This paper wants to present a critical perspective in reading the discourse that has been played on social media in the last few days. With literature review method, the KPK Taliban is a form of discourse in which ideological values which are basically the principle of a person or group in determining the direction and purpose of how to proceed, are modified in such a way as to be sold or made into public commodities for political interests. The use of the term Taliban which is associated with hardline of Islam, wants to form an Islamic government in accordance with Islamic laws, is considered have a high 'selling power' so that it can be used to reduce the image of KPK as a law enforcement agency. Like a word, every journalist will try to make interesting headline to get a high view of readers. This term can seem to describe that there has been an internal radicalization in KPK that has created a system of eradicating selective corruption based on the ideology of investigator. From this point of view, social media can be said to be an easy facilitator to explore discourses of this kind. Due to the absence of a gate keeper or news editor, anyone who has an interest in them is free to release any statement even if it is not accompanied by valid data. Even rational and critical discussions such as the basic concept of public sphere are transformed into irrational

The legislative regulation of using confidants in Ukraine, as well as the moral aspects of confidential cooperation between individuals and law enforcement agencies have been analyzed. Some reasons that contributed to the regulation of confidential cooperation at the legislative level have been revealed in the historical retrospective; the correlation of the terms of “assistance” and “cooperation” used in the operative and search legislation has been demonstrated. It has been substantiated that in the course of studying the activities of special forces of operative and search activity it is advisable to use a narrower term of “cooperation”, which reflects the specifics of the activity of such forces. The norms of not secret normative legal acts have been outlined, which enshrined the conceptual bases of work with confidants. The emphasis has been made on the need to regulate not only the rights of the confidants, but also their obligations. A comparative analysis of the society’s attitude to confidential cooperation in different countries has been conducted. The moral and ethical grounds for involving persons into confidential cooperation have been studied. The author has outlined the essential role of the ideological component in the work of the state apparatus, which influences the attitude of society to confidential cooperation. The interdependence of moral and legal aspects of confidential cooperation has been proved. It has been established that the involvement of persons, from a moral point of view, into confidential cooperation is determined by: the voluntary nature of such involvement; public duty; perception of appropriate cooperation as the assistance to the community for its proper functioning; compulsory use of confidants for the prevention and detection of latent crimes; counteracting aggressive protection of criminal interests; guaranteeing the public interests by saving the costs for law enforcement function, since the use of confidants is more financially effective than attracting additional law enforcement forces and means.

The 1960S

In response to civil unrest, many U.S. police forces in the 1960s and 1970s adopted more aggressive postures, including “militarized” uniforms and tactics. A few, however, directed reform efforts toward “demilitarization.” This article focuses on the Menlo Park Police Department, in California, led by the maverick reformer Victor Cizanckas. It analyzes his attempts to change relations between the police and the public in his municipality, especially by decreasing incidents of abuse in one predominantly poor, black neighborhood. He instituted, for example, new uniforms and a nonhierarchical bureaucracy in the department. The article details how Cizanckas used emerging networks of law-enforcement professionalization to disseminate his ideas. It also analyzes the failures and challenges of these reform efforts. The article concludes that even radical police reform efforts in the period could not overcome racial inequality or a right-wing backlash against progressive ideas in policing.

The idea of criminalization of fraudulent acts by advocates in the judicial process has received public attention, especially from advocates. The criminal law norms regarding fraudulent acts by advocates in the Criminal Code Bill (CCB) raise many questions from the point of view of the criminalization policy. This study aims to analyze the criminalization policy against these acts in the CCB. This study is a juridical-normative study with descriptive-analytical methods. The discussion concluded that fraudulent acts by advocates in the form of “playing two feet” and actions “influencing parties in the law enforcement process with or without compensation” are actions that are not following the fundamental values prevailed by the public and also considered punishable. This arrangement aims to protect clients who request legal assistance services. The formulation of this regulation then becomes regulated to complement the criminal law norms related to the existing advocate profession. However, from the aspect of offense formulation, there are still things that need to be addressed so as not to cause multiple interpretations during its implementation, especially in relation to Article 282 of the CCB. AbstrakGagasan mengenai kriminalisasi terhadap perbuatan curang oleh advokat dalam proses peradilan mendapat perhatian masyarakat, terutama dari kalangan advokat. Norma hukum pidana mengenai perbuatan curang oleh advokat dalam RUU KUHP menimbulkan banyak pertanyaan dari sudut pandang kebijakan kriminalisasi. Kajian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis kebijakan kriminalisasi terhadap perbuatan tersebut dalam RUU KUHP. Kajian ini merupakan penelitian yuridis-normatif dengan metode analisis yang bersifat deskriptif analitis. Pembahasan di antaranya menyimpulkan bahwa perbuatan curang oleh advokat dalam bentuk perbuatan “main dua kaki” dan perbuatan “mempengaruhi pihak-pihak dalam proses penegakan hukum dengan atau tanpa imbalan” merupakan perbuatan yang tidak sesuai dengan nilai-nilai fundamental yang berlaku dalam masyarakat dan dianggap oleh masyarakat patut untuk dihukum. Pengaturan ini bertujuan untuk melindungi klien yang meminta jasa pendampingan hukum. Rumusan pengaturan ini kemudian menjadi diatur untuk melengkapi norma hukum pidana terkait profesi advokat yang ada selama ini. Namun dari aspek formulasi delik, masih ada yang perlu dibenahi agar tidak menimbulkan multitafsir saat penerapannya, khususnya terkait dengan Pasal 282 RUU KUHP.

Reverse police prostitution stings, which target men by using female police officers as decoy prostitutes, are becoming a common method in some United States cities for controlling the problem of solicitation for prostitution. The role of policewomen as decoys has received scant attention by scholars, though critics and traditional feminists view the practice as further evidence of the subjection and degradation of women in law enforcement. This article presents participant field observations of how reverse prostitution operations are conducted in Aurora, Colorado Springs, and Denver, Colorado and qualitative interview data from 25 female police officers who discuss their experiences as prostitution decoys. The findings indicate that female officers view the decoy role as an exciting opportunity for undercover work, despite the negative connotations of acting like a whore. According to the officers who work as decoys, it adds excitement and variety and offers potential for other opportunities for advancement within the police department in contrast to the rather mundane duties often associated with patrol.
