Orientador: Lídia Maria Vianna Possas / Banca: Luís Antônio Francisco de Souza / Banca: Terezinha Santarosa Zaniochi / Resumo: Nesta pesquisa, investigamos as relações de gênero, as relações de poder e as práticas sociais que permeiam o discurso jurídico, personificado na figura de seus agentes (delegados de polícia, escrivães de polícia e médicos legistas), na averiguação dos crimes de defloramento (atual crime de sedução); juntamente com a análise do perfil sociocultural das mulheres, na condição de vítima, e dos homens indiciados, no momento de instauração dos autos. Para tanto, realizamos pesquisa minuciosa de 67 inquéritos policiais da Comarca de Bauru (SP), entre os anos de 1920 e 1940, que foram instaurados por crime de defloramento. Durante o procedimento de averiguação dos crimes, são estabelecidas disputas, com assimetrias de poder, no interior dos autos, entre diferentes discursos (do delegado de polícia, dos médicos legistas, do indiciado e da pretensa vítima) pela produção da verdade sobre o incidente. Ao final dos autos, de acordo com o desfecho, a verdade sobre o incidente produzida pode contemplar uma forma de sentenciamento ou uma forma de resolução, minimamente, satisfatória para os conflitos que envolviam violência de gênero, no período em questão. Entre as duas formas, perpassa uma infinidade de adequações do rigor da lei em vista das tramas do cotidiano e das expectativas dos diferentes sujeitos envolvido, assim como os anseios e entendimentos de uma sociedade acerca das representações de gênero. / Abstract: In this research, we investigate relations of gender, relations of power, and social practices that permeate the legal discourse, personified in the figure of their servants (police, prosecutors, registrars and police coroners) in investigating crimes of rape (current crime of seduction); along with the social-cultural analysis on profile of women who were involved, in the case of alleged victims, and witnesses. To this end, we conducted a thorough survey of 63 police investigations in the region of Bauru (SP), between the 1920s and 1940s, which were instituted by the crime of rape. During the investigation of crimes, are down disputes, with power asymmetries within the autos, between different discourses (delegate of coroners, police, indicted and alleged victim) by the production of truth about the incident. At the end of the Court, in accordance with the outcome, the truth about the incident produced can provide a form of sentenciamento or a minimally satisfactory resolution to the conflicts involving violence gender, in the period in question. Between the two forms, through a myriad of adaptations of the rigour of the law in view of the plots of the everyday and the expectations of the different subjects involved, as well as the anxieties and understandings of society about gender representations. / Mestre

Law enforcement agencies worldwide, including those in Australia, have declared partnerships with the private sector to police e-crime as “critical”. However, this strategy faces uncertainties about appropriate formats and the potential for fostering corruption. Sarre and Prenzler’s (2000) Regulated Intersections model proposes that, to avoid corruption, cooperation must be limited and regulated closely. Consequently, this thesis examines the conditions under which investigative partnership policing of e-crime at the state police level can be mutually beneficial to police and the private sectors, while maintaining public interests. The thesis aims, therefore, to establish normative standards and guidelines for configuring effective and ethical public-private partnerships for e-crime investigation. An exploratory analysis of 3529 e-crime incidents, reported to and cleared by Victoria Police during 1999/00 to 2003/04, investigated the nature of reported e-crime, routine factors affecting its successful investigation and whether partnership was one of those factors. A pilot survey canvassed private sector responses to these issues and partnered e-crime investigation. Thirty-seven interviews were conducted with police, private investigators and e-crime victims. During the research, three Australian attempts at public-private investigative partnership formed to varying success, including the Joint Banking and Finance Sector Investigation Team (JBFSIT) at the Australian High Tech Crime Centre.

Thesis (MPA.) -- University of Limpopo, 2017 / The aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of the measures in the prevention and control of organised crime by government agencies based in Limpopo Province. The research was qualitative in nature and semi-structured interviews were conducted with 12 law enforcement officers from the DPCI, DSSL, SAPS, Home Affairs, SARS Customs and Excess, AFU, and the NPA PCLU. Data was analysed though thematic analysis. The results revealed that the government strategies in Limpopo still require concerted efforts in the prevention and control of organised crime. The government has identified measures to fight organised crime and has adopted the criminal justice response/ institutional and the legislative response to the crime. The measures taken by various units are found to be ineffective in dealing with organised crime since organised criminal networks are often flexible, dynamic, innovative and resilient. Furthermore, corrupt activities and collusions by law enforcement officers hinder the effective implementation of the strategies to control organised crime. The findings of the study show that there is coordination and communication among the law enforcement agencies such as the DPCI, SARS, Home Affairs, and the NPA PCLU, among others. This coordination is envisaged through intelligence, information sharing and interoperability. The study highlighted poor implementation of the multi-agency approach as one institution is expected to facilitate and lead the prevention of organised crime (which is the DPCI). The findings further highlight, for example, that the smuggling of illegal cigarettes is currently a challenge for the provincial government as a highly committed organised crime. The study recommends for the development, by the government, of an Organised Crime Threat Assessment in order to effectively recognise the need for responses, which should be based on a sound understanding of the nature and characteristics of the organised crime environment. In addition, it recommends for the development of an Organised Crime Response Plan to align efforts to identified critical organised crime threats. The study further recommends for the adoption, by the government, of relevant multi-agency approaches in addressing organise crime – both operational and policy or regulatory – which will underpin a whole-of-provincial government approach to organised crime.
