Analisis Dimensi Efektivitas Program Polri Belajar Terhadap Kinerja Anggota Polri di Polres Sukaharjo

This study investigates the impact of the "POLRI Belajar" program on enhancing the performance of police officers at the Sukoharjo Police Resort. The program aims to improve the knowledge, skills, and work attitudes of officers in addressing the increasingly complex challenges and demands of society. This research employs a quantitative method, with data collected through a survey distributed to 83 program participants. The data is analyzed using multiple linear regression. The analysis results indicate that the three independent variables knowledge, skills, and attitude have a significant impact on performance. Specifically, the knowledge variable (X1) shows a significant influence with a coefficient of 0.630 and a significance value of 0.000. In contrast, the skills variable (X2) also has a significant effect, with a regression coefficient of -0.165 and a significance value of 0.013. Additionally, the attitude variable (X3) demonstrates a significant influence with a regression coefficient of 0.282 and a significance value of 0.000. The study concludes that the "POLRI Belajar" program considerably improves police personnel performance, notably by reinforcing knowledge, abilities, and work attitudes. This conclusion emphasizes the need of continual training inside police organizations and suggests the creation and improvement of such programs in the future. Furthermore, this study opens the door to future in-depth investigations into other elements that may impact police performance.

Defining Crime Prevention: A Study of Swedish Police Officers

Defining Crime Prevention: A Study of Swedish Police Officers Crime prevention is strongly promoted in many countries’ police organizations. However, lack of a clear, agreed definition of the concept could impede its effective implementation. This study addresses associated problems by exploring 15 Swedish police officers’ understanding and definitions of crime-preventive work to characterize their translation of the official definition of crime prevention into operational practice. It was found that the participants had highly heterogeneous understanding and translation of crime prevention but broadly recognized that it consisted of preventing the occurrence, continuation and/or repetition of crime. They also recognized four key types of activities: collaboration, fostering constructive community relations, increasing risks of crime detection and deterrence and cause analysis. The results highlight needs for more coherent definitions of crime prevention and associated strategies to avoid the diversity of interpretations hindering the implementation, evaluation and improvement of crime prevention efforts.

Analyses of Changes in Police Organizations from the New Institutional Perspective

Analyses of Changes in Police Organizations from the New Institutional Perspective

경찰관의 개인-환경적합성과 혁신행동에 관한 연구: 근무기간에 따른 차이를 중심으로

In today's rapidly changing environment, innovative behavior is an important driver of organizational success. Recently, the role of innovative behavior in police organizations has received considerable attention due to the increasing complexity of modern policing. Prior research has shown that employee tenure has a significant impact on engagement in innovative behavior, with long-term employees typically having a deeper understanding of their roles and organizational procedures and thus better able to implement feasible innovations. Conversely, newer employees can bring a fresh perspective but may lack the confidence or organizational knowledge needed to facilitate real change. Therefore, the main objective of this study is to verify whether the environmental fit of police officers makes a significant difference in their innovative behavior based on their tenure. Accordingly, a survey was conducted with the help of the Busan National Police Agency and an empirical analysis was conducted based on the survey data. The results showed that organizational fit (β=.190, p<.01), job fit (β=.450, p<.001), and supervisor fit ( β=.117, p<.05) all had a statistically significant positive effect on innovative behavior in the group with less than 10 years of service. Next, we looked at the 10+ year cohort. The analysis showed that only job fit (β=.542, p<.001) had a statistically significant positive effect on innovation behavior. In sum, there are specific differences in the impact of tenure on innovation behavior. Based on these findings, this study aims to contribute to a broader understanding of how police officers can improve their innovative behavior across career stages. The study also aims to make actionable policy recommendations to tailor police leadership strategies to enhance innovative behavior at all levels.

대한민국 상해 임시정부 경찰의 역할에 관한 연구 - 독립운동 유형을 중심으로

The 「Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea」 promulgated the 「Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea」 on April 25, 1919 and the Provisional Control of the Republic of Korea in November, forming the organization of the Provisional President and the State Council. The 「Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea」 became the cornerstone of the establishment of the police bureau to announce the departure of the police, and although it was changed according to the pending issues of the provisional government, it remained a police agency of the provisional government until August 1945. According to data from the National Police Agency in korea, the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea in Shanghai, China, established the beginning of the police organization as a police bureau immediately afrer its establishment. This study aims to examine the historical implications of today's police forces and types of independence movements based on the Provisional Government of the Republic of Shanghai. It also aims to examine the historical changes of the police and to illuminate the primary purpose of the independence movement in the provisional government. The functions and roles of police in the independence movement during the Shanghai Provisional Government are largely divided into three types. First, it shows the function and type of intelligence police that defend various types of information and search for traffickers in order to protect the provisional government from Japanese(倭) and the safety of factors that campaign for independence. Second, it is a communication system Third, it is the police unit. From the history of the police during the Shanghai Provisional Government to the present role of the police should inherit the police spirit for the Shanghai Provisional Government Independence Movement in order to grow into a memorable organization from the people in the future.

After the incident: measuring organizational (internal) police demand

ABSTRACT Recent studies have sought to estimate the amount of time consumed by police responding to emergency calls for service. And yet, we know that reactive deployed resources represent only part of what police actually spend their time on. After the police clear the scene of an incident, a number of activities will be undertaken, such as reviewing CCTV footage and interviewing suspects, which are immensely time consuming. This paper outlines a novel method for measuring the time consumed on these post-incident activities using individual time estimates from a sample of Dutch detectives nested within eight frontline police teams. We present this novel method, inclusive of preliminary findings and a breakdown of the variance at each level of the data. In addition, we present the current and potential merits this method holds for police practice.

Problematika dan Pengendalian Terminal Bayangan di Indonesia

This research provides insight into the complexity of the shadow terminal phenomenon and how improvements in the public transportation system can provide better solutions to the mobility needs of people in Indonesia. The mix method approach is a qualitative and quantitative method used in this research by conducting in-depth interviews with 15 informants consisting of employees of the Land Transportation Management Center, Transportation Service, Type A official terminal, Police and Land Transport Organization. Second, by distributing 150 questionnaires to shadow terminal users, as well as field observations in affected locations. The research results reveal that several key factors that influence passengers' decisions in using shadow terminals are cost, time and accessibility. People feel compelled to choose shadow terminals because of lower costs, and better speeds, as well as marriage in schedules. The time factor and lack of facilities at the official terminal also trigger passengers to look for alternative transportation. The implication of the phenomenon of the spread of shadow terminals is that there are challenges in maintaining the quality and movement of official public transportation services. Therefore, a holistic solution is needed to improve service quality and meet passenger needs. Some of the recommendations resulting from this research include improving official terminal facilities, improving punctuality, adjusting tariffs to be more affordable, educational campaigns, developing official applications, and collaboration between stakeholders. By overcoming the challenges that arise from this phenomenon, it is hoped that official public transportation services can become more effective and better meet passenger needs.

Challenges and opportunities in implementing and enforcing India's loose cigarette sales ban: A qualitative stakeholder analysis.

Several Indian states have banned the sale of loose cigarettes, and India is considering a national ban. This study examines the perceptions of policymakers, implementers, and law enforcement officials regarding the implementation and enforcement of this ban. Between May-October 2022, we conducted in-depth interviews with 26 key stakeholders involved in tobacco control in two Indian cities, Delhi (where the ban was not implemented) and Mumbai (where the ban was in effect). Participants included representatives from various government departments such as police, municipal corporations, FDA, health, and civil society organizations / NGOs such as Vital Strategies, World Health Organization, International Union against Tuberculosis and Lung Disease, and local NGOs. Interviews explored policy awareness, implementation and enforcement status, and factors influencing implementation and enforcement of the ban. Interview transcripts were organized in NVivo, and reflexive thematic analysis was conducted. In Mumbai, awareness of the ban was poor among implementers and law enforcers, including FDA, municipal, and police officials, while it was higher among health department officials and NGOs directly involved in tobacco control. Participants from Mumbai expressed that the implementation and enforcement of the ban was poor and loose cigarettes were still widely available. Main barriers to policy implementation included unclear implementation guidelines, poor awareness among tobacco vendors, limited resources, and lack of stakeholder commitment for tobacco control. Participants from both the cities emphasized the need for a vendor licensing system, imposing hefty penalties, imparting health education, and a multi-sectoral approach for effective policy implementation and enforcement. Limited awareness of the ban and continued sale of loose cigarettes highlight gaps in policy implementation and enforcement. Effective policy implementation and enforcement requires raising awareness regarding the policy, adopting a tobacco vendor licensing system, and establishing clear implementation guidelines involving a multi-sectoral approach.

Resolving the Papua Conflict: A Multidimensional Approach and the Role of Interagency Cooperation

The conflict in Papua is the longest-running conflict in Indonesia. It began when Indonesia claimed the entire Dutch East Indies territory, including West Papua, on August 17, 1945, leading to prolonged escalation of the conflict. This research aims to analyze conflict resolution in Papua through a multidimensional approach and the role of interagency cooperation to achieve peace in Papua. The methodology used in this research is qualitative method to discover new understandings and provide recommendations for conflict resolution using the concept of interagency cooperation. Findings indicate that the conflict in Papua involves various dimensions, including social, economic, political, cultural, and security aspects. Despite being granted special autonomy, economic disparities and human rights violations continue to persist. Conflict resolution requires coordinated interagency cooperation, involving the government, military, police, NGOs, and international organizations to achieve sustainable peaceful resolution.

Project Double Barrel: Crime Rate and Experiences of the Implementers in the Municipality of Diplahan, Zamboanga Sibugay

This study aimed to determine the crime rate in the Municipality of Diplahan, Zamboanga Sibugay in the calendar years 2013-2015 and 2016-2018. Specifically, this study described the index and non-index crimes prior to and during the implementation of the project double barrel and whether significant differences existed on the crime profiles prior to and during the project. It also aimed to identify the experiences encountered by the imple-menters of the project under CMC 16 2. 2016. Archived data were taken from police blotters and crime statistics given by the PNP Personnel in Diplahan Police Station and employed the qualita-tive design using in-depth interview to generate and explore the experiences of the PNP Personnel and Barangay Captains before and during the implementation of the project. Thematic analysis was then applied to generate codes and themes that described the experiences of the participant-interviewees. Findings re-vealed the decrease in index crimes, which include serious of-fenses like murder, theft, and robbery, suggests an improvement in public safety. The heightened police presence and visibility likely acted as a deterrent to violent and property crimes, con-tributing to a more secure environment in public areas. There is a need for a multifaceted approach to improving law enforce-ment's effectiveness and ethical standards in addressing drug-related crimes. Integration of advanced technologies and en-hanced coordination among agencies to improve operations and monitoring capabilities and collaboration with external organi-zations focuses on rehabilitation and prevention, while inde-pendent oversight mechanisms and regular reviews are also needed to ensure accountability, transparency, and continuous improvement of policies and drug related operations. Stronger collaboration between police, local governments, NGOs, and health organizations is also necessary to reinforce community-based rehabilitation efforts and preventive measures. Providing mental health support for officers is equally important, as it im-proves their well-being, reduces burnout, and fosters ethical de-cision-making under high-pressure situations. Comprehensive training for officers is vital to prepare them for the complexities of the drug campaign, improving operational effectiveness and promoting accountability within the force.

Student officer research projects: Evidence-based knowledge embedded into policing practice?

Modern policing is faced with a rapidly changing landscape which continues to present new challenges and opportunities to policing (NPCC, 2015). With limited resources, it is hoped policing education will support police services to deal with these challenges through embedding evidence-based practices (Mitchell and Lewis, 2017). The large number of new recruits from the police uplift provides an exciting opportunity to incorporate these practices into operational policing (Lum and Koper, 2017; Pepper et al., 2020). The purpose of this study was to investigate evidence-based research projects produced by student police officers and explore whether they provide knowledge that is relevant and embedded into policing practice. Using qualitative methods data was gathered from key informants and graduates from the University of South Wales' five established police partners in England and Wales. The findings identified that knowledge from the projects was being disseminated within the police organisations, and that student police officers were informally applying evidence-based knowledge they had gained from their research projects in their day-to-day operational policing roles, and some were transferring this knowledge as tutors and supervisors. This study concluded that research projects produced by student officers can have a direct impact and contribution to policing practice and policy. However, to capitalise on this opportunity police services would benefit from developing formalised processes to embed this knowledge into practice.

Online en offline bedreiging en intimidatie bij jongeren

Online and offline threats and intimidation among youngsters – A comparison Around 1 in 5 youngsters in the Netherlands experiences online violence. They often become victims of online threats and intimidation. This can have severe emotional and psychological consequences. Girls and lgbtq+ youth are more frequently affected by online violence and suffer greater impact than boys and heterosexual peers. Online and offline violence often overlap, complicating victim experiences. Despite increasing attention and support services, many young victims struggle to find help. It is recommended that police and support organizations address the overlap between online and offline violence. Next to that specialized training regarding the influence of gender norms and heteronormativity is needed.

De toekomst van politieleiderschap

The future of police leadership Our society is in constant change, due to a variety of social developments. This presents a significant challenge for the police organization. It is essential that employees, the organization, and leaders can handle this challenge in a resilient and vital manner. What does this require from police leadership, both now and in the future? There is a need for leaders who are focused on society and who connect with colleagues on a personal level. Leaders can enhance or diminish the well-being, work engagement, and performance of employees through their intrinsic motivation. They can do so by inspiring, facilitating, developing, and connecting with them, or by hindering them in these aspects. Research shows that to enable leaders to exhibit this type of engaging leadership more frequently, various organizational conditions are important; such as span of support, workload, role clarity and autonomy of leaders, and the degree of centralization within the organization.

경찰대학 존폐에 관한 입법정책적 연구 - 경찰대학 존폐론을 둘러싼 쟁점 논의를 중심으로

The Korean National Police University was established in 1981 based on the Korean National Police University Establishment Act enacted on December 28, 1979. According to the Korean National Police University Establishment Act, which is the basis for the establishment of the Korean National Police University, there are provisions for granting various benefits to students of the Korean National Police University, such as exemption from tuition, appointment as inspector, and preferential military service, thereby providing a foundation for the Korean National Police University to recruit excellent, high-level talents for the police organization and foster elite police officers. 40 years have passed since the opening of the Korean National Police University, and many police-related departments, including police administration, are newly established and maintained at four-year general universities. In a situation where the majority of police personnel are college graduates or higher, through open competitive recruitment examinations for police officers, questions cannot help but be raised about the purpose of the establishment of the Korean National Police University, which was established to foster entry-level police officers. Considering the criteria for judgment, such as the Constitutional Court’s past decisions on the unconstitutionality of hiring graduates from public and private colleges of education and the constitutionality of the abolition of the Tax College, the legitimacy of the abolition of the Korea National Police University seems sufficient. Despite the reform and innovation of Korea National the Police University during the Moon Jae-in administration in 2018, the controversy over the existence of the Korea National Police University has not yet subsided. In this paper, we examine the main issues related to the existence of the Korea National Police University, including first, whether it conforms to the purpose of establishing the Korea National Police University; second, whether the appointment of superintendents is unfair; third, whether it causes withdrawal from the police organization; and fourth, whether it causes conflict within the police organization. We also suggest legislative policy improvement measures regarding the existence of the Korea National Police University.

Steering a path to cultural change: Emerging and enduring characteristics of policing cultures in the UK

In the 25 years since the first issue of the International Journal of Police Science & Management was published, policing has undergone significant change as a result of economic, political and social change. Yet this period has unfortunately been bookended by the Macpherson Report in 1999 and the Casey Review in 2023, both highly critical of the occupational cultures within policing. This article takes the issue of policing cultures and examines the extent to which early ethnographic writings on the everyday realities of policing reflect the cultures of today and examines the potential and the desire for both continued research in this area and for cultural change itself. An understanding of cultural characteristics as individual layers contributing to the overall sedimentation of policing practices enables us to see how change, albeit slowly, can potentially happen. The article also suggests, however, that the tendency towards conformity within policing – in terms of both conforming to organisational working practices and norms and conforming to informal occupational cultures – puts pressure on everyone within the policing organisation to ‘fit in’, restricting difference, challenge and ultimately, significant change. A better understanding of the deep roots of occupational cultures within policing and an appreciation of both its benefits and appeal is necessary for a whole organisation approach to reform.

Navigating values: leadership behaviors for enhancing police organizational identity

PurposeThis study investigates the differential effectiveness of leadership styles within the German Federal Police Office, focusing on how these styles interact with employees' personal values to influence organizational identification (OI). Thus, we investigate the augmentation hypothesis and explore the moderating effects of personal values on leadership effectiveness regarding OI.Design/methodology/approachUtilizing a quantitative cross-sectional design, the study analyzes responses from 1,816 police employees via the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire and Portraits Value Questionnaire. Hierarchical regressions are used to analyze the hypothesized associations.FindingsThe results indicate that transformational leadership significantly enhances OI more than transactional or laissez-faire leadership. Moderating effects of personal values reveal complex interactions: while transformational leadership consistently predicts higher OI, transactional leadership’s effectiveness varies according to the employees' values such as Conformity and Tradition enhancing OI, Universalism and Benevolence diminishing it. These findings suggest that leadership effectiveness in policing is contingent on aligning leadership style with the personal values of the employees.Originality/valueThis research contributes to the understanding of how personal values modulate the impact of leadership styles on organizational outcomes within police organizations. It underscores the necessity for police leaders to consider the value profiles of their employees to optimize OI and effectiveness. The study is among the first to systematically explore these dynamics within a law enforcement context, providing empirical evidence to inform targeted leadership development and policy-making in policing.

A Systematic Review of Self-Determination Theory’s Application in Military and Police Organizations

A Systematic Review of Self-Determination Theory’s Application in Military and Police Organizations

Legal regulation of police organization and operations: European experience

The article examines the challenges of applying European experience in legal regulation of police organization and activities to Ukrainian legislation in the context of European integration processes. The author analyzes the current state of reforming the National Police of Ukraine, identifying key problems and challenges in implementing European standards in law enforcement activities. The paper discusses key aspects of adapting national legislation to European Union norms, particularly in human rights protection and public safety. Special attention is paid to analyzing the Law of Ukraine “On National Police” for compliance with international standards of police accountability and public oversight mechanisms. The author identifies main obstacles to effective implementation of European experience in Ukrainian police activities. These include insufficient regulation of public control mechanisms, lack of ratification of important international documents, the need to improve information and analytical support, and overcoming the “force-based” model in favor of a “service-based” approach. The article emphasizes the need to transform not only the legislative framework but also the mindset of police officers and society as a whole. It examines the implementation of new forms of policing, such as patrol police and dialogue police, as well as the application of modern technologies and analytical methods. Special attention is paid to anti-corruption issues in the law enforcement system and ensuring proper resource support for police activities, especially under martial law conditions. The author emphasizes the importance of further improving the regulatory framework to ensure effective protection of citizens’ rights and freedoms, increasing police transparency, and strengthening public interaction. The conclusions emphasize the need for a comprehensive approach to reforming Ukraine’s law enforcement system, considering European experience while taking into account national specificities and current challenges facing the country.

Information Hiding and Digital Transformation: Strategies for First Information Reports (FIR) and Police Records

Throughout the last few years, it has become increasingly obvious that everything is moving from a traditional world to a digital one. In order for police organizations to remain competitive, they need to keep up with the rapid technological advancements that are taking place in order to stay ahead of the competition. The First Information Report (FIR) in South Asian and Southeast Asian countries is a legal document which provides police with information about an apparent crime which has been reported to them by the victims of crimes. It is part of the police's investigation process. The police still have a difficult time getting accurate information from victims in terms of what exactly occurred during the incident, which makes getting accurate information from them very difficult. The filing of a police report presents a wide range of challenges as far as police organizations are concerned. There is a major challenge in the investigation of crimes involving victims concealing information about critical knowledge subsets and the complexity of these sets from the police authorities. For police records to be managed effectively it requires an organisational transformation that is driven by well-established digital strategies that offer an overall view and full transparency of both the knowledge about FIRs as well as the access to them. There is no doubt that an organization such as a police force cannot underestimate the importance of adopting the right technologies and frameworks as part of its digital transformation strategy in order to be able to meet the needs of its customers. The challenge of solving the long-standing problem of police organizations with limited resources concealing knowledge is going to be a long-term task that can be quite challenging. This paper presents several strategies and best practices which can be adopted by law enforcement organizations so that they can successfully transform digitally and achieve their goals through the implementation of these strategies and best practices.

Trade Based Money Laundering: uitdagingen en ontwikkelingen binnen de opsporing

Trade-Based Money Laundering: challenges and developments in the Netherlands Trade-Based Money Laundering (TBML) is a phenomenon in which assets of criminal origin are moved and/or concealed and/or layered through trade transactions. Recently, police organizations and other parties have paid more attention to this issue. As a trading nation, the Netherlands is vulnerable to this form of money laundering. In this article, the author discusses the challenges in detecting TBML. TBML is difficult to detect because it can theoretically involve all goods and has various manifestations. Relevant information is scattered among various public and private agencies. Third-party payments and the frequent international component of TBML further complicate detection. Exchanging data between Customs and FIOD could contribute to faster detection of TBML activities. Matching customs data at the international level could also lead to earlier detection.
