AbstractThis paper explores the value of international law in combating transnational organized crime in the Asia-Pacific, with particular reference to the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime. It begins by highlighting the definitions of organized crime under national and international law. It then analyzes the extent to which states in the Asia-Pacific have implemented the Convention, focusing on harmonization of national criminal laws and procedures, mutual recognition of law enforcement decisions and measures, as well as provision of technical assistance. The paper also touches upon the protection of the human rights of victims and perpetrators of organized crime. The main conclusion reached is that, although the implementation of international instruments pertinent to transnational organized crime has not been an easy task in the Asia-Pacific, they are slowly but surely making a difference on the ground. Therefore, their value should not be dismissed completely.

The Impact

“Crime Stoppers” has emerged as one of the most rapidly expanding and highly visible crime control strategies in the Western world, yet research on this program is extremely limited. This article reports some of the major findings of a national evaluation funded by the National Institute of Justice. The evaluation adopted a variety of strategies and methodologies, including national surveys of media executives and Crime Stoppers program coordinators, case studies to understand program processes and effects, and a randomized experiment to examine the effects of varying reward sizes on callers' perceptions, attitudes, and behaviors. Crime Stoppers is a very popular program that features the mass media in a pivotal and uniquely cooperative role with law enforcement and the community. Despite some impressive program statistics on felony arrests, convictions, and recovery of property and drugs, the impact of these interventions on community crime levels remains unknown. Furthermore, Crime Stoppers has been criticized by journalists, civil libertarians, and members of the legal profession for offering cash rewards and anonymity to encourage more citizen participation in the criminal justice system.

Alternative Routes

Background and context: Jordan's Public Health Law bans smoking in public places. However, law-enforcement mechanisms are lagging and Jordanians continue to be exposed to second-hand smoke. The Global Tobacco Control Report 2017 rates enforcement at 2/10 dropping even below the previous 3/10 rating of 2015. Aim: Our intervention aims to provide alternative routes for protection from exposure to second-hand smoke. Strategy/Tactics: The intervention builds on results from a 2012 survey which indicated that 85% of the public supports banning smoking in healthcare institutions, schools, and work places. In 2013 King Hussein Cancer Foundation and Center launched the Smoke-free Zone Certificate Program in collaboration with Global Smoke-free Worksite Challenge. The program, currently in its fifth round, recognizes institutions that voluntarily enforce smoke-free environments. Program/Policy process: Interested institutions submit an application requesting certification. Applications go through a screening process to confirm initial alignment with the program criteria. Institutions passing the initial screening are physically inspected for compliance through unannounced spot-check visits. Those passing the inspection receive certification. To qualify, an institution should meet two criteria. The first is enforcing a 100% smoke-free policy within all indoor premises. Designated smoking areas are not allowed. For schools, the criteria require that the smoke-free policy extends to cover both indoor and outdoor premises. The second criterion is that the smoke-free policy should be in effect for a minimum of 9 months on the day of certification. The appeal of the program builds on (1) the institution's belief in the importance of providing a safe and healthy environment, (2) the association of the program with the name of a well-respected national organization, and (3) the media exposure that the certified institutions receive. Active promotion of the program is performed during the application period to recruit additional applicants. Outcomes: Fig. 1 depicts the growth in numbers of applications and of certified organizations. On average 67% of applicants receive certification. Interest varies by category with schools outweighing all other applicants (62%). What was learned: Incentives for voluntary enforcement of smoke-free policies have the potential to support law enforcement. The growing interest and the modifications that institutions undergo to meet the program criteria are a testimony to our success. Several institutions went through three rounds of applications prior to receiving certification, indicating the ability of the program to motivate compliance. There is a need to continue to grow the number of applicants especially in the 'restaurants' and 'healthcare' categories. Sensitization about the benefits of smoke-free environments, technical assistance to interested institutions, and additional media exposure can help. [Figure: see text]

Economic development relation with corruption and anti-corruption have been a long discussion. The research shall try to know about the works of anti-corruption function of the INP and its contribution to economic developpment. This research explores the works of the Directorate for Corruption Crime and how the works is connected to national economic development. Anti-corruption works of the INP are contributing to economic development through several ways. Firstly, the directorate does its main job in investigating corruption cases. Corruption case investigation has additional task on how on finding assets of prepetators as retribution of state loss caused by corruption. Secondly, the directorate is mandated as police unit which is advanced as free from corruption area sample within police force. Thirdly, the directorate is assigned as the part of INP integrity enforcer of the INP to investigate corrupt police officers. Number four, anti-corruption directorate is appointed to assist the Chief of INP in any of anti-corruption issue that need INP contribution on it, especially on prevention matter. However, the works,are not well supported by addequate infrastructures. By this understanding, actors who are involving on giving technical assistance for strengthening law enforcement agencies, hopefully, will contributte better toward contries' anti-corruption measures through the improvement of their anti-corruption functions.

In an effort to reverse the trend of deforestation and forest degradation, several international initiatives have been attempted. Though promoted in different political arenas, Forest Law Enforcement, Governance and Trade (FLEGT) – Voluntary Partnership Agreement (VPA), and Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation in developing countries (REDD+) share overlapping objectives of conservation of tropical forests. We explore specialists' viewpoint on FLEGT-VPA and REDD+ processes in Indonesia with reference to their contribution towards Sustainable Forest Management (SFM). The study shows that FLEGT-VPA and REDD+ regimes contribute towards SFM. While FLEGT-VPA improves enabling condition for SFM through governance reform, improved harvesting practices, and timber legality assurance system, REDD+ supports SFM through institutional strengthening, reforming policies and frameworks, mobilizing new and additional financial resources and increasing social and ecological resilience. We identified opportunities to achieve synergies between REDD+ and FLEGT-VPA by harmonizing their processes, tools, methodologies, technical assistance, capacity-building and funding mechanisms.

The fear of crime has become a major problem in contemporary society. The National Institute of Justice selected the Police Foundation to conduct rigorous evaluations of several different law enforcement programs designed to address that problem in Newark and Houston. This article describes how the programs in Newark were developed, implemented, and evaluated and summarizes the results of those evaluations. The findings indicate that programs designed to carry out the original mandate of urban policing—to remain in close and frequent contact with citizens—were most effective. In response to these results, the Newark Police Department has adopted and expanded those program components found to be successful.
