Abstract

The study focused only on five local Government Areas of the State where incidents of various kinds of crime, particularly cattle herders attacks, cattle rustling, armed robbery, banditry, kidnappings and farmers-herders conflicts do occur regularly. A sample size of 18 (n-18) was determined for the study. The interview participants were recruited using the referral approach that was based on the purposive sampling technique of selecting persons with enough stock of knowledge, experience, and expertise on the topic of this study. The participants were recruited from the Nigeria Police, DSS, Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, and community vigilante groups in Makurdi, the State capital located in Makurdi L.G.A (Benue North-west Zone) and four other Local Government Areas , namely, Agatu (Benue South zone), Logo, Kwande, and Katsina-Ala (Benue North-east zone),where all manner of criminal activities, particularly armed robbery, banditry, kidnapping, herders attacks, farmers-herdsmen clashes, and cattle rustling take place on regular basis. Data analysis was done using thematic analysis approach. Lincoln & Guba’s 3-step model was applied with the aid of NVivo 11.The finding of the study was that the management of the collection/collation phase of information meant for intelligence production, including the various agents and tools used for that process (informants, surveillance, technologies (ICT), community policing, and interrogation) predisposes criminal intelligence management to be very relevant to the fight against crime. The finding of the study also showed that how the intelligence analysis phase of the intelligence production process, particularly intelligence analysis is managed makes criminal intelligence management have much relevance and implications to the fight against crime and insecurity.

Abstract

As Nigeria reels under the security challenges causes by the insurgency of the Boko Haram Islamic sect, and Islamic State West African Province, ISWAP in the North East region, as well as banditry, armed robbery, kidnappings for ransom, ritual killings, separatist movement of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB and the menace of the Fulani Herdsmen, the unprecedented killer COVID-19 pandemic and its concomitant global crisis changed the pattern of the security challenges and greatly undermined human security in the country. It is within this premise that this study made concerted effort to review the changing pattern of the Nigeria’s public safety and national security challenges in the COVID-19 pandemic era which in turn undermined human security. To achieve its objectives, this study adopted the historical research design which is qualitative and explorative in nature. Thus, secondary sources of data were reliably used in gathering of materials for the study and for gleaning extant literatures in the study area. Because of its contribution to the development of a civil society which is largely in practice in recent times, the Natural State theory was adopted as its theoretical framework. The study finds out among others that in the face of the outbreak of Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, its accompaniment global crisis and the existing national security challenges in Nigeria are on the increase rather than in the decrease and all of which in turn threatened human security that was already in comatose state. Study concludes that the nexus between the security challenges in the pre-COVID-19 and COVID-19 pandemic eras is that both have tolled on human and material capital in Nigeria. The study therefore offers useful policy options to these national issues.

Abstract

The many offers of high income make many people interested in investing. People's carelessness backfires on those who are victims of fraudulent investments. Illegal investment or more commonly known as a fraudulent investment is indeed carrying out investment activities that are not following existing regulations. The ease of access to information and the affordability of technology today has become the ground for illegal investment actors to look for victims. Investments that initially aim to obtain maximum income from existing capital in the future harm investors. In illegal assets, it is not only the activities that are not appropriate, but the completeness of the licensing documents for investment companies is also incomplete. Many types of activities resemble investments but are fake or illegal. The victims of this activity are not only a few. Even from all walks of life are victims of this irresponsible activity. This service is carried out by educating the public regarding complaints and assisting with illegal investments. This service will be carried out by providing investment training for the community in Kalipancur Village, especially for mothers and teenagers who are often the target of investment fraud. Such an approach is expected to provide validity of the results as a good outcome. This training is considered efficient and effective because the public understands and understands commercial transactions through the internet to increase their knowledge to increase their income and standard of living.

Abstract

The rule of law operates in accordance with the law, focusing on the equality of citizens before the law and the prohibition of the arbitrary power of the executive (Government). Justice reform is a mechanism that made it possible for citizens to increase their trust in justice. Justice reform was a mechanism that we had not heard before and it is important in this paper to mention the causes and consequences of justice reform by balancing them to understand its positive and negative sides. Judicial reform has mostly affected judges and prosecutors, but also lawyers in court cases as well and the public had an important role to denounce any judge or prosecutor who had given court decisions in violation of the law but also cases of corruption of judges or prosecutors. In this paper it is very important to address two very important principles sanctioned by the European Convention on Human Rights. the second is a trial within a reasonable time by analyzing court decisions and the importance of respecting deadlines by the courts for a speedy and effective justice. A new innovation taken from the countries of the European Union was the new court map that does not brought a few debates in our country and how the new court map will affect the economy of Albanians given that Albania is a developing country.

Abstract

The fulfillment of the right of restitution against child victims of criminal acts is regulated in Article 71 letter d of Law Number 35 of 2014 concerning Child Protection. In order to make it easier for victims to get compensation without having to go through the usual civil lawsuit process, the state provides a way through merging cases of compensation claims to criminal cases regulated in Articles 98-101 of the Criminal Procedure Code. In fact, the fulfillment of the right of restitution as stated in the provisions has never been implemented. This study aims to analyze the implementation of legal protection for child victims of the crime of sexual intercourse in terms of the fulfillment of the right of restitution and find the formulation of the concept of legal protection which is expected to be able to provide legal protection through the fulfillment of the right of restitution in the future. This study uses a normative juridical research method, with a law approach and a case approach. The results of this study are: 1) Legal protection in the form of fulfilling victims' restitution rights, especially in the Gorontalo District Court in practice has not been implemented properly. This is because victims do not know their rights in Article 98 of the Criminal Procedure Code, and the lack of regulation and authority of law enforcement officers in determining the amount of immaterial losses. 2) In order to realize the optimal fulfillment of victims' restitution rights, the provisions regarding restitution in the Witness and Victim Protection Law should be stated in the Criminal Procedure Code so that there is a harmony of arrangements regarding the submission procedure and other provisions regarding restitution. The Draft Criminal Procedure Code must also contain coercive power for the defendant to pay compensation to the victim.

Abstract

Children who are in contact with law in Indonesia have their own characteristics and handling procedures through the Juvenile Criminal Justice System. Through Law Number 11 of 2021 concerning the Juvenile Criminal Justice System, the state tries to be present to protect children's rights, even though children are perpetrators of crimes. Handling criminal cases against children is certainly different from handling cases against adults, the handling of children is special because it is also regulated in separate regulations. Understanding of the process of handling children's cases, of course, there may still be some in the community who do not understand or understand, so that sometimes it gives rise to various assessments, even more fatal if there is a misjudgment that the handling of children, especially children in legal conflicts 5 get special treatment and there are also those who think that children cannot be punished even though it is not that far, it's just that the handling process is specifically regulated. This study aims to analyze the concept of justice for children in the Indonesian Child Criminal Justice System within the framework of Criminal Justice Reform. The method used in this study is a mixed method between empirical and normative studies. This method is used to answer the substance of justice contained in the Juvenile Criminal Justice System within the framework of criminal justice reform. The location of this research was specifically carried out in the city of Semarang, and several other cities as supporting material. Supporting data in this study were also obtained from various studies on the internet.

Abstract

The significance of establishing an age limit for marriage cannot be overstated, as marrying at a young age often leads to heightened domestic conflicts, encompassing instances of domestic violence and an increased likelihood of divorce. This study employs an empirical juridical research method, combining field research and library materials, to delve into the factors contributing to child marriages. The findings reveal various drivers of child marriages, notably rooted in economic hardships within families (poverty), parental-arranged marriages, influence from peer groups with a high prevalence of early marriages, cultural perspectives on marriage age, discontinued education, and instances of premarital sexual activities. The repercussions of child marriages extend beyond the act itself, jeopardizing fundamental rights that the young individuals may have otherwise enjoyed. This research underscores the vulnerability of several rights in the context of child marriages, including the right to education, the right to a sustainable livelihood, the right to holistic growth and development, and the right to live free from violence. The forms of violence stemming from child marriages are manifold, encompassing both physical and psychological abuse perpetrated by partners or individuals with familial ties, such as blood relations, marital bonds, and guardians residing in the household. Addressing these multifaceted factors is crucial for the protection and well-being of individuals ensnared in early marriages, paving the way for more informed policies and interventions.

Abstract

The operational task of the police is a duty directly related to the community, and the benchmark for its success is the establishment of public trust in the Indonesian National Police (Polri). In the jurisdiction of the Semarang Metropolitan Police (Polrestabes Semarang), there is still a prevalence of aggravated theft crimes. Many people suffer losses due to the frequent occurrence of such criminal acts, including physical harm, economic losses, and psychological disturbances. The implementation of motor vehicle patrols by the Satuan Samapta (Security and Order Maintenance Unit) and the factors influencing the activities of the Satuan Samapta motor vehicle patrols in preventing aggravated theft crimes need to be optimized. Management theory, crime prevention theory, organizational resource theory, patrol concepts, and the concept of aggravated theft crimes are applied to enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of the Satuan Samapta motor vehicle patrol implementation. The Satuan Samapta patrols still face various obstacles from internal and external factors within the unit, thus requiring organizational resources to support the success of patrol implementation.
