The paper studies key areas of reforming the institute of preliminary investigation in the Russian Federation. The author does not support the position that reduces key problems of reforming criminal cases’ investigation to different organizational and structural changes, to the establishment or abolishment of some agencies. The reform should be based on diverse and, at the same time, systemic measures, including: the conceptual elaboration of the investigation reform; the systematization of the subject, the object and the very procedure of investigation; the rationalization of organizational and management structures of preliminary investigation; the optimization of the system of public and state control over investigation; the improvement of the relations between the investigation authorities and the public prosecutor’s office; the introduction of changes in the mechanism of cooperation between operational search and investigation authorities; the optimization of relations between investigation authorities and the court; the implementation of a complex of measures aimed at improving the professionalism of investigation officers, raising their general and legal cultural level, creating optimal conditions for their work; the reform of the investigation infrastructure. One of the key areas of reforming preliminary investigation is, according to the author, the restoration of the previously abolished supervision authority of the prosecutor’s office (the authority to initiate a criminal case; the right to issue obligatory directions for the investigator; the authority to terminate a criminal case on any grounds provided by law). Practice has shown that the current system of procedural control over the investigation of criminal cases is weak and does not prevent numerous mistakes and oversight of investigation officers. One scenario of a large-scale investigation reform, according to the author, includes the preservation of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation, making it the basic structure for the organization of an inter-agency investigation authority.

The Lee Hancock Collection of materials on the Branch Davidian case, located at the Loyola University New Orleans archive, contains an impressive set of internal memos, interview reports, and expert reports from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms, and the Texas Rangers, in addition to numerous government reports and documents relating to the criminal and civil trials. It also contains an array of news articles. The Hancock Collection provides important source materials relevant to research on the events in 1993 involving federal agents and the Branch Davidians, the subsequent trials and investigations, as well as media depictions. The federal documents in the Hancock Collection are particularly important in light of the withholding and destruction of source materials on the Branch Davidian case by United States agents and agencies.

This study aims to determine and analyze the function of Visum Et Repertum in investigations in revealing rape crime. This type of research is a type of normative juridical research, then the approach in this research is the statutory approach (statute approach), case approach (case approach. As a normative juridical study, this research uses legal materials, consisting of primary legal material, secondary legal material, and tertiary legal material The technique of gathering legal materials used by the study of documents and literature studies The results of the study show (1) the role of the Visum Et Repertum in the examination of a rape crime in addition to assisting investigators in uncovering criminal acts but also plays an important role in the hearing at the hearing, then the effort of the investigator requesting the making of a visum et repertum from the initial stage of the examination of the case is important and must be done. two tools, ma'am The quality required for a judge in deciding a case as this is determined in Article 6 paragraph (2) of Law No. 14 of 1970 concerning the Principal Provisions of Judicial Power, and (2 In Criminal Cases, Visum Et Repertum is located as a valid evidence in Article 184 paragraph (1) of the Criminal Procedure Code. So in this case, investigators should include evidence such as Visum Et Repertum as evidence to strengthen and discover the truth of the occurrence of rape.

The article reveals general criteria for evaluating expert’s opinion, in particular, expert’s participation at the end of the preliminary investigation (inquiry) and during drafting of the indictment (crime bill), interaction between the investigator and the expert in identification and remedy of causes and conditions that facilitated the commission of the crime. The article considers two different methods of assessing expert’s opinion: the internal, which is confined to logical analysis of the opinion, understanding consistency of the scientific and technical means and methods of the research, applied by the expert, the nature of the identified features and their role in justification of the drawn conclusions; and the external, that assesses the opinion in the legal, procedural respect, and observance of the rights of the participants in a criminal case, as well as in relation to all criminal case files. Expert’s participation at the end of the preliminary investigation (inquiry) and during drafting of the indictment (crime bill) comes down to advice about the performed examinations, determination of the place and importance of the expert’s opinion in the totality of the available evidence collected for the criminal case. The interaction between the investigator and the expert in remedy of causes and conditions that facilitated the commission of the crime in penitentiary system of Russia is regarded as a daily routine in penal crimes’ investigation and a remedial measure with the purpose of prevention such crimes in future. As part of the study the author analyzed 60 files of criminal investigation on penalty crimes in various regions of Russia. The author highlights peculiarities and suggests conclusions after considering case studies on the issue. The research methodology involves the use of such techniques as analysis, synthesis, induction, interviewing and others.

This article examines specifics trends of conceptual changes in the system of modern criminal proceedings regarding the use of criminalistic means and techniques as a cognitive tool in criminal procedure in Ukraine. Authors analyzed the reform impact of domestic criminal procedural legislation on definition of goals and objectives of criminalistics; in particular, the emphasis is on the significant expansion of competitiveness in pre-trial investigation and legal proceedings. Proposals of certain criminalists concerning allocation of separate subsystems of knowledge and recommendations directed at different subjects of criminal proceedings in modern criminalistics are analyzed. Characteristic of the conceptual approach of allocation Criminalistic Advocacy Studies is offered in Criminalistics. In this regard, types of advocacy activities in the context of solved tasks by means of сriminalistic knowledge are considered. It is noted that attorney while performing his professional duties – the protection of a person who is subject to criminal prosecution, or the implementation of the representation of the victim, really uses сriminalistic knowledge but for different purposes. In last case, the purpose and scope of the сriminalistic knowledge used by a lawyer actually coincide with the purpose and scope of knowledge of the body of pre-trial investigation. Activity of a lawyer regarding a representation office while the criminal proceedings of the victim's interests is illustrated investigation materials of anthropogenic disaster entailing loss of life. Against this background, a conclusion is drawn on the contradiction and uncertainty of the proposal regarding the formation of "criminalistic advocacy" as a subsystem of criminalistics. According to the performed analysis of an author's vision of modern integration of сriminalistic and criminal procedural knowledge is proposed. It is summarized that use of сriminalistic knowledge can be carried out by each participant in the criminal proceedings in the scoop he thinks fit to achieve his goal, but this does not give grounds for the division of criminalistics into specific subsystems depending on the used subjects. It is emphasized that in view of the radical change regarding domestic criminal procedure, nowadays some scientific norms and practical recommendations of criminalistics need to be reviewed or corrected.

The Corruption Criminal Court in absentia is a deviation or prohibited because it is considered as a violation of the defendant's human rights so that the right of the defendant to make a defense will be lost or ignored as regulated in Article 196 Paragraph (1) of the Criminal Procedure Code. Judgment in absentia is only permitted for perpetrators of traffic violations. Then what if the court in absentia is applied to corruption cases. The method in this research uses an approach that includes an empirical approach carried out through direct research in the field, and a normative approach carried out through literature studies related to legislation, research results and other literature. In the implementation of the court in absentia for corruption cases do not violate the rights of the suspect because the defendant is still given the right to follow the stages for criminal justice both from the process of investigation, investigation and trial, but in this case the defendant does not want to use or utilize the rights their rights which have been granted and guaranteed by laws and regulations as regulated in the Criminal Procedure Code.

One of the most highly touted improvements in the criminal justice response to rape has been the wide-scale adoption of sexual assault nurse examiner (SANE) programs that provide specialized medical care and forensic evidence collection to victims. Though previous studies have emphasized the benefits of SANE programs in improving criminal case outcomes, this study illustrates how the post-rape forensic examination can also discourage reporting, investigation, and prosecution. Interviews with local rape care advocates across the United States show how the increasing emphasis on forensic evidence collected through rape kits may provide an opportunity to reflect and enact persistent law enforcement stereotypes toward sexual assault complainants. Unless police resistance to taking rape seriously is confronted and addressed, even well-intentioned policy reforms such as SANE programs may end up undermining—rather than enhancing—fair and thorough investigation of sexual assault allegations.

The use of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) evidence in criminal cases, especially exonerations, has received high levels of public and media attention. Studies show DNA evidence can have a significant effect on case outcomes, whereas other studies have found that police investigators rarely use DNA. Coupled with work in many cities to test large numbers of older sexual assault kits, Combined DNA Index System (CODIS) holds great promise for holding offenders accountable. Despite the potential value of DNA evidence, few studies have measured case processing after forensic matches have been made. This study examines investigation outcomes following DNA testing and forensic matches in a sample of previously untested sexual assault kits in the Houston Police Department. Of 104 CODIS-hit cases, one case resulted in new charges.

Criminal profiling is a useful technique to identify the most plausible suspects based on the evidence discovered at the crime scene. Similar to offline criminal profiling, in-depth profiling for cybercrime investigation is useful in analysing cyberattacks and for speculating on the identities of the criminals. Every cybercrime committed by the same hacker or hacking group has unique traits such as attack purpose, attack methods, and target. These unique traits are revealed in the evidence of cybercrime; in some cases, these unique traits are well hidden in the evidence such that it cannot be easily perceived. Therefore, a complete analysis of several factors concerning cybercrime can provide an investigator with concrete evidence to attribute the attacks and narrow down the scope of the criminal data and grasp the criminals in the end. We herein propose a decision support methodology based on the case-based reasoning (CBR) for cybercrime investigation. This study focuses on the massive data-driven analysis of website defacement. Our primary aim in this study is to demonstrate the practicality of the proposed methodology as a proof of concept. The assessment of website defacement was performed through the similarity measure and the clustering processing in the reasoning engine based on the CBR. Our results show that the proposed methodology that focuses on the investigation enables a better understanding and interpretation of website defacement and assists in inferring the hacker’s behavioural traits from the available evidence concerning website defacement. The results of the case studies demonstrate that our proposed methodology is beneficial for understanding the behaviour and motivation of the hacker and that our proposed data-driven analytic methodology can be utilized as a decision support system for cybercrime investigation.

This research aims to examine granting discretion to government officials or state administration is a logical consequence of the welfare state's conception. This opens up opportunities for officials to commit corruption. Based on the administrative law, state officials' abuse of power is not a criminal offence but purely the administration's fault. However, with the issuance of the Government Administration Law, court judges from Corruption Crime have their right to judge whether there is an element of abusing their authority or not. Better laws and no negative impact or a growing number of problems. Evaluation and updating must be carried out to obtain maximum results and satisfy all parties. The first method employs in this research was the statute approach or the statutory approach. The second method used was a conceptual approach. The data collection used in this article is secondary data collection by finding and collecting data that has already been published in books, newspapers, magazines, journals, online portals regarding this issue. The result is there are still problems arising from the enactment of Law Number 30 of 2014, especially on constitutional grounds, State Administrative Courts, and Corruption based on discretion. Several journals and studies have been conducted to corroborate this question. Therefore, it is necessary to make adjustments and improvements in several areas to obtain a better law and does not cause adverse impacts or a growing number of problems.

Purpose This paper aims to study the Integrated Criminal Justice System; the law enforcement carried out by the Indonesian National Police is expected to be able to realize legal values, namely, legal justice, expediency and certainty. Design/methodology/approach This research can broadly be grouped into the realm of the socio-legal research approach. The domain of law enforcement in corruption cases is related to the preliminary investigation and full investigation process. The research location chosen is at Indonesian National Police Headquarter (Mabes Polri) and Greater Jakarta Metropolitan Regional Police. The main data sources are stakeholders who are related and have the authority as preliminary phase investigators and full phase investigators. The next informants are determined by snowball technique, which consists of several informants as follows: Director of Special Criminal Investigation Directorate of Greater Jakarta Metropolitan Regional Police, head of Corruption Crime Sub-Directorate of Greater Jakarta Metropolitan Regional Police, investigators of Corruption Crime Sub-Directorate of Special Criminal Investigation Directorate of Greater Jakarta Metropolitan Regional Police, members of Commission III of the Indonesian House of Representatives (DPR), constitutional law experts and police experts. The data in this research are obtained through observation activities, visual interviews, document interpretation (text) and material and personal experience. Findings The corruption cases handled by the Indonesian National Police have mostly come from information reports from the public. Based on the information report from the community, the preliminary investigation phase is carried out by the preliminary phase investigator of the Indonesian National Police in the field. In addition, a preliminary investigation and full investigation is carried out due to the results of an audit from the BPK or BPKP. Preliminary investigation and full investigation begin after it is alleged that a criminal act of corruption had occurred based on the report, complaints and information received by the preliminary phase investigator or full phase investigator from the community. In conducting the preliminary investigation and full investigation of corruption cases, based on the results of the research conducted, it is also found that the Indonesian National Police’s preliminary phase investigator and full phase investigator experience several obstacles, besides supporting factors that support the success of a preliminary investigation and full investigation. Originality/value This research is a case study in which no previous studies have used the same method in Greater Jakarta Metropolitan Regional Police (Polda Metro Jaya). This paper is the result of the researcher’s research on what is described above, guided by the constructivism paradigm, the researcher applies the paradigmatic analysis to understand how the preliminary investigation and full investigation on corruption crimes by Greater Jakarta Metropolitan Regional Police act as part of an integrated criminal justice system. Through the paradigmatic analysis, the researcher then reveals how while upholding the law, the Indonesian National Police actually sought to realize legal justice, expediency and certainty.

Digital evidence, such as evidence from CCTV and event data recorders, is highly valuable in criminal investigations, and is used as definitive evidence in trials. However, there are risks when digital evidence obtained during the investigation of a case is managed through a physical hard disk drive until it is submitted to the court. Previous studies have focused on the integrated management of digital evidence in a centralized system, but if a centralized system server is attacked, major operations and investigation information may be leaked. Therefore, there is a need to reliably manage digital evidence and investigation information using blockchain technology in a distributed system environment. However, when large amounts of data—such as evidence videos—are stored in a blockchain, the data that must be processed only within one block before being created increase, causing performance degradation. Therefore, we propose a two-level blockchain system that separates digital evidence into hot and cold blockchains. In the criminal investigation process, information that frequently changes is stored in the hot blockchain, and unchanging data such as videos are stored in the cold blockchain. To evaluate the system, we measured the storage and inquiry processing performance of digital crime evidence videos according to the different capacities in the two-level blockchain system.

Forest development is a national development target that is expected to provide maximum benefits for the people's welfare, in fact this is now very difficult to happen, because there are many cases of logging without permission from the authorized official. This is the case in the Sungai Buaya Register 45 Forest Area, Mesuji Regency, Lampung. In the case file Number BP / 83 / XI / 2010 RESKRIM to the Tulang Bawang Pokes that the suspect named Komang Salie alias Komang Bon alias Wayan Putra bin Wayan Mije, is suspected of having committed a criminal act of logging without the permission of the authorized official, in a case which is suspected by everyone. prohibited from occupying and or working and or using, encroaching, cutting trees and harvesting or collecting forest products without having the right and permission from the authorized official and carrying tools specifically used to cut, cut or cut trees in the forest area without a permit authorized officials, and those who commit, who order to do, participate in the act or those who deliberately provide assistance at the time the crime is committed or those who deliberately provide opportunities, means to commit the crime, as referred to in Article 50 paragraph (3) letters a, b, e, and k Jo Article 78 paragraph (2), (5), and ( 10) Law Number 19 of 2004 concerning Amendments to Law Number 41 of 1999 concerning Forestry, Jo Articles 55, 56 of the Criminal Code. The problem in this research is what is the role of the National Police as an investigator in the criminal act of logging without the permission of the authorized official and what factors are the factors that hinder the role of the Police as an investigator in the criminal act of logging without the permission of the authorized official. The method that the author uses in this research is to use normative and empirical approaches, primary and secondary data types, data collection methods with literature study and field studies, and descriptive qualitative data analysis. Based on the results of the research, the role of the National Police as an investigator in the crime of forest logging without the permission of the authorized official case number BP / 83 / XI / 2010 / RESKRIM at the Tulang Bawang Police, among others, before the investigation was carried out, an investigation was first carried out to determine the truth of the criminal act that occur. The investigation is based on KUHAP and Law Number 02 of 2002 concerning the Police.

The adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) systems in environments that involve high risk and high consequence decision-making is severely hampered by critical design issues. These issues include system transparency and brittleness, where transparency relates to (i) the explainability of results and (ii) the ability of a user to inspect and verify system goals and constraints; and brittleness, (iii) the ability of a system to adapt to new user demands. Transparency is a particular concern for criminal intelligence analysis, where there are significant ethical and trust issues that arise when algorithmic and system processes are not adequately understood by a user. This prevents adoption of potentially useful technologies in policing environments. In this article, we present a novel approach to designing a conversational agent (CA) AI system for intelligence analysis that tackles these issues. We discuss the results and implications of three different studies; a Cognitive Task Analysis to understand analyst thinking when retrieving information in an investigation, Emergent Themes Analysis to understand the explanation needs of different system components, and an interactive experiment with a prototype conversational agent. Our prototype conversational agent, named Pan, demonstrates transparency provision and mitigates brittleness by evolving new CA intentions. We encode interactions with the CA with human factors principles for situation recognition and use interactive visual analytics to support analyst reasoning. Our approach enables complex AI systems, such as Pan, to be used in sensitive environments, and our research has broader application than the use case discussed.

One type of forensic examination most commonly requested in the investigation of banking fraud is forensic accounting analysis, which includes forensic financing audit. The paper examines special considerations in requesting and conducting this type of forensic analysis, as well as its objectives. Selected case studies illustrate the possibilities of forensic financing audit of official and unofficial (off-the-books) financial records of a criminal association, as well as the scope of a forensic accountant's competence in determining the revenue or size of the premium received for conducting illegal banking transactions.

This paper presents and analyses results deriving from the research on the attitudes of criminal investigation officers in five police departments in Serbia: Belgrade, Novi Sad, Novi Pazar, Subotica and Vranje. The case studies examined the attitudes of members of criminal investigation police and their perception(s) of discrimination towards vulnerable groups. The study aimed to determine the level of animosity exhibited in speech, to analyse socio-ethnic distance, to observe reactions towards measures designed to improve the situation of vulnerable groups, to consider the relationship among institutions regarding their responsibility for the occurrence of discrimination and its impact on the reduction of it, to discuss personal experiences of discrimination and to analyse attitudes regarding certain claims of a stereotypical character. Moreover, the paper also presents a comparative analysis of similar surveys on the perception of citizens towards discrimination that have thus far been conducted in Serbia. The results demonstrated that the police in Serbia did not exhibit a particularly discriminatory attitude towards citizens. It is important to note that the most prominent socio-ethnic distances were exhibited in relation to Roma and members of the LGBT community.

<p>This study aims to determine the urgency of the authority of investigators in the determination of justice collaborators in criminal acts of corruption. In answering the above problems, the research method used is doctrinal research. This study applies a case approach and concept. While the method of data collection is done by examining case studies and literature studies or mere secondary data. So if the Urgency of Giving the authority of the investigator in questioning the determination of justice collaborator in a criminal act of corruption, the author sees that there are 3 (three) things that become the basis for the urgency of granting authority to determine Justice Collaborator by the investigator, including: a. philosophical, b. juridical, and c. sociological. said to be important because it has become a common perception for investigators and police investigators about the massive and organized circulation of corruption networks at this time, in the investigation process often investigators find the potential of the existence of a saski crown that could become the role of justice collaborator.</p><p> <strong>Keywords:</strong> Justice; Justice Collaborator; Corruption.</p><p><em> </em></p><p align="center"> </p>

Drawing upon data gathered during a 4-year ethnographic study of homicide investigation in Britain, we document the movement of 44 (suspected) homicide cases through the criminal justice process before drawing upon two case studies to unravel in detail how a homicide is determined and how suspects are identified, eliminated, or charged. We suggest that the progress of homicide cases through this process is best understood as the outcome of a set of socially organized scientific, legal, and occupational sensemaking practices, collaboratively deployed by institutionally authorized actors. We conclude that these practices are rendered visible only through detailed qualitative research.

Terrorism has contributed significantly to the unstable and unavoidable conflict and threat to security to many countries in the twenty-first century globally. In this qualitative case study, the author explores the causes and devastating effects of terrorism on the continent of Africa. The study used purposive sampling method to select and interview eight executive police officers from the Kofi Annan International Peace Training Centre (KAIPTC) and the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) of the Ghana Police Service (GPS). The researcher also assessed issues of policing in Africa relating to terrorism using archival records kept at criminal investigations departments, empirical studies, and other records on the menace published by renowned experts. The study reveals that socialization and radicalism through some interventions are the major causes of terrorism in Africa. The study recommends that international bodies led by the United Nations should support the policing efforts to curb the menace of terrorism in Africa.

Background. The aim of the study was to identify sociodemographic and clinical risk factors for death from suicide and undetermined injury in residents of one health district.Method. Data were collected on all cases of suicide (ICD-9 E950–959) and undetermined injury (ICD-9 E980–989) for residents in North Staffordshire Health District between 1991 and 1995. Controls, identified from the Coroner's inquest register, who died from other causes, were matched for age and sex.Results. Two hundred and twelve pairs of cases and matched controls were identified. Multivariate analysis (conditional logistic regression) showed that the risk of death due to suicide and undetermined death was associated with: recent separation, relationship difficulties, experience of financial difficulties, history of past criminal charges or contact with the police, a past history of deliberate self-harm, being on psychotropic medication at the time of death and a diagnosis of bipolar affective disorder. For sociodemographic variables, a univariate analysis found associations between the cases and being separated, living alone, having a past history of criminal charges and unemployment. Cases were more likely to have a psychiatric disorder, past history of deliberate self-harm and a past history of psychiatric contact for themselves or a family member. Controls were more likely to have a current medical disorder. Cases were more likely than controls to be on any form of medication at the time of death and to have received a prescription for psychotropic or non-psychotropic medication in the week and month before death. Cases were more likely than controls to have had contact with medical services in the week and month before death, with the general practitioner in the week before death and with psychiatric services at any time in the year before death. Strong associations were found between suicide and undetermined injury and life events such as recent separation and bereavement, and financial and relationship difficulties.Conclusions. The study provides an analytical investigation utilizing a dead control group, data gathered from several sources and adequate numbers of cases. It confirms many of the risk factors identified in other studies and highlights the high proportion of suicides who have been in recent contact with the criminal justice system or have been prescribed medication shortly before death.

Arrest is an act of the investigator to temporarily restrict the freedom of the suspect or accused if there is sufficient evidence for proposes of investigation or prosecution and/or adjudication in matters and by means regulated in the law. One of the cases that has caught the public's attention is the prevention and arrest of Ratna Sarumpaet who is a suspect in the case of spreading hoaxes in the immigration area of Soekarno-Hatta International Airport. This research has the formulation of the problem whether the prevention of going abroad and the arrest of suspect Ratna Sarumpaet in the immigration area is in accordance with applicable regulations. The purpose of this study is to determine whether the forced efforts made in this case the arrest and prevention of Ratna Sarumpaet violates the rules or not. This research is a normative study using several problem approaches which include the Law approach and analysis approach. The data sources used are secondary data, namely library materials which include library books, legislation, and others. Data will be analyzed by normative analysis method. The theoretical basis used is the rule of law theory, the theory of state sovereignty, the theory of law enforcement and the theory of criminal law. Based on the data analysis, it was concluded that the prevention of leaving the Territory of Indonesia and the arrest of Ratna Sarumpaet which was a forced attempt by the police in coordination with the immigration party were in accordance with applicable regulations, namely as stipulated in the Criminal Procedure Code, Law Number 6 2011 concerning Immigration and Government Regulation Number 31 of 2013 concerning Regulations for the Implementation of Law Number 6 of 2011 concerning Immigration.

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

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to analyze the Vietnamese laws and practices concerning the confiscation of proceeds of crime, especially in view of Vietnam’s obligations to meet the international standards on money laundering and terrorist financing, set by the Financial Action Task Force and relevant international conventions that Vietnam ratified. To limit the scope of this paper, the analysis focuses on the confiscation of proceeds of domestic crimes that do not require international legal assistance. This paper concludes with recommendations for improving the legal framework on criminal asset recovery in Vietnam. Design/methodology/approach This is a doctrinal study that considers the applicable legal framework. This study is supported by brief case studies of major cases involving the confiscation of proceeds of crime. Findings Vietnam has a functioning asset confiscation regime but gaps in the law, lack of financial investigation expertise and lack of focused investigative attention on asset preservation and confiscation are hampering its effectiveness. The key gaps can easily be closed with appropriate amendments to the law. These reforms should be combined with a dedicated skills development program to produce sufficient number of financial investigation experts and criminal asset management experts to support the regime. The training should extend to judicial officers to ensure an appropriate understanding of the asset confiscation law. Reforms such as these should follow on a comprehensive review of Vietnam’s law and practices relating to the confiscation and forfeiture of criminal assets. This review should extend to assets linked to the financing of terrorism and proliferation to ensure that Vietnam has a comprehensive regime to deal with criminal assets. Research limitations/implications This paper draws on publicly available information regarding the confiscation of proceeds of crime in Vietnam. Little data is available on asset confiscation and that prevents an in-depth assessment of the regime. Originality/value This paper highlights gaps in the current asset confiscation regime and proposes reforms and approaches that will ensure a more effective asset confiscation regime for Vietnam.

The problems of this study are: 1) How is enforcement against members of the military in drug abuse in the jurisdiction of the Military Court II/09 Bandung? 2) How constraints and efforts to overcome the constraints of law enforcement against members of the military in drug abuse in the jurisdiction of the Military Court II/09 Bandung?Method sociological approach juridical law and specification in this study were included descriptive analysis. Even the sources and types of data in this study are primary data obtained from interviews with field studies Military Court II/09 Bandung, and secondary data obtained from the study of literature. Data were analyzed qualitatively. The problems studied by the theory of law enforcement, criminal liability and progressive law.Results of the discussion concluded: Enforcement of the law against members of the military in drug abuse in the jurisdiction of the Military Court II/09 Bandung executed in accordance with the applicable regulations, because the urine test is done not in accordance with regulations and charges denied by the defendant who has the right of refusal. The obstacles are the lack military justice, the need for strengthening of the system of criminal law enforcement in the military justice ahead of independent both institutionally and functionally, free from interference by other institutions outside the judiciary as a logical consequence system of a democratic constitutional state, so it is necessary No reconstruction of the existing regulation of military justice. Next to the military justice system, particularly related to the investigation should be conducted by military police consisting of the Army, Navy and Air Force, independently.Keywords: Law Enforcement; Crime; Drugs; Military Environment.

Victims play a central role in criminal case processing, but research suggests many victims do not report crimes to police or cooperate in a police investigation. This study extends the literature on victim cooperation by examining the effect of incident-level variables and neighborhood characteristics on victim cooperation in nonfatal shooting incidents. The sample includes 1,054 nonfatal shooting victims from two Midwestern cities. Results using binary logistic regression suggest that incident and victim characteristics are significantly associated with cooperation, but race conditions the effect of injury severity and motive on cooperation. The willingness to cooperate among Whites is contingent on injury severity while non-White victims do not become markedly more cooperative when confronted with serious injury. Race also moderates the relationship between crime motive and cooperation. This work demonstrates the need to incorporate nonfatal firearm violence into studies of victim cooperation and gun crime more broadly.

AbstractMinor infractions represent the majority of criminal cases. Simplified or summary procedures have addressed their increasing number in order to unburden the courts. Because of reduced requirements for the case to be adjudicated, this procedural economy comes usually to the cost of the defendant. Penal orders represent the most successful form of fast track procedure in which the public prosecutor plays a predominant role. After a police report and sometimes a short investigation, penal orders are issued and notified to the defendant. If they are not objected, their judgment equals the decision of a court. In other words, penal orders rely on the tacit agreement of the defendant. This contribution presents the risks of penal orders to produce wrongful convictions and proposes a set of recommendations that could improve the current situation. A combination of legal sources and empirical studies shed light on the delicate balance between the efficiency of justice and the defendant’s rights.

The article presents the classification of samples for comparative research, the study of which will contribute to the correct choice of a tactical method of obtaining them. The material also contains an analysis of the scientific literature related to the classification and systematization of the category in question; alternative grounds for dividing into groups are proposed. Classifying comparative samples, the author focuses on certain problems that practitioners face. Namely: the possibility of obtaining samples for a comparative research before the initiation of a criminal case, the validity of the use of coercion to obtain them, as well as the possibility of using comparative material obtained in the framework of operational search activities for expert studies. In preparing the article, general scientific methods of empirical knowledge (comparison, description), general logical methods of analysis, synthesis, generalization, classification, as well as methods of system-structural analysis were used. The purpose of the study of the problems of obtaining samples is to provide a systematic classification of this category in order to improve the quality of crime investigation. The conclusions made in the article on issues related to obtaining comparative samples at the stage of pre-investigation check and the possibility of using samples obtained during operational search activities are logically presented in the proposed classification.

Purpose – As a result of advances in DNA and other forensic technologies, police agencies are showing increased interest in cold-case investigations, with larger departments dedicating staff to conducting these investigations or forming cold-case squads. The purpose of this paper is to provide information on how police agencies organize and conduct cold-case investigations. Design/methodology/approach – To assess the current practices used in cold-case investigations, an exploratory survey was sent to a stratified random sample of police agencies across the US survey findings are based on 1,051 returns. Findings – Results include the following. Most agencies do little cold-case work, with only 20 percent having a protocol for initiating cold-case investigations, 10 percent having dedicated cold-case investigators, and 7 percent having a formal cold-case unit. Cold-case funding is tenuous: 20 percent of cold-case work is funded through line items in the budget, with most funded by grants or supplemental funds. Success rates for cold-case investigations are low: about one in five cases are cleared. Agency factors associated with higher clearance rates included level of funding and access to investigative databases. Practical implications – As new forensic tools are developed, cold-case investigations will become an increasingly prominent activity of criminal investigation units. The survey reported on in this paper gives the first glimpse of how agencies are handling these cases. Originality/value – To the knowledge, there are no other empirical studies on how agencies structure and conduct cold-case investigations.

Abstract Though not as widely studied as the Research Article (RA), the abstract has attracted increasing interest among researchers over last decades (Swales 1990, Bhatia 1993, Dos Santos 1996, Lorés-Sanz 2008, Bondi/Cavalieri 2012, Cavalieri 2014). A number of contrastive or comparative studies of abstracts in English and other languages (Martín-Martín 2005, Lorés Sanz 2006, Van Bonn & Swales 2007, Diani 2014) have already been carried out considering mainly the hard sciences and some soft sciences such as linguistics and history, however no cross-cultural analyses have been conducted so far between RA abstracts in English and RA abstracts in French published in the legal field. This paper seeks to investigate genre variation and changes in frame sequences comparatively in English and French RA abstracts from criminology journals. Using a genre analytical approach to qualitative and quantitative data, the paper reports on two comparable corpora, i.e. English and French, of electronically retrieved abstracts from Criminology Journals published in 2014. The two corpora are composed of three journals per language, namely Criminology, Journal of Criminal Justice, Journal of Criminal Law and Criminology for the English corpus, and Champ Pénal, Criminologie, Revue Canadienne de Droit Pénal et Criminologie for the French corpus. The analysis will be carried out following two main steps, i.e. a macro-analysis and a micro-analysis. In the former step, the corpora are compared by the analysis and discussion of the basic IMRD rhetorical move structure for the RA often proposed in the literature (e.g. Nwogu 1990; Swales 1990; Bhatia 1993; Ventola 1994; Martín-Martín 2002) and the additional five moves model postulated by Dos Santos (1996) with the aim of investigating the linguistic and rhetorical variation in the abstract genre from a cross-cultural perspective. In the latter, we look at frame sequences (Bondi/Cavalieri 2012) combining forms of self-mentions and frame markers (Hyland 2005), i.e. personal patterns (e.g. we argue / nous questionnons), impersonal patterns (e.g. it is argued / il est question) and locational patterns (e.g. the paper argues / l’article questionne) (Dahl 2004). Provisional results show that the abstracts under investigation largely follow the international conventions based on the norms established by the English-speaking international academic community. However, variation across the two cultures emerged from the linguistic realizations of framework sequences. Cross-cultural implications are discussed at the close.

The convenience provided by rental car owners is often abused by irresponsible tenants, car damage due to improper use, used as a means of committing crimes even to embezzlement of the car by way of selling or being pawned is a risk that can befall the car owner at any time. rental. As was the case with Effendi Bin Bunyamin, a resident of Palm Raya village, Indralaya Subdistrict, Ogan Ilir Regency, South Sumatra Province, who committed embezzlement of a four-wheeled vehicle belonging to Muhammad Sholeh using rental rental mode. The research method used in this thesis research is a normative juridical approach and an empirical approach. Data collection based on library research and field studies. Resource persons in this study include investigators, public prosecutors, and judges. The factor that caused the defendant to embezzle four-wheeled vehicles was due to economic factors. Where the defendant needed an amount of money to be used for the cost of marrying his child so that this situation forced the victim to commit the crime of embezzlement as in decision no 69 / Pid.B / 2020 / Pn.Bbu. Criminal responsibility for the defendant, namely that the defendant was secured by members of the Way Kanan resort police, was then detained during the investigation and trial process and then sentenced to prison for one year and five months as stated in decision number 69 / Pid.B / 2020 / Pn.Bbu.

AimTo identify the common factors in serious case reviews (SCRs) where a child has died of a medical cause.DesignQualitative thematic analysis.BackgroundSCRs take place when neglect or abuse results in children dying or being seriously harmed. Known key factors within SCRs include parental substance misuse, mental health problems and domestic abuse. To date, there has been no investigation of children who die of a medical cause where there are concerns about child maltreatment.Data sourcesA list of SCRs relating to deaths through medical causes was provided from previous coded studies and accessed from the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children National Case Review Repository. Twenty-three SCRs with a medical cause of death from 1 April 2009 to 31 March 2017 were sourced.Results20 children died of an acute condition and 12 of a chronic condition; 20 of the deaths were unexpected and maltreatment contributed to the deaths of 18 children. Most children were aged either <1 year or >16 years at the time of death. Many parents were caring for a child with additional vulnerabilities including behavioural issues (6/23), learning difficulties (6/23), mental health issues (5/23) or a chronic medical condition (12/23). Common parental experiences included domestic violence/abuse (13/23), drug/alcohol misuse (10/23), mental ill health or struggling to cope (7/23), criminal history (11/23) and caring for another vulnerable individual (8/23). Most children lived in a chaotic household characterised by missed medical appointments (18/23), poor school attendance (11/23), poor physical home environment (7/23) and disguised compliance (12/23). All 23 SCRs reported elements of abusive or neglectful parenting. In most, there was an evidence of cumulative harm, where multiple factors contributed to their premature death. At the time of death, 11 children were receiving social care support.ConclusionAlthough the underlying medical cause of the child’s death was often incurable, the maltreatment that often exacerbated the medical issue could have been prevented.

It is impossible to establish the truth in criminal proceedings while considering cases related to related to non-compliance with the requirements of the Law of Ukraine with the requirements of the Law of Ukraine "On Labor Protection" without performing forensic examinations regarding the investigation of causal relations and establishing circumstances preceding the accident. As a rule, the research subject in this case is materialized carriers of information about a harmful event that had taken place. Therefore, from a technical point of view establishing the presence of circumstances that preceded and led to adverse effects and their direct connection with the occurrence of these consequences is one of the issues of Forensic Engineering. The causation assessment is based on a theoretical research of circumstances of an accident event on the basis of materials provided for research. The use of philosophical and logic means is the basis of forensic research on the causation determination and the establishment of objective truth in legal practice. The article reveals contemporary views on the problems of causal relationship between socially dangerous acts and the socially dangerous consequences of these acts in combination with expert practice while research related to electrical injury. The completeness and objectivity of the expert's opinion on the results of the studies of accidents related to electrical injury depends on the availability of expertise in the field of electrical engineering and requires the mandatory involvement of a forensic expert in relevant field.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to analyse the problem of “Rape” in India from multiple perspectives and recommend measures for mitigating this crime from the country. Using the much highlighted incident of gang rape of a 23-year-old woman in Delhi, India on 16 December 2012, the paper analyses the behaviour of the various parties involved in the case with the help of some sociological and psychological theories. Design/methodology/approach – A structured investigation through the technique of root cause analysis was applied to the gang rape case of 16 December 2012 to identify the true cause of the problem of rape and suggest the actions necessary to eliminate such reoccurrences in future. Findings – The analysis of the problem of rape in general and the gang rape case in particular presented numerous causes for this problem. Considering the complexity of question the authors have presented a multi-dimensional response to this problem. Research limitations/implications – Due to the sensitive nature of subject matter under study this research paper is limited by use of secondary data to conduct root cause analysis. Social implications – Despite the fact that rape is regarded heinous and criminal in nature, the number and the level of inhumanity of this crime has been on a rise. Therefore, the subject matter is very important and topical. The paper makes theoretical and practical contribution on a least researched subject of crime against women in the form of rape. Many benefits could accrue from such multi-dimensional analysis of the rape case. A better understanding of the motivation behind the rape would probably result in taking measures to prevent the problem. Originality/value – Though multifarious views exist regarding rape and allied crimes, the studies are dispersed in nature and need a holistic integration to delve deeper into the causes and consequents of rape. This paper not only integrates diverse perspectives but also explores the multi-dimensional causes of the phenomenon of rape.

The journal Russian-Chinese Studies (iss. 3–4(3), 2018) published an extensive article by V.I. Mertsalov Political “Face” of Chieftain Semenov (the History of the Civil War in the Far East). The author having analyzed a wide range of literature traced the evolution of political views of the chieftain and made a number of fundamental conclusions. According to the author, with all the diversity of views and actions of Semenov, they were consistently anti-Soviet and anti-communistic which is clearly reflected in the thesis formulated by the ataman: “…Where there is bolshevism, there is no Russia”. We can’t but agree with this author's argument. And yet, with all the variety of scientific publications on this issue, it is useful to continue the historical research, fully revealing all the criminal activities of the chieftain. Especially in recent years when among the representatives of the TRANS-Baikal “white” Cossacks and some local historians propaganda has intensified to reconsider the verdict of the USSR Military Board of the Supreme Court to chieftain Semenov and his subsequent rehabilitation. The reason for this is the “newly discovered circumstances” — declassified documents that allegedly indicate that “the charges against the chieftain are absurd, and the investigation and trial against him were conducted in violation of the law”. Therefore, “reviewing the Semenov case would play a positive role in reconciling Russian society”. Proponents of rehabilitation deliberately hide that during his life the chieftain got the infamous nickname “bloody” for what he did to the country. What kind of “reconciliation” — whom and with whom — can we talk about? In this regard, the author of this article offers his own vision of the chieftain case referring to his previous published research in scientific journals and the media.

Abstract. The research aims to analyse the process of utilizing forensic audit report by police, prosecutors and judges in North Sulawesi province. This is an exploratory qualitative research. Data were obtained by in-depth interviews, observations and documentation studies. The key informant is set by purposive sampling with the condition to meet the criteria set to obtain precise and accurate information. Interviews were transcribed into data transcriptions, analyzed, coded, and categorized into themes. Data were analyzed by content analysis. The results showed that the utilization of forensic audit reports by police, prosecutors and judges in North Sulawesi province, through the audit report, both the investigative Audit report (LHAI) and the Audit result report of the loss calculation National finance (LHAPKKN) are formally needed by both the investigation team and the investigator team, both as preliminary evidence and further evidence (proof of letter in the indictment file). Not all investigation activities and investigation activities end up in the judicial process. Some cases, can be terminated at each stage with various reasons and conditions such as: the return of financial loss to the state, the case is handled by other investigation agencies which are KPK or prosecutors, suspects or related parties (Crown witnesses) passed away, or certain subjective reasons. Result also shows that forensic audit report which is not utilised by investigator does not breach the rules in proving the crime.Keywods: Forensic audit, auditor, corruption criminal, investigation, trial, expert description.Abstrak.

The Covid-19 pandemic has highlighted the importance of hydropolitics in South Africa. The country remains one of the driest countries in the world with a below average rainfall of 450 mm per annum. The country’s economic hub in the Gauteng province is largely dependent on water from the neighbouring Kingdom of Lesotho. On a geopolitical level the country also shares various water sources with neighbouring states. This is especially relevant due to the dependence on South Africa, as the regional hegemon, for access to markets and income. However, large areas of South Africa experience extreme water scarcity due to a combination of factors that include climate change related drought, urbanisation and government-related water management failures. In many local government municipalities across the country the lack of government capacity to supply water resources and manage waste water have reached crisis proportions. Many towns and communities across South Africa have been left with unreliable access to sustainable water resources. This is mainly due to a combination of corruption, poor management and the lack of institutional capacity at local government level. The institutional incapacity of government is a result of the governing party African National Congress’ ideological approach to government, combined with political factionalism, which has stripped the civil service of expertise and led to the exodus of skilled individuals from both government and the country. The government’s implementation of the communist ? based Leninist democratic centralism, commonly known as a cadre deployment strategy, has resulted in large scale state capture and corruption that has had a devastating impact on the delivery of basic services such as water. Hydropolitical civil unrest has increased to an extent that, in instances such as the Majakeng and Maluti-a-Phofung municipalities, unrest became extremely violent and disrupted businesses and well as state education and health facilities. This article is an ontological investigation into the hydropolitical impact of, and ideological reasons for, state incapacity to manage water resources and deliver safe and sustainable supply of water to the population. While reference will be made to the general situation in the country, the Majakeng and Maluti-a-Phofung municipalities will be used as a case studies for the impact of water insecurity on political stability. On the other hand, the City of Cape Town’s ability to manage water scarcity and avert a drought related “day zero” scenario is used as an example of what can be achieved through sound management. The article will combine ideological considerations with theoretical explanations of ideology and state failure within a hydropolitical context in order to explain the current water crisis at local government level in South Africa and the threat that this poses to the political order in the country. Being a regional hegemon, any political disruptions in South Africa also threaten the geopolitical stability of the entire Southern African region. There remains a great deal of scope for future geopolitical co-operation around water within the Southern African Development Community that can secure a sustainable sources of future water supplies for South Africa and generate further income for the country’s neighbours. The article evaluates the current water situation in the country, explains the water related geopolitical considerations that the country has to take into account, investigates the ideological basis for government policy and institutional strategy and the impact that this has on the capacity of the state to deliver sustainable and reliable water access to local communities, and then evaluates some case studies that include both failures and a success story. This assessment includes various sources of literature that supply a theoretical conceptual basis for terms such as hydropolitics and ideology. These academic concepts provide the basis for the practical considerations that are an integral part of the ideologically ? based hydropolitical ontological assessment. The article concludes with some broad recommendations on how the country could mitigate some of the hydropolitical challenges that it faces.

Criminal cases of rape very much creates difficulties in solving both at the stage of investigation, prosecution, or at the stage of the imposition of the verdict. The problems of this study are: forms of legal protection given to the rights of Children Which Born fom rape victims in Ex Residency Cirebon Jurisdiction and constraints in the implementation of the provision of legal protection against rape victims in Ex Residency Cirebon Jurisdiction and solutions.The method used by researchers is normative juridical law approach and specification in this study were included descriptive analysis. The source and type of data in this study are primary data obtained from field studies with interview members of the Police of Ciwaringin Cirebon, And secondary data obtained from the study of literature.Based on the results of research that as is the case in jurisdictions other areas, merely enacted regional regulation on Child Protection, but the regulation is not set up for a child born to mothers who were raped or pregnancy due to rape, as well as court decisions, no one has noticed the rape victims who become pregnant as a result of rape, either already known or unknown since the trial process after the imposition of the verdict (ponis), as well as the Agency duties and authorities are not up to provide protection to Children Which Born from rape, but the child of such status as well as victims. Obstacles such as the difficulty to obtain information from the victim because of the victim's mental condition of the child, still quite a lot of people who are reluctant to testify as a witness, investigators have no children, as well as the infrastructure is not yet complete. To overcome the obstacles faced by those already undertaken several measures, among others cooperate with relevant agencies to provide protection and assistance to child victims of rape, bring in psychologists to recover the child's mental disturbed for being a victim of rape cases, as well as trying to convince the witness that willing to give information and not to be afraid to provide testimony.Keywords : Rights Protection; Children; Rape.

The Covid-19 pandemic had a dangerous impact on early-childhood education, lost learning in almost all aspects of child development. The house-to-house learning, with the name Moving Home Learning Program (MHLP), is an attractive offer as an emergency remote teaching solution. This study aims to describe the application of MHLP designed by early-childhood education institutions during the learning process at home. This study used a qualitative approach with data collection using interviews, observation, and documentation. The respondents involved in the interview were a kindergarten principal and four teachers. The research data were analyzed using the data content analysis. The Findings show that the MHLP has proven to be sufficiently in line with the learning needs of early childhood during the Covid-19 pandemic. Although, the application of the MHLP learning model has limitations such as the distance from the house that is far away, the number of meetings that are only once a week, the number of food and toy sellers passing by, disturbing children's concentration, and the risk of damage to goods at home. The implication of this research can be the basis for evaluating MHLP as an adaptive strategy that requires the attention of related parties, including policy makers, school principals, and teachers for the development of new, more effective online learning models.

AbstractPsychological heuristics are an adaptive part of human cognition, helping us operate efficiently in a world full of complex stimuli. However, these mental shortcuts also have the potential to undermine the search for truth in a criminal investigation. We reviewed 30 social science research papers on cognitive biases in criminal case evaluations (i.e., integrating and drawing conclusions based on the totality of the evidence in a criminal case), 18 of which were based on police participants or an examination of police documents. Only two of these police participant studies were done in the USA, with the remainder conducted in various European countries. The studies provide supporting evidence that lay people and law enforcement professionals alike are vulnerable to confirmation bias, and there are other environmental, individual, and case-specific factors that may exacerbate this risk. Six studies described or evaluated the efficacy of intervention strategies, with varying evidence of success. Further research, particularly in the USA, is needed to evaluate different approaches to protect criminal investigations from cognitive biases.

AbstractThe human organ trade is proliferating globally. However, far fewer cases have been prosecuted than would be expected based on estimates of the crime. Research exploring the challenges to investigating and prosecuting organ trafficking cases is practically non-existent. Also no studies exist that explain these challenges utilizing a criminal justice framework. This article aims to explain the legal, institutional and environmental factors that affected the investigation and prosecution of two organ trafficking cases: the Netcare case, exposed in South Africa and the Medicus case, exposed in Kosovo. It analyzes these factors through a comparative, mixed-method design, utilizing a theoretical criminal justice framework. Both cases constituted globally operating criminal networks involving brokers and transplant professionals that colluded in organizing illegal transplants. Both cases contained human trafficking elements, however only the Medicus case was prosecuted as a human trafficking case. Legal uncertainty, a lack of institutional readiness and cross-border collaboration issues hampered investigation and prosecution of the Netcare case. The Medicus case also reported problems during cross-border collaboration, as well as a corrupt environment and institutional barriers, which impeded a successful case outcome. Recommendations to improve enforcement of organ trafficking include improving identification of suspicious transplant activity, strengthening cross-border collaboration and enhancing whistleblower protection laws.

The rules of the Administrative Offences Code of the Russian Federation (Administrative Offences Code) on responsibility for unlawful remuneration on behalf of a legal entity envisage the possibility of additional administrative-legal coercion over a legal entity, in addition to the criminal legal pressure on a functionary. But administrative proceedings, envisaged by article 19.28 of the Administrative Offences Code in respect to legal entities should not be connected with criminal proceedings against functionaries. The legal entity, implementing anti-corruption policy, can take necessary actions, aimed at detection and suppression of corruptive manifestations. The Court should assess the specified circumstances as mitigating the administrative responsibility of a legal entity. Nevertheless, legislation does not contain Special instructions for law enforcement in this part. Thus, the absence in the Administrative Offences Code of the rule allowing exemption from responsibility for a legal entity, which willingly reports a corruption act and facilitates its disclosure and investigation, does not encourage active participation of legal entities’ management bodies in brining guilty functionaries to criminal responsibility. The article provides an analysis and synthesis of the Russian and foreign law, as well as case studies, proposals for amending the Administrative Offences Code in regard to the possible release of a legal entity from administrative responsibility.

Purpose Public sector data analytics concerns the process of retrieving data, data analysis, publication of the results as well as re-using the data by government organizations to improve their operations and enhance public policy. This paper aims to explore the use of public sector data analytics in the Netherlands and the opportunities and challenges of this use. Design/methodology/approach This paper finds 74 applications of public sector data analytics, identified by a Web search and consultation with policymakers. The applications are categorized by application type, organization(s) involved and application domain, and illustrative examples are used to elaborate opportunities and challenges. Findings Public sector data analytics is most frequently used for inspection and enforcement of social services and for criminal investigation. Even though its usage is often experimental, it raises concerns for scope creep, repeated targeting of the same (group of) individuals, personal data use by third parties and the transparency of governmental processes. Research limitations/implications Drawing on desk research, it was not always possible to identify which type of data or which technology was used in the applications that were found. Furthermore, the case studies are illustrative rather than providing an in-depth overview of opportunities and challenges of the use of data analytics in government. Originality/value Most studies either perform a literature overview or present a single case study; this paper presents a more comprehensive overview of how a public sector uses data analytics.
