Abstract

General elections are a crucial pillar of democracy in Indonesia, allowing citizen participation in selecting leaders and shaping policies. Strong criminal law policies are necessary to preserve the integrity of elections, despite challenges in consistent law enforcement and clear definitions of election violations. The aim of this research is to assess the implementation and effectiveness of criminal law policies in preventing and addressing election violations in Indonesia and to identify their impact on the election process. The research findings indicate that the implementation of criminal law policies in preventing and addressing election violations is crucial. This is achieved through stringent election regulations, strict enforcement of criminal sanctions, careful monitoring and investigation, and swift handling of violations. The effectiveness of criminal law policies is also evident in deterring violations, ensuring transparency in funding, and active citizen participation in monitoring. Criminal law policies have a significant impact on the election process. Positive impacts include efforts to prevent election crimes, protect voting rights, and address election law violations through strict regulations. Prevention of election crimes such as spreading false information and the use of violence is tightly regulated to maintain election integrity. Protecting voters' rights is a focal point, with prohibitions against bribery and intimidation practices. However, the negative impact lies in the potential misuse of criminal law for political purposes, which can undermine the principles of presumption of innocence and human rights.

The importance of legal protection for each community is one of the reasons for the issuance of Law Number 13/2006 on Witness and Victim Protection which was enacted on 11 August 2006. This research aims to find out, how the regulations related to victim protection in Indonesia. Then, how is the process of applying for protection of victims' rights through LPSK and finally, how is the influence of the protection provided by LPSK on victims for law enforcement. This research uses a normative method. The procedure for providing protection to witnesses and victims as regulated in Article 28 to Article 32 of Law Number 13 Year 2006 is a process that includes various procedures and requirements that must be fulfilled by witnesses and victims to be able to get protection from LPSK which is sometimes difficult for witnesses and victims. The influence of the Witness and Victim Protection Agency (LPSK) in protecting witnesses and victims has not been maximised, due to the lack of socialisation in the community, especially in the regions, about the existence of the Witness and Victim Protection Agency as an institution tasked with protecting witnesses and victims.

This study focuses on an analysis of the urgency and orientation of implementing restorative justice in cyber sexual harassment crimes. This research is a normative legal research with a conceptual and statutory approach. The results of the study confirm that the urgency of RJ's approach in cyber sexual harassment crimes is because the characteristics of cyber sexual harassment crimes are the existence of victims' losses both physically and psychologically so that RJ-based law enforcement efforts are needed which emphasize victim recovery as well as perpetrator awareness. The orientation of realizing justice for victims through RJ has actually been facilitated in the TPKS Law. This emphasized that victims have the right to medical, social and mental rehabilitation, social empowerment, compensation, and social reintegration. The guarantee for the fulfillment of victims' rights further emphasizes that the main orientation of the TPKS Law is efforts to recover victims. In addition, the TPKS Law has also formulated an RJ orientation for perpetrators that prioritizes social and medical rehabilitation for perpetrators.

Abstract

The enforcement of criminal law in tackling business crimes related to the illegal transfer of land rights must be carried out comprehensively through regulatory strengthening, capacity building of law enforcement officers, digitalization of land administration, and community empowerment in monitoring and reporting to ensure legal certainty and prevent land mafia practices that harm public interests. The purpose of this study is to analyze the role of criminal law in addressing business crimes in the agrarian sector, particularly in cases of unlawful transfer of land rights, and to identify efforts to optimize the enforcement of criminal law to enhance the effectiveness of eradicating such crimes. This study employs a normative legal research method with a statutory, conceptual, and case approach to analyze regulations and the application of criminal law in combating business crimes in the agrarian sector, particularly the unlawful transfer of land rights, through literature review and descriptive-analytical qualitative analysis. The research findings indicate that criminal law plays a crucial role in addressing business crimes in the agrarian sector, especially the unlawful transfer of land rights, by imposing strict sanctions on perpetrators and implementing preventive measures such as strengthening digital-based land administration systems and increasing transparency in land certificate issuance. These crimes often involve document forgery, land grabbing, and abuse of authority by officials, making regulations such as the Basic Agrarian Law (UUPA), Articles 263 and 266 of the Criminal Code (KUHP), and the Law on the Eradication of Corruption Crimes essential instruments for legal action. Optimizing criminal law enforcement must be carried out comprehensively through regulatory revisions, capacity building for law enforcement officers, and community empowerment in preventing and reporting agrarian crimes. The government must also strengthen the Land Mafia Task Force and promote the digitalization of land administration to reduce opportunities for document forgery and manipulation. With this strategy, the legal system is expected to be more effective in tackling agrarian business crimes and ensuring legal certainty and justice in land management in Indonesia
