Abstract

The rapid advancement of digital technology has transformed traditional forms of crime into sophisticated cyber-based offenses, including online gambling, which has become increasingly prevalent in Indonesia. Specifically, the application of Article 303 of the Criminal Code—designed for conventional, physical gambling—proves inadequate for addressing the borderless, anonymous, and technologically complex nature of digital gambling. The knowledge gap lies in the absence of explicit legal provisions regulating online gambling, resulting in inconsistent interpretations, reliance on prohibited analogical reasoning, and weakened legal certainty. This study aims to analyze current punishment practices for online gambling and assess the urgency of reformulating criminal law policies that align with contemporary technological realities. The results reveal that enforcement often stretches Article 303 beyond its intended scope, violating the principle of legality and producing ineffective sanctions that fail to reflect the social and economic harms of digital gambling. The novelty of this research lies in its integrated evaluation of doctrinal deficiencies, judicial practices, and theoretical foundations of criminalization within Indonesia’s evolving cybercrime landscape. The implications underline the urgent need for explicit statutory regulation of online gambling to ensure legal certainty, enhance law-enforcement effectiveness, and strengthen societal protection in the digital era. Highlights: Online gambling grows rapidly while outdated laws fail to regulate digital mechanisms. Applying Article 303 KUHP to cyber-based gambling often violates the legality principle. Urgent legal reform is needed to ensure clarity, effectiveness, and proportional sanctions. Keywords: Online Gambling, Criminal Policy, Legality Principle, Cybercrime Regulation, Legal Reform

Abstract

General Background: Accomplice liability under Article 56 of the Indonesian Criminal Code requires proof of intent, reflected in the accomplice’s knowledge and will to facilitate a crime. Specific Background: In Decision No. 882/Pid.B/2024/PN Mdn, the court concluded that intent in accomplice liability was not established, despite evidence showing the defendant knowingly created and transferred mobile banking accounts to a fraud perpetrator for financial gain. Knowledge Gap: Existing studies rarely examine inconsistencies between doctrinal constructions of intent and their judicial application in accomplice liability within fraud cases. Aims: This study analyzes how the element of intent in accomplice liability was assessed and whether the court’s reasoning aligns with criminal law doctrine. Results: Findings indicate that the defendant’s conduct demonstrates knowledge and purposeful assistance fulfilling the subjective elements of fraud under Article 378 KUHP and the intent requirement of Article 56 KUHP. Novelty: This study provides a doctrinal–case analysis showing that judicial misinterpretation of intent can blur the distinction between neutral acts and intentional facilitation. Implications: The results highlight the need for consistent judicial application of mens rea principles to maintain the integrity of criminal responsibility and prevent erroneous exclusions of accomplice liability. Highlights: The case reveals a doctrinal inconsistency in assessing intent for accomplice liability. Evidence shows the defendant’s actions met the subjective elements of fraud. Misinterpretation of mens rea risks weakening the boundaries of criminal responsibility. Keywords: Accomplice Liability, Intent, Article 378 KUHP, Proof, Participation in Crime

Abstract

General Background: The rapid advancement of digital technology has increased legal challenges related to electronic information misuse, particularly within Indonesia’s Special Criminal Law governing Electronic Information and Transactions (EIT). Specific Background: Cases involving the dissemination of private content frequently raise questions regarding the fulfillment of intent or dolus as a requirement for criminal liability. Knowledge Gap: Judicial inconsistencies in assessing intent—especially in distinguishing intentional acts from negligence—indicate the need for deeper doctrinal analysis. Aims: This study critically examines the fulfillment of intent in the dissemination of private content under Article 27 ayat 1 jo. Article 45 ayat 1 of the EIT Law, based on Decision No. 805/Pid.Sus.2024/PN.Jkt.Sel. Results: The findings show that the court’s analysis relied on three key elements: actus reus, the absence of rights or consent, and mens rea reflected in the perpetrator’s awareness of wrongdoing, while also considering the defendant’s negligence or culpa. Novelty: This study exposes discrepancies between courtroom facts and judicial reasoning, revealing conceptual misalignment in applying intent within EIT cases. Implications: The research provides a clearer analytical framework for judges and legal practitioners to differentiate intentional wrongdoing from negligence in future EIT adjudications. Highlights: The study clarifies how intent is assessed in private-content dissemination cases under the EIT Law. Findings show discrepancies between courtroom facts and the court’s interpretation of intent. The research offers a clearer framework for distinguishing intent from negligence in future cases. Keywords: Intent, Negligence, EIT Law, Private Content, Criminal Liability

Abstract

In Indonesia, criminal law stipulates that a person can only be held accountable for their actions if there is an element of fault, in addition to meeting the principle of legality. Criminal liability aims to determine whether the perpetrator should indeed bear the consequences of their actions. On the other hand, Bipolar Disorder is a serious mental condition that causes drastic mood changes, which can affect a person’s ability to control their behavior and actions. This study aims to examine the extent to which the principle of justice is applied in determining criminal liability for defendants suffering from Bipolar Disorder, as illustrated in Supreme Court Decision Number 1209K/Pid.sus/2023. The methods used include the Statute Approach and the Case Approach. The findings show that the provisions regarding criminal liability are contained in Article 44 of the former Criminal Code (KUHP) as well as Articles 38 and 39 of the new Criminal Code (Law Number 1 of 2023). However, in practice, the judges’ decision has not been entirely fair, as the defendant’s Bipolar Disorder was not taken into consideration. In fact, criminal law should not only focus on punishment but also take into account the condition of the perpetrator, including the defendant’s mental state. By doing so, the imposed sentence can be more humane and appropriately targeted.

Abstract

This study investigates the increasing prevalence of human trafficking in Indonesia facilitated through social media platforms as a mechanism for recruiting illegal migrant workers, as illustrated by the Cibadak District Court Decision No. 92/Pid.Sus/2024/PN.Cbd. In this case, the defendant, Clara Emilia Yulianti, and her network recruited prospective migrant workers without official authorization by offering high-paying jobs abroad, thereby exposing significant gaps in state oversight and digital protection for prospective migrants. The objective of this study is to analyze the modus operandi of the illegal recruitment scheme in this case and to evaluate existing prevention policies to address the legal loopholes exploited by the perpetrators. Employing normative legal methods alongside legislative, conceptual, and case study approaches, the study finds that the perpetrators used social media to lure victims, collect fees, and engage in unlawful sheltering and deployment activities in violation of Article 2(1) of Law No. 21/2007 in conjunction with Law No. 18/2017. Preventive efforts should prioritize strengthening oversight of online recruitment through enhanced cooperation between the government and digital platforms to enable detection, verification, and removal of illegal recruitment content.

Abstract

This study examines obstruction of justice in Indonesia’s positive law as well as criminal liability in the application of single charges based on the Corruption Law. With normative juridical methods through legislative and case approaches, the research analyzes primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials. The results of the study show that Indonesian law does not yet have a comprehensive definition of obstruction of justice, thus opening up a wide space for interpretation. The application of a single indictment in corruption cases also creates legal uncertainty, especially in proving the element of “obstructing the legal process” when the act is closely related to the main offense. This study emphasizes the need for harmonization of norms and a clearer formulation of criminal offenses to increase the effectiveness of obstruction of justice as an instrument for eradicating corruption.

Abstract

Seringnya kasus penyiksaan hewan di Indonesia menunjukkan bahwa perlindungan hukum terhadap hewan belum efektif meskipun ketentuan pidana telah tersedia. Pasal 302 ayat (2) KUHP mengatur bahwa setiap orang yang dengan sengaja menyakiti atau memperlakukan hewan secara tidak adil sehingga mengakibatkan penderitaan atau kematian dapat dihukum. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji kepastian pemberatan pidana dalam Putusan Pengadilan Negeri Nomor 247/Pid.B/2023/PN Nnk melalui teori syarat pidana dan doktrin Erfolgshaftung. Metode yang digunakan adalah hukum normatif dengan mengkaji peraturan, kepustakaan, dan putusan pengadilan melalui pendekatan perundang-undangan, kasus, dan konseptual. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa semua unsur pemberatan pidana terpenuhi, meliputi perbuatan, kesengajaan, kemampuan bertanggung jawab, dan sifat melawan hukum. Analisis dengan menggunakan doktrin Erfolgshaftung menegaskan bahwa akibat kematian hewan melalui cara yang kejam seharusnya menjadi dasar pemberatan pidana. Namun, hukuman satu bulan yang dijatuhkan hakim tidak mencerminkan proporsionalitas atau kepastian pemberatan hukuman. Studi ini menyimpulkan bahwa hukuman pidana belum diterapkan secara tepat, dan paradigma penjatuhan hukuman yang lebih responsif terhadap konsekuensinya diperlukan untuk memperkuat perlindungan hukum bagi hewan.

Abstract

This article examines sentence-execution control in Indonesia, Thailand, and Tajikistan through the distinction between the Verdict Executor and the Criminal Executor as a basis for penitentiary law reform. It starts from the premise that the post-trial stage, particularly the enforcement of imprisonment, remains one of the least theorized yet most crucial parts of criminal procedure, with direct implications for legal certainty, institutional accountability, and prisoners’ human rights. Using normative legal research and a functional comparative approach, the study analyzes criminal sentence-execution systems, justice and imprisonment frameworks, relevant laws and regulations, institutional structures, and supervisory mechanisms in the three countries. The findings show important differences in the allocation of powers and functions between supervisory and executive bodies. Indonesia reflects an integrated model in which prosecutorial authority extends to the admission of convicts and the administration of sentences. By contrast, Thailand and Tajikistan adopt more differentiated institutional arrangements, with specialized and relatively independent bodies responsible for penitentiary supervision. The analysis concludes that judicial supervision of sentence enforcement and the execution of criminal punishment involve distinct doctrinal functions that should be institutionally separated. Such separation would reduce overlapping authority, minimize conflict, and improve systemic order and efficiency. In this context, the article argues that autonomous supervision of sentence execution should be recognized as a doctrinal category within criminal procedure law. It further proposes electronic supervision as a regulatory and procedural instrument to strengthen transparency, proportionality, and human rights compliance during the execution stage. Overall, the research demonstrates that without effective supervision of sentence execution, meaningful reform of the sentence-enforcement system and the rule of law remains unattainable.

Abstract

RKUHP merupakan salah satu rancangan undang-undang yang ditolak pada saat aksi demonstrasi “Reformasi Dikoupsi”. Mereka yang menolak RKUHP tentu dilakukan atas dasar suatu alasan (reason). Tulisan ini berupaya menjawab pertanyaan alasan mendasar mengapa penolakan tersebut terjadi dan langkah apa yang dapat dipilih untuk mengatasi penolakan. Hasil kajian menunjukan, pertama, Alasan penolakan yang dikemukakan oleh masyarakat adalah karena RKUHP dipandang telah memasuki arena private¾hak asasi manusia. Kedua, untuk menjembatani masalah penolakan tersebut, maka perlu dilakukan dialog aktif mengenai RKUHP. masyarakat diberikan kesempatan untuk menyampaikan alasan mengapa mereka menolak.. Kemudian, pemerintah harus mampu menjelaskan HAM dan keragaman pandangan dalam melihatnya, antara lain adanya pandangan universal-absolute, pandangan universal-relatif, pandangan partikularistik-absolute dan pandangan partikularistik-relatif. Serta menjelaskan bahwa berdasarkan Pancasila dan UUD 1945, Indonesia menganut partikularistik-relatif.

Abstract

This study aimed to examine the legal certainty of the sentencing basis in the cassation ruling of Supreme Court Decision Number 283 K/Pid.Sus/2021, and to formulate the ideal sentencing model for determining the legal basis for imposing sanctions on corruption committed by State-Owned Enterprise (BUMN) employees. The research method used was normative legal research with a statutory approach and case approach, analyzing court decisions through library research and qualitative-prescriptive analysis. The novelty in this research lies in the identification of a structural normative weakness in the Supreme Court's reasoning, where the choice of article was based on the magnitude of state losses rather than systematic proof of the elements of the offense a practice that creates legal uncertainty and potential double standards in law enforcement. Based on the research, it was concluded that the cassation decision contained argumentation weaknesses from the standpoint of Gustav Radbruch's theory of legal certainty, and the ideal sentencing model must build juridical qualification in a structured manner, concretely prove formal unlawfulness, and integrate the principle of proportionality combining retributive, preventive, and restorative dimensions in a balanced manner.
