Abstract

Early identification of behavioral risk in children is essential for preventing the escalation of developmental, emotional, and social difficulties. Conventional child behavior assessment practices, however, often rely on fragmented observations and subjective judgments that may overlook contextual risk factors. Applying forensic psychology principles offers a structured and evidence-based framework that emphasizes systematic observation, behavioral pattern analysis, and contextual interpretation. This study aims to examine the applicability and effectiveness of forensic psychology principles in child behavior assessment and early intervention contexts. The research employed a qualitative-dominant mixed-methods design involving structured behavioral observations, semi-structured interviews with educators and practitioners, and analysis of assessment records in educational and community-based settings. The findings indicate that forensic-informed assessment enhances the accuracy of early behavioral risk identification and supports more targeted and timely interventions. Children assessed using this framework demonstrated greater behavioral improvement following early intervention, particularly in emotional regulation and social interaction. The results also highlight that behavioral difficulties are closely linked to environmental and contextual factors rather than fixed individual deficits. The study concludes that forensic psychology principles can be effectively adapted beyond legal contexts to support preventive, ethical, and developmentally sensitive child behavior assessment. Integrating these principles into early intervention practices strengthens interdisciplinary collaboration and contributes to more responsive support systems for children at behavioral risk.

Abstract

Indonesia’s tropical forests face increasing threats from climate change, deforestation, and unsustainable land use, creating urgency for adaptive and resilient forestry policies. Existing regulations often lack integration of empirical evidence and climate risk considerations, resulting in suboptimal governance outcomes. Understanding the effectiveness of policy interventions is critical for enhancing forest resilience and mitigating environmental and socio-economic impacts. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of Indonesia’s forestry policies through an evidence-based lens, emphasizing climate resilience, legal frameworks, and participatory governance. The research investigates how policy design and implementation align with environmental, social, and technological factors that influence forest sustainability. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining quantitative analysis of deforestation rates, forest cover data, and climate vulnerability indicators with qualitative assessments from policy document reviews, stakeholder interviews, and expert consultations. Triangulation of data sources provided a robust evaluation of policy outcomes and implementation challenges. Results indicate that policies incorporating climate adaptation strategies, technological monitoring, and participatory mechanisms achieve higher effectiveness in sustaining forest cover and reducing illegal activities. Gaps remain in enforcement, institutional coordination, and local stakeholder engagement, highlighting areas for improvement. Evidence supports the integration of adaptive, evidence-based, and participatory approaches into national forestry policies to enhance climate resilience and sustainable forest management. Findings provide actionable guidance for policymakers, practitioners, and international partners in tropical forest governance.
