Item Contributors, Indonesia, Volume 83, (April 2007)(Cornell University Southeast Asia Program, 2007-04)Item Criminal Justice and Communal Conflict: A Case Study of the Trial of Fabianus Tibo, Dominggus da Silva, and Marinus RiwuMcRae, Dave (Cornell University Southeast Asia Program, 2007-04)The criminal trials held so far in response to the Poso conflict have not had a discernable effect in stemming violence in the area. Through a detailed examination of the investigation and trial of three Catholic men executed in 2006, this paper identifies several shortcomings in the approach to criminal justice in Poso, and concludes with a number of lessons for how criminal justice could be better handled in future instances of violent conflict in Indonesia.Item The Dirty Work of Empire: Modern Policing and Public Order in Surabaya, 1911--1919Bloembergen, Marieke (Cornell University Southeast Asia Program, 2007-04)This essay focuses on the problems of colonial security and modern colonial policing in the Netherlands-Indies, in the context of colonial state formation. It analyses the intent of police reforms implemented predominantly in Java, 1911–1919, and the results of those measures for the actual practice of modern colonial policing in the city of Surabaya. The Dutch colonial reformers intended to “modernize” the largely indigenous police force, making it both more efficient for state control and, ideally, more responsive to the citizenry’s need for security. The author's examination of three case studies involving the Surabaya police reveals the inherent problem—and the dilemmas of colonial policing—that hobbled this effort to ensure state control and improve security in a rapidly changing, ethnically divided city governed by a colonial regime.Item Editorial Note, Indonesia, Volume 83, (April 2007)(Cornell University Southeast Asia Program, 2007-04)Item Between a Rock and a Hard Place?
