  • Community Policing in Singapore
    COMMUNITY POLICING IN SINGAPORE by Mark Low Jian Neng A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in The Faculty of Graduate Studies (Geography) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (VANCOUVER) April 2012 ©Mark Low Jian Neng, 2012 ABSTRACT This thesis is devoted towards unpacking how community policing has been managed as a state discourse by the Singapore Police Force. Firstly, community policing is located within the historical context of a modernising Singapore. This begins with the need for crime prevention that was disseminated through decentralised neighbourhood police posts in the 1980s. With economic restructuring in the 1990s, community policing was rescaled to meet the changing demography of the population. Following an enhanced deployment of counter-terrorism discourse in the wake of 9/11, community policing was re-invented as part of a (re)bordering strategy to safeguard territorial sovereignty and social cohesion. Secondly, the methodology of community policing is visualised through the changing frames of the state-produced docu- drama, Crime Watch. As a television programme that has consistently raked in high viewership numbers for 25 years, Crime Watch texts deserve their fair share of critical scrutiny to reveal the means of community engagement by the state police. Thirdly, the personal networks of Volunteer Special Constables are studied for the insights that they can reveal into the work of policing one’s community. Personal interviews with sixteen volunteers provide the empirical data for analysis. Volunteers have committed much time and effort into performing the work of volunteer police officers. Mediating the boundaries between the police and the public, these volunteers translate community policing into practice in complicated ways that have not been adequately documented.

Yet, at times, balancing security and urban design needs presents unique, though not insurmountable, challenges. This Urban Systems Study charts the critical role that security planning and urban design have together played in Singapore’s transformation from being the crime-ridden city that it was some 50 years ago to one of the safest places in the world today. It discusses the country’s use of innovative ideas and technology, its pragmatic approach to security enforcement and urban planning, and its willingness to challenge traditional Planning for A Secure City norms of security provision where necessary. It also examines how neither liveability nor security was compromised in Planning for Singapore’s plans to better prepare itself for emerging security and societal threats. a Secure City This book additionally highlights how the co-opting or active involvement of the public in various security-related initiatives, and the resulting trust built between the government and people, have complemented and enhanced the efforts of Singapore’s security and planning agencies in creating a secure city. “ A good city, first you must feel safe in it.

Y. Low Department of Sociology, National University of Singapore, Singapore, Singapore ABSTRACT The Nepalese Gurkhas have often been regarded as brave warriors in the scheme of British military recruitment since the 1800s. Today, their descendants have settled in various parts of South East and South Asia. How can one conceive of a Gurkha diaspora, and what are the Gurkhas and their families’ experiences of belonging in relation to varied migratory routes? This paper locates Gurkhas as migrants by deliberating upon the connection between military service and migration paths. I employ the lens of methodological transnationalism to elucidate how the Gurkha diaspora is both constructed and experienced. Diasporic consciousness and formation undergo modification alongside subsequent cycles of migration for different members of a diaspora.

  • DEATH PENALTY and DRUG CRIMES Detailed Factsheet 13Th World Day Against the Death Penalty
    DEATH PENALTY AND DRUG CRIMES Detailed Factsheet 13th World Day against the Death Penalty On 10 October 2015, the World Coalition Against the Death Penalty along with abolitionist activists worldwide will mark the 13th World Day against the Death Penalty by drawing attention to the death penalty for drug crimes. While opposing the death penalty in all circumstances, abolitionists are also committed to seeing existing international human rights standards implemented. Among these is the restriction of crimes punishable by death for the most serious crimes- intentional killing. Background Thirty-three countries and territories 1 provide the death penalty, at least in name, for drug smuggling, according to Harm Reduction International, a drug-focused NGO and a member of the World Coalition. Most are either in Asia or in the Middle East, and in most of them executions are extremely rare. In some the death penalty for drug crimes is just symbolic. Only in seven countries are drug offenders known to be routinely executed. This list has for some time included China, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Vietnam, Malaysia and Singapore . Indonesia is now included following a number of executions in 2015. 2 Throughout most of the 1980s and 1990s, the number of countries enacting capital drug laws rose dramatically. In 1979, about ten countries had the death penalty for drugs. By 1985, that number had risen to twenty-two and by 2000, to thirty-six. Today, the number has gone down to thirty-three countries. The reason this rise was so lamentable was that it corresponded with the remarkable global trend towards the abolition of the death penalty 3.
