Police Science

This paper uses a national survey experiment to examine how public attitudes toward violence change after being exposed to different narratives and statistics about state-sanctioned killing. Respondents were randomly assigned to groups receiving information about different types (execution vs. police shooting) of state-sanctioned violence and the perceived legitimacy (legitimate vs. erroneous) of each death. Our findings demonstrate that exposure to information about erroneous killings, particularly executions, reduced pro-violence attitudes among politically conservative respondents. This finding demonstrates the critical role of wrongful death narratives in shaping public opinion on justice and violence.

This paper entitled "The Development of Police in Indonesia (The Role of Police in the Four Epoch 1946Epoch -1961))". The researcher took this problem because of the interest in the police condition during the Indonesian revolution. At the revolution era, the police was treated unfavorably such as slapping, beating and murdered because they were identified as part of Colonial and Japanese authorities. But on the other hand, society and government need a police force to create a sense, safe, comfortable and peaceful. The main problem raised from this paper is "How the development of the Police of the Republic of Indonesia from the revolution until the period of Guided Democracy?" Historical research method was done by doing four steps of research such as heuristic, criticism, interpretation, and historiography. The technique used in data collection is literature study by reviewing the sources of literature that relevant to the issues. Based on the implementation, the result shown that, First, Police founded on July 1, 1946, backed by the need for a sense of security, comfortable, and peaceful. Second, Police in United States of Indonesia (RIS) epoch were marked by dualism, with the existence of a central police force with the state police. Third, in liberal democracy epoch, police organizations are in the political vortex of the ups and downs of the cabinet. But even so, the police were demanded to organize and perfecting the organization. Fourth, since 1961, the police are integrated in a corps named, the Armed Forces of the Republic of Indonesia. It is because the government wanted to create synergy with other forces, such as Army (AD), Navy (AL) and Air Force (AU).

The PRC Office is a division of the City Manager's Office with a staff of three:  The PRC Officer administers the daily operations of the PRC office, supervises staff, oversees complaint investigations, and serves as Secretary to the Commission. As Secretary, the PRC Officer staffs commission meetings and provides managerial support in the execution of PRC policies and procedures.  The PRC Investigator conducts in-depth investigations of civilian complaints against members of the Berkley Police Department, assists with special projects, and periodically serves as Acting Commission Secretary.  The Office Specialist III manages the front office, provides administrative support to the PRC Officer and Investigator, prepares and maintains PRC records, and compiles statistics.

On behalf of the Berkeley Police Review Commission, I present the Commission's 2013 Annual Report. The main purpose of this report is to provide statistical data of misconduct complaints filed during the year. However, also included is the Commission roster with a short description of the Commissioners' duties, an introduction to the Commission Staff, a brief outline of the complaint procedure and a list of meetings held this year. 2013 was a busy year for the Commission. Early in the year, the City of Berkeley was faced with the in-custody death of a member of its community. The Commission voted unanimously to begin a formal investigation which demanded a high degree of professionalism and time from the Commissioners and Staff. It is my firm belief that the Commission and Staff conducted themselves with the utmost competence during this investigation which is slated to culminate at a Board of Inquiry in early 2014. While much of the Commission's time this year was dedicated to hearing the public's concerns of the aforementioned investigation, the Commission was nonetheless able to address many other important issues affecting our community. Prompted by the Alameda County Sherriff Department's interest in implementing the use of drones in its policing activities, the Commission formed the Drone Subcommittee to explore the possible use of drones in the City of Berkeley. Through the subcommittee process, the Commission collaborated with the Peace and Justice Commission and held a joint town hall meeting in which the public and other stakeholders were able to voice their opinions on the use of drones in the City. This ultimately resulted in a recommendation by the full Commission to the City Council. Police Review Commission (PRC)

In this article, we address the impact of political and state centralization
measures promoted by Peronism by studying the reorganization of the
structure of the Córdoba police force, headed by Federal Police officers.
In this regard, we identify the Inter-American Conferences on the
Coordination of Police and Judicial Measures, held during World War II,
as spaces that enabled the emergence of federal-level police
cooperation organizations that relied on national defense, along with
the maintenance of neutrality, to legitimize police action in matters of
internal security. At the same time, from a national perspective, we
investigate the context of political and partisan disputes following the
1943 coup d'état and their implications for the Córdoba police force. As
demonstrated, the modifications included internal provisions
(personnel regimes and technical infrastructure) and the passage of a
police law that enshrined their unification under a single authority: the
provincial police chief. This research aims to provide a series of
perspectives for studying the role of police institutions in the affirmation
and consolidation of government political power.

Entre 1902 y 1913, José Ingenieros dirige una revista que difunde una vasta masa de informes y análisis provenientes del medio policial, de hospitales, de consultorios médicos y del ámbito jurídico. Varios de los casos se vuelven célebres a nivel nacional, por la espectacularidad del delito o por los debates en torno al diagnóstico psiquiátrico. La revista edita conferencias, ensayos y literatura sobre la “mala vida” o los cuadros psicopatológicos, forjando una vasta galería de “patologías” modernas que incluyen desde perversiones sexuales y casos de histeria hasta formas de la religiosidad popular. A través de la revista Archivos de psiquiatría y criminología Ingenieros logra consolidar una primera red latinoamericana de autores e ideas, ligados a la psiquiatría y la criminología positivistas, con centro en Buenos Aires. El estudio preliminar y la antología que ahora presentamos muestran tanto las regularidades compartidas por una hegemonía discursiva como la especificidad irreductible de una publicación muy sesgada por la impronta teórica de su director.

En Tema del traidor y el héroe, Ryan, historiador y bisnieto del héroe irlandés Fergus Kilpatrick, comprueba con estupor que ciertas palabras de un mendigo que conversó con este momentos antes de su muerte habían sido prefiguradas por Shakespeare en la tragedia de Macbeth. Ese detalle lo lleva a postular su gran hipótesis conspirativa, dado que si ya era suficientemente pasmoso que la historia hubiera copiado a la historia, le parecía inconcebible que la historia copiara a la literatura. Hoy sabemos, y el libro de Pablo Von Stecher viene a dar un paso más a este respecto, que no solo es bastante frecuente que la historia copie a la literatura sino que además, ese conjunto de discursos al que solemos llamar literatura interviene de modo concreto en la realidad, determinando las vidas de los hombres y las mujeres que le salen al paso. En este sentido, la publicación de La palabra médica en la Argentina: Enfermos, simuladores y parias viene a poner de relieve el peso que unos discursos...

La perfilación criminal ha sido una técnica utilizada en la investigación criminal principalmente de homicidios y delitos sexuales, para identificar patrones de comportamiento que establecen una asociación entre las víctimas y el victimario fundamentada en la vinculación del modus operandi, firma criminal y características victimológicas observadas en el(los) lugar(es) de los hechos (escena del crimen) que se repiten y emergen la huella conductual consistente en el tiempo y permite delimitar especificidades del tipo de criminal en el delito. Sin embargo, la evidencia empírica y la literatura académica, aunque han brindado algunos elementos de análisis comportamental en la aplicación del perfil criminal, promueve una discusión cimentada en tres interrogantes: a) ¿qué tipo de elementos comprenden la huella psicológica?, b) ¿cómo se entiende firma criminal y el modus operandi en la perfilación criminal?, c) ¿qué diferencias existen entre la firma, el modus operandi y la huella psicológica? Por lo tanto, este capítulo a través de análisis de literatura científica, consulta a expertos y experiencia en investigación criminológica policial, plantea algunas reflexiones sobre qué elementos deben analizarse en el patrón criminoso e identificación de la "huella psicológica" en la aplicación de perfilación criminal.

The rapid rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and robotics is reshaping everyday life and fundamentally challenging existing concepts of crime, policing, and justice. AI-generated deepfakes, autonomous decision-making chatbots, and robotic systems deployed in both criminal and preventive contexts highlight urgent legal, ethical, and criminological questions. At the same time, growing tensions emerge between technological innovation, state control, and the protection of fundamental rights.

This edited volume, part of Springer’s Cybercriminology series and edited by Prof. Dr. Thomas-Gabriel Rüdiger (Institute for Cybercriminology, Brandenburg State Police University) and Prof. Dr. Petra Saskia Bayerl (Sheffield Hallam University, UK), explores the opportunities and challenges posed by AI and robotics for policing and safer societies. Bringing together interdisciplinary perspectives from criminology, law, sociology, computer science, ethics, and practice, the volume will critically examine how AI and robotics alter crime dynamics, reshape police work, raise novel ethical and legal dilemmas, and influence societal expectations.

Contributors are invited to engage with a broad set of questions, ranging from AI as an autonomous actor of criminological relevance, to legal frameworks and ethical implications, to public trust in technologically enhanced policing. The book seeks to provide both empirical insights and theoretical reflection, fostering interdisciplinary dialogue on the crimino-political consequences of a society in which AI and robotics become integral to almost every sphere of life.

The word ‚Police‛ gives us a sense of security. Whenever we are in trouble and need urgent help, the first organization comes in our mind is police. Being as an important institution of public administration and governance, there is a great onus on the shoulders of this institution. But there is a dark side also, police as a force is used by the political executive's and bureaucracy to threaten common people and for many unethical purposes, which make negative image of police among citizens. The biggest irony is, the present day police machinery in our country is still governed by the colonial police act of 1861. The law which has been brought and enacted to establish an organized force to subvert the freedom movement and harass people of then India, many commissions and committees time to time in their reports have suggested replacing this colonial act, but nothing productive has come out. The objectives of the paper is to understand the changes occurred in police machinery after the independence in our country, to understand the importance of police in internal security and to suggest further reforms in police machinery in our country. This study was qualitative in nature and based on the secondary data. The author finds that the role of police in internal security is prime in the country like India, where there are many security issues due to its location, terrain and diversity like Naxalism, Terrorism, communal clashes and other law and order issues etc. Author suggested reforms like Proper implementation of seven directives by Supreme Court, next-generation warfare training to police personnel's, enhanced role of state police forces in naxal areas of the country etc.

Purpose: The paper presents the key findings of the research conducted in Poland in 2013 within the framework of the international project titled “Legitimacy Policing and Criminal Justice in Central and Eastern Europe”. The main purpose of the study was to investigate whether and to what extent the process-based models of policing research hypotheses were supported in the Polish context. More specifically, the research examined influences of the main factors that shape the perception of police legitimacy and the impact of police legitimacy on public cooperation with the police.

This essay reviews several of the moral messages found in the film Serpico (129 ,1973 min.) with emphasis upon understanding the meaning of the phrase “the blue wall of silence” as well as current efforts to limit its occurrences and harmful effects. The essay includes details about the life of Frank Serpico, picking up where the classic Hollywood film left off. Policing in the 1960s and the current nature and the future of policing reforms are considered. Serpico’s present-day opinions about police corruption and violence are also discussed. In addition, the newest private effort to use technology to bring transparency and accountability to law enforcement, the Law Enforcement Work Inquiry System (the LEWIS registry) is described and recommended for national implementation.

This article highlights a number of issues related to the witnessing of 'illegal' police violence by researchers. Empirical evidence is drawn from fieldwork conducted for a larger study of police culture, which is the first examination of gender relations in the British police. This extensive ethnographic study is used to highlight the way fieldwork can lead to a number of ethically ambiguous situations. Whether to 'blow the whistle', to express disapproval, report to senior officers or some other authority on viewing violence or ' excessive force' is analysed. A number of scenarios are described which are used to reflect upon the personal ethical stance that often has to be used to resolve such issues. It might be asked whether there is any point in spending long hours conducting a police ethnography for any reason other than to blow the whistle on their indiscretions. As this type of research may involve encounters with violence, however, it raises certain ethical, practical and theoretical problems. In this article the dilemmas faced by field workers when they witness deviance in the form of violent acts are discussed. Indeed, although being present when something 'illegal' occurs is a fairly universal problem for participant observation studies, at the beginning of a project ethnographers rarely have an instruction manual which goes further than the general methodological issues such as those raised by Ferrell and Hamm (1998), King and Wincup (2000) or . In texts such as these, numerous aspects of observational research are described, the ethical ambiguities of fieldwork are raised, but few practical resolutions are suggested. In this article two categories of dilemma facing ethnographers who may encounter violent acts will be examined. First, the difficulty of actually identifying the phenomenon, so that during observations in the field, violence can be differentiated from legitimate force. In 'real life' research situations this is more problematic than it might seem, as Gilligan argues (2000: 91), 'there is a consensus that we lack a theory of violence adequate to enable us to explain, predict and prevent violent behaviour.' A second difficulty discussed in this article is what the fieldworker might do when violence is identified as having happened. In effect, how difficult decisions can be made despite the 'physical and bodily, as well as intellectual and methodological' immersion in the research site (Coffey 1999: 70). These two points will be discussed here within a framework which acknowledges the effects of police occupational culture, the nature of group solidarity it fosters and the 'hazards faced by whistleblowers' such as the 'cold shoulder treatment' (Chan 1996: 121).

Transformative leadership stands at the heart of Africa's quest for inclusive development, ethical governance, and resilient institutions. In this article, we interrogate the depth of transformative leadership from a Tanzanian perspective, drawing insights from the evolving political, social, and economic landscape. While the continent boasts visionary leaders and promising youth demographics, it remains constrained by systemic challenges such as personalized power, weak succession planning, corruption, and disengaged local governance. Within this context, UONGOZI Institute emerges as a critical force-incubating a generation of principled, strategic, and people-centered leaders across public service, including law enforcement. The article further explores the practical impact of UONGOZI alumni in reshaping Africa's leadership ethos through innovation, ethical influence, and intergenerational mentorship. Strategic pathways for alumni engagement are proposed, with special attention to localized leadership reform, knowledge sharing, and continental alignment with Agenda 2063. Finally, grounded in personal reflections and institutional experience, the piece highlights the urgent need for leadership in law enforcement to transcend enforcement and embrace service, accountability, and community trust. Ultimately, the paper challenges African leadership to be not only a position but a purpose; not merely command but transformation. Through the lens of alumni engagement and ethical training, this is a call to lead differently, decisively, and deliberately for the future of Africa.

This essay examines the history and technological operations of contemporary settler colonial frontier making. By thinking from a “subcolonial” frontier in Northwest China — defined as a colonial project of a former semi-colony, and thinking with the digital enclosure of automated surveillance and data analytics that enables it, the essay theorizes the basic operations and infrastructures of contemporary coloniality. The essay posits that contemporary colonial projects tend toward a particular form of flexible digital control that is best characterized as an “operational enclosure.” This form of enclosure which is derived from European and American military and policing theory and “counter-terrorism” technology, uses data analytics to slot Muslims and other racialized populations into the operative logics of actionable intelligence. Ultimately it argues that the speed, scale, and truth claims of coloniality, assisted by advanced technology and the logics of anti-Muslim racism borne in the global North, accelerate the banal, or unthought, action of state violence as simply a sequence of operations, and make it both more difficult to resist and easier to expose. The essay concludes with a comparison of contemporary coloniality in Xinjiang, Kashmir, and Palestine, drawing out some common features of emergent and ongoing settler colonial frontiers across Asia.

This book proposes a new vision for security management in modern residential cities by applying Toyota's proven methodologies-Gemba, Kaizen, Hoshin Kanri, Standardized Work, and Visual Management-within urban security systems. By aligning strategic goals, standardizing operations, and involving real-time field assessments, we advocate for a holistic transformation that addresses organizational, technical, and human dimensions of safety.

Over the past few years, Pakistan has come to see telephone scams, text-message phishing, and similar online cons not as isolated incidents, but as a nationwide epidemic. Statistics from 2021 to 2023 paint a stark picture of that growth. For example, the Federal Investigation Agency FIA revealed that roughly 40,000 of the more than 100,000+ cybercrime reports filed last year linked directly to money-related fraud (Abbasi, 18 July 2023). Similarly, the Banking Mohtasib Ombudsman office recorded a shocking climb in banking fraud claims-466 cases in 2021 swelled to 1392 in 2022, nearly three times the volume. Observers connect this wave to explosive digital banking expansion, which saw e-banking transactions leap by 112% from 2016 to 2019 according to the State Bank, and to the ever-growing pool of new Internet users. Each fresh mobile data customer creates another opportunity for criminals lurking online. Across Pakistan, phone scams involving fake bank staff or officials from agencies like the State

The article sets out to examine the stances of novice and senior Cypriot law enforcers towards the disclosure of their identities in anti-riot operations. For doing so, the input of 201 Cypriot law enforcers into a two-phase cross-sectional study is examined. Unsurprisingly, it is demonstrated that, although by rendering police officers identifiable during crowd controls will unquestionably enhance police legitimacy, senior law enforcers oppose such development (regardless of their gender, rank, length of service, post, and experience). However, this is not reflected in the perceptions of police cadets, whose (only) 1-year service at the police seems to prevent them from following in the footsteps of their senior colleagues. To this end, particular aspects of police culture could have a substantive role in supressing procedural justice, that is transparency and justice in identifying deviant police officers during anti-riot operations.

SpringerBriefs in Policing presents concise summaries of cutting edge research in Police Science, across the fields of Criminology, Criminal Justice, Psychology, Forensic Science, and Corrections with implications for the study of police and police work. It publishes small but impactful volumes of between 50-125 pages, with a clearly defined focus. The series covers a broad range of Policing research: from experimental design and methods, to brief reports and regional case studies, to policy-related applications. The scope of the series spans the subfield of Policing, with an aim to be on the leading edge and continue to advance research. The series is international and crossdisciplinary, including a broad array of topics. The main goal of the series is to present innovations in Policing, in order to further the field as a research and evidence-based profession rather than a vocational occupation. It will showcase how Policing confronts problems and challenges that transcend cultures and borders and can be addressed from a global rather than local perspective.

It is often maintained that factors such as the multifarious and exigent nature of the police profession, the diversity of police personnel, and the dissimilar socioeconomic and political settings which surround the sphere of policing, fragment the shared values, beliefs, and norms of police officers. As a result, the spatiality and saliency of such values (police culture), is doubted, if not denied. Such being the case, the article sets out to examine whether or not police culture, as documented to exist in Anglo-American police organisations, is reflected in two disparate settings, namely the Croatian and Cyprus Police. For attesting the foregoing, quantitative research was undertaken in these two settings. Upon analysing the responses of novice law enforcers (n = 185), it was found that the core constituents of police culture (isolation, suspicion, brotherhood, and cynicism), besides cynicismwhich was partially supportedmanifested in both police organisations.

In this article, we offer a conceptual provocation that seeks to reframe
critical engagement with migration ‘deterrence’. While scholars have
illustrated how deterrence policies and practices within migration
governance do not necessarily work as advertised, they have rarely
interrogated deterrence as such. Responding to this gap, we
mobilize the method of critical juxtaposing to examine the
historical and etymological origins of deterrence as a concept and
set of practices. We bring together insights from critical
criminology, political geography, and critical border studies to
better apprehend what deterrence is and does in the world. We
argue that deterrence must be understood as a form of public
terror, foundational to modern states and relations of accumulation
under racial capitalism. Rather than reproduce common-sense logic,
language and violence of deterrence, we call for the need to refuse
deterrence. In doing so, this article contributes to broader projects
of police and border abolition.

Background and Objective: Although occupational stress is a common phenomenon in all occupations, it is more important in health workers. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between occupational stress and job burnout among the employees of health centers. Materials and Methods: This descriptive-analytical study was performed on the statistical population consisting of all the health center personnel in Asadabad city, Iran with a sample size of 214 participants during 2015-2016. The data were collected through stratified sampling method using two standard questionnaires of Osipow job stress questionnaire and Maslach burnout inventory. All the data were analyzed by correlation and regression analyses utilizing SPSS version 20. The findings of this study showed that there is a statistically significant relationship between job stress and job burnout (r=579.9, P=0.0001). However, the relationships between job stress, job burnout, and the underlying variables of the subjects, including age, gender, work experience, and education level were not significant in single-variable analysis. The result of linear regression also indicates that the relationship between job stress and burnout is not significant with any of the underlying variables. The result of linear regression shows that there is a boundary relationship between age and burnout. According to the results of present study, application of strategies for decreasing occupational stress and job burnout seems to improve the quality of service delivery to clients. Furthermore, the welfare, life level, and efficiency of the health centers personnel might get enhanced.

Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) can serve as an effective platform to explore members' understanding of the code of ethics, identify challenges, and formulate reinforcement strategies aligned with religious values. This community service activity was carried out in April 2025 at the Headquarters of the Medan City Police, aiming to strengthen the Code of Ethics of the Indonesian National Police (POLRI) among its members. By utilizing FGDs focused on religious character, this initiative addressed the potential erosion of ethical compliance due to work pressure and complex environments. Religious values were regarded as a strong moral foundation. The program included problem identification, planning, participatory FGD sessions with religious-based materials and case studies, and impact evaluation. The results showed improved understanding of the code of ethics and the relevance of religious character, evidenced by enhanced ethical dilemma analysis, increased commitment to religious values, and more proactive problem-solving. Active participation and positive feedback confirmed the members' readiness for self-reflection and heightened motivation to implement the code of ethics and religious values.

This paper analyzes the ambiguous, and often prejudiced, framework in conceptualizing the policing system in Bangladesh. Keeping the 2024 July uprising in mind, it questions the fundamental understanding of governance, corruption, and (unquestioned) oligarchy.

Undercover police operations are common in many countries, including India. They work undercover to gather intelligence, investigate criminal activities, and infiltrate criminal organisations to enforce the law effectively. Undercover operations are not just about the act of going undercover, but they require meticulous planning, coordination, and careful consideration of legal and ethical boundaries. The officers involved must adhere to strict guidelines to ensure the legality and integrity of their operations, for instance, authorisation, procedural safeguards, limitations on entrapment, privacy considerations, use of evidence, and oversight and accountability. Additionally, it requires appropriate training, clear guidelines, effective management, and resilient support mechanisms for undercover officers. But above all, it requires formidable leadership, which is the backbone of successful operations. This paper analyses the contribution of UPOs to the Indian context. The research methodology is doctrinal, focused on critical parameters like working, legality, ethics, and challenges faced by undercover police personnel. It uses various case laws, reports, and interviews of undercover police officers. The paper concludes that UPO can be a valuable tool in combating crime. However, evaluating their success requires a comprehensive analysis of multiple factors and outcomes specific to each operation. Nevertheless, regular review, oversight, and adherence to legal safeguards are not just necessary, but they are the cornerstone of preventing abuses and preserving the integrity of UPO in India.

Este trabajo analiza el discurso producido por los guardias civiles sobre su carácter militar en la Segunda República a través del estudio de los artículos publicados en su revista corporativa de referencia: la Revista Técnica de la Guardia Civil. El objetivo es examinar los significados que atribuyeron a dicha idea para mantener su autonomía respecto al poder militar e impedir la implantación de modelos organizativos y protocolos operativos propios del Ejército. Se sostiene que la estrategia que aplicaron consistió en asociar semánticamente su naturaleza castrense a los atributos institucionales específicos de las fuerzas gendármicas, los cuales se enraizaban en su peculiar condición híbrida.

Producto de varias investigaciones realizadas en Colombia, este libro presenta en cuatro capítulos elementos de aplicación de la psicología que permiten comprender patrones criminales y análisis de la huella conductual en delitos como homicidios seriales, muertes violentas y ataques con agentes químicos. Estos delitos involucran factores psicojurídicos que permiten identificar y comprender sus entramados criminosos, tales como las motivaciones del criminal, el modus operandi, la vinculación de los crímenes con el agresor, la huella psicológica, la victimología latente o las características del lugar de los hechos, asociadas con la evidencia conductual. La obra ofrece espacios para poner en práctica principios de la psicología criminológica en la investigación criminal y el sistema de justicia. Sin duda, constituye un recurso de consulta novedoso y completo para investigadores, académicos y actores institucionales del sistema de justicia, en lo que respecta a la investigación de la conducta criminal.

Bezpieczeństwo lokalne w wybranych gminach powiatu koszalińskiego Streszczenie Bezpieczeństwo jako pojęcie i przedmiot badań naukowych staje się coraz bardziej popularne ze względu na dynamikę zmian, jakie zachodzą we współczesnym świecie. Dotyczy ono nie tylko zagrożenia płynącego z zewnątrz, ale obejmuje również sferę wewnętrzną, wliczając w to funkcjonowanie samorządów i społeczności lokalnych. Zagrożenia bezpieczeństwa to także występująca lokalnie przestępczość, różnorodne wykroczenia i zakłócenia porządku. Z tymi wyzwaniami zmagają się jednostki samorządu terytorialnego oraz współpracujące z nimi struktury policji. Próbując dokonać analizy zjawiska, należy uwzględnić także występującą na danym obszarze stopę bezrobocia oraz wsparcie z zakresu pomocy społecznej. Autor wykorzystując metodę case study, porównania oraz metodę ilościową podjął się dokonania analizy zagrożenia dla bezpieczeństwa wewnętrznego w postaci występujących zjawisk o charakterze kryminogennym w dwóch sąsiadujących ze sobą gminach powiatu koszalińskiego: gminy Mielno oraz gminy Będzino w 2023 roku. Chcąc uwzględnić specyfikę wybranych podmiotów, wykorzystano przy tym dane na temat bezrobocia i lokalne dokumenty strategiczne, uwzględniając także różnice w zasobach endogenicznych gmin. Niniejsza analiza ma wykazać związek bezrobocia z przestępczością na danym obszarze, w zależności od badanego okresu, położenia gminy i jej zasobów ekonomicznych i osobowych.

The legal regulation of private security in Serbia began in 2013 with the adoption of laws and secondary legislation in that area. Private security can be divided in various ways depending on the criteria. In the paper, the authors singled out only one form in which it appears (technical protection), and they explore the supervision by the police. This social phenomenon can be explored from various aspects, but the authors chose only legal and practical aspects. An attempt is made to give an answer to the question of what exactly a police officer does in the supervision of technical protection, what are the forms of supervision, the way of supervision, how the identified types of supervision differ, what documentation is required for supervision, making a report on supervision, etc.

El Perú transita por un período de inestabilidad política, que se expresa en la volatilidad del cargo de presidente o presidenta de la República. En medio de conflictos políticos entre el Parlamento y el Ejecutivo, grupos representados en el Congreso acudieron a la figura de la vacancia para forzar el término prematuro del encargo presidencial. Esto sucedió en marzo de 2018, noviembre de 2020 y diciembre de 2022. En las dos últimas ocasiones, de manera casi inmediata, grandes sectores de la ciudadanía salieron a las calles a protestar por la decisión del Congreso. En diferentes regiones del Perú se organizaron marchas multitudinarias. En ese punto, pongo los reflectores sobre la Policía Nacional del Perú (PNP), para preguntarme
en qué medida la actuación policial en las protestas políticas posteriores a las vacancias presidenciales se realizó acorde con los derechos humanos. Ese análisis cualitativo nos permitirá tener una mirada de conjunto hacia ambos sucesos, con el fi n de hacer un balance y plantear perspectivas.
La estructura del documento es la siguiente. En la primera sección se describirá el diseño constitucional de la PNP y se argumentará que las personas policías tienen una triple relación con los derechos humanos: garantes de su vigencia, receptores de su legitimidad y son sujetos de derechos fundamentales. En la sección segunda plantearé una definición de protesta social y se describirá el marco normativo sobre uso de la fuerza policial. En la tercera sección traeré a colación textos sobre Policía y protesta social, para luego entrar a los dos casos, léase las protestas
en el 2020 y el 2022-2023 con ocasión de la sucesión presidencial. Finalmente, se presenta a modo de conclusiones, un balance y perspectivas.

Human beings have been on the move since the beginning of their existence. There have been migration events throughout history for reasons such as wars, scarcity of resources in their places, political reasons, low quality of life. Individuals want to migrate from their places in order to live the life they desire. This situation leads to violations of the borders and legal rules of many countries. In addition, people's desire to migrate causes them to be financially exploited by other people. The migration adventure of individuals may not always end in the way they aim. The material and moral integrity of individuals may be damaged during the journey. Since migrant smuggling has an international dimension, legal regulations have been made both at the international and national level in order to combat the crime of migrant smuggling.
In this research I have dealt with the crime of migrant smuggling in comparative countries. It will be explained in more detail in the following sections.

This paper examines organisational perspectives on the management of the in-service training function within the Turkish National Police. It is based on themes that emerged during an examination of Turkish academic and professional literature relating to policing and police training. The emerging training-related issues are grouped under the following thematic areas: (1) policymaking and central planning, (2) training needs analysis, (3) training research and development, (4) training delivery, (5) training evaluation, (6) employment of both training staff and trainees, and (7) inspection practices relating to the training function. The themes revealed that the organisational management of the in-service training function in the Turkish National Police (TNP) seems to be largely disintegrated and poorly aligned.
