Abstract

This study critically examines the dialectics, legality, and urgency of criminal punishment within the context of Indonesian criminal law. Using a normative juridical approach and qualitative analysis method, the research explores the development of criminal law thought in Indonesia, highlighting the limitations of the principle of legality in its application, and evaluating the urgency of using punishment as a means of social reform. The findings reveal that the development of criminal law in Indonesia demonstrates a dialectical relationship between morality, justice, and formal legality. The legalistic approach emphasizes legal certainty and strict interpretation of the rules, while the contextual approach prioritizes substantive justice by taking into account social and humanitarian factors. The principle of legality remains a fundamental tenet that protects individuals from abuse of power by requiring criminal laws to be clear, firm, and non-retroactive, serving as the foundation for the protection of human rights and the rule of law. However, the dynamics of modern crime and technological advancement often cause legal regulations to lag behind, posing challenges in law enforcement and creating potential ambiguity in application. In this context, the urgency of criminal punishment lies not only in the imposition of sanctions as retribution but also as an effort toward prevention and rehabilitation to maintain order, provide a deterrent effect, and protect society. Therefore, a balance is needed between legal certainty and flexibility in the application of criminal law to effectively and fairly respond to social changes. This includes more humane law enforcement, the strengthening of customary law, and education and training for law enforcement officers to carry out their duties inclusively and adaptively in a complex and pluralistic society.

Abstract

Corporations as legal entities play a significant role in social, economic, and political dynamics. Alongside the increasing incidence of corporate crimes, the recognition of corporations as subjects of criminal law has become crucial. This study examines corporations as subjects of criminal law through a comparative analysis of Indonesia, the United States, and the Netherlands. The primary focus is on the differences in the concept of corporate criminal liability and the legal models applied. The research employs a normative juridical approach with a comparative study method. The findings reveal fundamental differences in the application of corporate criminal liability across the three countries, particularly regarding principles and forms of liability. The United States implements a more stringent principle of vicarious liability, the Netherlands has specific provisions in its Criminal Code (Wetboek van Strafrecht) that comprehensively accommodate corporate liability, whereas Indonesia still adopts a sectoral approach and lacks an integrated system. This study is expected to contribute to the strengthening of corporate criminal law policy in Indonesia.

Abstract

This study aims to: (1) analyze the factors that contribute to the occurrence of premarital sexual behavior among adolescents in Kota Agung Village, Seluma Timur Subdistrict, Seluma Regency, Bengkulu Province; (2) examine the impacts of such behavior on adolescent girls in the same region; and (3) map out the preventive efforts undertaken by parents and the local community to mitigate and prevent the recurrence of such behavior in the village. This research adopts a qualitative case study approach. Data collection techniques include interviews, observations, and document analysis. Informants were selected through purposive sampling, and the data were analyzed descriptively using the interactive model developed by Miles and Huberman. The findings reveal that: (1) the primary factors contributing to premarital sexual behavior among adolescents in Kota Agung Village are addiction to pornographic films, weak parental supervision, negative peer influence, high curiosity, and limited understanding of cultural and religious norms; (2) the consequences of such behavior include early marriage, economic instability, psychological distress, disruption of family harmony, domestic violence, and a rise in child stunting cases; and (3) efforts to address the issue have focused on intensive communication between parents and their children, as well as community-led awareness programs and discussion forums. In conclusion, the phenomenon of premarital sex among adolescents in Kota Agung Village is largely driven by exposure to pornographic content and insufficient parental control. The dominant consequence is unplanned pregnancy outside of marriage. Meanwhile, preventive efforts mainly involve socialization activities and open discussions on the dangers of premarital sex and juvenile delinquency. Therefore, the active roles of parents, village authorities, educators, healthcare workers, and the wider community are crucial in promoting early education about the risks of promiscuous behavior and its potential consequences for the future of the youth involved.

Abstract

Work related to humans, including aspects of the economy and fundamental human rights, is essential. Every individual, regardless of gender, has equal rights in the workforce. In the modern era, women are involved in forced labor, although they still face various challenges. In normative terms, protecting women's rights as workers in Indonesia is regulated by Law Number 13 of 2003 concerning Employment, alongside several other regulations and international conventions such as the ILO and CEDAW. However, there are several gaps in the framework, such as provisions that do not fully protect female workers and a lack of effective implementation of the conventions that have been ratified, which often merely reiterate the norms of the international convention. On the other hand, Germany has also ratified the convention and has more specific regulations for protecting women's rights. By comparing the laws of Indonesia and Germany, this research aims to provide recommendations for improvements and refinements in employment regulations in Indonesia. The research method employed is a normative legal study with a statutory, conceptual, and comparative approach. Based on the results of this study, it can be concluded that the regulations for protecting female workers in Indonesia and Germany have similarities and differences. In Indonesia, the protection of women is primarily outlined in the Employment Act, while in Germany, each protection category is more distinctly defined in the Constitution. Although both jurisdictions address matters such as maternity, protection from discrimination, and wage equality for equivalent work, there is a difference in the level of detail in their arrangements.

Abstract

The development of digital technology has increased the threat of cybercrime, including revenge porn, which has a broad impact on victims, psychologically, socially and economically. Although Indonesia already has regulations such as the ITE Law and the Pornography Law, these regulations have not been fully effective in ensnaring perpetrators and providing maximum protection for victims. Meanwhile, other countries such as the United Kingdom and the United States have more specific regulations in dealing with revenge porn. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of law enforcement against revenge porn in Indonesia and provide recommendations for improving regulations to increase victim protection. The method used is normative legal research with a statutory and comparative approach, which involves analyzing national and international regulations, as well as reviewing court decisions and reports from various institutions. The results show that Indonesian regulations still have gaps in dealing with revenge porn, especially in the aspects of victim protection, content removal mechanisms, and sanctions for perpetrators and digital platforms. Therefore, more progressive legal reforms are needed, including the implementation of the right to be forgotten, increasing sanctions for perpetrators.

Abstract

Dalam negara hukum yang demokratis seperti Indonesia, hukum acara pidana memegang peranan penting sebagai instrumen penegakan keadilan dan perlindungan hak asasi, namun dalam praktiknya khususnya pada kasus korupsi sektor perbankan yang ditangani KPK sering kali muncul tantangan serius terkait jaminan perlindungan hak-hak tersangka akibat kekuatan kewenangan KPK yang besar dan potensi penyimpangan dari prinsip due process of law. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis penerapan hukum acara pidana oleh KPK dalam menangani kasus-kasus perbankan serta mengevaluasi sejauh mana hukum acara pidana mampu memberikan perlindungan terhadap hak-hak tersangka dalam proses tersebut. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode hukum normatif dengan pendekatan perundang-undangan, konseptual, dan kasus, yang dianalisis secara kualitatif untuk menelaah kesesuaian antara norma hukum acara pidana dengan praktik penegakan hukum oleh KPK dalam kasus perbankan, serta menilai sejauh mana hak-hak tersangka dilindungi dalam proses tersebut. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa meskipun penerapan hukum acara pidana oleh KPK dalam menangani kasus perbankan efektif dalam pemberantasan korupsi, masih terdapat masalah serius terkait perlindungan hak-hak tersangka, terutama dalam hal penyidikan, penahanan, dan eksposur media. Meskipun hukum acara pidana Indonesia secara normatif telah menjamin hak-hak dasar tersangka, praktiknya masih menghadapi tantangan implementasi, seperti pelanggaran prosedural dalam penanganan kasus perbankan yang kompleks. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan harmonisasi antara kewenangan KPK dan ketentuan KUHAP, penguatan regulasi, serta peningkatan profesionalisme aparat penegak hukum untuk memastikan proses hukum yang adil dan melindungi hak-hak tersangka secara efektif.

Abstract

The restorative approach to the recovery of losses caused by criminal acts of corruption offers alternatives that focus on restoring relationships and losses compared to retributive approaches that only emphasize punishment. This study uses a normative juridical method with the law approach to analyze the basic principles of restorative approaches, recovery mechanisms, benefits, challenges, and implementation in Indonesia. The restorative approach is based on the principle of restoring losses, active participation of all parties, and reintegration of the perpetrators. The results of the discussion show that the restorative approach has the potential to increase justice and improve social relations, although there are still significant challenges. The application of this approach in Indonesia requires stronger legal and community support. This study concluded that the restorative approach can improve the law enforcement system with a greater focus on recovery and reintegration. Suggestions for further development include legal reform and increasing community participation to optimize the recovery of losses due to criminal acts of corruption, so that further legal reform is carried out to support restorative mechanisms and increase community participation.

Abstract

This study examines law enforcement mechanisms against the illegal distribution of drug solvents without medical prescription under Law No. 17 of 2023 concerning Health, analyzing the legal framework, enforcement challenges, and policy implications through Decision No. 302/Pid.Sus/2023/PN Cjr. The proliferation of illegal drug sales without medical prescription remains a persistent challenge in Indonesia, driven by factors including public demand for convenient access, cost considerations, and systemic weaknesses in pharmaceutical oversight, creating a critical gap between regulatory provisions and effective law enforcement implementation. Employing a normative legal research approach, this study analyzes positive law provisions, particularly Law No. 17 of 2023 concerning Health and relevant criminal law provisions, to evaluate the legal basis and enforcement mechanisms against unauthorized pharmaceutical distribution. Article 435 of Law No. 17 of 2023 provides a robust legal foundation for prosecuting both individual perpetrators and corporate entities involved in producing or distributing drug solvents without compliance with regulatory requirements. This study finds that Decision No. 302/Pid.Sus/2023/PN Cjr demonstrates the application of the ne bis in idem principle, ensuring defendants are not tried twice for the same criminal act. However, the case reveals significant structural weaknesses in the pharmaceutical regulatory and supervisory systems that continue to undermine effective enforcement. While law enforcement efforts against unauthorized drug distribution have commenced, current mechanisms remain insufficient without comprehensive systemic reform. The judiciary has correctly applied fundamental criminal law principles, yet enforcement success depends on strengthening digital oversight systems, harmonizing cross-sector regulations, and enhancing law enforcement capacity and digital forensics capabilities. This study contributes to legal scholarship by demonstrating the need for an integrated approach combining criminal prosecution, regulatory reform, and institutional capacity building, recommending that policymakers and law enforcement agencies prioritize modernizing pharmaceutical surveillance through digital systems, harmonizing regulations across relevant agencies, and developing specialized law enforcement units equipped with advanced forensic capabilities to effectively combat pharmaceutical crimes.

Abstract

The contemporary global economic landscape, corporate corruption remains an endemic challenge that transcends jurisdictions, distorting markets, undermining public trust, and violating fundamental principles of fair competition. Traditional responses to corporate misconduct have predominantly relied on strict legal compliance systems. However, major corporate scandals continually reveal the inadequacy of merely adhering to the letter of the law. This report explores the paradigm of "Beyond Compliance," critically analyzing how business law literacy (legal astuteness) among entrepreneurs acts as a powerful inhibitor of corporate corruption. The study employs a normative legal research methodology, utilizing statutory and conceptual approaches to dissect the evolution of corporate criminal liability in Indonesia, particularly under Supreme Court Regulation (PERMA) No. 13 of 2016 and Law No. 1 of 2023. The results indicate that transitioning from a compliance-based strategy to an integrity-based strategy is essential for modern enterprises. Furthermore, the report conceptualizes how integrity-based ethics, when intersected with the philosophical and spiritual doctrines of Islamic Law (Fiqh Muamalah and Akhlak Bisnis), elevates corporate governance from mere legal obligation to ultimate moral accountability. When integrity is philosophically grounded in the Islamic principles of Amanah (trust), 'Adl (justice), Ihsan (excellence), and Taqwa (spiritual consciousness), compliance operates as a profound spiritual responsibility to Allah SWT. Ultimately, the synthesis of advanced business law literacy and spiritually grounded ethical integrity provides the most resilient defense against corporate malfeasance.
