The Centrality of Kyai in Establishing Moderate Understandings in Salafiyyah Pesantren

The yellow book as a compulsory curriculum in Salafiyyah Islamic boarding schools includes intolerant teachings, especially in the chapters of jihad and hudud. However, the students at this pesantren showed extraordinary tolerance and avoided cases of religious violence. This sketch shows that the students did not just learn and explicitly follow the teachings of centuries-old religious texts. This article reveals the guidance of kyai (Islamic religious leaders) in shaping the attitude of tolerance of students through the interpretation of the yellow book. With a qualitative approach in the form of a case study, this study interviews the kyai who act as supervisors and teachers at the Sabilurrosyad Islamic boarding school in Malang. The findings of the study revealed that the kyai consistently guided their students in understanding classical texts based on their socio-cultural background, by emphasizing obedience to the government, respecting local wisdom, considering social conditions, and maintaining tolerance of other religions. In conclusion, kyai plays an important role as an interpreter of the yellow book so that students have a moderate understanding.

An exploration of the service and crime prevention performance of the municipal police departments of Taiwan’s counties: the perspective of broken windows theory

PurposeThis study aims to evaluate the service and crime prevention performance of law enforcement agencies in Taiwan’s municipalities. By analyzing these performances, the study seeks to improve the efficiency of police services through appropriate resource allocation, ultimately achieving enhanced crime prevention.Design/methodology/approachThe study utilized a two-stage data envelopment analysis (DEA) to construct performance metrics. In the first stage, the service performance of the police force was measured using the number of police officers and police stations as inputs and the number of patrols and temporary patrol boxes as outputs. In the second stage, crime prevention performance was assessed with the number of patrols and temporary patrol boxes as inputs and cases of violence, injury, intimidation and theft as outputs. Additionally, a truncated regression model was employed to analyze the impact of environmental variables such as per capita income, population density, proportion of the population with higher education and the unemployment rate on crime prevention performance.FindingsThe study found significant variations in both service and crime prevention performance across different municipalities. By identifying the most efficient and inefficient units, the analysis revealed critical insights into resource utilization and areas needing improvement. The regression analysis indicated that environmental factors such as higher per capita income, population density, education level and unemployment rate significantly affect crime prevention performance.Originality/valueThis research provides a novel approach to assessing police service efficiency and crime prevention effectiveness using a two-stage DEA model. By incorporating environmental variables through truncated regression, the study offers a comprehensive evaluation framework that can inform policy decisions and resource allocation strategies. This methodology not only highlights the performance metrics of law enforcement agencies but also underscores the influence of socioeconomic factors on crime prevention, contributing to the broader literature on public safety and resource management.

Legal Protection of Child Victims of Religious Leader Sexual Violence (Community Protection and Punishment)

Sexual violence constitutes a worldwide concern that jeopardizes individual security and integrity while eroding the social and moral fabric of society. When perpetrated by religious leaders, the issue becomes more intricate due to the exploitation of power, trust, and elevated social status. These leaders, expected to serve as moral exemplars, become offenders of crimes that infringe upon human rights. Legislators have established many laws and regulations, with the provisions controlling sexual violence delineated in Law Number 12 of 2022. However, there are still many cases of sexual violence against children both in the education environment and in society in Indonesia, especially those that occur in the Aru Maluku Islands Regency. The problem encountered is why there is an inequality in criminal law enforcement against children as victims of sexual violence committed by religious leaders?. This research aims to analyze the legal protection of victims of sexual violence committed by religious leaders. The research findings indicate a necessity for legal and policy reform, emphasizing that sanctions imposed on perpetrators of sexual violence who are religious leaders must be stringent to prevent the perception of legal immunity due to their religious status. So it is recommended that the government revise the law to remove legal immunity for religious leaders.

The structured assessment of violence risk in youth demonstrates measurement invariance between Black and White justice-referred youths.

Identification and implementation of effective methods for reducing racial/ethnic bias and disparities in legal settings are paramount in the United States and other countries. One procedure originally thought to reduce bias in legal decisions is the use of risk assessment instruments, which is now being heavily scrutinized. Measurement invariance, a latent trait technique, is a robust method for assessing one form of bias. Measurement invariance involves determining whether risk items in an instrument appear to be functioning the same between racial or other groups. Thus, the present study examined measurement invariance of the Structured Assessment of Violence Risk in Youth (SAVRY) between non-Latino Black and White youths to examine racial bias. We expected the SAVRY to be invariant (lacking measurement bias) between Black and White youths. The sample included 687 Black and 361 White youths, and the study used a large, multistate data set of SAVRYs conducted by probation officers. We conducted measurement invariance testing in a series of hierarchical steps including testing configural and scalar invariance. The SAVRY demonstrated scalar invariance (equal thresholds for ratings from "low" to "moderate" and "moderate" to "high") for all items except one-community disorganization. The findings lend further credibility to the SAVRY, and the structured professional judgment approach, as a method to assess violence risk and case planning needs among youths involved in the legal system. These findings provide more confidence that significant differences in SAVRY risk level or items between Black and White youths are not based in measurement bias, with the exception of the community disorganization item. Potential fixes discussed include eliminating or deemphasizing this item in final risk level ratings. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved).

Corruption, sextortion, gender-based violence: Open challenges for the European Union in harmonising substantive criminal rules

The TFEU granted the European Union a propulsive function of harmonizing criminal provisions by establishing minimum standards relating to the definition of crimes and penalties concerning impactful forms of criminality. Considering this, the European Commission has proposed two directives on corruption and gender-based violence, nevertheless lacking to enucleate borderline cases such as sextortion, namely that form of corruption in which sex, rather than money, is the currency of the bribe. Sextortion has been recorded in critical sectors such as education, healthcare, and law enforcement, but there are no specific laws regulating it. Consequently, law enforcement agencies pursue a case-by-case approach and prosecute sextortion either as a corruption case or as a gender-based violence case. Such an approach is not devoid of criticalities. On this point, one should consider, for example, the burdens of consent and the evidentiary system regarding sexual coercion or the unfair criminalization of victims since, technically, they are the ones who provide the sexual activity that constitutes the currency of the bribe. To overcome these concerns, this article suggests introducing an autonomous offense specifically designed to criminalize the conduct of those in a position of power demanding or receiving sexual services in exchange for treatments or services to which those who provide the sexual activity are already legally entitled. Placing the sextortion issue at the European level would fit within the current legal basis of the treaties (Article 83(1) and (2) TFEU) and align with current European initiatives in the field of corruption and gender-based violence.

Constitutive metaphors and legislator reasoning: the case of domestic violence

ABSTRACT Metaphors are crucial in politics, conveying complex information in simple terms. Research in political science often focuses on how elites strategically use metaphors to frame issues and how citizens rely on them to reason about unfamiliar topics. However, what happens when legislators face novel problems they must attend promptly yet lack profound knowledge about? How do they reason about such issues? Building on research concerning how scientists employ metaphors (constitutive metaphors) to develop scientific theories, this paper contends that legislators can turn to metaphors when grappling with unfamiliar legislative issues. Constitutive metaphors give legislators the terminology needed to adapt their understanding of such issues. By creating a ‘theory’ of the problem, constitutive metaphors influence where legislators believe intervention is needed, ultimately shaping their policy decisions. However, metaphors inherently oversimplify, emphasizing certain aspects while ignoring others. The paper illustrates this argument using the first congressional debates in the U.S. on domestic violence legislation (1977–1978). It demonstrates how the epidemic metaphor emerged and guided policymakers, transforming their approach from victim-focused initiatives to a criminal justice perspective. Revealing the impact of constitutive metaphors on legislative reasoning offers valuable insights into unexpected dynamics within the policymaking process, including unexpected transformations in issue framing.

The Prevalence and Predictors of Workplace Violence Among Hospital Staff

Background: Workplace violence has always been a serious chal-lenge in health care systems. It reduces employees’ satisfaction and productivity, and increases the potential for adverse medical events. This study aimed to determine the prevalence and predictors of workplace violence among hospital clinical staff. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 140 hospital care staff including nurses and paramedics in 2022. The standard questionnaire of WHO on workplace violence in health sector was used to collect data. To describe the quantitative variables, the mean and standard deviations were utilized, and for analyzing the data, multiple logistic regression model was used. The analysis was performed using SPSS 26. Results: The results showed that 47.9% of the participants ex-perienced verbal violence at least once in the past year, and 19.3% experienced sexual violence. Regarding the perpetrators of violence, except for physical violence, colleagues accounted for the highest. Most physical violence cases against the clinical staff were perpetrated by one of the patient’s family members. Gender, marital status, and years of work experience were determined as predictors of workplace violence. Married male employees with limited work experience were disproportionately at risk of workplace violence. Conclusion: Hospital clinical staff were exposed to all kinds of violence, especially verbal violence. Training personnel on the management of workplace violence and enhancing their communication skills and determining the scope, and predictors of workplace violence can help healthcare managers reduce the violence and its complications.

Intersection of Community Violence and Prenatal Substance Exposure: A Spatiotemporal Analysis.

Maternal substance use during pregnancy is a known risk factor for poor birth outcomes and lifelong health consequences. In addition, exposure to domestic and community violence can be associated with adverse birth outcomes. Due to limited research examining public health challenges linked to prenatal substance exposure (PSE)/neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS) at the population level, we examined possible geographic and temporal intersections between (1) community violence and PSE/NAS, and (2) community gun violence and PSE/NAS. We conducted a study using abstracted records of neonates born at a tertiary referral hospital from 2012 to 2019 having a diagnosis code for PSE/NAS (n = 1,523). Cases of community violence were identified using a hospital-based Trauma Registry during the 2012 to 2019 period (n = 1,580). We identified zones of spatial clustering and geographic overlap between community violence and PSE/NAS using emerging hot spot analysis. Geographic and temporal clustering of PSE/NAS occurred. PSE/NAS had statistically significant zones of overlap with community assault cases (New Hot Spot 15 zones, Consecutive 5 zones, Sporadic Hot Spot 62 zones with a p < 0.01). PSE/NAS also clustered with community gun violence (New Hot Spot 11 zones, Consecutive Hot Spot 90 zones, Intensifying Hot Spot 13 zones, Sporadic Hot Spot 20 zones with a p < 0.01). Spatiotemporal overlap occurred between community violence and the adverse neonatal event of PSE/NAS. By allocating resources to identified geographic areas of increased risk, the health of vulnerable communities can be improved. · PSE/NAS geographically and temporally clusters with community violence.. · PSE/NAS geographically and temporally clusters with community gun violence.. · Resources should be provided to communities with increased risk.. · By allocating resources, communities members' health can be improved..

The status of violence against children in China, 2013-2021

Objective: This study aims to obtain the prevalence and features associated with Violence Against Children (VAC) in China and, thus, formulate a prevention strategy. Methods: The mortality-related data of VAC was sourced from the National Disease Surveillance Points System (DSP) during 2013-2021. We analyzed the DSP data regarding children aged 0-17 years old who died from violence. The hospital cases of VAC was sourced from the National Injury Surveillance System (NISS), 2013-2021. We analyzed the data from NISS with the parameter of "intentional injury" caused by VAC in children aged between 0-17 years. Using robust linear regression, we analyze the time trend in the proportion of violence incidence. To understand the variations in the incidence of different types of violence across genders, we apply the chi-square test and adjusted Pearson residuals. Results: The overall trend of death caused by VAC has declined; it was reduced to 0.14/100 000 in 2021 from 0.33/100 000 in 2013. In 2021, male VAC mortality (0.15/100 000) was higher than females (0.13/100 000). The proportion of VAC cases to all injury cases has declined from 3.34% in 2013 to 2.29% in 2021. Among 9 344 VAC cases supervised by hospitals in 2021, the number of males (7 503 cases) was around 4 times that of females (1 841 cases), and the top three modes of violence were blunt tools (64.77%), falls (7.46%) and sharp instruments (6.18%), and 45 cases of sexual violence included 38 girls and 7 boys. Conclusions: The declining death rate due to VAC may be related to the benign development of Chinese society. Prevention strategies targeting training in parenting skills and problem-solving should be prioritized.

No Viral No Justice in the Law Enforcement System: The Study of Domestic Violence

Social media can indirectly have a great influence on the current law enforcement system. In principle, public participation through social media has a positive impact arising from community control on social media, one of which is as an effort in law enforcement to be more transparent and accountable. Regarding cases of domestic violence, in fact, until now, there are still many victims of domestic violence who do not speak up to voice their suffering. Even though the case has gone viral on social media and has received much public attention, the cases will likely be quickly processed by law enforcement officials and escorted by the community on social media, so it is hoped that the victim will get justice. The research method used is descriptive analysis, which describes or provides an overview of the object being researched, either through data or through samples collected as they are. A form of analysis is carried out, and a conclusion is made that applies to the general public.

Perlindungan Hukum Terhadap Kebebasan Pers (Wartawan) Dalam Melakukan Kegiatan Jurnalistik

Introduction: Freedom of the press is fundamental. Freedom is meant in the context of exercising the rights, functions and roles of the press. Journalists as people who carry out these functions and roles, get guaranteed legal protection. In Article 8 of Law No. 40 of 1999 concerning the Press it states "In carrying out their profession journalists receive legal protection". However, in reality, cases of violence, intimidation and threats against journalists are still occurring.Purposes of the Research: Reviewing and discussing whether actions that impede freedom of the press can be held criminally responsible and reviewing and discussing legal protection for freedom of the press (journalists) in conducting journalistic activities.Methods of the Research: The research method used is normative research based on statutory approaches, case approaches and conceptual approaches.Results of the Research: The results of the research found that acts that impede freedom of the press (journalists) in carrying out journalistic activities are criminal acts and for those actions committed, they can be held criminally responsible and can be processed based on applicable law. On the other hand, legal protection from both the government and/or the public for journalists must be carried out with full awareness and a high sense of responsibility so that good synergy is built to create a sense of security for journalists in carrying out their noble duties.

Dynamics of gender justice in the state’s negation of victims of sexual violence

This article examines the complexities surrounding the construction and understanding of gender justice for women victims of sexual violence who are overlooked by the state. Addressing the need for justice for these victims is vital, as women frequently face discriminatory treatment that can lead to victim-blaming. The study uses a qualitative, phenomenological approach based on Creswell's framework, emphasizing the interpretation of 'Gender Justice' through the experiences of key informants, which highlight varied perspectives influenced by their life experiences. The research primarily incorporates Gender and Feminism Theory and Gender Justice to analyze the issue. Key findings reveal a lack of empathy and insufficient training among law enforcement regarding sexual violence cases, along with stigma and intimidation from officers, coupled with inadequate legal protections for victims. Additionally, the legal bureaucracy is convoluted and unresponsive, making the current legal system ineffective in achieving gender justice and often neglecting the rights and needs of sexual violence survivors. These results indicate that the existing legal and governmental frameworks fail to provide equitable gender justice, often overlooking the requirements and rights of survivors. Legal certainty should be clear and consistent; however, in reality, victims often do not experience this certainty. The injustices faced by survivors stem not only from legal shortcomings but also from entrenched discriminatory and patriarchal social norms.

The recent increase in cases of bullying and violence committed by elementary school students is very concerning. Cases of bullying and violence against students also occurred at SDN Kejambon 2, Ngemplak. To overcome this problem, education was carried out to prevent bullying and violence through a behavioristic approach. The aim is to provide education and assistance to students in grades 4, 5 and 6 so that they better understand bullying and violence, recognize types of bullying, provide an understanding of the impacts of bullying, and provide an understanding of things that can be done to avoid bullying behavior. The method used is through a campaign in the form of training related to the ins and outs of bullying and violence by starting with a pre-test to determine students' knowledge, then continuing with training while inviting students to do a sharing session, ending with a post-test so that after the training students can have awareness and mindset that bullying behavior should not be done. The results of the paired sample correlation test showed a correlation coefficient value of 0.609 with a significance value (Sig.) of &lt;0.001. While the Paired Samples Test showed a Sig. (2-tailed) value of &lt;0.001, with an average pre-test value of 60.00 and a post-test result value of 82.39. These results mean that there is an influence of education in increasing the prevention of bullying and violent behavior in students of Kejambon 2 Elementary School. The recommendation for Kejambon 2 Elementary School is to immediately form a task force, have counselors and build synergy with student guardians in order to optimize the handling of bullying in the Kejambon 2 Elementary School environment.
