Abstract: The current stage of criminal law development is characterized by changing requirements for the personnel skills due to their increasing significance in jurisprudence as a unified system. Therefore, there is a necessity for high-quality and relevant scientific research on personnel management in the area of criminal law. The purpose of the present work is to monitor and objectively assess the features of scientific research on personnel policy that contribute to the development of criminal law as a subject area in Russia. The authors apply the content analysis to study 343 research bulletins of the “Main Results of Scientific Research” from 2006 to 2018 focusing on the structure, design, scientific results, thematic area, relevance and methodology, which reveal the problems of transformation and development of the personnel policy concepts in criminal law. According to the interpretation method, it is substantiated that the scientific priority of research corresponds to the modern trends in the development of the personnel management system in the Russian jurisprudence. In addition, it is characterized by structural and methodological defectiveness, which leads to a decrease in the scientific character of the research’s results obtained. Consequently, their implementation in penitentiary institutions is impossible. It is proved that the implementation of common requirements for the methodology of scientific research on personnel policy based on creativity, validity, science and unambiguity improves the efficiency of scientific research and forms the basis for new scientific developments. The obtained results are of an applied nature and can be useful for the development of the general requirements for scientific publications in research bulletins of the “Main Results of Scientific Research, and also in other scientific research publications on personnel management in criminal law.

Abstract: This study aimed to describe the performance of management accountability in private higher education and its problem in the implementation of good university governance. The study used the qualitative phenomenology approach with a case study design using five private universities in East Java, Indonesia. The universities were selected based on the cluster and rank in Indonesia. The ranking and clusterization were used to evaluate the performance of higher education in Indonesia. The data was divided into primary data from interviews and secondary data from the descriptive analysis. The result showed that all five universities have attempted to increase their performance of management accountability using the capacity-building and good university governance, respectively. However, the primary obstacle of those universities is the capacity-building itself, especially at the individual level.

Keywords: Capacity-building, clusterization, good university governance, tracer study, university rank.

Abstract: Despite the crisis of values that is characteristic of many countries in the world, family remains the focus of the state policy for most of them. It is recognized as the basic social unit of society, whose level of development inevitably affects the progress of the entire society. In this sense, families are active agents for achieving sustainable development goals. Thus, the progress of families will inevitably affect the progress of their communities and societies. This research paper considers a wide range of issues relating to family policy in Central Asian countries, with particular emphasis on the national policy in the field of family relations in Kazakhstan and Russia. The authors consider the concept of family policy and its impact on the family institution, study the role and importance of such a policy in the modern context, as well as analyze the conditions for the formation of the family policy during the USSR period and after the independence of the Russian Federation and the Republic of Kazakhstan.

Abstract: Demographic change affects the socio-economic development of any country. In Vietnam, the population and housing censuses from 1989 to 2019 showed an appreciable increasing proportion of the elderly in the total population and fast ageing pace. Older people have many difficulties in their life. Among them, only 27% have pensions or stable incomes, and the rest 73% live without pensions, facing many difficulties. Vietnam is a developing country, and social security policies are in the process of completion. Therefore, improving the social security system, as well as creating opportunities for active ageing and wellbeing for older people, was one of the strategic goals of the Long-Term Development Plan that Vietnam’s government has been carried out for more than half a century. In this article, the issues of demographic change, population ageing, social security system, social assistance and pension benefits as the actual sociological problem are studied by using quantitative methods and comparative analysis approach to confirm the research questions; the proposals made by the authors can be helpful for today’s reforming social security system in Vietnam and social policy making in context of ageing in Vietnam where a large number of elderly people do not have any social benefits.

Abstract: This study aimed to produce empirical evidence on tendency differences to accept gratuities between individuals with a high level of self-control and a low level of self-control, the conditions are the presence or absence of situational pressure. The method used is an experiment with a 2x2 factorial design. A total of 136 officers and staff in the Directorate General of State Bali region become research participants. The data were processed with statistical parametric, two-way ANOVA. The results showed that individuals with high levels of self-control have a lower tendency to accept gratuities than participants with lower levels of self-control. However, this study did not obtain empirical evidence indicating situational pressures experienced by the individual can affect the tendency to accept gratuities. Interaction hypothesis testing showed that the interaction between the individual levels of self-control and situational pressures experienced affects the tendency to accept gratuities.

Keywords: Gratification, corruption, self-control and situational pressures.
