The purpose of this study is to examine the factors influencing police legitimacy and public trust in the South African Police Service (SAPS), and to explore how these factors affect the effectiveness of policing and crime prevention. The study aims to provide evidencebased recommendations to strengthen police-community relations and improve policing outcomes in South Africa. Despite the transition to democratic policing since 1994, SAPS continues to face a significant legitimacy crisis characterized by low public trust, high levels of crime, and persistent institutional challenges such as corruption, inefficiency, and weak accountability. This trust deficit undermines public cooperation, reduces crime reporting, and limits the overall effectiveness of policing. The study adopts a systematic literature review methodology, drawing on both South African and international sources. It integrates theoretical frameworks such as procedural justice, legitimacy theory, and community policing to analyze existing research, policy documents, and empirical studies. This approach enables a comprehensive and critical understanding of the relationship between police practices, public perceptions, and policing effectiveness. The study finds that public trust in SAPS remains low due to corruption, misconduct, and operational inefficiencies. Community policing initiatives, while valuable, are insufficient without broader structural reforms. Procedural justice characterized by fairness, respect, and transparency emerges as a key determinant of public cooperation. Additionally, visible policing strategies such as foot patrols improve community perceptions of safety, while international evidence highlights the importance of data-driven and intelligence-led policing approaches. The study concludes that restoring police legitimacy in South Africa requires a holistic and integrated approach that combines ethical leadership, strengthened accountability systems, community engagement, and technological innovation. Addressing the underlying structural challenges is essential for rebuilding public trust, enhancing policing effectiveness, and promoting safer, more secure communities.

This study examined the effect of the Treasury Single Account (TSA) on financial accountability in selected Federal Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) in the South– South region of Nigeria, with financial accountability proxied by budget execution efficiency. The study adopted a descriptive and explanatory survey research design and relied on primary data collected through structured questionnaires administered to finance-related staff of five Federal MDAs. A total of 175 valid responses were analyzed using descriptive statistics and multiple regression techniques. The results revealed that TSA implementation has a significant positive effect on financial accountability in Nigerian MDAs. Specifically, TSA coverage exerted the strongest influence on budget execution efficiency, indicating that wider integration of MDAs into the TSA framework enhances adherence to approved budgets and strengthens fiscal discipline. TSA compliance level was also found to significantly improve budget execution efficiency, underscoring the importance of enforcement and institutional discipline in achieving accountability outcomes. Furthermore, cash consolidation efficiency and revenue remittance efficiency both exhibited positive and statistically significant effects on budget execution efficiency, suggesting that efficient pooling of government cash resources and timely remittance of revenues improve liquidity management and support effective budget implementation. The regression model demonstrated strong explanatory power, confirming that TSA-related variables jointly account for a substantial proportion of variations in budget execution efficiency across the selected MDAs. The study concludes that the Treasury Single Account is an effective public financial management reform for enhancing financial accountability in Nigerian MDAs when fully implemented and complied with. It recommends full TSA coverage, stricter enforcement of compliance, strengthened cash management systems, and continuous capacity building for public finance officers to sustain accountability gains.

This research explores the creation of truth in digital journalism through the dissemination of accurate information and combating media misinformation. The study employed a qualitative method to gather insights on developing comprehensive frameworks for assessing information credibility, challenges faced by journalists, and collaborative models for promoting media literacy. Key findings indicate a strong consensus on the necessity of frameworks that integrate technological tools and human cognitive factors to assess credibility. Journalists face significant barriers, including cognitive overload, algorithmic obfuscation, and source ambiguity. Collaborative models involving journalists, educators, and technology platforms are essential for promoting media literacy and reducing misinformation. The research highlights the importance of evaluating media literacy initiatives through pre- and postintervention assessments, knowledge-based tests, behavioral measures, surveys, and longitudinal studies. By addressing these areas, digital journalism can enhance public understanding and decrease susceptibility to misinformation. The study provides insights into strategies for combating misinformation, including advanced verification techniques, cognitive bias mitigation, and interdisciplinary collaboration. These findings have implications for journalists, educators, technology platforms, and policymakers seeking to promote media literacy and combat misinformation in digital journalism.

This article aims to explore the role of universities in the United Kingdom in supporting Arab researchers and to highlight the opportunities available for enhancing scientific research in the region. The analysis is based on the model of Rimar Academy conferences in the fields of humanities and social sciences, in which I participated from Morocco. This serves as a practical example of the Arab researcher’s experience in benefiting from the British academic environment and engaging with an international network of scholars, reflecting the growing importance of international academic collaboration in sociology and the humanities. يؤرًشاد أكبدًَُخ سًَبس اإليكبَُبد وانفشص انًزبدخ نزؼزَز انجذش انؼهًٍ فٍ انًُطقخ. وَسزُذ انزذهُم إنً ًَىرط :ت ع كس فٍ يجبنٍ انؼهىو اإلَسبَُخ واالجزًبػُخ، وانزٍ شبسكذ فُهب يٍ انًغشة، كًضبل ػًهٍ ػهً رجشثخ انجبدش انؼشثٍ فٍ االسزفبدح يٍ انجُئخ انجذضُخ انجشَطبَُخ وانزفبػم يغ شجكخ دونُخ يٍ األكبدًٍَُُ وانزٍ ػكس األهًُخ انًززاَذح نهزؼبوٌ األكبدًٍَ انذونٍ فٍ يجبالد ػهى االجزًبع وانؼهىو اإلَسبَُخ
