The study on Tri Hita Karana mostly focuses on the application of the concept in particular area. Its lack of conjectural discussion opens opportunities for further research. Specifically, conflict is infrequently embraced, despite the fact that dispute is inevitably part of another Balinese balance concept, namely, rwa bhineda. This paper aims to draft a discourse of THK within the standpoint of cultural sociology by tailoring several concepts to identify the raise and possibility of conflict in Balinese social systems. Thence, the paper first reviews THK literatures to examine research conceptions on THK within Balinese customs. Second, the paper proposes extended THK framework to illustrate how conflict can emerge in Balinese practices and explain further understanding of interrelation of THK’s worlds. This paper highlights how the THK can be seen from cultural sociology perspectives to frame the dynamic of Balinese traditions within the contestation of spiritual, nature, and human fields. This study shows that capital play important roles on the Balinese life balance. Capital determines the positions, statuses, competitions, and hence symbolic values of agents in the fields. The paper advocates future theory developments to construct on different framework of THK to better describe the Balinese transitions toward modern cultures.

The link between sustainability and policing has not been widely discussed and systematically analyzed in conflict resolution to gain long term goals of post-conflict recovery and reconciliation. A fairly large cross-disciplinary literature has developed and proposed a multi-dimensional notion of sustainability in organizational performance including public services and law-enforcement activities. Thus, the purpose of this paper is to present a conceptual framework to bridge sustainability practices and policing activities in the background of Balinese mass organization conflict. A conceptual literature review is adopted to customize diverse connections of sustainability, policing, and hence conflict. The results of the research show that the policing activities may place a stronger focus on conflict resolution by developing sustainable conflict transformation when there are regular conflict potential and a dynamic changing environment. The primary conclusion of this paper is that the relationships between sustainability practices and policing activities rely on divergent factors, including social dynamics, culture, organizational structure, and institutional landscapes.

Policing and fake news have been view has a linier relation, particularly by the practice of conventional policing that focus on law enforcement activities. Fake news are negative modes in nature that must be handled in such away so will not triger society disorders or influence people to engage in criminal behaviours. By utilizing conseptual application method, this paper analyses fake news as a meme – holon-parton defined in creative practice theory. Therefore it is part of a field that could make fake news become popular memes as there are competition in the field to gain fake news popularity which also depends upon the purpose and goals of creating them. The popularities give advantages for fake news creators in term of capital and influence agen’s habitus. Overall, the presence of fake news and its popularities affect agents in the field of social system. These fake news (negativity) impacts are the police domain to take necessaries actions in the form of policing choices so fake news cycles to become popular can be controlled.

Transitions in Balinese society as a result of internal conflict are critical opportunities to discover solutions for a better future for the society. The problem is how to investigate the conflict as part of the Balinese transitional development stages. Thus, the objective of this research is to answer that problem by examining the irregular transition stages of mass organization, also known as ‘ormas’ in Bahasa Indonesia, as a Balinese Community-Based Organisation (CBO) to get a better insight into Balinese society's transformation. This research employs a mixed method covering quantitative and qualitative descriptive data analysis. The qualitative data is collected by employing explorative key informant interviews while a survey of 519 respondents in six regions including Tabanan, Gianyar, Badung, Karangasem, Buleleng, and Denpasar is the source of quantitative data. The analysis presents the early stage of Balinese ‘ormas’ development followed by major issues and contradictions of the ‘ormas’ based on Balinese community perceptions. The main finding is that there were distortions in ‘ormas’ life cycles that hid their comparative advantages to become an ideal CBO. This paper concludes that ‘ormas’ transformation is the important step toward ideal CBO as part of Balinese community development. Therefore, adopting Lewin’s change model with general practical steps as well as some policing practices can support the future development of Balinese CBOs for a better contribution to Balinese communities.

This paper examines transparency and accountability perception among prospective police cadets of Indonesian Police Academy (Akpol) recruitment in 2012. The examination was based on survey data of 33 police candidates who passed the final test and 448 police candidates who have to have Akpol's final test at Sukabumi, Bandung, in 2012. The survey also collects information from the Central Java Police officers for further information on the recruitment process. The survey results confirm that the recruitment process was transparent and accountable that represents the satisfaction of police candidates. However, some questions emerge in terms of the ranking process that might need more explanation since the ranking and cut off point for all candidates have never been publicly revealed. This paper simulates a simple additive weighting method that could be an alternative choice for constructing cut off points as well as a rank system in the police recruitment process.
