Abstract

The integration of neuroimaging technology in criminal justice worldwide has opened new avenues for understanding the neural underpinnings of criminal behavior and improving the accuracy of legal processes. This paper explores the application of neuroimaging techniques, such as functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) and Positron Emission Tomography (PET), in the context of criminal investigations and trials. Neuroimaging provides insight into brain function related to intent, deception, memory, and cognitive control, which is critical in determining culpability and assessing mental states. By reviewing case studies and current research, this study evaluates the potential benefits and ethical challenges of using neuroimaging as evidence in court. The findings suggest that although neuroimaging holds the promise of improving the objectivity and reliability of criminal justice, its use should be conducted with caution due to legal, ethical, and technical limitations. The paper concludes with recommendations for the responsible integration of neuroimaging into legal practice to ensure fairness and protect the rights of individuals. The implications of these findings for criminal law enforcement in Indonesia are also discussed, highlighting the potential of applying neuroimaging techniques to improve the fairness and effectiveness of the legal system.

Abstract

President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) officially approved the second revision of Law Number 1 of 2024 on the Second Amendment to Law Number 11 of 2008 on Electronic Information and Transactions (EIT) on January 4, 2024, reflecting the government's effort to align regulations with the rapid development of information and communication technology. While this revision introduces significant changes, particularly Articles 27A and 27B regulate actions that attack a person's honor or reputation. The public views it as a missed opportunity to eliminate existing ambiguities and potential misuse. This research employs normative legal methods with statutory, conceptual and comparative approaches, adopting a descriptive-prescriptive nature. The analysis reveals that the unclear definitions and potential for multiple interpretations of Articles 27A and 27B negatively impact freedom of expression, creating fear and uncertainty among the public, journalists, and government critics. Furthermore, these provisions violate fundamental human rights principles and contradict the 1945 Constitution and the values of Pancasila, which uphold freedom of expression and social justice. Therefore, while this revision reflects an effort to address the challenges of the digital era, further revisions are necessary to ensure that the law not only meets the needs of law enforcement but also protects human rights, freedom of expression, and remains consistent with the 1945 Constitution and Pancasila. This will prevent the law from becoming a tool for suppressing critical voices and journalistic investigations, which are essential to a healthy democratic society.

Abstract

Domestic violence remains a problem affecting communities in Indonesia, including the community of Nian Village, TTU Regency, NTT Province. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct outreach activities on the PKDRT Law in order to raise public awareness of the PKDRT Law, including the negative impacts of domestic violence. In addition, this activity also aims to improve optimal protection for the community of Nian Village. The method used in this activity is outreach through discussion and question and answer sessions. This activity was held in Nian Village on 10-13 September 2025. The socialisation was carried out in stages in four hamlets, namely Hamlets A, B, C, and D, and was attended by the community, the Head of Nian Village, and village officials. During the activity, the speakers provided education on the PKDRT Law, specifically on the elements of domestic violence, types of domestic violence, criminal penalties for perpetrators of domestic violence, contributing factors, adverse effects, prevention efforts, protection and recovery efforts for victims as regulated in the PKDRT Law, as well as the role of the village government and the community in preventing and handling domestic violence. This was followed by a discussion and question and answer session. Through this activity, the community gained legal awareness to distinguish between behaviours that are considered violence and those that are not. Additionally, through this activity, the community learned about the criminal penalties for perpetrators of domestic violence and the adverse effects of domestic violence. Furthermore, this activity also contributed to optimising joint supervision between the village government and the community to be more sensitive and responsive to the surrounding environment.
