How do communities control crime, and what does this tell us about the problem of negotiating order at the local level? This article will draw on empirical research in two US cities to illustrate how social controls at the local level are negotiated between citizens and law enforcement, and how different structures of this arrangement arise because of contrasting contexts and different institutional imperatives. The article will showcase the evolving role of the citizen as a partner in negotiated order and will speculate as to the future role of community members in the co-production of safety.

The chapter examines the captaincy of Albert Himura and his academy trainer, Rick Patton. Together, these Captains defined the organizational structure of the two groups the authors observed—the CPAB and the HO—throughout their fieldwork. The authors explore the community meeting structure under Captain Himura, whose main goal is to cultivate the capacity for community crime control. This begins with recruiting pro-law-enforcement thinkers. They also discuss how Captain Patton controlled the symbolic boundaries of meetings—who could participate, the agenda, and what messages should be circulated within and outside meetings—and show how police shape and restrict the role of the citizen in crime prevention. Regular meetings demonstrate that LAPD wishes to collaborate, but at the same time the Captain and SLOs favor LAPD’s traditional crime-fighting project.

In the context of the digitization of delinquent activities, perpetrated via the internet, the question of the most appropriate means of crime prevention and crime repression is once again being raised. Studies performed on police investigations have highlighted the over-determining nature of circumstantial factors in crime as a condition for their elucidation for more than fifty years. The emergence of mass delinquency, such as cybercrime, has thus strongly altered the role of investigation as a useful mode of knowledge production. This obsolescence has appeared gradually and can be summarized in four stages, which generates a suspicion about the social relevance of the investigation. It seems that the holistic approach of criminal intelligence is more adapted to the fight against new forms of crime. The investigation becomes a precision instrument assigned to functions that become more specific. This article considers this paradigm shift by the approaches to knowledge management of crime control. Cybercrime is then emblematic of this shift. This study is based on the criminological review and the delinquency analysis led by the central criminal intelligence service of the national gendarmerie. Its premise may likely guide the strategy of French law enforcement agencies.

The problem of psychological training of employees of law enforcement agencies remains relevant at the present time. The problem of professional training for extreme situations is of particular importance, as the choice of a methodological approach to the implementation of professional and psychological training of law enforcement officers. The most effective is the system-situational approach in combination with the model approach, which are based on the system approach. The authors consider the role of situational, system-situational, model approaches to the psychological training of law enforcement officers in extreme situations of professional activity. In the course of the theoretical analysis and empirical research, the conclusion is formulated about the significance and effectiveness of the system-situational approach, the use of which contributes to the formation of effective psychodiagnostic procedures. In the course of the study, the features of the psychological and managerial potential of employees of law enforcement agencies were identified. In modern conditions, a systematic approach is developing most intensively, which carries out a gradual study of the subject: from the general to the particular, taking into account the significance of the goal, its achievability. The article considers the system-situational approach as one of the most promising, especially in the aspect of empirical research of crisis and anti-crisis situations of operational and service activities. Within the framework of system-situational analysis, professionally significant activity is studied as a dynamic system.

Scriptural Reasoning (SR)—the philosophical inter-religious study of foundational religious texts—came into being as an academic practice in the 1990s. In this article, based on empirical research, we analyse how in London over the past decades this practice has gradually been applied by new groups—including as a means for Jewish-Muslim engagement, the focus of our research. We discuss the ways in which the role of the foundational religious texts in SR practices has changed and how Jewish and Muslim initiators and participants at the local level now navigate between academic theological guidelines, daily interactions, and grassroots’ objectives for inter-religious engagement. We argue that SR practices, after having been adapted to community and individual needs and responding to religious and social caveats from different sides, provide a meaningful approach to constructive and dynamic interaction and engagement between Jews and Muslims at a grassroots level.

Chapter 5 examines a different perspective on the use of informants, highlighting their use in narcotics investigations. With a focus on how different types of community members do and do not interact (and cooperate) with law enforcement officials the role of informants is brought central. By examining the beliefs and attitudes of policing officials, the belief that one can understand and fight for the “good people” of a community while striving to control and remove those who are a “scourge” on the community, the perceptions and activities of police who work with informants is described. Finally, this chapter also discusses the ways that community and law enforcement’s shared experiences and perspectives can influence the work of police and informants.

Ditenggarai lemahnya penegakan hukum terhadap pelanggaran politik uang yang terjadi pada Pemilu 2019 menjadi isu yang mengemuka, termasuk di Kabupaten Polewali Mandar. Peran pengawasan, penegakan dan penindakan, sebagaimana yang diatur dalam Undang-undang Nomor Nomor 7 tahun 2017 tentang Pemilihan Umum dan Peraturan Bawaslu Peraturan Bawaslu Nomor 31 Tahun 2018 tentang Sentra Penegakan Hukum Terpadu (Gakkumdu) memuat sejumlah ketentuan yang mengatur mekanisme dan tata cara penegakan hukum terhadap pelanggaran politik uang tersebut. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah, penelitian empiris yang mengkaji regulasi atau peraturan perundang-undangan dalam praktik penegakan hukum terhadap dugaan pelanggaran politik uang pada penyelenggaraan Pemilu Tahun 2019. Kesimpulan penelitian menunjukkan bahwa, terdapat 3 (tiga) kasus dugaan pelanggaran politik uang pada Pemilu Tahun 2019 di Kabupaten Polewali Mandar yang semestinya melewati 9 (sembilan) tahapan dalam kenyataannya hanya sampai pada tahapan ketiga yakni, rapat pleno pengawas Pemilu. Hal itu dikarenakan adanya ketidak sepahaman di dalam tim Sentra Gakkumdu dengan Bawaslu Kabupaten Polewali Mandar. Adapun kendala dalam penengakan hukum terhadap dugaan pidana politik uang sangat terkait dengan struktur hukum, substansi hukum dan budaya hukum sebagaimana fakta dan temuan lapangan. Karenanya, penelitian ini merekomendasikan, ke depan pidana Pemilu tidak lagi ditangani oleh Bawaslu, tetapi dimasukkan sebagai pidana umum. Dan jika sentra Gakkumdu tetap dipertahankan keberadaannya, hendaknya diberi kewenangan tambahan yakni, melakukan penahanan terhadap terduga pelaku politik uang, agar tidak terbuka ruang mengkodisikan saksi dugaan politik uang. Termasuk pentingnya pembentukan peradilan khusus Pemilu agar perbedaan pandangan atas kasus dugaan politik uang dapat diminimalisir. The indication of the weak law enforcement against money politics violations that occurred in the 2019 Election has become an emerging issue, including in Polewali Mandar Regency. The role of supervision and enforcement, as regulated in Law Number 7 of 2017 concerning General Elections and Bawaslu Regulation Number 31 of 2018 concerning Sentra Penegakan Hukum Terpadu (Gakkumdu) contains a number of provisions governing the mechanisms and procedures for law enforcement against such violations of money politics. The method used in this research is empirical research that examines regulations or statutory regulations in law enforcement practices against suspected violations of money politics at the 2019 Election. The research conclusion shows that, there were 3 (three) cases of alleged violations of money politics in the 2019 Election in Polewali Mandar Regency which should have passed 9 (nine) stages but in reality only reached the third stage, namely, the Election supervisor plenary meeting. It was due to the lack of Understanding on the Sentra Gakkumdu with Bawaslu Polewali Mandar. The obstacles in law enforcement against allegations of money politics crime are closely related to the legal structure, legal substance and legal culture as well as facts and field findings. Therefore, this research recommends that in the future election crimes will no longer be handled by Bawaslu, but be included as general crimes. And if the Sentra Gakkumdu is maintained, it should be given additional authority, namely, detaining suspected money politics actors, so that there is no room to codify witnesses for alleged money politics. This includes the importance of establishing a special election court so that differences in views on suspected cases of money politics can be minimized.

Police officer roles are typically divided into either crime control or peacekeeping/order maintenance functions. With the prevalence of community-oriented policing (COP), the majority of an officer’s duties are ostensibly more order maintenance in nature, but in the post-Ferguson world, the crime-fighting, warrior cop mentality still holds firm, which is in conflict with the tenets of COP. State statutes dictate the legal role of police officer and prior analyses demonstrated a shift over time toward including more order maintenance tasks following the emergence of COP. This analysis reexamines these statutes to determine if this shift continued. Our findings indicate a counterintuitive reversal in the trend, with more states removing order maintenance and peacekeeping duties from their statutes despite the wide dominance of COP.
