Abstract

The aim of investigative research is a pro justisia stage that serves to gather two pieces of evidence to find the perpetrator of a criminal act after an investigation. This process is known as due process of law, which is contained in the Criminal Procedure Code (KUHAP). The renewal of criminal procedure law is to balance the pre-enactment of the 2026 Criminal Law. Therefore, several research objectives were obtained, namely to explain the authority of investigation in criminal acts in the 1981 KUHAP. Then, another objective is to explain the legal policy review related to the authority of investigation in criminal acts based on the Draft National Criminal Procedure Code. The method used in this study is normative juridical research combined with empirical data, through a conceptual approach, a legislative approach, and a case approach. Novelty This study is novel in that criminal procedure law, particularly dominus litis authority, cannot be expanded and the portion of investigation must remain with the state police investigators. This refers to the effectiveness and efficiency of law enforcement and the principles of human rights. The results of this study show that the authority to investigate criminal acts in Law No. 8 of 1981 on Criminal Procedure is vested in the Indonesian National Police. The legal policy review regarding investigative authority in criminal cases based on the Draft National Criminal Procedure Code aims to prioritize the prosecutorial authority of the public prosecutor in the handling of criminal cases. However, this situation may lead to undesirable issues in the future, such as violations of human rights and the inefficiency of the criminal justice process. The conclusion of this study is that the expansion of the authority of public prosecutors as criminal investigators is dangerous. Therefore, in terms of efficiency, effectiveness, and the enforcement of human rights, the expansion of the authority of public prosecutors in investigations under the Draft Criminal Procedure Code has the potential to undermine the sense of legal justice.

Abstract

Crimes occur in many ways, one of them in the context of elections in Indonesia. The potential crimes perpetrated by political party supporters in various areas of Indonesia whose law enforcement is not working to the maximum is one of the problems. The problem in this study is first, how do legal provisions relate to law enforcement against electoral crimes in Indonesia? Secondly, the problem of law enforcement against electoral crimes in Indonesia? Third, reconstruction of law enforcement against electoral crimes in Indonesia? The aim of this research is to determine the regulation and legal analysis of the forms of crime black campaigns in accordance with the law. This research uses normative law research with secondary data and processes data from primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials. The results of the first study are that the legal provisions for electoral offences in Indonesia are regulated in the Law Number 7 of 2017, Criminal Law, and the Law on Electronic Information and Transactions. (ITE). Second, that the Law Enforcement Problems Against Electoral Crimes in Indonesia, i.e. the inadequate application of criminal law in elections, constitutes an obstacle to the increase in the incidence of electoral crimes that have violated the Election Law Number 7 of 2017 and the Penal Code as well as the Information and Electronic Transaction Law. (ITE). Thirdly, it is expected that Indonesia will have a specialized agency that will strictly prosecute electoral criminals. Therefore, it can be concluded that electoral crimes are not maximized due to weak enforcement of electoral law.

Abstract

The research aimed to analyze the alignment between the judge's decision in cases of domestic violence against children and the provisions of Law Number 23 of 2004 on the Elimination of Domestic Violence and Qonun Number 9 of 2019 on the Implementation of Handling Violence Against Women and Children. The study also considered moral considerations and the overall benefits. The research methodology employs a case law study, which involves examining court decisions to get insight into the application of the law in specific circumstances. Specifically, the study focuses on the Decision of the Tapak Tuan District Court Judge Number 37/Pid.Sus/2020/PN. Case law is utilized to examine court rulings to comprehend how the law is implemented in specific instances. The library research method is employed in conjunction with a sociological juridical perspective. The data for the research is sourced from the Law and various pertinent articles addressing the research difficulties. Furthermore, to bolster the ideas of the study, the paper also incorporates the findings of several empirical studies. According to the findings, it appears that the judge primarily focuses on formal factors and gives little weight to material considerations in their decision-making process. This aligns with the viewpoint expressed by Member Judge II and the concurring opinion within the panel of judges. However, the author acknowledges and values the decision made by the panel of judges. The author recognizes the challenging nature of the judges' task, as they must not only consider the legal interests involved in the case, but also consider the community's sense of justice in order to achieve legal certainty.

Abstract

The implementation of the principle of justice for crime victims in the criminal justice process is a crucial issue in efforts to reform criminal law in Indonesia. The perspective of Natural Law Philosophy provides a strong normative foundation through the idea that every human being has natural rights that must be respected by the state, including the right of victims to obtain just redress. This study examines the extent to which Natural Law principles, such as moral justice, respect for human dignity, and balance of rights, are reflected in policies and practices for protecting crime victims. The method used is a normative juridical approach through analysis of relevant laws and regulations, doctrines, and court decisions. The results of the study indicate that although positive legal instruments such as the Witness and Victim Protection Law, provisions on restitution and compensation, and assistance mechanisms have accommodated victims' rights, their implementation remains inadequate. Barriers arise in the form of limited access, minimal understanding among law enforcement officials, and suboptimal service providers. These imperfections create a gap between the ideals of natural justice and positive sentencing practices. This research emphasizes the need to prioritize reformulating sentencing policies that are more oriented toward victim recovery so that the Indonesian legal system aligns with the universal values of Natural Law Philosophy and is able to deliver substantive justice in every law enforcement process.

Abstract

This study explores the intersection of sacred water rituals and ecological awareness, examining how religious practices related to water shape environmental virtues and promote water conservation efforts. Various religious traditions, including Islam, Christianity, Hinduism, and indigenous practices, treat water as a sacred resource, emphasizing its purity, sanctity, and the responsibility of humans to protect it. These rituals, such as Islamic ablution (wudhu), Christian baptism, and Hindu purification rites, not only serve spiritual purposes but also embody environmental ethics that encourage restraint, humility, and stewardship in the use of water. The study employs a comparative qualitative approach, integrating textual exegesis, ethnographic observations, and interviews with religious practitioners to analyze how different faith traditions frame water as sacred and how these frameworks translate into practical behaviors regarding water conservation. The findings reveal that religious water rituals contribute to an ecological self, fostering a deep respect for nature and a commitment to sustainable water use. However, challenges exist in reconciling traditional practices with modern water scarcity issues, especially in regions where water conservation is a critical concern. Despite these challenges, religious communities have the potential to leverage their ritual heritage to foster global awareness and action toward water conservation. Future research should explore interfaith collaborations in water conservation and investigate the impact of ritual practices on real-world water conservation behaviors. This study highlights the potential of sacred water rituals as powerful tools for promoting environmental stewardship and addressing global water challenges.

Abstract

The rapid development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has brought significant changes to the criminal justice system, particularly in criminal investigations and evidentiary processes, while simultaneously raising complex legal and ethical challenges. Objective: This study aims to analyze the legal implications of the use of AI in criminal investigations, focusing on its benefits, risks, and challenges related to the admissibility of AI-based evidence, as well as the need for regulatory frameworks that ensure fairness, transparency, and accountability. Methods: This research employs a normative qualitative approach through the analysis of legal regulations, a review of legal and technological literature, and a comparative approach across jurisdictions, complemented by case studies of AI applications in law enforcement practices. Results: The findings indicate that AI enhances investigative efficiency through data analysis, crime prediction, and digital forensics; however, it also poses risks such as algorithmic bias, human rights violations, and issues concerning the reliability and transparency of evidence. Furthermore, differences across legal systems result in the absence of uniform standards for the admissibility of AI-based evidence. Therefore, adaptive regulatory frameworks grounded in the principles of fairness, transparency, and accountability are required, along with strengthened human oversight to ensure that the use of AI aligns with the principles of justice and human rights protection.
