The study was intended to determine the development of police science through a transdisciplinary approach. Therefore in this study, the researcher used the literature review-based method to understand the object of the study. The instrument of the study was using literature approach. This writing shows that in developing the police as a form of science and discipline, police science must integrate with other sciences and disciplines. Police science can use perspectives, paradigms and even methodologies developed by other sciences to develop themselves to obtain a more comprehensive and detailed understanding, thus further assisting in the analysis process by police science. The process of developing police science as a science that integrates with other sciences can be seen from the existence of police anthropology. Police anthropology is a sub-discipline resulting from the transdisciplinary relationship between police science and anthropology. Police science in police anthropology began to focus on "police" or "police" (its institutional form) tied to social practices, where "policemen" create, maintain, and invest in existing socialities in different ways. Understanding "police" is not limited to security apparatus, law enforcement or formal community institutions. However, furthermore, there is an aspect of breadth in the concept of "police" which cannot be separated from society’s social world. The development of police understanding tied to the existing social structure enables police science to explore local-national and global problems. This is considering that most people already have cross-border connectivity due to information and digital technology development.

This study examines how the physical spatial arrangement of Police Resort Headquarters (Mapolres) in Indonesia represents and reproduces power relations, internal hierarchy, unit segregation, and the institution’s relationship with the surrounding community. Using a qualitative approach with architectural discourse analysis and geospatial netnography, this research utilizes online data such as Google Street View images, user‑uploaded photos on Google Maps, YouTube virtual tour videos, and photos from online news portals. A purposive sample of 10 Mapolres was selected from rural (4 locations), semi‑urban (3 locations), and urban (3 locations) areas on the islands of Java and Sumatra. The analysis is guided by the frameworks of the sociology of space (Lefebvre, 1991), architecture of power (Foucault, 1977), and dramaturgy (Goffman, 1959). The results show three main findings. First, internal hierarchy is represented through the centralized and protected location of leadership offices (upper floors or end of corridors), ceremonial yards that place leaders in a central position, and rank‑based access zoning. Second, functional unit segregation is reflected in the closed and hidden Criminal Investigation Unit (Reskrim) room (back stage), the open and publicly accessible Traffic Unit (Lantas) room (front stage), and the Logistics room located in the unseen rear area. Third, the relationship with the surrounding community is represented through fences, security posts, and waiting rooms: urban Mapolres tend to have high walls with separate waiting rooms, creating social distance and potential distrust; conversely, rural Mapolres are more open and accessible. This study concludes that Mapolres architecture is not a neutral space but a spatial text that conveys messages of power, control, and social distance. Recommendations include evaluating Mapolres designs to be more open and public‑friendly, as well as conducting further studies with physical observation and interviews.

This study examines how the cultural values of “speed,” “challenge,” and “solidarity” are narrated through social media content depicting the traffic behavior of motorcycle riders in Indonesia. Using a qualitative approach with netnography (Kozinets, 2015) and visual discourse analysis (Rose, 2016), this research analyzes uploaded accident videos, “street racing” actions, and netizen comment sections from Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube (January 2024 – March 2026), as well as official police content (@divisihumaspolri, @korlantaspolri). Data were analyzed using symbolic interactionism (Goffman, 1963, 1967), social network theory (Castells, 2009), and visual/digital anthropology (Pink, 2021). The results show three main findings. First, the value of “speed” functions as a symbol of social status, masculinity, and freedom, displayed through rolling, extreme cornering, and illegal racing actions, and is associated with specific motorcycle brands as identity markers. Second, the value of “challenge” is represented as a risk performance deliberately recorded for public consumption, where social validation mechanisms (likes, comments, shares, hashtags #fyp) encourage increasingly risky behavior while simultaneously creating public pressure that punishes dangerous actions. Third, the value of “solidarity” manifests in bonds of togetherness in convoys and post‑accident support (prayers, donations, visits). This study also finds that traffic police appear in these narratives in three overlapping roles: as law enforcers, as targets of public criticism, and as part of the social performance itself. This study concludes that in the digital era, the highway has transformed into a social stage where motorcycle riders not only travel but also perform, are judged, and are remembered by the online public. Recommendations include the need for more dialogic and culturally sensitive police communication strategies, involvement of motorcycle communities in safety campaigns, and moderation of risky content by social media platforms.

Illicit narcotics trafficking in Indonesia has reached alarming levels, with tens of thousands of cases and hundreds of tons of seized evidence each year. However, behind law enforcement efforts, narcotics evidence itself often becomes a new source of problems such as embezzlement, substitution, or “loss” involving rogue officers. This study aims to understand the social journey of narcotics evidence from seizure to destruction and to reveal its capacity as a non‑human agent actively shaping power relations within the criminal justice system. Using a qualitative approach with netnography, field observation, and in‑depth interviews with 9 key informants (investigators, logistics officers, supervisory officials, prosecutors), the data were analyzed using the frameworks of social biography (Appadurai, 1986; Kopytoff, 1986) and Actor‑Network Theory (Latour, 2005). The results show three critical phases: (1) the seizure phase as the ontological “birth” of evidence, fraught with tension between formal procedures and field practices; (2) the circulation phase within the logistics chain, creating “biographical stagnation” due to the contradiction between storage time limits (7‑14 days) and the duration of judicial processes (months), which becomes fertile ground for re‑commoditization; (3) the destruction phase as a ritual of state power and a theater of transparency that conceals leaks from previous phases. This study concludes that narcotics evidence is a non‑human agent actively shaping law enforcement practices, and that logistics governance reform requires not only procedural improvements but also digitization of the chain, revision of storage time regulations, and a cultural shift from a target‑oriented approach to process integrity
