Abstract

This study analyzes the legal problems of determining state losses in corruption cases in Indonesia, especially regarding the unclear institution that is legally authorized to determine it. This study was conducted using normative research with a statute approach. The results of the study indicate that there is no explicit norm that establishes the Audit Board of Indonesia (BPK) as the sole institution authorized to determine state losses in criminal cases. This opens up space for investigators and prosecutors to use internal estimates or audits from non-constitutional institutions, which raises the potential for excessive criminalization, inter-institutional conflict, and legal uncertainty. This study recommends harmonization of legislation that integrates BPK investigative audits as the main evidence in corruption criminal proceedings and encourages the reconstruction of inter-institutional procedures to ensure the principle of due process and legal justice.

Abstract

Honor killing within the Bugis-Makassar community cannot be fully understood through the lens of positive criminal law, as it is grounded in the normative system of siri’, which holds strong social legitimacy. This study addresses a gap in existing literature that overlooks local value systems as a source of normative justification for violence. It employs a qualitative method with a conceptual approach, using library research to explore siri’ as a regulatory structure. The findings reveal that siri’ positions collective honor above individual life, institutionalizing violence as a corrective obligation. The key contribution of this study is the introduction of cultural criminology as an alternative analytical framework to interpret violence legitimized by customary norms. These findings underscore the urgency of reforming criminal law to account for value pluralism within a legally plural society.

Abstract

In its ideal form, punishment is conceived as a rational and proportionate response to moral wrongdoing, grounded in demonstrable harm and clear culpability. Classical penological theories emphasize the principles of retribution, deterrence, rehabilitation, and incapacitation, all of which presume the presence of intent and injury. However, in the case of Tom Lembong, punishment was imposed absent any proven crime, malicious intent, or measurable harm. Instead, it became a symbolic act, reconfigured as a performance of political theater to assert and preserve a sovereign narrative. This article advances two interrelated aims. First, it analyzes how the penalization of Tom Lembong reflects a wider pattern wherein legal institutions are repurposed to perform sovereignty and construct legitimacy through public spectacle. Second, it critiques the inadequacy of classical penological frameworks when punishment operates without moral fault or corrective intent. Using a qualitative research method and conceptual approach, this study draws upon library-based data sources, critically engaging with theoretical literature on penology, sovereignty, and post-truth politics. Data analysis was conducted descriptively, allowing conceptual mapping between legal practices and political narratives. The findings indicate that the punishment in this case functioned less as an instrument of legal redress than as political choreography. It transformed into symbolic currency designed to enforce narrative conformity and signal power consolidation. In such contexts, punishment serves not as a corrective measure but as a performative mechanism, signaling the dominance of a political order over competing interpretations of truth. This rupture in classical penological logic calls for a post-penological framework—one that accounts for punishment as a tool of narrative enforcement and symbolic governance within post-truth legal orders. Such a framework recognizes the transformation of legal acts into staged political performances, where the appearance of justice supersedes substantive fairness.

Abstract

This article examines how Indonesia’s criminal law system and judicial practice allow narratives of honour (siri’) to enter the adjudication of homicide cases involving women, and assesses the consequences for the protection of the right to life and the position of victims within criminal proceedings. The study employs a normative legal method with doctrinal and jurisprudential approaches. Primary legal materials consist of Law No. 1 of 2023 on the Criminal Code, particularly Article 458(1) and (2) on homicide and Articles 31–44 on justifying and excusing grounds, analysed alongside a corpus of court decisions from South Sulawesi. The analysis shows that siri’ operates as a causal premise in the construction of facts, primarily through the language of shame and commands to restore family honour, allowing judicial reasoning to shift from the victim’s rights to the reputational interests of the perpetrator’s family. Although the new Criminal Code establishes homicide as an unlawful deprivation of life and provides for aggravated punishment when the victim is a close family member, the discretionary space within sentencing guidelines enables honour-based motives to function as mitigating considerations, despite siri’ falling outside the closed categories of justifications and excuses. At the same time, evidentiary practices centred on chronology, perpetrator communication, and socially legitimised forgiveness narrow the space for victims as rights-bearing subjects, increasing the risk of silencing at the stages of reporting, examination, and sentencing.

Abstract

ABSTRAK Struktur hukum pidana modern dibangun atas asumsi kehendak bebas, rasionalitas individu, dan mens rea sebagai dasar pertanggungjawaban. Namun, perkembangan neurosains menunjukkan bahwa perilaku kriminal dalam banyak kasus tidak lahir dari deliberasi sadar, melainkan dari konfigurasi neurobiologis yang memengaruhi kontrol diri dan regulasi moral. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis ketegangan antara konstruksi normatif hukum pidana dan determinasi perilaku manusia menurut neurosains, serta mengidentifikasi tiga bentuk transformasi doktrinal yang ditimbulkan oleh pendekatan neurokriminologi. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode hukum normatif dengan pendekatan konseptual. Data dikumpulkan melalui studi kepustakaan dan dianalisis secara kualitatif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sistem hukum pidana belum memiliki instrumen normatif yang mampu mengakomodasi kompleksitas biologis manusia. Model tanggung jawab berbasis kehendak bebas universal tidak selaras dengan bukti mengenai variabilitas kontrol perilaku. Konsep kesengajaan gagal membedakan antara deliberasi dan reaktivitas neurologis, sedangkan pendekatan retributif dalam pemidanaan tidak kompatibel dengan model intervensi preventif. Dalam kondisi ini, atribusi kesalahan menjadi berisiko secara etik. Reformulasi doktrin menjadi keharusan untuk membangun sistem hukum yang akurat dan sahih secara normatif.Kata Kunci: Determinisme Biologis, Mens rea, Neurokriminologi, Pertanggungjawaban Pidana
