Abstract

This study aims to analyse the forms of legal liability applicable to minors who operate motorcycles and cause fatalities in traffic accidents, as well as to examine the possibility of legal action against their parents. The phenomenon of underage individuals driving on public roads raises serious legal and social concerns, as it not only endangers traffic safety but also generates questions regarding the appropriate legal subject to be held responsible when accidents occur. This research employs an empirical legal research method, which relies on real-world data obtained through interviews, observations, and document analysis to examine how the law is applied in practice. The findings indicate that within the juvenile criminal justice system, legal accountability must prioritise the best interests of the child, respect for the child’s views, and the application of restorative justice through diversion mechanisms. Case resolution is directed toward reconciliation between the victim and the child offender, avoiding deprivation of liberty, and fostering a sense of responsibility in the child. Furthermore, the study identifies the potential for parental liability where parents are proven to have provided opportunities, means, or assistance that facilitated the commission of the criminal act, as stipulated in Articles 56 and 57 of the Indonesian Criminal Code. Accordingly, this study underscores the importance of fair law enforcement that remains oriented toward child protection, while also recognising parents as parties who may bear legal responsibility under certain conditions.

Abstract

The concept of a Justice Collaborator (JC) has become an important instrument in criminal law enforcement, particularly in uncovering complex crimes. A justice collaborator refers to a perpetrator who cooperates with law enforcement authorities by providing significant information to reveal a criminal act and identify other perpetrators. In Indonesia, the recognition of justice collaborators is regulated in Law Number 13 of 2006 as amended by Law Number 31 of 2014 concerning the Protection of Witnesses and Victims, as well as Supreme Court Circular Letter Number 4 of 2011. This study examines the implementation of the rights of justice collaborators to obtain sentence reduction in cases of murder and analyzes the legal considerations applied by judges in granting such leniency. This research employs a normative legal method using statutory and conceptual approaches. Primary legal materials consist of relevant laws and regulations, while secondary materials include legal doctrines and scholarly articles. The data are analyzed qualitatively through descriptive analysis. The results indicate that although justice collaborators are legally entitled to special protection and the possibility of sentence reduction, their implementation in murder cases is not automatic and depends heavily on judicial discretion. Judges consider several factors, including the significance of the information provided, the role of the offender in the crime, and the consistency of cooperation during the investigation and trial process. The study concludes that clearer legal standards and consistent judicial application are necessary to ensure legal certainty and fairness in granting sentence reductions to justice collaborators in murder cases.

Abstract

The recognition of children born out of wedlock remains a significant legal issue within the framework of Indonesian positive law. Children, as subjects of law, are entitled to protection and equal treatment regardless of the circumstances of their birth. However, prior to the Constitutional Court Decision Number 46/PUU-VIII/2010, children born outside lawful marriage were legally recognized as having civil relations only with their mother and her family, resulting in limited access to paternal rights. This normative juridical research employs a statute and conceptual approach to examine the legal regulation and protection of children born out of wedlock under Indonesian law. The study analyzes the Civil Code, the Marriage Law, the Population Administration Law, and relevant Constitutional Court rulings. The findings indicate that, following the Constitutional Court’s decision, children born out of wedlock may establish civil legal relations with their biological father, provided that biological paternity is proven through lawful evidence, including scientific methods such as DNA testing. Nevertheless, practical challenges remain, particularly concerning procedural requirements and judicial discretion, which may hinder full legal protection. Therefore, stronger regulatory harmonization and legal certainty are necessary to ensure comprehensive protection of children’s civil rights.
