Abstract

This study examines the reconstruction of the guilt concept in the 2023 Indonesian Criminal Code through a neurolaw perspective. Employing doctrinal legal research with an interdisciplinary approach, it analyzes Law Number 1/2023, neurolaw publications from international journals, and recent Supreme Court decisions (2023–2025) through thematic and conceptual analysis. The findings reveal three principal issues. First, Articles 17, 35, 38, and 39 contain progressive provisions but lack neuroscientific specificity, creating interpretive gaps: undefined “ability” (Article 17), unspecified “impairment” threshold (Article 35), and exclusive reliance on traditional psychiatric categories (Articles 38 and 39). Second, analysis of court decisions reveals significant interpretive disparity in cases involving mentally disordered defendants. Neuroscientific evidence demonstrates that prefrontal cortex impairments compromise moral decision-making and impulse control, supporting a spectrum-based understanding of guilt. Third, integrating neurolaw would provide objective criteria for assessing cognitive and volitional capacity across the graded framework of Articles 38 and 39. This study is the first to systematically integrate international neurolaw literature with doctrinal analysis of the 2023 Criminal Code, offering interpretative guidance for key articles and an implementation roadmap for Indonesian criminal justice aligned with the ultimum remedium principle.

Abstract

This study examines the conflict resolution practices of Baduy, Kajang, and Suku Anak Dalam (SAD) Jambi communities, all of whom continue to apply customary law to address violations within their territories. Using a combination of normative and empirical methods with snowball data collection, the research identifies the traditional mechanisms through which these communities maintain social order. Baduy resolve disputes through Silih Hampura, carried out via the Ngabokoran process and guided by Pikukuh, an unwritten code defining customary violations and their resolutions. Kajang apply Pasang Ri Kajang, an oral system that uses oaths, crowbar-burning, or incense-burning rituals in conflict settlement. The SAD Jambi follow a customary framework consisting of four primary and four secondary principles and dua belas categories of violations. Conflict resolution in Kajang and SAD communities typically involves customary fines, while the Baduy impose banishment rather than imprisonment. Across the three groups, the central aim of customary dispute resolution is the restoration of cosmic religious balance, benefiting not only the parties involved but the community and the wider natural order.

Abstract

This study examines the formulation of a victim-oriented plea bargaining model to promote substantive justice for both defendants and victims in Indonesia. Plea bargaining refers to a defendant’s admission of guilt through negotiation with the public prosecutor in exchange for a reduced sentence. It may be applied to first-time offenses punishable by a maximum imprisonment of five years and a maximum fine of five hundred million rupiah, provided that the defendant agrees to compensate the victim. However, judicial practice shows that plea bargaining tends to prioritize imprisonment while neglecting victims’ rights to restitution. Using a normative juridical method, this study analyzes statutory regulations and legal literature through qualitative descriptive analysis. The findings reveal two main issues. First, plea bargaining is regulated under Article 78 paragraph (1), Article 205 paragraph (2), and Article 234 paragraph (1) of Law Number 20 of 2025 concerning the Criminal Procedure Code, but non-compliance with restitution obligations only results in substitute imprisonment, leaving victims uncompensated. Second, a victim-oriented model should require defendants to apologize, involve victims in negotiations, and ensure agreement on compensation, settlement mechanisms, and criminal sanctions. When defendants are unable to provide compensation, the State should assume responsibility through a victim compensation fund. This study recommends revising the Criminal Procedure Code, establishing state-funded victim compensation, strengthening prosecutorial supervision over plea bargaining agreements, and formulating Supreme Court guidelines to balance defendants’ rights with victims’ substantive justice.
