Abstract

This study examines administrative criminal law enforcement in relation to public order violations in Batam, with particular emphasis on sanction effectiveness, public compliance, and regulatory synchronization. The study employs a normative juridical method, complemented by a limited empirical reading of statutory instruments, institutional documents, and scholarly literature. The findings indicate that Batam has established a layered sanction framework through the combined use of administrative and criminal sanctions, supported by a relatively comprehensive institutional enforcement structure. Nevertheless, its substantive effectiveness remains constrained by limited public legal awareness, socio-economic pressures, constrained enforcement capacity, and incomplete synchronization among local regulations, implementing rules, standard operating procedures, and enforcement practices. Performance documents of the Civil Service Police Unit indicate a high case-completion rate for recorded violations; however, this administrative achievement does not, by itself, demonstrate the emergence of stable and internalized public compliance. This study argues that effective enforcement must be gradual, responsive, and procedurally lawful, integrating guidance, supervision, sanctioning, and reporting innovation within a coherent enforcement system.
