Recent researches show the importance of informal social control on crime prevention, especially in cities. This research focuses on crime prevention through informal control by looking at the level of collective efficacy of housing residents. Collective efficacy, is the willingness of citizens to intervene for the common good in the surrounding environment to prevent crime in the community. This study aims to describe the collective efficacy of citizens in the housing complexes and public housing in the City of Makassar. This research uses descriptive statistical analysis. There were 480 respondents taken as samples among housing residents. This study found that the level of collective efficacy of housing residents is generally. There is no difference of collective efficacy between the residents of public housing and those of housing complexes. This causes informal social control unable to prevent crime, which tends to increase from year to year in the City of Makassar.
Salah satu karakteristik negara demokratis adalah kesamaan semua orang di depan hukum. Namun, di negara-negara dimana pembunuhan karena kehormatan (honour killing) masih dipraktikkan oleh masyarakat, persamaan tidak selalu berlaku. Hal ini terutama terjadi di kalangan keluarga yang menganut sistem bahwa wanita berada di bawah kendali laki-laki. Honour killing yang merupakan praktik yang diberlakukan terhadap anggota keluarga yang melanggar kebiasaan adat yang berlaku, ditemukan di banyak negara, termasuk negara-negara Muslim. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melihat perlakuan hukum pidana terhadap pembunuhan karena kehormatan di berbagai negara Muslim. Penelitian ini menemukan perlakuan pembunuhan kehormatan bervariasi di berbagai negara Muslim dengan hukum pidana yang berbeda-beda. Indonesia misalnya, tidak mengatur pembunuhan karena kehormatan dalam pasal-pasalnya, namun memberi wewenang kepada hakim untuk mempertimbangkan dalam putusannya nilai-nilai yang hidup dalam masyarakat. Sementara di negara-negara muslim lainnya terdapat di antaranya yang memberikan hukuman berat sebagai efek jera terhadap pelaku dan ada pula yang mengatur dalam KUHP dengan menjadikannya alasan untuk meringankan hukuman.
