Abstract

Violence in football in Indonesia has become a recurring and concerning problem. Violent incidents between supporters, players and security forces often occur, tarnishing the image of sport which should prioritize sportsmanship and unity. This incident was not only physically detrimental, but also had a negative impact on the development of national football. The role of law in dealing with violence in the game of football is very important in regulating the behavior of players, officials and fans as well as in enforcing rules to maintain safety and security. This study examines the role of law from two main perspectives: regulatory and enforcement. From a regulatory perspective, the law plays an important role in determining the rules and regulations governing behavior on the field, including stadium policies, spectator rules and sanctions for violators. On the other hand, in enforcement, the law acts as a tool to enforce these rules and apply consequences to violators, whether through disciplinary action from the football federation or criminal legal processes. The normative legal research method was chosen as the method in this research. The aim of this research is how the law can be an effective tool in overcoming violence on the football field, creating a football environment that is safe, fair and has integrity.

Abstract

This study examines police accountability and institutional oversight within the Indonesian National Police (Polri) following the Kanjuruhan Tragedy, focusing on the relationship between police authority, human rights protection, and democratic governance. Employing a normative juridical method with statutory, conceptual, and comparative approaches, the study analyzes Indonesia’s legal framework and compares it with oversight mechanisms in the United Kingdom. The analysis is grounded in the principles of the rule of law, checks and balances, proportionality in the use of force, and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR). The findings reveal that Polri’s institutional design as an autonomous state institution directly accountable to the President provides considerable operational independence in maintaining public order and security. However, this institutional autonomy is not matched by sufficiently independent and effective external oversight, resulting in an accountability gap over the exercise of coercive police powers. The Kanjuruhan Tragedy demonstrates how deficiencies in command responsibility, supervision, and compliance with human rights-based use-of-force standards may lead to serious violations of the right to life and personal security. From an ICCPR perspective, these shortcomings reflect the State’s failure to fulfill its positive obligation to prevent arbitrary deprivation of life during public assemblies. Comparative analysis with the United Kingdom indicates that democratic policing requires a balance between operational independence and robust accountability through independent civilian oversight, transparent investigations, parliamentary scrutiny, judicial review, and accessible complaint mechanisms. Accordingly, this study proposes an integrated accountability reform by strengthening Kompolnas, enhancing parliamentary and judicial oversight, improving disciplinary transparency, expanding civilian participation, and utilizing technology-based monitoring. These reforms are essential to align police authority with constitutional principles, the rule of law, and international human rights standards while restoring public trust in Polri.
