Abstract

Rehabilitation for drug addicts is a treatment process aimed at freeing them from dependency, which is also considered a form of punishment. However, in Indonesia, particularly in Ambon City, Maluku Province, facilities for medical and social rehabilitation are still very limited. The rate of drug abuse in Maluku, especially in Ambon City, is relatively high, with 83 cases and 55 drug abuse patients recorded in 2021. Although Law Number 35 of 2009 on Narcotics mandates rehabilitation for addicts, its implementation in Ambon City has not been optimal due to the lack of facilities and specialized medical personnel. Rehabilitation involves three main stages: medical detoxification, non-medical rehabilitation, and follow-up guidance. However, in Ambon, rehabilitation is only conducted on an outpatient basis, without adequate inpatient facilities. Additionally, the lack of specialized medical personnel, such as psychiatrists and psychologists, hinders the effectiveness of the rehabilitation process. This contradicts the purpose of the Narcotics Law, which emphasizes rehabilitation as a means of healing rather than mere punishment. To improve the effectiveness of rehabilitation, the construction of permanent rehabilitation facilities and the enhancement of medical personnel quality are necessary. Furthermore, there needs to be a clear consensus in defining drug abusers, addicts, and victims of narcotics abuse to ensure appropriate legal handling and rehabilitation. Thus, rehabilitation can become a more humane and effective solution in addressing drug dependency issues in Ambon City and other regions in Indonesia.

Abstract

This study examines the application of the doctrine of participation (deelneming) to acts of abuse of authority as stipulated in Article 3 of Law Number 31 of 1999 in conjunction with Law Number 20 of 2001 concerning the Eradication of Corruption Crimes. The research addresses the problem of whether the doctrine of participation can be applied to abuse of authority offenses, particularly given the differing qualities and authorities among actors in corruption cases. Using a normative juridical method with philosophical, statutory, conceptual, and case approaches, this study analyzes primary and secondary legal materials through qualitative and comprehensive analysis. The findings reveal that courts often fail to distinguish between principal perpetrators and participants in corruption cases, treating all actors equally despite their differing roles and authorities. The research demonstrates that the application of participation doctrine in corruption offenses requires consideration of each actor's authority, whether obtained through attribution, delegation, or mandate. The study concludes that the doctrine of participation can be applied to abuse of authority offenses by distinguishing between principal perpetrators and participants based on their respective roles and legal authority, thereby enabling proportional sentencing that reflects the degree of culpability of each actor.
