Abstract

This study aims to analyze the shift in legal paradigms and evidentiary issues related to the criminalization of black magic in Law Number 1 of 2023 concerning the Criminal Code (New Criminal Code). The phenomenon of supernatural powers has long been a social reality in Indonesia, but often causes conflict due to limited regulations in the old Criminal Code. This study uses a qualitative descriptive-analytical method to examine the legal transformation in Article 252 of the New Criminal Code, which classifies the practice of supernatural powers as a crime against public order. The results show that the article uses a formal criminal offense construction, namely emphasizing the act of admitting, offering, or promising the services of supernatural powers that can cause physical or mental suffering. This approach is a pragmatic solution to overcome the difficulty of proving a causal relationship between the practice of black magic and its impacts scientifically. This study concludes that this criminalization provides legal certainty for the practice of shaman fraud, but still has the potential to cause injustice due to subjective interpretations of judges and differences between modern legal reasoning and public beliefs. Therefore, innovation in the justice system is needed through the integration of cross-disciplinary expert testimony to strengthen evidence without ignoring the socio-cultural values of society.

Abstract

This research comprehensively examines the legal protection afforded to crime victims within the framework of victimology in Indonesia. For decades, the Indonesian criminal justice system has tended to prioritize perpetrators over victims, leaving the latter's interests inadequately addressed. Employing a normative juridical approach supplemented by conceptual analysis, this study identifies that while Indonesia's legal framework for victim protection particularly Law No. 13 of 2006 as amended by Law No. 31 of 2014 on the Protection of Witnesses and Victims has made considerable progress, significant systemic gaps persist. Applying a critical victimology lens, this study finds that the implementation of victim rights such as restitution, compensation, and rehabilitative assistance remains suboptimal due to weak enforcement mechanisms, limited institutional capacity of LPSK (Witness and Victim Protection Agency), and insufficient victim access to legal information. This research concludes that reforming the victim protection system requires a more holistic approach not merely normative but also structural and cultural to ensure that victims can substantively enjoy their legally guaranteed rights.
