the article depicts an industry deeply engaged in digitizing, tracking and commodifying media audiences, while at the same time aware of ethical challenges of the digital media infrastructure. This leads to a call for more political attention and critical research on the democratic implications of the new value chains between platforms, advertisers, audiences, media agencies and news media as well as the many tech companies providing derived digital services and products.

AbstractThere are three core functions of the police, law enforcement, order maintenance, and services to the community or public services. One part of the law enforcement function is preventing and overcoming traffic violations. Traffic accidents have a large and detrimental impact, and this is one from many indicator of the success of the police. Traffic accidents are often caused by drivers who does not obeying the rules, so they endanger themselves or others. In addition to violations by drivers, other things that become the factors occurrence of traffic accidents are road quality, human error, and vehicle worthiness.The purpose of this study was to determine the direction of community policing policies in dealing with traffic violations, and efforts to develop community policing models by paying attention to public participation and the role of the police in preventing traffic violations.The results obtained show that significant factors that caused the occurrence of high accidents per population were factors related to drivers or human factors, where the dominant violation was a violation of the speed limit. By knowing that the main factor of accidents is the human element, the policies taken to overcome this are policies related to humans, namely community policing.Keywords: Police Community, Traffic Violations, Traffic Accidents

Working Practices

Community policing continues to enjoy much favour as a principal alternative to traditional, law-enforcement-oriented policing. A large body of research suggests, however, that it confronts a range of organisational obstacles. These obstacles arise largely from the endurance of an organisational form developed to support a law-enforcement-oriented approach, and which has engendered both working practices and an occupational culture inhospitable to the pursuit of community policing. Drawing on field research in the London Metropolitan Police and Surrey police forces, the paper identifies key obstacles to the delivery of community policing. It also indicates some of the conditions under which successful community policing can be achieved. These entail both changes in the organisational environment in which community policing is placed, and changes in prevailing conceptions of the nature and role of community policing. In particular, it is argued that community policing needs to move emphatically away from approaches based on community building and ‘outreach’, and towards a construction of community policing based firmly on its role in crime control.

The COVID-19 pandemic began in 2019, spread to the rest of the world in 2020 and still holds nations in its grip in 2021. There is scant research on the way it has affected Holocaust awareness. Based on scholarly work on Holocaust awareness in Israel, the top-down memory of the Holocaust in the media and the vernacular Holocaust memory on social media, this article analyzes the ways the Holocaust became a frame of reference in Israel for the interpretation of the COVID-19 pandemic and the newest link in a long chain of using the Holocaust as a prism for other topics in Israeli society. The article centers on the evolution of the COVID-19 – Holocaust references and the role of media and social media in it. It shows that the initial panic created a wave of comparisons between the Holocaust and the pandemic in the media and social media. In the second half of the year, as the restrictions and two more lockdowns became part of life, references to the Holocaust changed – negative reactions to COVID-19 government regulations and law enforcement were compared on social media to Nazi acts. The Israeli media did not create these comparisons but reported them widely and contributed to their circulation.
