During the Covid-19 Pandemic, weak monitoring and evaluation have opened greater opportunities for money laundering and, in general, corruption cases. The Indonesian Survey Institute revealed data, which exposes an increase of 39.6% of the public’s perception regarding the scale of corruption cases during the pandemic. This survey is in line with the data of the Indonesian Corruption Watch mentioning 169 corruption cases during the first period of 2020. In the era of economic and health crises, corruption surely may provide greater impact and damage to the state governance and community activities. This study aims to measure the optimization of actual efforts to counter corruption during the Covid-19 Pandemic. It is a descriptive-qualitative with literature study to reveal facts. The method is in line with the use of information management activities carried out by formal and non-formal institutions during the Covid-19 pandemic. The target population is state institutions or government agencies that act as law enforcers to counter money laundering or, in general, corruption. The target population covers them who have specialization to operate tasks dealing with corruption crimes. The study shows that there have been many programs and synergies carried out by law enforcers and the government. However, they have not been able to mitigate and to eradicate corruption. Therefore, for the purpose of improvement, the parties need to adjust monitoring and evaluation system with the Covid-19 Pandemic conditions.
The rampant localization of prostitution that moves implicitly on the Nusantara Street of Makassar causes a long-standing problem that is neglected in terms of legislation, sexually transmitted diseases, and human trafficking. This study aims to provide information about raising social reality through case studies of the relationship between commercial sex workers and nightclubs (THM) on Nusantara street, as well as an observation of the phenomenon of pimps, customers, and commercial sex workers in the Indonesian legal system, and comparison on the perspectives of the government and local regulations in the City of Makassar. The method used in this research is depth interview, observation, and literature review. The findings indicate that there is a mutual relationship between nightclubs (THM) and prostitution activities, and that they even benefit each other. In addition, the existence of Regional Law on the Supervision and Control of the Procurement, Distribution, and Sale of Alcoholic Beverages shows that there is no firm step taken by the local authorities to minimize the activities of nightlife entertainment and hidden prostitution.
