Analisis Dinamika Sosial dan Ekonomi Pelaku Kasus Perjudian Online dalam Sudut Pandang Money Laundry

Online gambling has become a rapidly growing social issue supported by advancements in digital technology, particularly in Indonesia, with its large population of internet users. Despite being legally prohibited, its popularity continues to rise, creating challenges for law enforcement and significant socio-economic impacts. This study aims to analyze the social and economic dynamics of online gambling actors using a descriptive qualitative method. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and document analysis, then analyzed using thematic coding techniques. The findings reveal that actors, such as Koh Jimmy, learn deviant behaviors through exclusive online communities that provide operational techniques and moral justification. Economic motivation, social support, and gambling systems designed to induce addiction are key drivers of actor involvement. Although aware of legal risks, actors remain engaged due to community influence and substantial financial gains. This study underscores the relevance of differential association theory in explaining actor involvement in online gambling and provides recommendations for preventive policies through technological oversight, social education, and the strengthening of social norms. The results are expected to serve as a foundation for formulating more effective preventive and intervention measures.

Differential association theory, the Dark Triad of personality and the prediction of antisocial behaviour

Research has not investigated differential association theory alongside personality traits in predicting antisocial behaviour. The current study, consisting of 348 adults (M = 34.7 years, 66.1% female) from the general public, investigated how well differential association theory, alongside the Dark Triad, predicts antisocial behaviour. Results of standard multiple regression analyses indicated: (1) narcissism, Machiavellianism and psychopathy positively predicted antisocial behaviour, (2) total psychopathy was a significantly stronger predictor (p < .001, 95 % CI [0.02, 0.05]) of antisocial behaviour than narcissism or Machiavellianism, and, (3) lifestyle features were a significantly stronger predictor (β = 0.33, p < .001) of antisocial behaviour than interpersonal/affective features. A hierarchical regression analysis indicated: (4) narcissism, Machiavellianism and total psychopathy predicted a significant amount of additional variance in antisocial behaviour, after accounting for the influence of individual definitions and others’ definitions of crime. These findings may provide target areas for interventions in reducing antisocial behaviour.

Exploring Juvenile Delinquency: An in-depth Analysis through the Lens of Differential Association Theory

Abstract: This study delves into the intricate dynamics of adolescent juvenile delinquency by examining the Lens of the Differential Association Theory. Focused on the unique context of adolescents at SMAN 21 Bandung, the study employs qualitative research methods to explore the multifaced relationships between differential association Dynamics and juvenile delinquency. Through in-depth analysis, including comprehensive interviews, observations, and literature reviews, the research sheds light on how adolescents learn and internalize deviant behaviours within their deviant subculture. The findings indicate that deviant behaviour develops a learning process where deviance is perceived as something. Additionally, deviant behaviour is the behaviour of fellow perpetrators in deviant subcultures, establishing an environment in which they feel secure engaging in delinquent activities since there is no one to interfere or report them. The existence of negative interactions serves as a trigger for teenagers to engage in delinquency, highlighting the need for increased supervision from parents and teachers. Furthermore, it is necessary to implement tactics to tackle teenage delinquency within educational institutions, aiming to deter their engagement in deviant behaviours.

Exploring Child Grooming Sexual Abuse through Differential Association Theory: A Criminological and Legal Examination with Constitutional Implications

The rapid evolution of technology, particularly the ubiquitous presence of the internet, has brought about significant societal changes. While technological advancements have brought numerous benefits, they have also introduced new challenges and risks. Among these challenges is the alarming rise of child grooming, a form of sexual harassment perpetrated against minors, facilitated by the online environment. In Indonesia, the incidence of child grooming is increasingly prevalent, with several reported cases highlighting its emergence as a pressing societal issue. However, the absence of specific legal frameworks addressing this crime has posed significant challenges for law enforcement authorities tasked with its prevention and prosecution. The lack of dedicated legislation targeting child grooming underscores the need for a comprehensive legal response to effectively combat this form of exploitation. Currently, law enforcement officials rely on discretion in the absence of specific legal provisions, resulting in ad-hoc approaches to addressing these cases. This paper employs a normative juridical approach, utilizing The Statute Approach, to examine the legal landscape surrounding child grooming in Indonesia. By synthesizing existing literature and statutory regulations, this study aims to shed light on the legal complexities inherent in combating this emerging crime. In conclusion, while child grooming remains a relatively new phenomenon in Indonesia, its detrimental impact on minors necessitates urgent legislative action. By enacting dedicated laws and policies, the Indonesian government can provide law enforcement agencies with the necessary tools to effectively address and mitigate the prevalence of child grooming, ensuring the protection and well-being of the nation's youth.

Nigeria’s Defense Regulative System and National Security: Implications of Arms Smuggling and Trafficking in Nigeria

Nigeria as a nation is battling with threats to its internal security as a result of the pervasive state of insecurity ranging from arms smuggling, trafficking and proliferation across the country’s porous borders, to insurgency, banditry, militancy, herdsmen attacks, and succession threats, among others. This study critically accessed Nigeria’s defense regulatory system and national security in curbing arms smuggling, proliferation and trafficking. The theoretical framework adopted for this study was Differential Association Theory (DAT) and Queer Ladder Theory (QLT). The paper adopted a descriptive research method and relied heavily on secondary sources of data from textbooks, journals, newspapers and the Internet. The study findings revealed that the factors responsible for arms smuggling, trafficking and proliferation are occasioned primarily by the weak institutional implementation of the legal provisions due to corruption, which also negatively influences other endogenous factors like porous borders, poverty, unemployment, huge illicit financial benefits that accrue to arms smuggling and traffickers and ethnic-religious clashes. The study therefore recommended among others, the need for the government to implement strategies to forestall insecurity in the country as well as the need for the promotion of social capital and welfare by actively engaging the nation’s scarce resources in making the productive sectors of the economy more viable, which should form the core responsibility of government. The views contained therein contribute to knowledge, as well, serves as a catalyst to further studies, given the number of references made for further review.

Analysis of Narcotics Circulation in Riau Province; inherited and studied in the View of Criminology Integrative Theory

&lt;p class="TableParagraph"&gt;&lt;em&gt;The rise of narcotics smuggling in Indonesia is a complex issue that requires a comprehensive explanation. The use of integration theory, specifically the integration of Cultural Transmission and Differential Association, can provide a better understanding of the phenomenon of narcotics crime in urban areas. Cultural Transmission theory suggests that individuals learn their values, beliefs, and behaviors through the process of socialization within their culture. This theory highlights the role of family, peer groups, and the media in shaping an individual's attitudes and behaviors towards drugs. The theory argues that individuals who are exposed to drug use at an early age are more likely to engage in drug use themselves. On the other hand, Differential Association theory suggests that individuals learn deviant behaviors from their associations with others. The theory posits that individuals who associate with those who engage in deviant behavior, such as drug use, are more likely to adopt those behaviors themselves. By integrating these two theories, we can better understand the complex phenomenon of narcotics crime in Indonesia. The use of rat ports as entry points for illegal drugs can be explained by the influence of cultural transmission, where individuals are exposed to drug use through their socialization process. Furthermore, the use of these rat ports can also be explained by differential association, where individuals who associate with drug smugglers are more likely to engage in the smuggling of narcotics themselves. Overall, the integration of Cultural Transmission and Differential Association theory provides a more nuanced understanding of the complex phenomenon of narcotics crime in Indonesia. By considering the various factors that contribute to the rise of narcotics smuggling, we can develop more effective strategies to combat this issue.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Homelessness, Offending, Victimization, and Criminal Legal System Contact

There is now a sizable literature on connections between homelessness, crime, and criminal legal system contact. We review studies on these relationships, focusing mostly on links between the adversity that often characterizes homelessness—the need for shelter, food, and income—and offending, victimization, and involvement with the criminal legal system. We concentrate on multivariate studies from the United States and Canada and consider research on youth and adults. We begin with a short discussion of some of the challenges of studying these relationships. We follow our review of research on homeless conditions with a summary of research that has used data from homeless samples to advance a broad array of explanations of crime; a collection that includes strain, routine activities and lifestyle exposure, differential association, social control, rational choice, life course, and criminal capital theories.
