Abstract

This research investigates the enforcement of defamation laws in electronic media, focusing on the interpretation of "intentional" and "unauthorized" elements under Law No. 1 of 2024, which amends Law No. 11 of 2008 on Electronic Information and Transactions (ITE Law). The urgency of this study arises from legal ambiguities and the rising number of online defamation cases, highlighting inconsistencies in judicial interpretations and enforcement challenges. Using a normative juridical approach, this study analyzes statutory provisions, jurisprudence, and fault theory to assess the practical application of defamation laws. The findings reveal a lack of uniformity in judicial decisions, emphasizing the need for clearer definitions and standardized legal interpretations. This study underscores the necessity of refining existing legal provisions to enhance legal certainty and the effectiveness of enforcement. Practical implications include increasing public legal awareness of responsible digital communication and implementing preventive measures against cyber defamation. To address legal gaps, this research recommends legislative reforms to clarify legal definitions, promote alternative dispute resolution mechanisms, and strengthen law enforcement training, ensuring a balance between legal protection and freedom of expression in the digital era.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of mediators in criminal dispute resolution within the framework of progressive legal theory to achieve substantive justice. It addresses the inconsistency between the ultimum remedium principle, which positions criminal punishment as a last resort, and the restrictive regulatory framework governing penal mediation in Indonesia. The study contributes a conceptual and critical evaluation of how restorative justice regulations limit mediators' authority and hinder the broader institutionalization of penal mediation within the criminal justice system. It proposes harmonizing restorative justice policies with progressive law to strengthen mediation as a humane and participatory mechanism. This research employs doctrinal legal research using statutory and conceptual approaches. The data were analyzed qualitatively through systematic and conceptual interpretation. The findings indicate that although restorative justice has been formally recognized, strict limitations on offense types, loss thresholds, non-recidivism, and victim consent significantly restrict penal mediation. Consequently, criminal case resolution remains predominantly formalistic and litigation-oriented. The study concludes that regulatory rigidity obstructs the realization of substantive justice. It recommends comprehensive legal reform to expand mediators’ authority and integrate penal mediation more fully into Indonesia’s criminal justice system in line with progressive legal principles.

Abstract

Juvenile delinquency in Indonesia has shown an increasingly serious and complex trend, while the various legal instruments and child protection policies in place have not yet been fully effective in curbing the rate of such deviant behavior. This study specifically aims to analyze the gap between the normative framework of law enforcement against juvenile delinquency—particularly through the Juvenile Criminal Justice System and the principles of restorative justice—and empirical practices in the field, as well as to assess the extent to which responses to juvenile delinquency align with the purposes of law in terms of legal certainty, justice, and utility. Employing a normative and empirical juridical approach, this research examines relevant legislation, policies, and doctrinal views, and integrates them with case data, national statistics, and field findings at the levels of the police, prosecution, courts, and juvenile correctional institutions. The findings reveal that although, at the normative level, the Juvenile Criminal Justice System has shifted the orientation of law enforcement toward rehabilitation and restorative justice through diversion, its implementation remains constrained by the dominance of a legalistic–repressive approach, limited institutional capacity, inadequate rehabilitation facilities, and weak involvement of families and communities in supporting the social reintegration of children. This study offers a comprehensive mapping of the gap between norms and practice and proposes a more integrated response model that positions restorative justice as an instrument for realizing the purposes of law, by strengthening synergy among law enforcement agencies, promoting character education within families and schools, and advancing state policies oriented toward prevention and comprehensive child protection.   Kenakalan remaja (juvenile delinquency) di Indonesia menunjukkan kecenderungan yang semakin serius dan kompleks, sementara berbagai instrumen hukum dan kebijakan perlindungan anak belum sepenuhnya mampu menekan laju perilaku menyimpang tersebut. Penelitian ini secara spesifik bertujuan menganalisis kesenjangan antara kerangka normatif penegakan hukum terhadap kenakalan remaja. terutama melalui Sistem Peradilan Pidana Anak dan prinsip keadilan restorative dengan praktik empiris di lapangan, sekaligus menilai sejauh mana penanggulangan kenakalan remaja selaras dengan tujuan hukum berupa kepastian, keadilan, dan kemanfaatan. Dengan menggunakan pendekatan yuridis normatif dan empiris, penelitian ini menelaah peraturan perundang-undangan, kebijakan, dan doktrin terkait, serta memadukannya dengan data kasus, statistik nasional, dan temuan lapangan pada tingkat kepolisian, kejaksaan, pengadilan, serta lembaga pembinaan khusus anak. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa meskipun secara normatif Sistem Peradilan Pidana Anak telah menggeser orientasi penegakan hukum ke arah pembinaan dan keadilan restoratif melalui diversi, implementasinya masih dibatasi oleh dominasi pendekatan legalistik-represif, keterbatasan kapasitas aparat, minimnya sarana pembinaan, serta lemahnya keterlibatan keluarga dan masyarakat dalam mendukung reintegrasi sosial anak. Penelitian ini menawarkan pemetaan komprehensif atas kesenjangan antara norma dan praktik, sekaligus mengusulkan model penanggulangan yang lebih terpadu dengan menempatkan restorative justice sebagai instrumen aktualisasi tujuan hukum, melalui penguatan sinergi antarlembaga penegak hukum, pendidikan karakter di lingkungan keluarga dan sekolah, serta kebijakan negara yang berorientasi pada pencegahan dan perlindungan komprehensif terhadap anak.
