Abstract

Economic exploitation of children is a form of human rights violation that is still rampant, especially in areas with high poverty rates and limited access to education and legal protection. In Central Java, this phenomenon often affects children from marginalized families who are forced to work to help support their families' economy. This study aims to analyze how empowering marginalized communities can be an effective strategy in supporting the implementation of legal protection for children who are victims of economic exploitation. Using a qualitative approach and case study methods in several areas in Central Java, this study explores the role of local communities, civil society organizations, and government institutions in building legal awareness and social capacity of marginalized communities. The results of the study show that community empowerment not only increases understanding of children's rights but also strengthens the community's bargaining position in rejecting exploitative practices. Programs such as skills training, legal counseling, and the formation of local advocacy groups have been shown to create a more protective environment for children. In addition, collaboration between the community, local government, and child protection institutions is key to building a sustainable protection system that is responsive to local needs. This study confirms that a community-based approach is an important element in child protection strategies, especially in areas with limited resources. Therefore, policies are needed that support the active participation of marginalized communities in the process of formulating and implementing child legal protection. Thus, child protection efforts are not only the responsibility of the state, but also become a collective movement from the grassroots that starts from shared awareness and concern.

Abstract

Economic exploitation of children in urban environments is a complex form of social crime that is often hidden behind the dynamics of city life. Children are not only victims of family economic pressures, but also become objects of crime by parties who take advantage of their vulnerability. This article aims to analyze the phenomenon of child exploitation from a criminological perspective, highlighting how social structures, economic inequality, and weak legal protection systems contribute to the rampant practice of exploitation in urban areas. Using a qualitative approach and critical criminology theory, this study examines the patterns of exploitation that occur, including the involvement of children in informal work, forced labor, and other forms of hidden exploitation. The results of the analysis show that child exploitation is not only triggered by economic factors, but also by the cultural normalization of child labor, lack of legal awareness at the community level, and minimal community-based state intervention. This article emphasizes that child exploitation must be understood as a structural crime that requires an interdisciplinary and collaborative approach. Prevention and handling efforts are not enough only through law enforcement, but also through community empowerment, social policy reform, and strengthening child protection systems that are responsive to the urban context. Thus, protecting children from economic exploitation must be a priority agenda in criminal and social policies in urban areas.

Abstract

This article comprehensively analyzes the Indonesian Constitution as a crucial foundation and solid bulwark for strengthening Environmental Criminal Law. Given the alarming global ecological crisis, characterized by massive deforestation, uncontrolled pollution, biodiversity loss, and excessive resource exploitation, reforming the criminal law framework to be adaptive, responsive, and progressive is urgent. This research firmly argues that the Constitution isn't just a general, declarative legal umbrella; it intrinsically embodies fundamental constitutional values and principles. These include every citizen's right to a good and healthy environment and the state's obligation to protect it, which must be actively interpreted, internalized, and expanded into all norms and practices of Environmental Criminal Law enforcement. Using a normative-juridical approach focused on analyzing legal texts, doctrines, and court decisions, this article systematically examines how in-depth constitutional interpretation and creative elaboration of principles can catalyze stronger, more comprehensive, and ecologically just environmental criminal regulations. The discussion identifies and critically analyzes structural and substantive weaknesses in current environmental criminal law enforcement, such as evidentiary challenges, weak sanctions, and limited scope of legal subjects. Furthermore, this article explores the Constitution's potential to legitimize overcoming these obstacles. This includes strengthening criminal sanctions for proportional deterrence, expanding the definition of environmental crimes to encompass new and complex ecological offenses, and enhancing more effective corporate accountability mechanisms. Ultimately, this article affirms that reforming and developing Environmental Criminal Law, firmly rooted in constitutional values and principles, is an absolute prerequisite for building a holistic and sustainable environmental protection system. This step is essential in preventing further ecological degradation, restoring the balance of nature, and effectively guaranteeing environmental rights for current and future generations.

Abstract

Sexual violence against children frequently occurs in Semarang, affecting not only the physical but also the psychological well-being of children. In response to the high number of cases of sexual violence against children in Semarang, Polrestabes Semarang as a law enforcement agency, is obligated to provide legal protection to victims. This article aims to analyze the implementation of legal protection for child victims of sexual violence at Polrestabes Semarang and the factors that lead to secondary victimization during the legal process at Polrestabes Semarang. This study uses victimology with a qualitative approach. Data collection techniques in this study were interviews, observation, and document study. Based on the research results, Polrestabes Semarang has implemented legal protection in a preventive and repressive manner. However, several obstacles are still found in its implementation, such as a lack of female investigators, limited psychologists, and cases that suddenly stop (stalled). In addition, child victims of sexual violence still experience secondary victimization during the investigation stage at Polrestabes Semarang, including repeated investigations, victim blaming by investigators, a lengthy legal process, and community stigma. Therefore, it can be concluded that Polrestabes Semarang has sought protection law for child victims of sexual violence, but in its implementation there are still obstacles found until secondary victimization practices towards the victim.

Abstract

This study examines children's involvement in collective violence resulting in death in Karawang Regency, focusing on criminogenic factors and the patterns and characteristics of group violence. The main issues discussed are how social, environmental, and individual factors influence children's involvement in fatal gang violence, and how patterns of collective violence among children are formed. This study aims to analyze the causes of children's involvement in collective violence, identify the patterns and characteristics of these collective actions, and assess the criminogenic factors that influence children's behavior. The method used is normative juridical legal research supported by an empirical approach and a criminological perspective. Data were obtained through a literature review of laws and regulations, court decisions, and scientific literature, as well as field studies in the form of interviews with public prosecutors handling related cases. All data were analyzed qualitatively using a descriptive approach. The results indicate that children's involvement in collective violence is influenced by weak parental supervision, negative peer influence, and the psychological conditions of adolescents who tend to be impulsive and emotionally dominated. Group dynamics reinforce aggressive behavior and reduce individual responsibility. This study concludes that preventing collective violence by children requires integrated efforts through law enforcement, strengthening the role of the family, fostering a positive social environment, and early intervention against criminogenic risk factors.

Abstract

Children as perpetrators of criminal offenses have become a phenomenon that has increasingly attracted attention in legal and criminological studies. Child development, which is strongly influenced by the social environment, family conditions, and psychological factors, makes children vulnerable to engaging in deviant behavior and coming into conflict with the law. This study aims to analyze the criminological factors underlying children as perpetrators of crime through a case study of Decision Number 6/Pid.Sus-Anak/2025/PN Kbm. The research method employed is normative legal research combined with an empirical approach, utilizing a statutory approach and a case approach. The data were obtained from primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials and analyzed qualitatively. The findings indicate that social and family environmental factors, as well as the psychological condition and age of the child, are dominant factors influencing the occurrence of criminal acts. The lack of supervision, attention, and social control from the surrounding environment, combined with the child's psychological immaturity, encourages children to engage in unlawful conduct. Therefore, a criminological approach emphasizes that the handling of children as perpetrators of criminal offenses should prioritize the principles of child protection, guidance, and preventive efforts to prevent the recurrence of criminal acts in the future.

Abstract

Corruption as an extraordinary crime requires special legal measures and law enforcement institutions with strong authority to ensure that the country's criminal policies are implemented in an integrated manner. This study aims to examine the urgency of strengthening the role of the Attorney General's Office as the sole coordinating body in the criminal justice system in order to reduce the challenges of dualism in prosecution between the Attorney General's Office and the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK), which often leads to procedural inefficiencies and the phenomenon of back-and-forth file transfers. The research method used is normative juridical with a legislative and conceptual approach, using the Theory of Legal Effectiveness and Legal Certainty as the main analytical tools.

Abstract

Unregistered marriages are still a common phenomenon in Indonesia, even though marriage registration plays an important role in providing legal certainty and protection, especially in cases of domestic violence (KDRT). Law Number 23 of 2004 concerning the Elimination of Domestic Violence stipulates that the scope of legal protection is only for husband and wife relationships that are legal according to state law. This raises legal problems if violence occurs in unregistered marriages, because victims, especially women, cannot obtain maximum protection. This study aims to examine the construction of the application of law to the crime of domestic violence in unregistered marriages and its urgency in the Indonesian legal system. The research method used is a normative legal approach with a qualitative analysis of relevant laws and case studies. The results of the study indicate the existence of dualism in law enforcement that creates uncertainty and injustice for victims. Therefore, a comprehensive legal construction is needed so that the Law on the Elimination of Domestic Violence can also be applied to cases of violence in marriages that have not been administratively registered but are religiously legal.
