Abstract

Judges have the authority to receive, examine, and decide on criminal cases. With the promulgation of Law Number 1 of 2023 concerning the Criminal Code, Indonesia has new criminal law regulations, resulting in differences in punishment compared to the old Criminal Code. However, the theory of Restorative Justice, as outlined in Law Number 11 of 2012 concerning the Juvenile Criminal Justice System, is not included in Law Number 1 of 2023 concerning the Criminal Code. This omission leaves arrangements regarding Restorative Justice for adult legal subjects in Indonesia solely based on internal regulations from the Police, Prosecutor's Office, and Supreme Court. The problem arises when a case involves a Defendant who has compensated the victim for losses exceeding those suffered. This research concludes that judges have not been able to make decisions based on the theory of Restorative Justice because Law Number 1 of 2023 concerning the Criminal Code does not implement the principles of Restorative Justice based on the theories of Howard Zehr and Ali Gohar. Consequently, the Diversion Concept, as contained in Law Number 11 of 2012 concerning the Juvenile Criminal Justice System, should be applied to adult perpetrators if the criminal system in Indonesia aims to promote recovery for both criminals and their victims.

Abstract

Terrorism is a serious threat faced by countries and nations, including Indonesia. Terrorism is considered a crime against humanity, an international crime that endangers world security and peace, and harms the welfare of society. One of the efforts to overcome the threat of terrorism is through the implementation of the new Criminal Code (KUHP) which was formalized through Law Number 1 Year 2023. This new Criminal Code replaces the old Criminal Code that has been in effect since the Dutch East Indies colonial period. This study aims to analyze the role of the new Criminal Code in efforts to eradicate criminal acts of terrorism in Indonesia. The research method used is legal research with a normative juridical approach, with data collection techniques through literature studies. Data analysis is conducted qualitatively, involving the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The result shows that the new Criminal Code has an important role in the effort to eradicate terrorism in Indonesia. The replacement of the old Criminal Code with the new one includes a more comprehensive regulation of the crime of terrorism and in accordance with the demands of modern times, such as providing clearer and more complete definitions, more severe criminal penalties, and firmer and clearer provisions on the prevention of criminal acts. Therefore, the New Criminal Code can be an effective instrument in the effort to eradicate terrorism in Indonesia

Abstract

A consistent criticism of the Indonesian criminal justice system indicates its dysfunctional judicial system plagued by systemic corruption and government interference. Given the high profiles of terrorism offences and their strict punishment, it is essential to maintain consistency in sentencing decisions for these crimes. However, there is a significant lack of evidence-based studies of sentencing in Indonesian courts, and none specifically related to terrorism offences. The aim of this study is to analyse the application of the right to a fair trial in sentencing terrorism offences in Indonesia through the interpretive lens of Southern criminology. This study takes a multi-dimensional approach of historical, legal, and empirical analyses to provide an in-depth understanding of factors that affect sentencing decisions in terrorism cases. First, the historical analysis explains that prosecutions for terrorism today include radical Islamists, minority extremists and separatist groups willing to resort to violence against the state and society to achieve their goals. Second, the legal analysis highlights how the existing sentencing regimes provide limited guidance for judges when determining the appropriate punishment for terrorist offenders, frequently leading to prison sentences exceeding 10 years. Third, qualitative analysis further explains that judges use their discretion to avoid the minimum mandatory sentence in specific circumstances, such as in the case of juvenile offenders. A Southern criminology approach helps explain terrorism sentencing in the broader historical, legal, and socio-political contexts. Ultimately, the way laws are written and how judges determine the sentences of terrorism offences result from the persistent impact of colonialism, authoritarianism, and the 'war on terror' discourse. The case study reveals violations of international human rights rules and standards. Terrorism sentencing practices also exemplify a troubling trend where national security trumps the fundamental procedural rights of terrorist offenders.Keywords: Sentencing Decisions, Southern Criminology, Terrorism.

Abstract

With the development of penal theory, the retributive approach to punishment is increasingly seen as misaligned with the needs of society. As a result, there is a recognized need for legal provisions that reflect societal values and emphasize punishment goals that strengthen the community. Prison sentences often lead to issues such as overcrowded facilities and a failure to meet punishment goals. Additionally, many convicts tend to become recidivists after completing their sentences in correctional institutions, reinforcing the stigma of prisons as "criminal schools." The issues to be examined include: a) how are conditional sentences regulated in Law Number 1 of 1946?; and b) how is the policy of supervision sentences as an alternative to imprisonment in degrading the stigma of prison as a criminal school? The research was conducted using a normative method, with a legislative approach. The legal materials used include both primary and secondary legal materials, which were analyzed using deductive analysis techniques. Under the old Penal Code, conditional sentences did not involve immediate imprisonment; instead, the convicted person was given the opportunity to prove their ability to live as a good citizen during a specified probation period. In contrast, the National Penal Code introduces alternatives to prison sentences, such as supervision sentences. These supervision sentences in the National Penal Code serve as an extension of conditional sentences, placing greater emphasis on more intensive and structured supervision. The placement of convicts outside correctional institutions is considered the primary penal system, with the imposition of supervised sentences based on general and specific requirements. In future implementation, an ideal model for the execution of this supervisory sentence is required.

Abstract

A Notary in Indonesia is a public official appointed by the Minister of Law and Human Rights of the Republic of Indonesia. Its function is crucial in ensuring certainty, order, and legal protection in the realm of civil law. In carrying out their duties, a notary is obliged to maintain the integrity and dignity of their profession by avoiding violations stipulated in the Notary Office Law and Code of Ethics. Administrative sanctions can be imposed on a notary who violates the rules, such as written warnings, temporary suspension, honorable discharge, and dishonorable discharge. Finally, dishonorable discharge can be applied when a notary faces the threat of imprisonment for five years or more. However, if the threat of imprisonment is less than five years, the notary still has the opportunity to resume their profession after serving the sentence. The issue arises when the Notary Office Law does not provide clear provisions regarding the imposition of penalties if a notary faces a criminal threat of less than five years more than once. This situation creates a legal norm vacuum and ambiguity in the role of the Notary Supervisory Board in determining sanctions against notaries who commit such violations.

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to explain how the implementation and the obstacles to the implementation of Restorative Justice to mistreatment crime in North Gorontalo State Attorney. This research became interesting because the District Attorney's Office handled only 3-4 cases with the restorative justice mechanism caused by the social aspect.

Abstract

Sports competitions are a strategic forum for achievement, investment, and even noble values, but they are increasingly shrouded in match-fixing allegations. Arrangements regarding match fixing have not been regulated in their norms, so law enforcement and the government enforce the law without any basis. On the other hand, the government has the authority to take preventive measures before determining the cause of match fixing as an important study. This study examines the philosophy of alleged score fixing based on the function of criminal law based on legal interests in determining an adequate legal framework. The type of research is normative juridical based on a conceptual and comparative approach. This paper proves and confirms that score fixing violates the honor of the integrity of the state. Furthermore, efficient sports competitions with adequate industry revenues are important for the state. Based on this research, score fixing prevention is restoring the urgency of criminal law with the interest of honor in the form of state integrity, namely by restoring proper law enforcement

Abstract

The protection of victims' rights, especially child victims of sexual violence, remains a major challenge in Indonesia's criminal justice system. One critical yet underutilized instrument is the Victim Impact Statement (VIS), which allows victims to convey the psychological, emotional, social, and economic impact of the crime they experienced. However, the implementation of VIS in Indonesia is still limited due to the absence of explicit regulation in the current Criminal Procedure Code (KUHAP). This paper aims to examine the role of VIS in strengthening victim protection and to analyze the inhibiting factors affecting its implementation in the Karanganyar District Court. Using a socio-legal approach, this study combines normative legal research with empirical data gathered through interviews with judicial actors. The findings reveal that the main obstacles lie in three areas: the lack of legal substance (absence of specific VIS regulation), weak legal structure (limited procedural guidelines and institutional support), and unsupportive legal culture (stigmatization of victims and lack of victim-centered perspectives among legal practitioners). The study proposes a structured model of VIS based on Supreme Court Regulation No. 1 of 2022 and international practices, aiming to fill the normative gap and support future reform of Indonesia’s criminal procedure law. Strengthening VIS as a legal and procedural tool is essential for ensuring justice that is not only punitive but also restorative and responsive to the needs of victims.
