Abstract:Methods for the elimination of police corruption to enhance integrity, usually disregards its roots that are connected to societal elements in light of the fact that police corruption has societal causes and implementing a change of the police needs, to certain degree, transforming the community. In this research, a qualitative approach (semi-structured interviews, focus group meetings and observations) was used the analysis methods from social profiles categorized as per their degree of police corruption util… Show more
“…Extortions and bribes are reported among police officers who use the power of the police and adopt the extra-legal acts (Singh, 2022). Khan et al (2021) also supports the findings of Singh ( 2022), and Malik and Qureshi (2021) also make the case that the PSP uses its official de-jure influence for de-facto gains.…”
The colonial legacy remains visible in the Police Service of Pakistan (PSP). The PSP officers identify themselves as something different and superior to the public. It is common for PSP to view the public how the colonial master viewed the subjects of colonial rule. The study adopted an interpretivist approach with a constructivist ontological stance using thematic analysis on in-depth interviews conducted with the respondents. The study found that PSP has retained its colonial imprint. As an institution, the PSP identifies itself as above the law and disconnected from the public. The narrative of “us” and “them”. The xenocentric attitude, viewing the public as inferior and savage people and, most importantly, thinking that the main job of the police as an organization is to maintain order rather than prevent crime, serves as evidence that the police service of Pakistan has kept its colonial legacy intact. It treats the public as “subjects” to be suppressed rather than served. The 1861 Police Act and colonial legislations help the PSP keep the colonial legacy alive. The PSP as an institution serves as an example of the persistence of colonial institutions with resistance to change and reform.

“…He argued that this situation makes people and organizations develop learning as a whole, providing transparency, consistency, coherence, and commitment. However, in a separate study by Khan et al (2021), the outcomes revealed that none of these aspects of integrity can be fully realized in the individual or in an organization. Integrity is also known as a term for a continual learning process with the person discovering more about the different aspects of the self and others and how these two connect (Robinson & Dowson, 2011).…”
Today, integrity compliance is one of the crucial and became major requirements that have to be met to improve the best work culture and ethics in the organization. This is also to ensure continuous improvement of service quality and excellent tasks performed by organization personnel. Organizations with a workforce that embraces high integrity will undoubtedly have an excellent reputation in society, and the ability to provide quality services and, as well, as significant performance improvements. Recently, there were some complaints and dissatisfaction by the public with RMP personnel in relation to their integrity level. This research aims to investigate integrity compliance which consists of policy and procedures, training programme and commitment as determinants that precipitate the deterioration of police personnel integrity values and task performance. A quantitative study was used supported by structured questionnaires survey for obtaining primary data and information needed. A structured interview was also conducted with selected officers. There were 261 respondents involved and data were collected from selected police districts in Sarawak. Based on rigorous reviewing of past literature, instrument designing and subsequent pilot testing with three (3) hypotheses identified. The data were analyzed and tested using the statistical technique SPSS version 26. The findings revealed that integrity compliance has a direct relationship with police personnel’s task performance. A significant regression equation was found, F(3, 258)= 30.945, p< .05, with an R² = .265. The R² value of .265 indicates that 26.5% of the variation in work performance is significantly explained by the model containing the three independent variables; policy and procedure, training programme and commitment. Therefore, the study contributes to the development of integrity and compliance literature by providing a reasonable explanation of its effects on police personnel’s task performance.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0026/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
“…The Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) is a sophisticated network of technologies and infrastructure designed to improve transportation systems' safety, efficiency, and sustainability. The Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) is a theoretical framework that integrates transportation infrastructure with information and communication technology to enhance its effectiveness, safety, and sustainability (Laksana, 2019;Suthanaya, 2023) Regarding security, ITS can employ communication technology to enable interaction between infrastructure and vehicles (Huang et al, 2017;Khan et al, 2021). A collision notification system can be installed in a vehicle, automatically transmitting signals to the control center in the event of an accident.…”
This research aims to investigate the utilization of intelligent traffic systems (ITS) to address traffic issues in regions popular among tourists. The present study employs a literature review methodology to systematically analyze and compile diverse research findings about the utilization of technology in traffic engineering within tourist destinations. The results indicate that implementing intelligent transportation systems (ITS) can be viable for addressing traffic management challenges in tourist destinations. Integrating information and communication technology (ICT) can optimize traffic management, enhance transportation infrastructure, augment transportation coordination and management, and bolster traffic security in tourist destinations. The prescribed steps for implementing ITS involve conducting a thorough analysis of needs, devising, and designing an appropriate ITS solution, executing the implementation process, and operationalizing and maintaining the ITS system. The study's findings suggest that Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) hold significant promise for enhancing traffic management in tourist regions. Implementing suitable measures by Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) can effectively address traffic congestion, insufficient infrastructure, inadequate coordination, and safety concerns in managing traffic in tourist destinations. Furthermore, implementing Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) can enhance efficiency, safety, and the overall tourist experience while mitigating the environmental footprint of transportation systems in tourist destinations. The Intelligent Traffic System (ITS) is a traffic management solution that utilizes information and communication technology to enhance traffic flow and safety. ITS is particularly relevant in tourist areas where traffic congestion can be a significant issue.
