Abstract

This study emphasizes the importance of applying the child's best interest principle within the juvenile criminal justice system, a core concept recognized both internationally and nationally. This principle views children as legal entities entitled to protection, focusing on guidance, rehabilitation, and their prospects. Although Indonesia has incorporated this principle into many regulations, especially Law No. 11 of 2012 concerning the Juvenile Criminal Justice System, there remains a gap between legislative provisions and practical enforcement. This is evident in the continued use of a repressive approach in juvenile court rulings, such as at Lamongan District Court in 2025. This study employs a normative legal research method, using both a statutory approach and a case study approach. The data includes primary legal sources like legislation and six juvenile case rulings from Lamongan District Court in 2025. Secondary sources, such as scholarly books and journals, are also used. The analysis follows a descriptive-qualitative method to evaluate how closely judicial practices follow the legal principles of the child's best interests. The findings reveal that the application of the child's best interest principle in these rulings has been inconsistent and suboptimal. Despite efforts to combine criminal sanctions with vocational training, rulings mostly remain repressive. Diversion processes have not been fully implemented, even when cases meet the criteria. Moreover, the recommendations from the Correctional Institution's reports have not been fully integrated into decision-making. This indicates that a restorative approach is still weakly practiced, and there is a gap between legal norms and judicial procedures. Therefore, it is essential to strengthen institutions, enhance the capacity of law enforcement officers, and promote a shift towards a more rehabilitative, child-centred approach.

Abstract

This study employs a Qualitative Document Analysis (QDA) method to evaluate Indonesia’s repatriation framework. Data were purposively selected from three primary sources: (1) Statutory documents, including Presidential Decree No. 7/2021 (RAN PE) and Law No. 5/2018; (2) Official institutional reports from Densus 88 AT and BNPT regarding FTF management; and (3) Secondary academic literature from 2019–2024 to ensure contemporary relevance. The analysis followed a thematic approach: documents were first coded to identify the operational mandates of Densus 88, then triangulated against the pillars of RAN PE to identify implementation gaps. Finally, findings were derived through deductive reasoning, mapping these legal mandates against the practical challenges of reintegration in the field. The findings indicate that while Densus 88 plays a crucial role in early detection and neutralizing immediate tactical threats, the implementation of RAN PE faces hurdles in inter-agency coordination and the balance between security-centric measures and humanistic reintegration. The research highlights the necessity of a "unity of effort" between Densus 88 and social-sector stakeholders to prevent recidivism. Ultimately, this study concludes that the effectiveness of handling returning FTFs depends on the seamless integration of Densus 88’s specialized intelligence into the broader socio-ideological rehabilitation programs mandated by the RAN PE, ensuring that returnees are neutralized ideologically as well as tactically.

Abstract

Public trust constitutes the primary foundation of the legitimacy of police institutions in democratic states. In Indonesia, a series of cases involving personal misconduct by members of the Indonesian National Police (Polri) throughout 2025, including serious criminal offenses and incidents that generated negative public opinion, indicate that institutional delegitimization is more frequently driven by the behavior of law enforcement personnel than by weaknesses in formal regulatory frameworks. This article aims to analyze the impact of personal misconduct on the legitimacy of the Polri institution and to propose a human-centered policing approach as a strategy for preventing misconduct and restoring legitimacy. The research employs a normative juridical method with conceptual and sociological approaches. Data were collected through a targeted review of statutory regulations, academic literature, and police policy documents, particularly internal oversight and public complaint data, and were evaluated using thematic analysis. Consequently, the conceptual and policy analysis indicates that police legitimacy depends not only on formal legal authority but, more importantly, on moral integrity, ethical compliance, and public trust. The human-centered policing approach positions police personnel as human subjects with psychological, social, and moral complexities, thereby emphasizing personnel development, early detection mechanisms, and welfare support as proactive strategies to prevent personal misconduct. When implemented consistently, this approach not only strengthens internal legitimacy and institutional integrity but also builds a sustainable foundation of public trust, ultimately fostering a police institution that is professional, accountable, and democratic.

Abstract

This article examines how mediated visibility reconfigures police oversight and accountability in Indonesia by treating reality police shows as an empirical arena. This study uses a qualitative–analytical design integrating semi-structured interviews with key institutional actors (Indonesian National Police/POLRI, media practitioners, and broadcast regulators), observational analysis of televised police representations and the digital recirculation, and document analysis of relevant governance and communication frameworks. The findings show that formal oversight mechanisms within Polri and state-based supervisory arrangements tend to operate reactively and with temporal delay when faced with fast-moving, visually driven public scrutiny. In this gap, media platforms, through televised programs and fragmented online circulation, function as a dominant informal overseer that shapes public judgments through visibility management, framing, and affective resonance. These dynamics generate an asymmetrical layered accountability regime, in which symbolic accountability formed in the media arena frequently precedes and constrains the operation of formal accountability processes. The article further identifies a condition of dual accountability that produces a structural dilemma for the Public Relations Division of POLRI (Divhumas), which must uphold law-based procedural legitimacy while simultaneously responding to media-generated demands for symbolic legitimacy. Limited post-production evaluation, weak coordination across the production cycle, and crisis-oriented communication approaches shift meaning-making power toward media actors and audiences, increasing institutional vulnerability to representational distortion. The article contributes to Police Science by conceptualizing accountability as a cross-arena governance process and by outlining policy implications for strategic visibility management, preventive representational oversight, and early-warning monitoring of legitimacy risk under conditions of mediated policing.
