Abstract

Background: Police education in Indonesia is largely based on legalistic and managerial paradigms that almost completely ignore sociocultural aspects. While no single mechanism accounts for this misleading tendency, such bias nonetheless continues to distort supposedly reforming policies that stray far from field realities particularly in multicultural societies where police-community interactions carry cultural dimensions that exceed mere contextual differences. Objective: This study analyzes the contribution of police anthropology to strengthening the curriculum and learning models that Lemdiklat Polri produces toward integrative model implementation. Methods: A qualitative, interpretive literature review of Polri policy documents, semi-structured interviews (8 key informants), and critical discourse analysis were employed in this study. Thematic analysis was performed to identify themes related to curriculum challenges and sociocultural aspects. Results: The findings showed that the current course content is largely grounded in law and procedure, resulting in officers with technical competence but lacking knowledge of cultural norms, intercultural communication skills, or adequate negotiation techniques. The study subsequently developed an integrative framework MIAP-POLRI to incorporate police anthropology (emic perspectives, participatory ethnography, and culturally grounded learning methods) as a core component of the proposed training model. Conclusion: Police anthropology has the potential to elevate police education, and therefore professionalism, operational effectiveness, and public trust. A shift from procedural compliance-based policing to a fully community-centered and human-centered practice contributes to theory building while generating pragmatic policy recommendations for redesigning the training program for the Indonesian police.

Abstract

Traditional defensive landscapes in Toraja, South Sulawesi, represent important archaeological traces of past conflict, yet they have received limited attention within Indonesian conflict archaeology. This study aimed to examine how traditional defense sites in Toraja reflect historical conflict, environmental adaptation, and collective memory. The research employed a qualitative approach by integrating archaeological survey, documentation of defensive structures, landscape mapping, semi-structured interviews with local informants, and analysis of archival and historical sources. The study focused on four main sites: Ka'do To'ria Fort, Tangdi Rompo Silanan Fort, Buntu Pune, and Batu Tengan/Kandora Hill. The findings showed that these sites utilized mountainous topography, karst hills, vertical cliffs, narrow access routes, stone walls, wells, surveillance points, and defensive vegetation as strategic elements of protection. The remains indicate responses to intergroup conflict, regional political pressure, and Dutch colonial expansion. The discussion also revealed that oral traditions concerning Pongtiku, To Barani, and territorial defense continue to preserve these sites as symbols of identity, resistance, and communal memory. In conclusion, Toraja’s traditional defensive landscapes are not merely physical remnants of warfare, but integrated cultural landscapes that connect material evidence, spatial strategy, and collective memory. This study contributes to conflict archaeology and supports community-based heritage preservation in Toraja.

Abstract

Historic vehicles represent an important category of movable cultural heritage because they contain historical values, technological development, and collective memories of societies. However, the preservation of military vehicles in Indonesia remains limited, particularly regarding their transformation from functional war equipment into cultural identity symbols. This study aims to reconstruct the transformation process of military jeep vehicles, particularly Willys MB and Ford GPW, from instruments of warfare during the Indonesian independence period into cultural heritage objects within the urban community of Bandung. This research employed a qualitative ethnoarchaeological approach by combining material culture analysis and community ethnography. Data were collected through participatory observation, in-depth interviews with historical jeep communities, artifact documentation, and analysis using cultural biography theory, collective memory theory, and the Burra Charter framework. The results reveal three transformation phases: (1) 1945–1960, when jeeps functioned as combat and guerrilla mobility instruments; (2) 1960–1990, when they shifted into civilian utility vehicles; and (3) 1990–present, when preservation communities transformed them into symbols of historical memory and urban identity. The discussion shows that preservation practices, public commemorative activities, and community narratives play significant roles in maintaining the cultural meaning of these vehicles. This study concludes that historic jeeps are not merely technological artifacts but dynamic heritage objects that contribute to collective memory, national identity, and community-based heritage preservation in Indonesia.

Abstract

This literature review article examines the empirical relationships between leadership style, work discipline, and job satisfaction among police personnel. Law enforcement organizations operate in complex, high-risk environments where leadership quality, behavioral discipline, and psychological well-being of officers significantly shape organizational effectiveness and service quality. Drawing on empirical studies published between 2015 and 2025, this review synthesizes findings from policing and public-sector contexts to identify dominant leadership styles, disciplinary mechanisms, and job satisfaction determinants within police institutions. The review follows a structured literature review methodology, involving systematic identification, screening, and narrative synthesis of peer-reviewed journal articles and institutional studies. The findings reveal consistent evidence that transformational and ethical leadership styles positively influence work discipline and job satisfaction, while authoritarian or rigid leadership approaches often generate compliance without sustained satisfaction. Work discipline emerges as both an outcome of leadership practices and a mediating factor influencing job satisfaction and performance. Job satisfaction is found to be shaped by leadership fairness, organizational justice, workload management, and career development opportunities. The synthesis further highlights contextual moderators such as organizational culture, hierarchical structures, and public accountability pressures. This review contributes to the literature by integrating leadership, discipline, and satisfaction into a unified analytical framework specific to policing. The article concludes by emphasizing the need for leadership development strategies that balance authority and support, promote internal discipline through fairness rather than coercion, and enhance job satisfaction to sustain professional policing performance.

Abstract

Compensation systems and career development are central human resource levers that influence work motivation within police organizations. This literature review synthesizes empirical and conceptual studies published between 2015 and 2025 to examine how monetary and non monetary compensation, promotion policies, career pathways, and professional development opportunities determine motivation among police personnel. The review employs a structured literature search across academic databases, followed by qualitative synthesis of twenty five peer reviewed articles and institutional reports. Findings indicate that compensation fairness and transparency, alignment of rewards with performance, and clear merit based promotion systems enhance extrinsic motivation while career development initiatives foster intrinsic motivation, professional identity, and long term retention. Career development that includes mentorship, competency frameworks, and continuous training strengthens affective commitment which amplifies motivational effects from compensation. Contextual moderators such as organizational culture, budgetary constraints, unionization, and national employment norms shape the magnitude of these relationships. Notable tensions appear when compensation policies prioritize seniority over competency, creating misalignment between motivational incentives and desired behavioral outcomes. The review highlights methodological gaps including limited longitudinal studies, inconsistent operationalization of motivation, and scarce research on combined effects of compensation systems and career development in police settings. Practical implications emphasize integrated HR strategies that balance equitable compensation with transparent career development mechanisms to sustain motivation and organizational performance. The article concludes with a research agenda calling for longitudinal mixed method studies, cross jurisdictional comparisons, and experimental evaluations of incentive structures in policing contexts.

Abstract

Palopo City was once the seat of the Luwu Kingdom and retains conflict archaeology remains from several historical periods, ranging from internal succession conflicts and Islamization to colonial contestation and post-independence resistance. This study aims to identify these conflict archaeology remains and to analyze the potential and challenges of utilizing them as sources for local history education. A qualitative descriptive approach was used, combining archaeological methods (observation, description, contextual analysis) with historical methods (source criticism, explanation, historiography), with data collected through field observation, literature review, and interviews with ten informants comprising three History/Social Studies teachers, two Museum Batara Guru curators, one caretaker of the Lokkoe Royal Tomb Complex, one administrator of the Jami' Tua Mosque of Palopo,  and two representatives from the Palopo City Cultural Affairs and Education Offices. The findings identify four categories of conflict archaeology remains and confirm through interview data that while the first three site categories have been mentioned in classroom instruction as local content and visited through Education Office programs, their utilization remains unsystematic, dependent on individual teacher initiative, and constrained by scheduling, permits, and sensitivity of certain narratives. Each category holds significant educational potential that remains underutilized, while facing specific challenges related to site sanctity, accessibility, narrative complexity, and the scarcity of primary sources. The study recommends differentiated utilization strategies and cross-sector coordination among site managers, the cultural affairs office, and the education office, anchored in Palopo City Regional Regulation Number 8 of 2014.
