Abstract

The integrity of law enforcement officials is fundamental to the effectiveness, fairness, and legitimacy of law enforcement. However, existing legal theories have not adequately conceptualized how integrity violations may contaminate legal procedures and undermine the legitimacy of judicial outcomes. This study aims to examine the normative relationship between official integrity and the legitimacy of law enforcement outcomes, formulate the Dirty Broom Theory as a conceptual framework, and assess its implications for law enforcement reform in Indonesia. This study employs normative legal research using statutory, conceptual, doctrinal, and comparative approaches. Primary and secondary legal materials, including legislation, jurisprudence, legal doctrines, and scholarly literature, are analyzed through systematic legal interpretation. The findings demonstrate that official integrity constitutes an essential condition for maintaining procedural fairness and substantive legitimacy in legal decision-making. The study formulates the Dirty Broom Theory, premised on the proposition that “a dirty broom cannot produce clean justice.” The theory explains that corruption, bribery, evidence manipulation, case fabrication, abuse of authority, conflicts of interest, and other integrity violations can contaminate the law enforcement process and compromise the legitimacy of its outcomes. Furthermore, the Chain of Integrity Principle conceptualizes criminal justice as an interconnected process in which integrity at each stage contributes to the legitimacy of the final decision. The theory provides a conceptual foundation for integrity-based law enforcement reform in Indonesia.

Abstract

Supreme Court Regulation (PERMA) No. 3 of 2026 operationalizes judicial pardon under Indonesia’s new criminal procedure framework by allowing a court to declare guilt while withholding punishment on grounds of justice and humanity. The regulation is an important humanizing instrument, yet its open-ended criteria, its relationship with restorative justice, and the status of victim-related factors create risks of inconsistent and socioeconomically unequal application. This article reconstructs the model through Indonesian positive law, comparative criminal procedure, and Islamic legal reasoning. It employs normative-doctrinal research using statutory, conceptual, comparative, and Islamic legal-hermeneutic approaches. Primary materials include the new Criminal Code, the 2025 Criminal Procedure Code, PERMA No. 3 of 2026, Malaysian and Bruneian legislation, Aceh jināyah regulations, Qur’anic norms, and classical and contemporary works on Islamic criminal law. The article finds three principal tensions rather than literal contradictions: insufficient weighting among pardon factors; possible conflation of judicial pardon with restorative settlement; and inadequate safeguards against unequal, victim-insensitive, or weakly reasoned decisions. Taʿzīr supplies the closest functional analogy because it permits bounded sentencing discretion, but it cannot be generalized to ḥudūd or qiṣāṣ–diyah, where proof rules and victims’ rights differ. A reconstructed model therefore requires a seriousness threshold, structured culpability and proportionality review, non-dispositive treatment of apology and forgiveness, an explicit maqāṣid/maṣlaḥah harm–benefit assessment, reason-giving, appellate control, equality safeguards, and a legally grounded victim-reparation route. This model connects judicial mercy with the values of ʿadl and raḥmah while preserving legality, public protection, and trust within Indonesia’s plural Muslim society.

Abstract

The development of artificial intelligence (AI) increases the risk of manipulating electronic evidence, while Article 235 of Law Number 20 of 2025 concerning the Criminal Procedure Code has not regulated in detail the technical mechanism for authentication. This research aims to analyze the adequacy of the authentication arrangement of electronic evidence and reconstruct the mechanism that ensures the reliability of criminal evidence in the AI era. The research uses normative legal methods with legislative, conceptual, and comparative approaches. Legal materials are collected through literature studies and analyzed qualitatively-prescriptively. Authentication arrangements are inadequate because the judge's authority is not balanced by technical examination standards, the support of digital forensic experts, and an integrated verification infrastructure. The research offers a forensically supported judicial authentication model through the Supreme Court Regulation (PERMA) and the Electronic Evidence Authentication System (EEAS). This model integrates evidence preservation, hash verification, metadata and provenance checks, AI manipulation detection, expert verification, and judicial assessment. The reliability of proof requires the integration of legal norms, technical competence, and institutional support. The novelty of the research lies in the reconstruction of layered authentication that connects the authority of judges with standardized forensic digital verification without shifting decision-making authority from judges.

Abstract

Penelitian ini menelaah Pasal 244 ayat (5) Undang-Undang Nomor 20 Tahun 2025 tentang Kitab Undang-Undang Hukum Acara Pidana (KUHAP) dalam hubungannya dengan hak atas kemerdekaan pribadi terdakwa yang diputus lepas dari segala tuntutan hukum. Dengan metode normatif yang didukung survei persepsi terbatas terhadap 26 responden, artikel ini membedakan putusan bebas dari putusan lepas, pengajuan banding penuntut umum dari dasar penahanan yang berdiri sendiri, serta alasan pembenar dari alasan pemaaf. Hasilnya menunjukkan perlunya menilai legalitas, kebutuhan, proporsionalitas, dan pengawasan hakim atas penahanan pascaputusan. Proporsi 76,9 persen dalam survei hanya menggambarkan pendapat responden, bukan tingkat penerapan nasional atau bukti inkonstitusionalitas. Penulis mengusulkan perubahan hukum agar banding tidak secara otomatis memperpanjang penahanan, tanpa meniadakan kewenangan hakim atas perintah penahanan baru yang memenuhi syarat hukum.

Abstract

This article reconstructs Dirty Broom Theory through Islamic jurisprudence by examining integrity as a condition of legitimate enforcement. Using normative legal research with conceptual, philosophical, and doctrinal approaches, the study analyzes the Qur’an, hadith, and scholarship. The study proposes a new formulation, Islamic Dirty Broom Theory, which reconstructs the theory’s integrity mechanism by positioning amanah as the source of integrity obligations, ‘Adl as the evaluative goal, and material integrity violations with a causal connection to procedural contamination as the threshold for delegitimization, rather than treating integrity as professional ethics alone or treating every procedural error as legitimacy-destroying. The analysis yields this proposition: where authority is exercised as amanah, integrity must govern every stage of the criminal justice chain, while ‘Adl provides the standard for evaluating process and outcome. This proposition is grounded in commands concerning trust and justice, prohibitions of zulm, treason, and bribery, and the Chain of Integrity Principle.
