The direct family or dependants of the direct victims, who are harmfully affected, are also included within the meaning of the term “Victims”. The predicament of the victims does not finish with the crime but it persists. It may even increase, following the crimes; since they have to face the rigors of the actuality, such as deficient support system, dearth of social backing, and sense of anxiety.

How do communities control crime, and what does this tell us about the problem of negotiating order at the local level? This article will draw on empirical research in two US cities to illustrate how social controls at the local level are negotiated between citizens and law enforcement, and how different structures of this arrangement arise because of contrasting contexts and different institutional imperatives. The article will showcase the evolving role of the citizen as a partner in negotiated order and will speculate as to the future role of community members in the co-production of safety.

<p><em>Corruption is a crime against humanity which is classified as an extraordinary crime. The reform movement that took place in 1998 was motivated by public distrust of the ruling government at that time which was thought to be full of collusion, corruption and nepotism (KKN). After the government in power at that time fell, it was followed by a reformation government. One of the agendas of the reform government is the Eradication of Collusion, Corruption and Nepotism (KKN). Various efforts have been made by the government in preventing and eradicating corruption but corruption is still growing. In the midst of rampant corruption committed by public officials, who in fact mostly come from Political Party cadres, it is only natural for political parties (Parpol) to take responsibility and play a role in anti-corruption measures. Through this paper the author tries to look at the factors behind public officials committing acts of corruption, most of which are thought to come from political party cadres (parpol) and see the role of political parties in the prevention and eradication of corruption.</em></p><p><em>From the above discussion, it can be concluded that all efforts and actions through various approaches have been made by law enforcement officials to prevent and eradicate corruption that has been running for years in this country. The responsibility of political parties (parpol) can be started from the recruitment of party cadres before being distributed to various public positions in the government. Political parties are also responsible for cadres who are involved in criminal acts of corruption by not obstructing law enforcers in the investigation and investigation process carried out.</em><strong></strong></p><p><strong>Keywords</strong>: Political parties, prevention and eradication of corruption.</p><p> </p>

This study is based on the number of cases of children dealing with the law concerning drug abuse. In the concept of human rights, the government including law enforcement officials are required to provide protection concerning the best interests of children, especially child rehabilitation, but on the other hand, there are a number of regulations governing the criminal misuse of narcotics. The research problem is how to arrange children of the perpetrators of criminal acts of drug abuse, and how the rehabilitation policy is given to the child of the perpetrators of the act of drug misuse. The research method used the qualitative approach to a case study. The results of the study show that the Narcotics Act implies that the child is not old enough to be positioned as a victim, since drug abuse is caused by an older person (adult), while the criminal arrangement for children is in the Criminal Justice System Act; the lack of a common perception among law enforcement officials, in relation to medical or social rehabilitation or imprisonment for children; the recommendations of an integrated assessment team (IAT) are often excluded from the investigator; corrections bureau is often excluded from making IAT. The advice given is the need to strengthen the synergy of law enforcement officers, especially related to the role of corrections bureau in the IAT. Keywords: Children, Drugs, Rehab, Law Enforcement, and Integrated Assessment Team (TAT).
