Abstract

This study examines the verdict in Case No. 105/Pid. Sus/2023/PN Kupang, in which Yan Quarius Bunga, a legislative candidate, was found guilty of falsifying an E-KTP to meet election requirements based on Article 520 of Law No. 7/2017 Concering on Elections and Article 55(1) of the Criminal Code. The judges highlighted the defendant's intent (dolus) and his position as a medeplegen (participant) in a structured scheme involving political elites, but imposed a light of 1 month probation and a small amount of fine, taking into account mitigating factors such as the defendant's cooperation and document revision. Critically, this verdict contradicts the maximum sanction stipulated by law, which is 6 years in prison, which has the potential to reduce the deterrent effect on election crimes. This study highlights the weaknesses of the system: (1) inadequate sanctions for organized crimes involving political actors, (2) failure to hold intellectual perpetrators (party officials) accountable, and (3) procedural errors, such as the return of the laptop used for falsification. Normative and empirical methods show tensions between retributive and restorative justice, with the verdict favoring rehabilitation over democratic integrity. The case reflects the paradoxical role of the judiciary in combating electoral fraud, highlighting the importance of coherent law enforcement to maintain public trust in democracy. Systemic legislative reforms to prevent identity fraud and strengthen electoral transparency are recommended, so that the democratic process does not become a mere administrative formality vulnerable to manipulation.

Abstract

This study examines the tendency of perpetrators to commit serious crimes that result in the death of victims in Kupang City, with the main focus on the crime of murder. Based on these problems, this study focuses on two main aspects, namely: (1) factors that cause someone to tend to commit the crime of murder, and (2) the role of the social environment and the legal system in influencing this tendency. This study uses an empirical research method with a qualitative approach. Data were obtained through documentation studies of court decisions, interviews with perpetrators of crimes at the Kupang Class IIA Penitentiary, and analysis of the factors causing the crime. The results of the study indicate that the tendency of someone to commit the crime of murder is influenced by various factors, including emotional drives, revenge, the influence of alcohol, and social and economic conditions. In addition, weak social control and a less supportive environment also contribute to the increased risk of someone committing serious crimes. Therefore, more effective prevention efforts are needed through social and legal approaches, including increasing legal education in the community, monitoring the factors that trigger crime, and strengthening the role of law enforcement officers in handling murder cases more optimally.

Abstract

This study evaluates the criminal law perspective on the forgery of signatures and stamps committed by Saenama Village Officials, Malaka Regency, in 2022, to analyze the legal implications and criminogenic factors underlying the act of forgery committed by village officials. The method used in this study is an empirical approach by utilizing primary data through interviews and secondary data derived from legal documents. The research findings indicate that the forgery was carried out in order to take village funds illegally, and was triggered by internal factors such as personal motives, lack of knowledge of the law, abuse of power, and economic pressure, as well as external factors caused by weak supervision. Using a juridical-empirical approach, this study examines how the creation of fake documents, forged signatures, and counterfeit stamps reflects systemic weaknesses in local governance and legal accountability.This action not only violates Article 263 of the Criminal Code concerning forgery, but is also included in the category of corruption crimes based on the Corruption Law with broad impacts, namely losses to the state, disruption of village development, and reduced public trust. This study concludes that strengthening supervision mechanisms, enhancing legal education for village officials, and implementing transparent governance practices are essential strategies to prevent the recurrence of similar fraudulent acts.
