Abstract

Consumer protection has become an increasingly urgent legal issue in the era of global trade and digital commerce, where complex market structures and cross-border transactions intensify the vulnerability of consumers. This study aims to examine the construction of criminal liability in consumer protection by bridging different legal traditions through a comparative analysis of contemporary legal systems and Islamic legal principles. The research employs a normative legal method, using a comparative and conceptual approach to analyse statutory regulations, jurisprudence, and legal scholarship from several jurisdictions, including Indonesia, the United Kingdom, and Malaysia, alongside perspectives from contemporary Islamic law. The findings demonstrate that Indonesia's consumer protection regime, regulated under Law No. 8 of 1999 on Consumer Protection, is primarily grounded in the principles of benefit, justice, and legal certainty. Yet, it still places criminal sanctions as ultimum remedium and largely relies on fault-based liability with a reverse burden of proof. In contrast, the United Kingdom applies a strict liability regime for defective products, influenced by the Product Liability Directive, which enables stronger producer accountability regardless of fault. Malaysia adopts a hybrid regulatory approach, particularly in addressing consumer risks within digital and online transactions. From the perspective of contemporary Islamic law, consumer protection is normatively supported by principles such as the protection of property (ḥifẓ al-māl), the removal of harm (al-ḍarar yuzāl), and the prohibition of fraudulent practices (gharar and tadlīs), which conceptually reinforce stricter liability frameworks for producers. This study contributes to the development of consumer protection discourse by proposing a bridging framework between comparative jurisprudence and Islamic legal principles. It argues that integrating strict liability concepts with maqāṣid-oriented Islamic legal values can strengthen the normative and institutional design of consumer protection regimes, particularly in Indonesia, by enhancing legal certainty, accountability, and consumer justice in the contemporary marketplace.

Abstract

This research examines dispute settlement mechanisms within the framework of Indonesia's consumer protection laws and the Electronic Information and Transaction Law (ITE Law). Utilizing a normative legal methodology, the study analyzes relevant legal principles and doctrines, particularly focusing on Law No. 8 of 1999 on Consumer Protection and the Civil Code. The key findings of the study are twofold. First, it identifies that corporate entities bear responsibility for consumer losses under both the Consumer Protection Law and the ITE Law, which provides a legal structure for resolving disputes related to electronic transactions. However, the research also reveals a critical distinction: disputes arising from online purchases generally fall under the ITE Law, rather than the Consumer Protection Law. Second, the study highlights the challenge of interpreting the term "consumer" within the Consumer Protection Law, which explicitly refers to the final beneficiary of a product or service. This definition creates ambiguity in cases involving intermediaries or non-end consumers in online transactions. The study's contribution lies in its identification of a legal gap in the current regulatory framework. It suggests that the Consumer Protection Law may require revision to better address the complexities of modern e-commerce, particularly in distinguishing between end consumers and non-end consumers. By doing so, the research provides a foundation for future legal reforms aimed at improving the protection of consumers in the digital marketplace.

Abstract

Penelitian ini mengkaji pengaruh penerapan restorative justice terhadap tingkat kepercayaan masyarakat terhadap Kepolisian Republik Indonesia (Polri) di wilayah Polres Aceh Singkil. Restorative justice merupakan pendekatan penyelesaian perkara yang menitikberatkan pada pemulihan hubungan antara korban, pelaku, dan masyarakat melalui dialog dan musyawarah, bukan sekadar penegakan hukum secara konvensional. Studi ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui sejauh mana penerapan restorative justice mampu meningkatkan kepercayaan masyarakat terhadap Polri, yang selama ini menjadi tantangan utama dalam menjaga legitimasi dan citra institusi kepolisian. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah campuran (mixed methods), meliputi pengumpulan data primer melalui wawancara mendalam dengan para pihak terkait seperti anggota polisi, korban, pelaku, dan masyarakat serta survei kuantitatif untuk mengukur persepsi dan tingkat kepercayaan masyarakat. Analisis data dilakukan untuk mengidentifikasi hubungan antara penerapan restorative justice dan perubahan sikap masyarakat terhadap Polri. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penerapan restorative justice memberikan dampak positif yang signifikan terhadap peningkatan kepercayaan masyarakat. Masyarakat merasa lebih dilibatkan dalam proses penyelesaian kasus, merasa keadilan lebih terpenuhi secara subjektif, dan mampu melihat Polri sebagai institusi yang mengedepankan pendekatan kemanusiaan. Temuan ini memiliki implikasi penting bagi kebijakan Polri dalam mengembangkan strategi pelayanan yang lebih humanis dan memperkuat hubungan dengan masyarakat. Penelitian ini merekomendasikan perluasan program restorative justice sebagai bagian integral dari sistem penegakan hukum di Polri guna meningkatkan kepercayaan dan legitimasi institusi kepolisian.
