Abstract

Indonesia's exceptional biodiversity is increasingly threatened by wildlife crime, while the legal framework established under Act No. 5 of 1990 has become inadequate for addressing contemporary ecological challenges. Although previous studies have identified weaknesses in wildlife law enforcement, few have translated ecological justice into concrete principles for reforming Indonesian wildlife criminal law. This study examines the urgency of wildlife criminal law reform and develops an ecocentric framework grounded in ecological justice. It employs normative (doctrinal) legal research, using statutory, conceptual, and comparative approaches grounded in legislation, international legal instruments, judicial decisions, scholarly literature, and institutional reports. Legal materials were analysed qualitatively through grammatical, systematic, teleological, evaluative, and prescriptive reasoning. The findings reveal that outdated legal provisions, disproportionate sanctions, fragmented institutions, and limited recognition of ecological integrity as a protected legal interest constrain the current framework. Comparative analysis highlights the importance of aggravated offences, corporate liability, confiscation and restoration orders, proportionate sanctions, and specialised wildlife crime units. The study concludes that Indonesian wildlife criminal law should adopt an ecocentric approach integrating ecological justice into offence structures, sanctions, and institutional mechanisms. This study contributes a normative framework for strengthening Indonesian criminal law reform and biodiversity protection through ecologically oriented wildlife governance.

Abstract

Penyalahgunaan data pribadi dalam praktik pinjaman koperasi merupakan bentuk kejahatan siber yang mengancam hak privasi, keamanan ekonomi, serta kepercayaan publik terhadap lembaga keuangan berbasis kerakyatan. Meskipun Undang-Undang Nomor 27 Tahun 2022 tentang Perlindungan Data Pribadi telah memberikan dasar pemidanaan, praktik peradilan masih menyisakan persoalan mengenai urgensi penguatan pertanggungjawaban pidana, khususnya pada aspek proporsionalitas pemidanaan dan perlindungan korban. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis urgensi pertanggungjawaban pidana terhadap pelaku penyalahgunaan data pribadi dalam pinjaman koperasi melalui Putusan Pengadilan Negeri Tanjungkarang Nomor 1134/Pid.Sus/2024/PN Tjk. Metode penelitian menggunakan pendekatan hukum normatif dengan pendekatan perundang-undangan, konseptual, dan studi kasus. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa meskipun unsur delik telah terpenuhi, pemidanaan yang dijatuhkan cenderung ringan, perlindungan korban belum optimal, serta pertanggungjawaban masih berorientasi pada pelaku individual tanpa menyentuh tanggung jawab kelembagaan. Kondisi ini menegaskan pentingnya reorientasi penegakan hukum agar pertanggungjawaban pidana benar-benar berfungsi sebagai instrumen perlindungan data pribadi di era digital.

Abstract

Student brawls involving children remain a recurring social phenomenon in Indonesia and frequently result in serious criminal offenses, including those causing death. Children as perpetrators of criminal acts occupy a special position within the criminal justice system; therefore, their criminal liability cannot be equated with that of adults. This study aims to analyze the criminal liability of children involved in brawls resulting in death and to examine the application of legal provisions in the Decision of the Tanjung Karang District Court based on the Child Protection Act and the Juvenile Criminal Justice System. The research employs normative juridical and empirical juridical approaches through the study of statutory regulations, analysis of court decisions, and interviews with law enforcement officers. The data were analyzed qualitatively to describe the implementation of juvenile criminal law. The findings indicate that child offenders may still be held criminally liable while observing the principle of the best interest of the child. Judges consider both juridical and non-juridical aspects, including the child’s role in the offense, age, psychological condition, and social inquiry reports, resulting in sanctions that emphasize rehabilitation rather than retribution. This study concludes that the application of juvenile criminal law in cases of brawls resulting in death is in accordance with prevailing legal provisions; however, improvements in the quality of case handling by law enforcement agencies are still necessary to ensure balanced and sustainable child protection and justice for victims.

Abstract

Advances in information and communication technology have brought various conveniences to individual life; however, they have also given rise to new forms of criminal activity, including cyberbullying. Such acts can carry psychological, social, and educational consequences, with children and adolescents being particularly vulnerable to becoming victims. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of legal protection measures for children who are victims of cyberbullying at SMA Negeri 9 Bandar Lampung, and to identify the factors that contribute to the effectiveness of those measures. The research employs a normative and empirical juridical approach, drawing on primary data obtained through interviews with the Deputy Head of Student Affairs of SMA Negeri 9 Bandar Lampung and the Women's and Children's Service Unit (PPA) of the Bandar Lampung Police, as well as secondary data obtained through literature review. The findings show that legal protection for minors who become victims of cyberbullying has been implemented through preventive and repressive measures. Prevention efforts include awareness campaigns, education on social media use, guidance, supervision, and the cultivation of moral values and legal awareness. Repressive measures, meanwhile, are implemented by handling both victims and perpetrators, providing assistance, mediation, and coaching, as well as facilitating the victim's recovery. Legal, law-enforcement, facility-related, societal, and cultural factors all contribute to the effectiveness of this legal protection.

Abstract

This study analyzes the optimization of the role and function of the Public Prosecutor in Indonesia's criminal justice system under the New Criminal Procedure Code (Law Number 20 of 2025) in handling assault cases resulting in death. Using a normative-empirical legal approach, the research combines statutory and literature analysis with field data obtained through interviews at the Pesawaran District Attorney's Office. The findings indicate that the New Criminal Procedure Code strengthens the Public Prosecutor's position as dominus litis, enabling active involvement from the investigation stage through enhanced coordination with investigators, joint case conferences, and quality control over investigations. These reforms improve prosecutorial effectiveness, reduce repetitive case-file returns, and support a more integrated criminal justice system. The findings are analyzed using Joseph Goldstein's Criminal Justice System theory, which emphasizes total enforcement, full enforcement, and actual enforcement, as well as Philipus M. Hadjon's Authority Theory and Andi Hamzah's Prosecution Theory. The study concludes that strengthening the authority of the Public Prosecutor under the New Criminal Procedure Code promotes a more effective, accountable, and integrated criminal justice system while ensuring legal certainty, justice, and the protection of human rights in criminal proceedings.

Abstract

This research is motivated by the rise of online gambling site promotions through social media, particularly by influencers, which has significantly impacted the increase in gambling practices among the public. The development of information technology not only brings positive impacts but also poses threats in the form of cybercrime, including online gambling promotions. One of the actual cases that is the focus of this study is the case of the promotion of an online gambling site by a woman who was then prosecuted at the Tanjung Karang District Court. The problem formulation in this research covers two main things: the form of accountability of the perpetrator of the crime of online gambling promotion, and the judge's considerations in determining criminal sanctions for the perpetrator. This study aims to analyze the legal basis and juridical considerations used by judges in issuing decisions against defendants who participated in the promotion of online gambling sites. The method used in this research is a normative and empirical juridical approach, with data collection through literature studies and direct interviews with relevant parties, such as investigators, prosecutors, and judges. The data obtained is analyzed qualitatively to describe aspects of criminal responsibility and judges' considerations in depth based on the decision of case Number: 967/Pid.Sus/2024/PN Tjk. The results of the study indicate that the defendant in this case was subject to sanctions based on Article 27 paragraph (2) Jo. Article 45 paragraph (3) of the ITE Law, Jo. Article 55 paragraph (1) point 1 of the Criminal Code for participating in promoting online gambling sites through an Instagram account. The judge considered various aspects, including evidence, the defendant's confession, and the social impact of the action. The defendant was sentenced to 1 year and 4 months in prison and a fine of Rp. 10,000,000.00. The judge's considerations in handing down the verdict included aggravating factors, such as not supporting government efforts to eradicate gambling, and mitigating factors, such as the defendant's cooperative attitude during the trial. This demonstrates the importance of the judge's role in balancing aspects of justice and legal certainty, especially in cases involving the misuse of digital media for unlawful purposes. The author recommends that efforts to prevent the promotion of online gambling be strengthened through monitoring digital platforms and educating the public, especially the younger generation, regarding the legal and social impacts of involvement in online gambling activities. In addition, law enforcement officers are expected to improve coordination and responsiveness to new modes that utilize social media for cybercrime.

Abstract

Sesuai dengan UU Tahun 1999 tentang Kehutanan di Indonesia yang bertujuan untuk melestarikan hutan serta kayu serta untuk membagikan landasan yang legal untuk pemerintah dalam mengatur perizinan serta pembedahan penebangan yang legal, namun pada kenyataannya tidak berjalan sesuai aturan tersebut. Fenomena maraknya praktik illegal logging di Kabupaten Manokwari menimbulkan dampak serius terhadap kelestarian hutan dan keseimbangan ekosistem. Permasalahan ini bukan hanya berdampak pada kerusakan lingkungan, tetapi juga memengaruhi kondisi sosial-ekonomi masyarakat sekitar hutan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis dinamika sosial yang terjadi akibat praktik illegal logging di Manokwari serta meninjau peran pemerintah dalam menanggulanginya. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah normatif-empiris dengan pendekatan kualitatif, di mana data diperoleh melalui studi kepustakaan, observasi lapangan, dan wawancara dengan masyarakat serta pihak pemerintah terkait. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa praktik illegal logging terjadi karena lemahnya pengawasan, keterbatasan alternatif mata pencaharian, serta kurangnya kesadaran masyarakat akan pentingnya kelestarian hutan. Sementara itu, upaya pemerintah dinilai belum optimal, meskipun terdapat regulasi yang sudah jelas, sehingga dibutuhkan penguatan sinergi antara masyarakat dan pemerintah dalam menjaga kelestarian hutan Manokwari. Tindakan tegas tanpa diskriminasi terhadap pelaku, baik perorangan maupun kelompok besar, menjadi langkah penting untuk menimbulkan efek jera. Dukungan teknologi seperti pemantauan hutan berbasis satelit dan sistem informasi geospasial juga dapat membantu pengawasan lebih efektif, sehingga proses pengendalian kerusakan hutan bisa dilakukan dengan cepat dan tepat sasaran.

Abstract

Introduction: The rapid development of information and communication technology has changed the landscape of people's lives, making the digital space an essential arena for interaction. However, this progress has also opened a gap for the birth of cybercrime, including threats and the spread of immoral content through electronic media. These crimes not only violate legal norms, but also threaten the privacy, dignity, and psychological condition of victims, thus creating new challenges in realizing justice. Purposes of the Research: To analyze the criminal law arrangements in Indonesia related to criminal acts of threats and the dissemination of immoral content through electronic media, examine the criminal liability of perpetrators based on the Tanjungkarang District Court Decision Number 1056/Pid.Sus/2024/PN Tjk, and evaluate the extent to which the judge's considerations in the decision reflect the principles of digital justice for victims. Methods of the Research: The research uses normative and empirical legal approaches with conceptual study methods, legislative analysis, and case studies. Secondary data (laws and regulations, literature) and primary data (interviews with law enforcement officials) were collected and analyzed qualitatively. Results Main Findings of the Research: The findings show that Indonesia's criminal law, through the Electronic Information and Transaction Law, the Pornography Law, and the Criminal Code, has comprehensively regulated this crime. The criminal responsibility of the perpetrators has been analyzed based on the elements of acts, mistakes, and the ability to be responsible. The Tanjungkarang District Court Decision Number 1056/Pid.Sus/2024/PN Tjk reflects the principle of digital justice by considering the psychological and social impact of the victim and imposing strict penalties. However, the digital justice that is realized is still partial because it does not explicitly include a comprehensive victim recovery mechanism.
