Abstract

The involvement of women in various aspects of life, both socially and economically, has exposed the potential for criminal behaviour among women. This situation has led to the phenomenon of women's involvement in criminal acts commonly associated with men, such as robbery, murder, organized crime, and human trafficking. Poor social and economic conditions tend to be triggering factors and solid reasons for women to engage in criminal activities. This background has become the basis for the increasing number of women in prison in Indonesia, opening the possibility of various forms of violence within women's prisons. This presents a significant challenge for the management of women's prisons in optimizing the reintegration system due to the escalation of significant demotivation resulting from the violence experienced by female inmates, both among themselves and with prison staff. This research employs an exploratory qualitative approach, focusing on women involved in criminal cases and sentenced to prison. Primary data from interview results are descriptively analysed, producing a comprehensive, authentic, and representative narrative. The findings of this study indicate that the concept of punishment in Indonesia still emphasizes punitive functions over corrective functions, where both physical and mental violence are considered effective forms of punishment, especially for women. Violence occurring within women's prisons is then negatively responded to and becomes a driving factor for the decreased interest of female inmates in succeeding in the reintegration program. This reluctance then triggers a negative response from the staff in the form of violence against female inmates. A solution to mitigate violence in women's prisons is the placement in open prisons, with the involvement of independent external parties in both the supervision process and the implementation of reintegration programs to achieve an inclusive and constructive effect for all parties involved.

Abstract

In Indramayu, the spread of narcotics is not a crisis, but if left unchecked, it will become a crisis for the future of youth in Indramayu. This study aims to determine the development of narcotics trafficking prevention in Indramayu district. The method used is a direct interview with the source. The participants in this study are the Head of the Indramayu Police Drug Unit, the Chairman of the Lemah Mekar District Drug-Free Village, and the Indramayu Regency Pamong Praja Police Unit. The results obtained are that at this time the spread of narcotics is still conducive or always monitored by both the community, babinkamtibmas, and babinsa. The distribution of narcotics in the form of Prohibited Hard Drugs (OKT) still exists but is hidden. Counseling is more effective if it is carried out through a personal approach to adolescents aged 15 to 19 years.

Abstract

The development of sexual crimes against children, both children as perpetrators or children as victims lately is very concerning. Sexual crimes are greatly influenced by time and place. The high level of human civilization and the phenomenon of globalization that increasingly knows no boundaries, in this case, is the negative impact of the influence of globalization also contributes to the emergence of various crimes of sexual harassment. Often crimes or criminality occur around our lives, including on the streets or public spaces. From the presentation, the formulation of the problem will arise, namely how is the Status and Position of Children in the positive legal system of Indonesia and International Law? What is the form of legal protection for children who have committed criminal acts in Indonesia's positive law? How is the concept of legal reform on the determination of children's age limits so that they can make a positive contribution to law enforcement?        The methodology used in the study uses a normative legal research method (doctrinal research) which mainly analyzes primary legal materials and secondary legal materials, in this case the researcher also complements the method of interviewing sources that is autorotac, because its nature is more focused on conceptualizing ideas in the form of models, so that the expected results can be applied by policy makers. Violations of the law that have been committed by a child, of course, in terms of law enforcement, are treated differently (diversion) from the procedures applied by adults. Therefore, researchers argue that there is a shift in understanding related to the age of children and people who are considered adults at this time, remembering the fact that some children are not yet 18 years old, but they are physically and psychologically mature. Based on the above explanation, according to the author, it is important to be able to conduct a study on the age limit of children so that they are limited legal subjects because this can be a measure for law enforcement and can provide legal protection for children who are facing the law.
