Abstract

The principle of ultimum remedium in environmental criminal law is a principle that places criminal sanctions as the last resort after administrative and civil sanctions are no longer effective. This principle aims to ensure that environmental law enforcement proceeds proportionally and not repressively. However, in practice in Indonesia, the application of the ultimum remedium principle often creates a dilemma between environmental protection and economic development interests. Many environmental violations such as forest fires, river pollution, and illegal mining activities are resolved only through administrative measures without criminal sanctions, even though the resulting damage is highly significant. This study employs a normative juridical method with statutory, conceptual, and case approaches to analyze the extent to which the implementation of the ultimum remedium principle can uphold ecological justice. The research findings show that the application of this principle in Indonesia tends to be weak, as many environmental violations are not prosecuted criminally under the pretext of efficiency and economic stability. In fact, environmental criminal law plays a crucial role as a deterrent instrument against environmental crimes. Therefore, environmental law reform in Indonesia needs to be directed toward strengthening criminal law enforcement against offenders—especially corporations responsible for large-scale environmental damage.

Abstract

This research, entitled “A Juridical Analysis of Village Fund Corruption Crimes (A Case Study at the Simalungun District Prosecutor’s Office),” is motivated by the increasing number of cases involving the misuse of village funds that have caused state financial losses and eroded public trust in village governments. The study aims to analyze how the law is applied in cases of village fund corruption handled by the Simalungun District Prosecutor’s Office, to identify the obstacles encountered by prosecutors in handling such cases, and to evaluate the effectiveness of law enforcement in eradicating corruption involving village funds. The research adopts a normative juridical method using statutory, conceptual, and case approaches, focusing on the Kardianto case handled by the Simalungun District Prosecutor’s Office. The data sources consist of primary legal materials, such as legislation and indictment documents; secondary legal materials, including books, journals, and previous research; and tertiary legal materials, such as legal dictionaries and encyclopedias. The findings reveal that the application of law in cases of village fund corruption has been carried out in accordance with Law No. 31 of 1999 in conjunction with Law No. 20 of 2001 on the Eradication of Corruption Crimes and Law No. 6 of 2014 on Villages. However, the effectiveness of law enforcement remains hindered by overlapping regulations, limited human resources, weak inter-agency coordination, and low levels of legal awareness among the community. Nevertheless, the Simalungun District Prosecutor’s Office has demonstrated progressive measures through the implementation of the Jaksa Garda Desa (Village Guardian Prosecutor) program and the digitalization of public-fund monitoring. The study concludes that law enforcement against village fund corruption in the jurisdiction of the Simalungun District Prosecutor’s Office has been relatively effective in its repressive aspects but needs strengthening in preventive and participatory dimensions. Institutional reform, capacity building for law enforcement officers, and active community participation are essential to establishing transparent, accountable, and corruption-free village governance.

Abstract

Domestic Violence (DV) is a crime that has serious impacts on victims, both physically, psychologically, and socially. Case data in the jurisdiction of the Southeast Aceh Police shows an increase in the number of domestic violence cases from 2020 to 2024. This increase indicates low public legal awareness, strong patriarchal cultural factors, and a suboptimal victim protection system. This study formulates the problem regarding the obstacles faced by law enforcement officers, the legal efforts undertaken, and the role of law enforcement officers in handling domestic violence cases in the Criminal Investigation Unit of the Southeast Aceh Police. The purpose of this study is to analyze obstacles, examine the forms of legal efforts, and assess the effectiveness of the role of law enforcement officers based on the provisions of applicable laws and regulations. The research method used is empirical normative legal research with a statutory approach and a case approach, supported by domestic violence case data over the past five years. The results of the study indicate that obstacles to handling domestic violence include limited facilities and infrastructure, limited human resources, low victim participation in the legal process, and socio-cultural factors in the community. Legal efforts undertaken by law enforcement officers include preventive, repressive, and combined measures in accordance with the provisions of Law Number 23 of 2004 and criminal procedural law. The role of law enforcement officers is a determining factor in ensuring victim protection and the effectiveness of law enforcement. Therefore, strengthening institutional capacity, increasing the professionalism of officers, and increasing public legal awareness are necessary to ensure just and victim-oriented domestic violence law enforcement.

Abstract

This study discusses the role of the Asahan Resort Police Samapta Unit in handling minor crimes through the application of a restorative justice approach. As one of the operational functions of the police, the Samapta Unit has the main task of maintaining public security and order, including rapid response to violations and misdemeanors. Through the restorative justice approach, Samapta seeks to resolve cases by prioritizing the restoration of relationships between perpetrators, victims, and the community, as well as minimizing lengthy judicial processes. The results of the discussion show that the role of Samapta includes preventive, responsive, and solutive actions through mediation, peace facilitation, and assistance in the peaceful case settlement process. The application of this approach is considered to be able to increase the effectiveness of case handling, reduce the burden of formal law enforcement, and strengthen public trust in the National Police. However, its success is still influenced by personnel commitment, supporting regulations, and active participation from related parties. This study emphasizes that the optimization of restorative justice by the Samapta Unit can be a strategic alternative in handling minor crimes that are more humane, fast, and just
