Policing and politics of law enforcement in Nigeria’s fourth republic

ABSTRACT Historically, policing and law enforcement operations of the Nigeria Police Force have generally been characterised by covert and overt politicisation. Against this background, this article critically analysed the politicisation of policing and law enforcement in Nigeria’s fourth republic. It argues that the influence of politics on the enforcement of the law by the police agency manifests under different guises and circumstances at both the macro and micro levels. Police personnel are not only routinely being used by politicians and the ruling class to further their own personal political gains, the management and operational philosophy of the agency are also often a product of systematic politicisation and power struggles amongst groups. Consequently, the overall service delivery capacity of the Nigeria Police Force is being hampered by politicisation.

PENGADILAN TINDAK PIDANA KORUPSI DAN TINDAK PIDANA PENCUCIAN UANG

The act of corruption is a violation of every person’s life as stipulated in Article 28A of the 1945 Constitution. As a result of corruption that has been detrimental to the country’s finance or the country’s economy, it also impedes the growth and sustainability of demanding national development high efficiency. For this corruption case, a court for corruption case has been established. Meanwhile, Money Laundering as stipulated in Law No. 8 of 2010 concerning Prevention and Eradication of Money Laundering Crimes, does not have a special court but is often put together with a court of corruption. A court of corruption is the only court that has the authority to examine, hear, and decide the cases of corruption and money laundering crimes whose original crime is a criminal act of corruption; and/or criminal acts which are explicitly stated in other laws as criminal acts of corruption. The problem is how the litigation of corruption and criminal acts of money laundering are incorporated in an indictment of corruption and money laundering.
 This study used the descriptive method with a normative juridical approach. Data collection was carried out through library studies by collecting data in the form of legal materials; primary, secondary and tertiary legal materials. The analysis technique of this study was descriptive analysis that analyze the process and institutions based on legislation.
 The results of this study showed that the Corruption Eradication Act regulates materially and formally, so there are exceptions to the principles that are generally regulated in the Criminal Code (KUHP), Criminal Procedure Code (KUHAP) (Lex Specialist Derogate lex Generalis). The modes of money laundering are carried out in various ways. Judging from TPPU modes, it seemed true that TPPU is a stand-alone crime when using cumulative charges is more appropriate. The legal policy of the Corruption Crime Act and Money Laundering Lay (TPPU) related to the rule of law which is the basis of legality for Beneficial Ownership Criminal Liability (BO) as well as its position in Deelneming theory is a topic that must be formulated n the Action Bill Criminal Crime and Money Laundering Crime Bill (TPPU), whether effective evidence for Beneficial Owners (BO), doctrinal or the teaching snares. In the future politics of law enforcement in eradicating corruption and TPPU leads to Beneficial Ownerds (BO) is not enough as long as only the physical actors or stop at the actors revealed in the investigation. Besides the beneficial owner, it is also necessary to regulate criminal liability for legal entities that are used to save the proceeds of money laundering

‘THE MAN WITH THE POWDER PUFF’ IN INTERWAR LONDON

This article explores the historically specific use of cosmetic commodities as evidence in prosecutions for importuning in interwar London. Taking as its point of departure the story of ‘the man with the powder puff’ told in the journal John Bull in 1925, it moves to consider the discrete but intersecting histories within which cosmetics came to function as a material sign of deviant masculinity, illicit sexuality, and de facto criminality. The process through which a powder puff could be deployed as evidence in court depended upon a particular understanding of sexual difference. It was embedded in the emergence of a vibrant consumer beauty culture in the 1920s. It took shape within the operational practices of the Metropolitan Police, particularly the explosive politics of law enforcement after the First World War. It emerged, finally, in response to profound anxieties about the war's disruptive impact on British culture. In understanding the story of ‘the man with the powder puff’, I argue, we might more fully understand the cultural landscape of post-First World War Britain.

Reciprocity, Collective Action, and Community Policing

This Article has two goals. The first is to develop a theoretical framework for evaluating different techniques for policing street crime. The second is to highlight the explanatory and prescriptive power of a particular theory of norms and law. Recent years have witnessed the emergence of a diverse array of crime-fighting strategies-from order maintenance policing to churchpolice alliances to highly participatory forms of law enforcement. These innovations arguably deserve a significant share of the credit for the remarkable drop in crime during the last decade. They also speak to a dramatic reorientation in the politics of law enforcement: for decades a weapon by which dominant groups safeguarded their preeminence, streetlevel policing is now being recast by traditionally marginalized groups as a tool for revitalizing community life in the inner city.' But the proponents of the Community have so far failed to identify a single theory of crime control that is comparable in parsimony and prescriptive richness to the rational-actor model that animates traditional policing strategies. The absence of such a theory threatens to impede the New Community Policing by making its claims of efficacy less credible and its diverse strategies less amenable to comparison with one another. Almost contemporaneously with the development of the New Community Policing, the legal academy has witnessed the emergence of a sustained challenge to the conventional rational-actor theory that guides law and economics. This program features a diverse array of behavioral phenomena, often referred to generically as social norms, drawn from

The Teamsters, the White House, the Labor Department

This paper examines the instrumental networks established between organized criminals and national politicians. Its major focus centers on the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, the Department of Labor, and the Reagan Administration. We explore the organized crime influence that affected President Reagan's selection of Raymond Donovan as Secretary of Labor. The choice of Donovan resulted in several related investigations into Donovan's association with organized criminals primarily in the construction industry in New Jersey and New York. We explain and critique the investigations thereby establishing the instrumental quality of the networks and the politics of law enforcement.
