Abstract

This paper seeks to examine the extent to which restorative justice principles have been integrated into Indonesia's criminal justice process, particularly concerning sentenced offenders. However, in Indonesia, while criminal enforcement concerning the rights of suspects and accused individuals are provided in several legislations, the aspects of victims’ protection have remained unattended to. The paper therefore argued for the review of the administration of criminal justice legislations and retraining of officials under the criminal justice system in order to strengthen the justice system and her service delivery. While these reforms are widely regarded as an essential task’s, the paper explores the challenges encountered in implementing restorative justice for Indonesian Prisoners, especially at the investigation stage. The paper’s analysis revealed how law enforcement agencies, like the Indonesian National Police, can practically apply restorative justice principles to create more robust frameworks for its use. Drawing on the analysis of the paper, it argues that despite efforts made to promotes restorative justice, differences still exists between traditional criminal concepts and its applications in Indonesia. Examining the findings of the paper, it concludes that there is need to align investigative methods with restorative justice principles in order to be able to address minor offences effectively and improve community well-being.

Abstract

This research analyzes the judicial implications of the Constitutional Court’s rulings on structured, systematic, and massive (TSM) violations in Indonesian elections, and their impact on democratic integrity. Using a socio-legal approach, it combines legal analysis with social science perspectives to examine how the Court interprets and applies TSM principles within a broader socio-political context. The study finds that while the Constitutional Court plays a pivotal role in upholding electoral integrity and safeguarding democratic values, significant challenges remain. Chief among these is the difficulty of proving TSM violations, which are often entangled with powerful political interests. These challenges can weaken public trust, hinder accountability, and contribute to a democratic deficit. The study concludes that more robust judicial mechanisms and clearer evidentiary standards are needed to ensure fair adjudication and strengthen Indonesia’s democratic institutions.

Abstract

The Child-Friendly City program in Indonesia aims to integrate children's rights into urban governance, promoting safe, inclusive environments for children’s development. Initiated by the Ministry of Women’s Empowerment and Child Protection, this program has expanded significantly since its inception in the 2010s. It has gained recognition for establishing child-friendly infrastructure and services such as playgrounds, libraries, and health centers. However, rapid urbanization and climate risks have posed new challenges, prompting the inclusion of children’s participation in urban decision-making. The program is guided by 24 indicators assessing health, education, protection, and participation, categorizing cities into four achievement levels. Despite successes, empirical data from Pemalang Regency reveals a gap between policy aspirations and outcomes, with rising child violence cases indicating ineffective child protection. The study explores the discrepancy between policy formulation and implementation, analyzing institutional barriers such as fragmented governance, inadequate coordination, and resource constraints. Additionally, socio-cultural factors, including the view of child protection as a familial responsibility, further hinder progress. This research employs a non-doctrinal approach, combining legal and field-based analysis to identify these challenges and offer recommendations. The findings emphasize the need for comprehensive data systems, enhanced child protection training, and stronger coordination among local actors. By incorporating children’s voices into policy creation and strengthening legal frameworks, the Child-Friendly City program in Pemalang can become a model for broader child-rights realization, ensuring children’s safety, participation, and well-being in urban governance.
