Abstract

Drug abuse among children is a multidimensional issue that requires a legal response that is sensitive to the principle of the best interests of the child. This study examines the issue of imposing criminal sanctions on children who abuse drugs, focusing on efforts to harmonize the Child Protection Law and the Narcotics Law and the application of the concept of restorative justice. Based on a normative legal research method with a legislative and conceptual approach, this study examines various regulations, court decisions, and relevant legal literature. The findings show a gap between the rehabilitative principle mandated by the Child Protection Law and the practice in the field, which is still predominantly oriented towards punishment. Although diversion mechanisms and restorative justice have been prioritized, their implementation is still hampered by the low level of understanding among law enforcement officials, limited rehabilitation facilities, and strong social stigma. Synchronization between the repressive nature of the Narcotics Law and the protective orientation of the SPPA Law has not been optimally achieved, resulting in inconsistencies in the application of sanctions. This study concludes that there is a need to reformulate policies that place rehabilitation as the main focus, strengthen the capacity of officials in restorative justice, develop community-based rehabilitation models, and improve coordination among stakeholders. The recommendations proposed include revising regulations on diversion, establishing special rehabilitation institutions for children, and implementing public education programs to reduce social stigma. Consistent application of the principle of the best interests of the child is expected to create a more protective and rehabilitation-oriented juvenile justice system.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the provisions and legal implications of Article 100 of the 2023 Criminal Code regarding the implementation of the death penalty in Indonesia, particularly in terms of legal certainty. Article 100 introduces a ten-year probation period for those sentenced to death, allowing for the conversion of the sentence to life imprisonment or 20 years if the convict demonstrates commendable behavior and actions. This policy raises questions about the consistency of court decisions, the predictability of sentence enforcement, and the authority of law enforcement agencies. The research uses a normative legal method with a legislative, conceptual, and analytical approach. The legal materials consist of the 2023 Criminal Code, the old Criminal Code, Constitutional Court decisions, academic literature, and related legal sources. The analysis was conducted qualitatively through the inventory and interpretation of legal norms. The results of the study show that Article 100 of the 2023 Criminal Code brings about a paradigm shift by placing the death penalty as a special punishment that is alternative and humanistic in nature. However, four main issues were found: potential legal uncertainty, the absence of objective standards in evaluating good behavior, the lack of synchronization between court decisions and the implementation of executions, which depend on administrative decisions, and the increasing burden on correctional institutions. Therefore, derivative regulations are needed to establish evaluation standards, oversight mechanisms, and inter-agency coordination so that the goal of humanizing the death penalty can be achieved without reducing legal certainty.
