Abstract

The National Criminal Code (KUHP) and Law No.20 of 2025 concerning the Criminal Procedure Code (KUHAP) have strengthened the recognition of victims’ rights, particularly with regard to restitution as an additional punishment. In practice, however, restitution has not been implemented optimally, resulting in many victims failing to obtain adequate compensation. The aims of this study are: 1) to identify and analyse the role of conventional seizure as evidence, and 2) to analyse and formulate the role of modern seizure as an instrument for restoring victims’ rights. Employing a doctrinal approach, this research produces descriptive legal analysis and prescriptive recommendations by formulating an expanded concept of seizure. The findings indicate that both the KUHP and the KUHAP regulate restitution as a victim’s right to material and immaterial compensation and recognise seizure as a legal instrument. However, there is no explicit regulation linking seizure directly to the fulfilment of restitution. Consequently, restitution remains difficult to enforce when perpetrators lack assets or refuse to comply. The study concludes that the concept of seizure must be expanded to include the broader seizure of perpetrators’ assets and the possibility of state-funded compensation to ensure that victims’ restitution rights are realised effectively, fairly and enforceably.

Abstract

Contempt of court refers to acts threatening the dignity, independence, and integrity of the judicial process. In Indonesia, the regulatory treatment of contempt of court remains fragmented and incomplete. Existing provisions, including those in the Criminal Code, primarily focus on direct disruptions during court proceedings, while failing to address broader, subtler forms of interference adequately. This regulatory gap contributes to legal uncertainty and inconsistent enforcement. A notable omission is the lack of clear mechanisms to regulate indirect contempt, such as trial by the press, in which excessive or prejudicial media coverage can influence public opinion, undermine the presumption of innocence, and jeopardise judicial impartiality. This research examines the urgent need for a dedicated and comprehensive legal framework governing contempt of court in Indonesia, addressing the philosophical foundations, the urgency of enacting a specific and impartial regulation, and the limited scope of indirect forms of trial by the press under Indonesia's national Criminal Code. Employing normative legal research, this study draws upon statutory analysis, conceptual exploration, and comparative legal approaches. As a result, a comprehensive contempt of court statute is urgently needed not merely to shield judicial officers from insult, but to safeguard the right to a fair trial, legal certainty, and the continuous, unhindered administration of justice as core elements of the rule of law. Such legislation should protect the integrity and authority of the courts in a way that reinforces democratic accountability and restores public confidence in the judiciary as an institution, rather than serving as a blunt instrument to silence criticism or privilege judicial dignity over systemic transparency.

Abstract

Penanganan kasus tindak pidana korupsi di Indonesia belum dapat menanggulangi tindak pidana korupsi, khususnya dalam mengembalikan kerugian negara secara signifikan. Walaupun sudah banyak ketentuan terkait penanganan korupsi, pada kenyataannya penanganan  tindak pidana korupsi tidak berjalan seperti apa yang diharapkan. Artikel ini membahas tentang pengembalian kerugian keuangan negara yang ditimbulkan oleh tindak pidana korupsi yang dilakukan korporasi, melalui mekanisme Deferred Prosecution Agreement (DPA). Artikel ini membahas apakah Indonesia sebagai negara rumpun keluarga Civil Law dapat menerapkan mekanisme ini dan apakah mekanisme ini dapat mengembalikan kerugian keuangan negara. Artikel ini juga membahas pelajaran yang dapat diambil dari penyelesaian DPA yang berkembang di Amerika Serikat dan United Kingdom dalam pengembalian kerugian keuangan negara akibat tindak pidana korupsi yang dilakukan oleh korporasi. Penulisan ini menggunakan studi dokumen khususnya meneliti peraturan perundang-undangan serta buku dan jurnal yang relevan. Selain itu juga menggunakan pendekatan perbandingan hukum.

Abstract

Korupsi di Indonesia lebih dikenal sebagai tindak pidana yang sangat merugikan keuangan dan/atau perekonomian negara sehingga memiliki dampak dalam menghambat pertumbuhan dan kelangsungan pembangunan nasional, padahal konsep korupsi ini mencakup arti atau makna yang sangat luas, lebih luas dari tindak pidana yang merugikan keuangan dan/atau perekonomian negara seperti yang dikenal di Indonesia saat ini. Artikel ini akan melakukan studi komparatif dengan membandingkan dan menganalisis tentang jenis tindak pidana korupsi dan konsep sanksi pidana yang diatur di dalam Undang-Undang 31 tahun 1999 jo Undang-Undang Tahun 20 tahun 2001 tentang Pemberantasan Tindak Pidana Korupsi, UK Bribery Act 2010 (United Kingdom), dan Akta Suruhanjaya Pencegahan Rasuah Malaysia 2009 (Akta SPRM 2009) atau Akta 694 (Malaysia). Studi ini menemukan bahwa masing-masing dari ketentuan antisuap United Kingdom dan Malaysia tersebut memiliki beragam perbedaan mulai dari jenis tindak pidana korupsi yang diatur sampai kepada konsep sanksi pidana yang dirumuskan di dalam delik, sehingga nantinya diharapkan dengan adanya studi komparatif ini dapat dijadikan referensi prospektif bagi pengaturan tindak pidana korupsi di Indonesia ke depannya. Penelitian ini adalah penelitian hukum normatif/penelitian hukum doctrinal yang menggunakan pendekatan peraturan perundang-undangan (statute approach), pendekatan konseptual (conceptual approach), dan pendekatan komparatif (comparative approach).

Abstract

Video conferencing through video call platforms, such as Zoom and Google Meet, has become a useful option for judges holding criminal trials during the COVID-19 pandemic in many countries. This trend also occurred in Indonesia. Some judges believe that video conferencing technology will help them accomplish justice in an emergency, referring to the legal maxim 'salus populi suprema lex esto’ or ‘let the welfare of the people be the supreme law’. Although virtual trials assist courts in preventing the spread of the deadly virus, they have also affected the work of judges to reach the substantive truth. This paper examines the challenges concerning the rights of the accused and technological matters that have emerged under the use of virtual courtrooms and, in some ways, led to unfair trial procedures. We argue that the absence of laws that regulate virtual courtrooms, along with an outdated the Code of Criminal Procedure in Indonesia (KUHAP), can lead to miscarriages of justice. The arguments presented in this article are based on survey data conducted from December 2020 to January 2021. The respondents are judges from Indonesia's western, middle, and eastern regions who used video conference facilities for criminal court hearings during the COVID-19 outbreak of 2020-2021.

Abstract

The incorporation of plea bargaining into Indonesia’s Criminal Procedure Code has generated debate regarding its suitability for serious economic crimes. While existing discussions have primarily focused on its compatibility with Indonesian criminal procedure, empirical research examining public attitudes toward plea bargaining in Indonesia remains limited. Using survey data collected through non-probability sampling, the study compares public support for the conventional criminal justice system, restorative justice approaches, the restricted and a modified plea bargaining models. The findings demonstrate that respondents expressed greater support for the modified plea-bargaining model than for other mechanisms. Grounded in Cognitive Continuum Theory, the findings demonstrate that support for plea bargaining is shaped by the quasi-rational mode of cognition, whereby individuals rely on both moral evaluations of punishment and rational assessments of whether the punishment is proportionate to the offender’s actions and their impact on victims.

Abstract

Online sexual abuse and exploitation of children is a serious global issue nowadays. In Indonesia, data from the Ministry of Women’s Empowerment and Child Protection (KemenPPA) shows that the number of reported child violence cases reached 24,158 in 2023. Of this total, sexual violence was the most common, with 10,932 cases. The key problem lies in the gap within the Legal Framework for addressing Child Sexual Exploitation in Indonesia. The issue is becoming more serious because the financial sector also plays a role, as perpetrators use financial means to carry out their actions. This has not been adequately addressed by Indonesia’s legal framework. Although Indonesia has prohibited and imposed penalties for perpetrators of child sexual exploitation and online sexual exploitation (for example, through the Criminal Code, Child Protection Law, Law on Sexual Violence, Pornography Law, and Electronic Information and Transactions Law), efforts to address the misuse of the financial sector by perpetrators have not been reflected in laws governing the financial services sector (such as the Indonesia Financial Services Authority Law, Banking Law, Indonesia Financial Services Authority Regulations, etc.). This paper, through a doctrinal research approach, examines the extent to which Indonesia’s legal framework addresses child sexual exploitation in accordance with international standards, conventions, trends, and developments. By analyzing how other countries—such as England, Wales, Sweden, the United States, and Australia—handle child sexual exploitation, particularly in relation to financial service providers, Indonesia can learn valuable lessons. In conclusion, this paper finds that Indonesia’s legal framework is insufficient to address child sexual exploitation and abuse involving financial means.
