Abstract

This research aims to investigate the implementation of Restorative Justice in discontinuing investigations at Polresta Jambi. Against the backdrop of Indonesia's integrated criminal justice system and the necessity for a more comprehensive approach to handling criminal cases, Restorative Justice emerges as a primary focus. However, the challenges encountered in its application at Polresta Jambi necessitate a thorough understanding. The research methodology utilized is qualitative, incorporating techniques such as interviews, observations, and document analysis. The findings reveal that while Polresta Jambi is committed to implementing Restorative Justice, it faces several obstacles. Chief among these is the reluctance of victims to settle cases amicably, instances of cross-reporting between victims and suspects, and suspect evasion. Despite these challenges, Polresta Jambi has taken strategic measures to address them. These include the processes of case identification, the formation of Restorative Justice teams, structured dialogues, and the introduction of rehabilitation concepts as integral components of case resolution efforts. Nonetheless, the need for a clearer understanding of the Restorative Justice concept and societal reactions to discontinuing investigations presents additional hurdles. In conclusion, while challenges persist, Polresta Jambi's efforts demonstrate a commitment to implementing Restorative Justice. This implementation offers a more humane and effective alternative in handling criminal cases, though continued evaluation and refinement are necessary to enhance its efficacy. ABSTRAK Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengeksplorasi implementasi Restorative Justice dalam penghentian penyidikan di Polresta Jambi. Dengan latar belakang sistem peradilan pidana yang terpadu di Indonesia dan kebutuhan akan pendekatan yang lebih holistik dalam menangani kasus kriminal, Restorative Justice menjadi fokus utama. Namun, kendala dalam penerapannya di Polresta Jambi memerlukan pemahaman yang mendalam. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah kualitatif dengan teknik wawancara, observasi, dan analisis dokumen. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa Polresta Jambi telah berkomitmen menerapkan Restorative Justice, namun masih menghadapi beberapa kendala. Salah satu kendala utama adalah ketidaksetujuan korban untuk menyelesaikan perkara secara damai, pelaporan silang antara korban dan terlapor, serta pelarian terlapor. Namun demikian, Polresta Jambi telah mengambil langkah-langkah strategis dalam menghadapi tantangan ini. Proses identifikasi kasus, pembentukan tim Restorative Justice, dialog terstruktur, dan konsep rehabilitasi menjadi bagian integral dari upaya penyelesaian kasus. Meskipun demikian, perlunya pemahaman yang lebih jelas tentang konsep Restorative Justice dan reaksi masyarakat terhadap penghentian penyidikan menjadi kendala tersendiri. Dari hasil penelitian, disimpulkan bahwa meskipun ada kendala, Polresta Jambi telah menunjukkan komitmen dalam menerapkan Restorative Justice. Implementasi ini memberikan alternatif yang lebih manusiawi dan efektif dalam menangani kasus kriminal, meskipun masih memerlukan evaluasi dan perbaikan lebih lanjut untuk meningkatkan keberhasilannya.

Abstract

The purpose of this research: To analyze the basis of the judge's considerations in decision number 106/Pid.Sus/2024/PN Mbn and number 104/Pid.Sus/2024/PN Jap as well as analyze the substantial differences in the legal facts considered between decision number 106/ Pid.Sus/2024/Pn Mbn and number 104/Pid.Sus/2024/PN Jap. This research method: uses normative juridical legal research. The results of the analysis show that the judge's basic considerations in both decisions include the elements of the indictment, the perpetrator's intentions, and the severity of the offense. However, there are differences in the context and motivation for the actions carried out by the defendant. In the first judgment, the act of double voting was situational and without clear malicious intent, while the second judgment involved collaboration that increased the seriousness of the offense. These differences have direct implications for election integrity. In rendering a verdict, it may be beneficial to continue to consider factors such as the elements of the charge, the intent of the perpetrator, and the background of the defendant. This approach can strengthen judges' judgment in assessing the severity of violations and their impact on election integrity. Given the substantial differences between the two cases, a contextual assessment of the defendant's actions can be important. Considering the context and motivation behind each action can help in producing decisions that are fairer and reflect the principles of justice Abstrak Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis perbandingan pemberian sanksi pidana dalam dua perkara yang berkaitan dengan pelanggaran Pemilu, yaitu Putusan Nomor 106/PID.SUS/2024/Pn Mbn dan Putusan Nomor 104/Pid.Sus/2024/PN Jap. Kedua perkara tersebut menguji pelanggaran yang sama, yaitu pemberian suara lebih dari satu kali pada satu atau lebih TPS, yang diatur dalam Pasal 516 Undang-Undang Nomor 7 Tahun 2017 tentang Pemilu. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode analisis normatif dengan pendekatan perbandingan, yang membandingkan pemberian sanksi pidana terhadap terdakwa dalam kedua putusan. Berdasarkan hasil analisis, penelitian ini menemukan ketidakseimbangan dalam pemberian sanksi, di mana terdakwa dalam Putusan Nomor 106/PID.SUS/2024/Pn Mbn dijatuhi hukuman yang lebih ringan (15 hari penjara), meskipun perbuatannya dilakukan dengan kesengajaan, sementara terdakwa dalam Putusan Nomor 104/Pid.Sus/2024/PN Jap menerima hukuman lebih berat (4 bulan penjara) yang tentunya sesuai karena terdakwa merupakan saksi partai politik yang menjadi alasan pemberat. Kesimpulannya, terdapat ketidakseimbangan dalam penerapan hukuman yang dapat merugikan prinsip keadilan dan konsistensi dalam sistem peradilan. Oleh karena itu, saran yang diberikan adalah agar sistem peradilan dapat memberikan hukuman yang lebih proporsional dan konsisten, dengan memperhatikan bobot pelanggaran dan faktor-faktor yang relevan, seperti kesengajaan dan dampak dari pelanggaran tersebut, guna tercapainya keadilan yang setara.

Abstract

This article analyses how Government Regulation Number 43/2017 shall be amended on international human rights law. It is needed since this regulation does not further regulate the offender's responsibility due to the offender's economic inability. The article implements normative research based on the UNCRC, the Chorzow Factory Case, jurisprudence from the ECHR Case Law, and the UNGA Resolution 40/34. This article consists of three discussions. The first discussion implements the provisions of the UNCRC in proposing how the government regulation shall be amended. Meanwhile, the second discussion suggests how the regulation shall be amended based on international case laws. Finally, the third discussion enhanced the previous two discussions by implementing the UNGA Resolution 40/34. Indonesia shall amend the provisions under Articles 19-22 of the regulation to ensure the full reparation of the victim and the perpetrator’s responsibility is fulfilled. This article also suggests that Indonesia shall consider the offender's and the victim’s conflicting interests. The third discussion suggested the LPSK to be the authorized organ to pay the restitution to the victim in the case where the offender or convicted is unable to fulfill the responsibility.

Abstract

ABSTRACT Purpose of the Study: This study aims to examine the construction of judicial reasoning across three levels of s, as well as identify the points which indicate disharmony between the principle of legality, the criminal justice regime, child protection norms, and state finance regulations that contribute to divergent legal reasoning among the District Court, High Court, and Supreme Court decisions. The paper aims to discover why the authority to grant restitution is not exercised in a uniform manner and the extent to which regulatory gaps affect the justice system’s ability to guarantee effective victim recovery. Methodology: This study employed a normative juridical research method . Primary legal materials included Government Regulation No. 43 of 2017, the Child Protection Law, the Law on the Witness and Victim Protection Agency, the State Financial Law, and international instruments on victims’ rights. The jurisprudential analysis focused on Supreme Court Decision No. 5642 K/Pid.Sus/2022 by examining the legal reasoning at each judicial level to map consistency, deviations, and normative conflicts. The conceptual approach was used to interpret the principle of legality, theories of authority, individual offender liability, and victim recovery principles. Results: The findings show that the District Court’s order requiring the Ministry of Women’s Empowerment and Child Protection to pay restitution was driven by a victim-oriented recovery approach but conflicted with the principle of legality and exceeded judicial authority. The High Court corrected this by returning the responsibility to the offender, and the Supreme Court reaffirmed this position based on personal liability and adherence to the state finance regime. The Supreme Court emphasized that judges cannot assign restitution obligations to the state without a clear legislative basis. The study further confirms a critical legal vacuum: no substitution mechanism exists when offenders are unable to pay, resulting in incomplete realization of victims’ rights despite a comprehensive assessment of losses. The lack of synchronization between child protection regulations, criminal law, and state finance governance constitutes a major barrier to effective restitution. Applications of this Study: This research’s findings can serve as a foundation for improving restitution regulations, particularly the need to establish a recovery scheme enabling the state to act lawfully when offenders are unable to pay. The analysis also provides guidance for judges and policymakers on the limits of judicial authority and the importance of harmonizing child protection, criminal law, and state financial regulations in shaping victim-recovery policies. Novelty/Originality of this study: The originality of this study lies in its critical mapping of the relationship between judicial reasoning, limits of authority, and normative conflicts in child-victim restitution cases, an area that is not yet fully elaborated in existing literature. This analysis explicitly reveals the regulatory vacuum that produces divergent reasoning among courts and underscores the need for normative reconstruction, so that restitution mechanisms can operate effectively without violating the legality principle. Keywords: Child; Judicial Considerations; Restitution.   ABSTRAK  Tujuan : Studi ini bertujuan untuk meneliti konstruksi penalaran yudisial di tiga tingkatan pengadilan dalam Kasus No. 5642 K/Pid.Sus/2022 mengenai penentuan restitusi bagi korban anak dalam tindak pidana, serta mengidentifikasi poin-poin yang menunjukkan ketidakselarasan antara prinsip legalitas, rezim peradilan pidana, norma perlindungan anak, dan peraturan keuangan negara yang berkontribusi pada perbedaan penalaran hukum di antara putusan Pengadilan Negeri, Pengadilan Tinggi, dan Mahkamah Agung. Makalah ini bertujuan untuk menemukan mengapa kewenangan untuk memberikan restitusi tidak dilaksanakan secara seragam dan sejauh mana kesenjangan regulasi memengaruhi kemampuan sistem peradilan untuk menjamin pemulihan korban yang efektif. Metodologi: Studi ini menggunakan metode penelitian yuridis normatif dengan menggunakan pendekatan yurisprudensi, pendekatan kasus, dan pendekatan konseptual. Materi hukum primer meliputi Peraturan Pemerintah No. 43 Tahun 2017, Undang-Undang Perlindungan Anak, Undang-Undang tentang Lembaga Perlindungan Saksi dan Korban, Undang-Undang Keuangan Negara, dan instrumen internasional tentang hak-hak korban. Analisis yurisprudensi difokuskan pada Putusan Mahkamah Agung No. 5642 K/Pid.Sus/2022 dengan memeriksa penalaran hukum di setiap tingkat peradilan untuk memetakan konsistensi, penyimpangan, dan konflik normatif. Pendekatan konseptual digunakan untuk menafsirkan prinsip legalitas, teori otoritas, tanggung jawab pelaku individu, dan prinsip pemulihan korban. Hasil: Temuan menunjukkan bahwa perintah Pengadilan Negeri yang mewajibkan Kementerian Pemberdayaan Perempuan dan Perlindungan Anak untuk membayar restitusi didorong oleh pendekatan pemulihan yang berorientasi pada korban tetapi bertentangan dengan prinsip legalitas dan melampaui wewenang peradilan. Pengadilan Tinggi mengoreksi hal ini dengan mengembalikan tanggung jawab kepada pelaku, dan Mahkamah Agung menegaskan kembali posisi ini berdasarkan tanggung jawab pribadi dan kepatuhan terhadap rezim keuangan negara. Mahkamah Agung menekankan bahwa hakim tidak dapat membebankan kewajiban restitusi kepada negara tanpa dasar legislatif yang jelas. Studi ini lebih lanjut menegaskan adanya kekosongan hukum yang kritis: tidak ada mekanisme substitusi ketika pelaku tidak mampu membayar, sehingga mengakibatkan realisasi hak-hak korban yang tidak lengkap meskipun telah dilakukan penilaian kerugian yang komprehensif. Kurangnya sinkronisasi antara peraturan perlindungan anak, hukum pidana, dan tata kelola keuangan negara merupakan hambatan utama bagi restitusi yang efektif. Aplikasi Studi Ini: Temuan penelitian ini dapat menjadi dasar untuk meningkatkan peraturan restitusi, khususnya kebutuhan untuk menetapkan skema pemulihan yang memungkinkan negara untuk bertindak secara sah ketika pelaku tidak mampu membayar. Analisis ini juga memberikan panduan bagi hakim dan pembuat kebijakan tentang batasan kewenangan yudisial dan pentingnya harmonisasi perlindungan anak, hukum pidana, dan peraturan keuangan negara dalam membentuk kebijakan pemulihan korban. Kebaruan/Orisinalitas Studi: Orisinalitas studi ini terletak pada pemetaan kritisnya terhadap hubungan antara penalaran yudisial, batasan kewenangan, dan konflik normatif dalam kasus restitusi anak korban, suatu bidang yang belum sepenuhnya diuraikan dalam literatur yang ada. Analisis ini secara eksplisit mengungkapkan kekosongan regulasi yang menghasilkan penalaran yang berbeda di antara pengadilan dan menggarisbawahi perlunya rekonstruksi normatif, sehingga mekanisme restitusi dapat beroperasi secara efektif tanpa melanggar prinsip legalitas.  Kata Kunci: Anak; Pertimbangan Yudisial; Restitusi

Abstract

This article examines the role of legal education in strengthening sustainable environmental legal awareness amid the increasing complexity of ecological problems and the low level of compliance with environmental protection principles. This study employs a normative juridical approach by analyzing concepts, doctrines, and contemporary paradigms of environmental law in relation to the formation of legal awareness. The findings indicate that the limited effectiveness of environmental protection is not merely caused by weaknesses in legal norms, but is largely influenced by the insufficient internalization of environmental legal values within social consciousness. Legal education holds a strategic position as an instrument for fostering ecological awareness through the understanding of the precautionary principle, social responsibility, intergenerational justice, and sustainability. Through value-oriented and critical legal education, environmental law is not only understood as a set of normative rules, but also as a value system that shapes human behavior and mindset in relation to nature. Therefore, legal education functions as a means of social transformation that promotes behavioral change, strengthens legal compliance, and contributes to the prevention of environmental degradation in a sustainable manner

Abstract

The regulation of accountability and sanctions for children aged 12–14 years in the juvenile criminal justice system in Indonesia raises normative issues, particularly regarding the unclear position of children as subjects of legal accountability who cannot be punished as stipulated in Law Number 11 of 2012 concerning the Juvenile Criminal Justice System. This study aims to analyze the regulation of sanctions against children aged 12–14 years and formulate a direction for fair child accountability regulations. The research method used is normative juridical with a legislative, conceptual, and case approach. The results of the study indicate that there is ambiguity in the norms of the SPPA Law, which requires reformulation through a tiered accountability model and harmonization with the National Criminal Code to ensure child protection, legal certainty, and proportional justice.

Abstract

Corruption in Indonesia has transformed into an extraordinary crime that systemically destroys the state's economic structure. Despite a high rate of law enforcement actions, the level of asset recovery remains very low compared to the total state financial losses incurred. This research aims to analyze the urgency of updating the legal framework regarding asset confiscation in corruption cases in Indonesia. The method used is normative juridical research with statutory and conceptual approaches. The findings indicate that the current asset confiscation regulation, which relies on the Criminal Procedure Code (KUHAP), focuses solely on evidentiary purposes (corpus delicti) and requires an in personam claim, making it inadequate for the optimal recovery of state losses. Furthermore, there is a disharmony of norms between the KUHAP, the Anti-Corruption Law, and bankruptcy law, which frequently hinders the asset execution process. Therefore, legal reformulation through the adoption of the Non-Conviction Based (NCB) Asset Forfeiture principle is an absolute necessity. This concept allows for asset confiscation without waiting for a criminal conviction against the perpetrator and is proven to be in line with international standards such as UNCAC and FATF. This research concludes that the enactment of the Asset Confiscation Bill is highly urgent and must be accompanied by institutional legal harmonization and mechanisms to protect the civil rights of good-faith third parties.
