Abstract

The erga omnes principle, denoting obligations owed universally rather than to specific parties, plays a crucial role in constitutional law and judicial review. In Indonesia, the Constitutional Court upholds this principle by ensuring its rulings have a binding effect on all legal actors and institutions. This paper examines how the Court's jurisprudence has shaped the new Indonesian Penal Code through landmark constitutional decisions. By analyzing key rulings that annulled provisions from the colonial-era Penal Code, this study explores the Court’s influence on legislative reform and human rights protections. Utilizing normative legal research methods, including statute, case, and conceptual approaches, this study assesses how the Constitutional Court enforces the erga omnes principle through judicial review. The findings reveal that while several unconstitutional provisions from the old Penal Code were removed, some were reintroduced in the new code with modifications, often as complaint-based offenses to balance legal certainty with free expression. Despite these revisions, concerns persist regarding the potential misuse of reintroduced provisions to suppress dissent. This study underscores the Constitutional Court’s role in safeguarding democracy by ensuring its decisions are universally applicable. However, challenges remain in enforcing compliance with its rulings. As Indonesia continues its legal evolution, ongoing judicial oversight will be essential to uphold constitutional supremacy, human rights, and the rule of law.

Abstract

Purpose: To purpose the non penal efforts in dealing with forest and land burning in Lampung Province. Methodology/approach: The methods used in this research are normative legal and empirical legal approaches, namely by conducting literature studies and field studies by seeking information through interviews. Result/findings: The findings show that based on data from the Lampung Regional Police (Polda), there have been no reports of forest and land fires in Lampung Province in recent years. However, data from the Ministry of Environment and Forestry shows that forest and land fires still often occur in the region. Therefore, overcoming criminal acts of forest and land burning requires serious and integrated efforts from various authorized parties. Conclusions: karhutla control in Lampung Province through non-penal efforts focuses on preventive and educational steps, such as counseling, patrols, and monitoring of hotspots by the Lampung Police and the Forestry Service. Collaboration with local governments, NGOs, and the community is the main strategy in reducing the number of karhutla. Meanwhile, non-penal efforts face obstacles such as limited personnel, minimal facilities, low public awareness, and the habit of clearing land by burning. Therefore, synergy between various parties is needed to increase the effectiveness of forest and land fire prevention and control. Limitations: This research only analyzes non-penal efforts to prevent forest and land fires in Lampung based on data from relevant agencies, without discussing the effectiveness of criminal law enforcement or the long-term impact of policies, apart from that, differences in reports from various sources are a challenge in obtaining a completely accurate picture of forest and land fire incidents in Lampung. Contribution: Making a positive contribution to agencies involved in preventing forest and land fires, so that they can play a more active role in improving law enforcement and protecting the community in the future.

Abstract

Purpose: This study analyzes updates and comparative changes in the regulation of corruption crimes, focusing on the transition from the Corruption Eradication Law to the New Criminal Code. Methodology: A normative juridical approach is employed, utilizing both primary and secondary sources. Primary data is obtained through interviews with key informants, while secondary data is drawn from literature, including books, academic studies, and journal publications. Results: The findings reveal significant changes in the regulation of criminal sanctions related to corruption, particularly in terms of imprisonment and financial penalties. These shifts are evident in the transition from the previous Corruption Law to the updated provisions under the New Criminal Code, specifically Articles 603 and 604. Notably, certain provisions show a reduction in the minimum terms of imprisonment and fine amounts. Conclusion: While some sanctions—such as maximum prison terms for bribery and fines for gratification—have increased, the overall trend in the New Criminal Code is toward more lenient penalties compared to the earlier legal framework. Limitations: This study is limited to a legal comparison between the Corruption Eradication Law and the provisions of the New Criminal Code. Contribution: The study contributes to legal scholarship by offering a comparative analysis of recent developments in corruption-related criminal law, supporting improved understanding and enforcement of anti-corruption regulations.

Abstract

The rise in illegal online loan cases (pinjol) in Indonesia, especially in rural areas, is a serious problem that requires special attention. The lack of digital and financial literacy makes rural communities, including in South Lampung, vulnerable to being trapped in illegal lending practices that are detrimental. This counseling activity aims to increase public awareness of the dangers and impacts of illegal pinjol and provide an understanding of how to recognize and avoid them. The method used is an educational approach through seminars, interactive discussions, and the distribution of educational materials. The results of the emergency counseling activity on illegal online loans for rural communities in South Lampung showed an increase in participants' understanding of the characteristics of illegal loans and preventive steps that can be taken. It is hoped that this activity can be the first step in forming a society that is more critical and alert to unofficial digital financial practices.

Abstract

Perkembangan platform digital telah membawa perubahan signifikan dalam sektor jasa penyewaan kendaraan bermotor, khususnya usaha rental mobil. Digitalisasi memberikan kemudahan dan efisiensi dalam transaksi, namun di sisi lain juga meningkatkan risiko terjadinya tindak pidana penggelapan mobil rental. Kasus penggelapan mobil rental berbasis platform digital menunjukkan kompleksitas tersendiri karena melibatkan hubungan kontraktual, pemanfaatan teknologi informasi, serta kepentingan pemulihan kerugian korban. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis efektivitas penegakan hukum terhadap kasus penggelapan mobil rental berbasis platform digital serta mengkaji penerapan pendekatan Restorative Justice sebagai alternatif penyelesaian perkara. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah metode deskriptif yuridis dengan pendekatan yuridis normatif, melalui studi kepustakaan terhadap peraturan perundang-undangan, doktrin hukum, dan hasil penelitian terdahulu. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penegakan hukum pidana terhadap penggelapan mobil rental belum sepenuhnya efektif, terutama dalam memberikan perlindungan dan pemulihan kerugian korban. Proses pemidanaan pelaku sering kali tidak sebanding dengan kepentingan korban yang mengutamakan pengembalian kendaraan atau ganti rugi. Oleh karena itu, pendekatan Restorative Justice dinilai relevan untuk diterapkan secara selektif dan proporsional, karena mampu mendorong pemulihan kerugian korban, tanggung jawab pelaku, serta pencapaian keadilan substantif dalam sistem peradilan pidana di era digital.

Abstract

Tindak pidana pengancaman dengan kekerasan merupakan perbuatan melawan hukum yang tidak hanya membahayakan keselamatan fisik dan psikologis individu, tetapi juga berpotensi menimbulkan keresahan, rasa takut, serta mengganggu ketertiban umum dalam kehidupan bermasyarakat. Perbuatan tersebut dapat merusak rasa aman dan kepercayaan masyarakat terhadap sistem hukum, sehingga memerlukan penanganan dan penegakan hukum yang tegas, adil, dan proporsional. Oleh karena itu, penjatuhan pidana terhadap pelaku pengancaman dengan kekerasan harus dilakukan secara cermat dan berorientasi pada tujuan pemidanaan. Tujuan pemidanaan tidak hanya mencakup aspek pembalasan semata, tetapi juga meliputi pencegahan terjadinya tindak pidana serupa di masa mendatang, perlindungan masyarakat dari perbuatan yang merugikan, pembinaan dan perbaikan perilaku pelaku, serta pemulihan keseimbangan sosial yang terganggu akibat tindak pidana tersebut. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis penjatuhan pidana terhadap pelaku tindak pidana pengancaman dengan kekerasan sebagaimana tercantum dalam Putusan Nomor 428/Pid.B/2024/PN.Tjk, serta menilai kesesuaiannya dengan ketentuan hukum pidana yang berlaku dan tujuan pemidanaan dalam hukum pidana modern. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah metode deskriptif yuridis dengan pendekatan hukum normatif. Data penelitian berupa bahan hukum sekunder yang meliputi peraturan perundang-undangan, putusan pengadilan, dan literatur hukum yang relevan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penjatuhan pidana penjara selama lima bulan terhadap terdakwa telah memenuhi ketentuan hukum pidana yang berlaku dan mencerminkan asas kepastian hukum. Selain itu, pidana tersebut telah mempertimbangkan aspek keadilan dan kemanfaatan hukum secara seimbang serta sejalan dengan tujuan pemidanaan dalam hukum pidana modern, sehingga diharapkan dapat menjadi rujukan dalam praktik penegakan hukum selanjutnya.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to analyze the modus operandi of human trafficking in Indonesia, its legal framework, and the application of criminal sanctions to perpetrators based on the legal objectives of justice, certainty, and utility. Methodology/approach: Using secondary sources and a normative juridical approach, this study analyzes statutes, regulations, and legal concepts through a descriptive-analytical method to assess the consistency of legislation and its application in human trafficking cases. Results/findings: Findings show that human trafficking in Indonesia involves sexual exploitation, forced labor, child trafficking, and organ trade, regulated under Law No. 21/2007, the Criminal Code, and Law No. 35/2014 on Child Protection. Conclusions: Human trafficking in Indonesia includes sexual exploitation, forced labor, child trafficking, and organ trade. It is addressed through Law No. 21/2007 as a lex specialis, supported by the Criminal Code and Child Protection Law. Limitations: This study uses a normative juridical analysis at a macro level, without empirical field data or direct perspectives, so it does not fully capture local implementation issues or judicial inconsistencies. Contribution: This research offers a theoretical and practical framework for harmonizing the trilogy of legal objectives in criminalizing human trafficking and sentencing policies in Indonesia.

Abstract

Purpose: This study examines the efforts to combat illegal mining activities in the jurisdiction of Tulang Bawang Regency, Lampung Province, by analyzing both penal and non-penal approaches as well as the effectiveness of law enforcement through the lens of legal substance, legal structure, and legal culture. Methodology: Using a normative juridical approach, this research relies on primary and secondary legal materials. Primary data were obtained from interviews with key informants and relevant case observations, while secondary data were collected from legislation, books on penal policy, scientific journals, and previous studies related to criminal law enforcement in the mining sector. Results: The findings reveal that the penal approach, as regulated in Law No. 3 of 2020 on Mineral and Coal Mining and the Law on Environmental Protection and Management, provides a strong legal basis to impose criminal sanctions on illegal mining actors. However, law enforcement remains constrained by overlapping regulations, complex licensing procedures, limited resources of law enforcement agencies, and low public legal awareness. Non-penal measures such as community education, simplification of mining permits, economic empowerment programs, and local participation are crucial to addressing the socio-economic roots of illegal mining. Limitations: This study is confined to examining legal developments by comparing the Corruption Eradication Law with the provisions in the New Criminal Code. Contribution: This study contributes to the discourse on criminal law policy by highlighting the need for a balanced combination of penal and non-penal strategies to protect natural resources and achieve sustainable development. The findings can serve as a reference for local governments, law enforcement agencies, and policymakers in formulating more effective measures to eradicate illegal mining in Tulang Bawang and similar regions in Indonesia.
