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.

Abstract

Problems arising in criminal law policy related to the formulation of sanctions for drug users in Law Number 35 of 2009 concerning Narcotics include the lack of clarity in distinguishing between addicts and dealers, inconsistent application of penalties, and the lack of a rehabilitation approach as an alternative to criminal punishment. This often results in users who should be receiving treatment being imprisoned, making it difficult to achieve the goals of recovery and reducing social impacts. Furthermore, there are challenges in integrating an understanding of international law and developments in health sciences with existing regulations in Indonesia. The research method applied uses a legislative approach with a six-month activity plan. The scope or object of study in this research includes criminal law policy and the establishment of criminal sanctions for drug abuse. The legal materials used consist of primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials. The research location is focused on the Indonesian jurisdiction, with data collection techniques in the form of document studies. Data analysis was conducted using qualitative analysis methods. The results of this study are the problem in the regulation in Law Number 35 of 2009 concerning Narcotics regarding the use of narcotics is the application of harsh penalties for narcotics cases in Indonesia often does not clearly differentiate between users and dealers, so that many users who should receive rehabilitation are instead imprisoned and increasingly experience negative stigma. Law enforcement is also often inconsistent because the authorities have difficulty distinguishing users from dealers due to the unclear definition of narcotics in the regulations and criminal law politics regarding the formulation of sanctions for the use of narcotics in Law Number 35 of 2009 concerning Narcotics is directed at creating a balance between firm legal action to overcome narcotics abuse and providing rehabilitation opportunities for addicts in order to reduce the number of circulation, reduce negative impacts and save the younger generation from the dangers of narcotics more effectively and holistically.

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to analyze the forms of liability that can be imposed on a Notary if the contents of a deed they draft are proven to be inconsistent with the actual facts. A Notary's authority to draft authentic deeds is always accompanied by inherent legal liability, even after the Notary retires, as stipulated in Law Number 2 of 2014. In practice, errors in drafting deeds can occur either intentionally or through negligence, ultimately potentially causing losses to the parties. This situation raises questions about the extent of a Notary's liability for such errors. This study uses a normative juridical method with a statute approach. The results indicate that a Notary can be held accountable if proven to have committed an error that causes losses, whether due to negligence or intent, including general, civil, administrative, and criminal liability. If a Notary intentionally drafts, cooperates in the drafting of, or signs a forged deed, the Notary may be subject to criminal sanctions for their involvement in the act of forgery.
