Abstract

The ratification of the New Criminal Code (Law No. 1 of 2023) marks a paradigm shift towards restorative justice by recognizing the fulfillment of customary obligations as a valid criminal sanction. However, the absence of procedural technical guidelines creates a significant gap in the integration of customary law into the formal justice system, which could lead to legal uncertainty. This study aims to develop an operational framework using a “Layered Hybrid Model” to bridge customary criminal law and state law without violating human rights. Using sociological-legal methods and empirical data from South Buru Island, Maluku, as well as comparative analysis of customary courts in New Zealand and Canada, this study formulates a two-tiered mechanism. The first tier places customary law (Epkeret) as the primum remedium for social restoration, while the second tier establishes state law as the ultimum remedium for serious crimes. This article offers the first operational institutional design for customary criminal justice in Indonesia by proposing a State-Community Validation Forum as a constitutional filter mechanism. This model encourages a transition from weak legal pluralism to “strong and controlled legal pluralism,” ensuring that customary justice is constitutionally valid and operationally applicable in a modern criminal justice system.

Abstract

Maluku Province, with its archipelagic characteristics, experiences the impact of corruption in nearly all its regencies and cities, where government officials often collaborate with private entities in corrupt practices. This study aims to discuss the optimization of the criminal justice system in identifying corruption patterns in government administration and development in Maluku Province. The research employs an empirical approach. The findings reveal five distinct corruption patterns in government administration and development in Maluku Province, jointly perpetrated by regional government officials and private actors. These patterns include land price manipulation, contract price inflation, overpayments, tax fraud, and fictitious activities.The study concludes that optimizing the role of the criminal justice system in identifying corruption patterns requires strengthening the institutional capacity of the Indonesian National Police (Polri) in its duties as a recipient of reports, investigator, and examiner of corruption cases. Moving forward, a more intensive coordination among all state institutions involved in criminal justice is necessary to support the government in addressing the growing issue of corruption
