Abstract

The enactment of the 2023 National Criminal Code (KUHP) has implications for the criminal justice system in various specific laws and regulations, including Law No. 7 of 2011 on Currency. This study aims to analyse the position and relevance of criminal sanctions in the Currency Law after the enactment of the 2023 National Criminal Code, using a comparative approach between civil law and common law systems. The study focuses on the differences in philosophy, objectives of punishment, and proportionality of sanctions applied in Indonesia, Japan, and the United States. The research method used is normative-comparative legal research, with a statute approach, conceptual approach, and comparative approach. Data was obtained through a literature study of the 2023 Criminal Code, Law No. 7 of 2011, and currency regulations in several comparable countries. The results of the study show that the penal system in the Indonesian Currency Law is still repressive and symbolic in nature, emphasising the protection of the sovereignty of the Rupiah as a symbol of the state. This differs from the common law system (such as in the United States and the United Kingdom), which focuses on economic functions and public confidence in monetary stability, and the civil law system in Japan, which combines social moral values and economic stability. The enactment of the 2023 National Criminal Code opens up opportunities for harmonisation and reconstruction of criminal policy to be more proportional, humanistic, and in line with developments in the global legal system without reducing the value of the Rupiah's sovereignty.

Abstract

The enactment of Law No. 1 of 2023 on the Indonesian Criminal Code (KUHP) introduces significant reforms to Indonesia’s criminal justice system, making legal literacy among adolescents increasingly important to ensure compliance with the law and responsible citizenship. Adolescents represent a strategic group for legal education because they are at a developmental stage where social interaction, digital engagement, and decision-making may expose them to potential legal risks. This study aims to analyze the role of the Islamic Centre Foundation in building legal awareness among Indonesian adolescents in accordance with Law No. 1 of 2023. The research employs an empirical legal approach using qualitative methods through observations, interviews, and document analysis involving foundation administrators, legal educators, and adolescent participants. The findings indicate that legal awareness programs implemented by the Foundation including legal education seminars, interactive discussions, character development activities, and community outreach have improved participants’ understanding of fundamental criminal law provisions, strengthened awareness of legal rights and obligations, and encouraged law-abiding behavior. Nevertheless, challenges remain, including limited legal literacy, inconsistent participation, and the need for more innovative educational approaches utilizing digital platforms. The study concludes that community-based legal education conducted by civil society organizations plays a significant role in promoting legal awareness among adolescents and supports the effective implementation of Law No. 1 of 2023 while fostering a culture of legal compliance and responsible citizenship in Indonesia.
