“…Conversely, in the South the ethos of community policing and the low crime rate may be significant. Certainly, Carlson et al (1971) found that officers in a socially aware, innovative department were substantially less authoritarian than their colleagues in a more traditional department.…”

In the development of police officer authoritarianism, importation variables do not appear decisive. Police recruit authoritarianism is no different from that of fire service recruits with a similar background. Initial training, however, depresses authoritarianism despite the unambiguous emphasis in training on law and discipline. Finally, experience of on‐the‐beat policing leads to a dramatic increase in authoritarianism in a traditionally policed area with a high crime rate, but not in a low crime rate area with an emphasis on community policing.

Taylor, (1970), Carlson et al (1971), Zhuravskaya (2008), Fujisawa et al (2015), Kuehlwein and Rosen (1993) look into the foundations of systemic analysis of innovation, including systemic component, systemic structural, and systemic functional approaches. An article by Kroytor (2011) suggests the unique concept of studying innovation on three levels: societal, institutional, and personal.…”

This paper looks into young people's attitudes to innovation. It goes without saying that being innovative is more than just an adaptation tool in a modern society; it is also a personal characteristic allowing one to be an active participant in innovation processes. This is an attempt to study innovative qualities found in today's young students of the humanities and technology. The study was conducted using the Self-Assessment Innovation Scale (a method designed by N. M. Lebedeva and A. N. Tatarko). The key idea of this method is to gauge a person's propensity towards innovation by self-assessing their innovative qualities. The study revealed that most students have a medium level of innovativeness

“…Understanding how current and future members of the CJ system perceive the sex trade is important due to the fact that prior research conducted among law enforcement finds that individually held beliefs structure decision making and influence the way in which officers approach and treat individuals in the sex trade (Carlson, Thayer, & Germann, 1972;Frank & Brandl, 1991;Mentzer, 2010). Specifically, Mentzer (2010) notes that officers' perceptions of prostitutes can influence arrest decisions, officer-on-prostitute violence, and positive interactions with sex workers.…”

Bosnia and Herzegovina has taken a prohibitionist stance when it comes to the commercial sex trade. In the last decade, legislation has been passed outlawing the solicitation, procurement, and enticement of prostitution. Yet, the country continues to be criticized by the international community for failing to adequately address the sex trade within the country, which is cited as a contributing factor in the country’s delayed accession into the European Union. Furthermore, little is known regarding how criminal justice (CJ) practitioners (current and future) view the sex trade, including their support for current legislation prohibiting prostitution. This is an important line of inquiry as prior research indicates practitioner behavior may be influenced by attitudinal beliefs. As such, this study set out to evaluate practitioners’ support for various CJ responses to the sex trade (e.g., legalization of prostitution, the arrest, imprisonment, and/or deportation of various actors within the sex trade) as well as uncover what factors are related to this support, including professional experience and/or participant sex. Bivariate and logistic regression results primarily indicate differences between the groups with regard to their attitudes toward prostitution and misperceptions of human trafficking. Implications from these findings as well as limitations and suggestions for further research are discussed.
