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

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.

Abstract

This study investigates a corruption prevention paradox in Jepara Regency, Indonesia, where massive financial crimes persist despite high Monitoring Center for Prevention (MCP) scores and robust Electronic-Government (E-Government) adoption. The research aims to deconstruct the failure of purely technocratic anti-corruption approaches by emphasizing the sociological context of human operators. Utilizing quantitative Path Analysis, this study examines the influence of Legislative Function, Legal Integrity, Local Wisdom, and E-Government Integration on Corruption Prevention. Data was acquired through structured Likert-scale questionnaires distributed to 226 respondents, comprising local government officials, legislative representatives (DPRD), governance experts, and cultural preservation figures. Findings reveal that while E-Government and legislation provide essential regulatory frameworks, Legal Integrity acts as a critical mediator. Furthermore, Local Wisdom, as measured through indicators of Ratu Kalinyamat's meritocratic leadership philosophy and the socio-cultural ethos of Jepara woodcarving, functions as a significant socio-cultural moderator that bridges the gap between theoretical regulation and actual bureaucratic behavior. The novelty of this research lies in its mathematical demonstration that integrating traditional cultural ethics fundamentally enhances the efficacy of modern anti-corruption systems. Ultimately, sustainable local corruption eradication requires a holistic synthesis of digital transparency, legislative accountability, and deep-rooted cultural ethics. These findings urge Indonesian regional governance policymakers to incorporate localized moral frameworks alongside technocratic oversight to achieve genuine bureaucratic reform.

Abstract

Sexual violence against children constitutes a grave violation of human dignity and causes long-term psychological and developmental harm. Although Indonesia’s Law No. 12 of 2022 on Sexual Violence Crimes (UU TPKS) reflects a victim-oriented substantive framework, criminal procedure law remains largely offender-centered. Neither the current nor the newly enacted Criminal Procedure Code recognizes the Victim Impact Statement (VIS) as a formal mechanism for conveying victims’ experiences during criminal proceedings. This study examines the urgency of VIS in realizing victim-centered justice and formulates a regulatory model for its integration into UU TPKS. Using normative juridical research with statutory, conceptual, and comparative approaches, the study analyzes relevant legislation, judicial regulations, and scholarly literature. The findings reveal a regulatory gap between substantive victim protection and procedural mechanisms. This article proposes standardized VIS provisions to strengthen restorative justice and ensure judicial decisions reflect the recovery and dignity of child victims.

Abstract

The public continuously demands high-quality public services from the government. However, these expectations are often unmet because public service delivery remains characterized by bureaucratic complexity, inefficiency, legal uncertainty, and procedures that are perceived as burdensome. To ensure that public services are delivered effectively and in accordance with the principles of good governance, robust external oversight is essential. In this regard, the Indonesian Ombudsman plays a central role as an independent supervisory institution responsible for preventing maladministration and safeguarding citizens’ rights in public service delivery. This community service initiative, implemented in collaboration with the Representative Office of the Indonesian Ombudsman for Central Java Province, employed several approaches, including audiovisual public education through an interactive dialogue program on RRI Pro 1 Semarang, the establishment of community networks concerned with maladministration, the Ombudsman on The Spot outreach program, and quantitative evaluation using the Public Service Delivery Compliance Survey, which has been transformed into the Ombudsman Opinion starting in 2025. These initiatives contribute to strengthening public awareness, increasing community participation, and improving institutional accountability in public services. The Representative Office of the Indonesian Ombudsman for Central Java Province has successfully resolved hundreds of public complaints with a resolution rate of approximately 90 percent through participatory approaches, mediation, conciliation, and formal recommendations. Furthermore, the expansion of service accessibility through Ombudsman on The Spot and digital reporting applications has enabled residents, particularly those in rural areas of Central Java, to report maladministration more quickly and effectively. These initiatives contribute to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 16 (Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions), by promoting transparent, accountable, inclusive, and citizen-centered public institutions while strengthening public participation in governance and enhancing access to justice through effective oversight mechanisms.

Abstract

Artikel ini mengkaji tentang isu penting terkait kebebasan pers dan perlindungan identitas anak korban asusila. Dalam konteks hukum pidana, pertanyaan mengenai tanggung jawab pidana bagi jurnalis atas pelanggaran privasi identitas anak korban asusila menjadi sangat relevan dalam era media modern. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melakukan perbandingan regulasi hukum di Indonesia dan Malaysia terkait pertanggungjawaban pidana jurnalis dalam kasus pemberitaan identitas anak korban asusila. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa meskipun Indonesia dan Malaysia memiliki peraturan hukum yang berbeda terkait pertanggungjawaban pidana bagi jurnalis, keduanya memiliki prinsip-prinsip yang serupa dalam perlindungan identitas anak korban asusila. Evaluasi mendalam terhadap kasus-kasus yang telah terjadi menunjukkan bahwa implementasi hukum terkait pelanggaran tersebut masih memiliki celah yang perlu diperbaiki. Diperlukan pendekatan yang lebih holistik dan komprehensif dalam menangani kasus-kasus sensasionalisme media yang merugikan anak korban asusila. Berdasarkan analisis ini, implementasi regulasi yang lebih ketat dan sanksi yang tegas terhadap pelanggaran hukum terkait pemberitaan identitas anak korban asusila akan menjadi langkah efektif dalam mencegah penyalahgunaan kebebasan pers demi kepentingan publik. Melalui pemahaman mendalam terkait perbandingan hukum antara Indonesia dan Malaysia dalam kasus pertanggungjawaban pidana bagi jurnalis atas pemberitaan identitas anak korban asusila, diharapkan dapat lebih meningkatkan kesadaran akan pentingnya perlindungan anak korban asusila dan mendorong perbaikan perundang-undangan guna mencapai keadilan yang lebih baik dalam konteks ini.
