Abstract

This research discusses in-depth strategies for handling crimes of severe abuse that occur in the context of archery cases among the community by adopting a holistic perspective from criminology and criminal law. The aim is to analyze and compare these two different points of view, as well as explore the possibility of collaboration between them, resulting in a more practical approach to dealing with this problem. The method used in this research is library research, where data collection is carried out by reviewing various literature, books and reports that are relevant to the topic being discussed. The findings obtained indicate that integration between a criminological approach which focuses on aspects of prevention and rehabilitation with firm law enforcement from a criminal law perspective is critical to creating a comprehensive solution. Therefore, this study recommends the development of collaborative programs involving various stakeholders, including government, social institutions, and communities, to develop treatment strategies that are more effective in preventing severe abuse in society as a whole.

Abstract

The existence of restorative justice certainly brings a new paradigm in the settlement of criminal cases, by seeking to settle cases solely outside the court. The implementation of restorative justice-based termination of prosecution can be applied to the crime of theft as the highest number of cases in Indonesia. This is because economic stability was disrupted after the Covid-19 pandemic created a moral crisis with a drastic increase in theft crimes in Indonesia. Meanwhile, there has recently been the establishment of restorative justice houses in each jurisdiction of the prosecutor's office to optimize the resolution of all legal problems by filtering cases that go to court, dissemination of law to local residents, and being able to develop local wisdom by involving local traditional leaders to emphasize consensus deliberation. The research approach is to use a normative juridical method with reference to laws and regulations sourced from primary data and literature studies originating from criminal law literature in Indonesia, which is then processed into a specific conclusion. The results of the study show that humanist restorative justice houses are an alternative to solving cases of theft. the embodiment of restorative justice in a hybrid way within the prosecutor's office will be achieved as a humane law enforcement agency in Indonesian.

Abstract

This study discusses the application of criminal sanctions for narcotics crimes in Indonesia. It also aims to find solutions to legal problems by using juridical-normative research because it prioritizes the conception of LawLaw as a law in doctrine, which is entirely covered in a conceptual approach to research. Research results: First, the justification for applying sanctions against narcotics offenders is based on the theory of determinism and the values of Pancasila justice, according to mono-dualistic teachings in criminal law. Theoretically, the application of action sanctions is in line with several legal theories, including the Combined/Modern Criminal Theory (Verenings Theorien), the Restorative Justice Theory, and the Double Track System Theory. Second, the revision of the Narcotics Law must establish limits and requirements for the application of sanctions for actions related to the type of crime and the perpetrator of the crime. This is important to do when the law is changed in the future. Third, sanctions can be implemented in two ways: normative through the Brainwashin program, decriminalization programs, and health programs for women drug users, and social forms through the separation of corrections and the establishment of particular institutions for the implementation of action sanctions, which are under the jurisdiction of the Prosecutor's Office Agung and in the future there needs to be a special narcotics court.

Abstract

TThis study critically examines the legal framework governing Specific Time Work Agreements (Perjanjian Kerja Waktu Tertentu/PKWT) and the protection mechanisms afforded to foreign workers (Tenaga Kerja Asing/TKA) in Indonesia. As foreign direct investment continues to expand, particularly in strategic sectors such as construction, infrastructure, and information technology, the deployment of TKA has become increasingly prominent. However, the implementation of PKWT for foreign workers raises significant legal and human rights concerns, including ambiguity in contractual terms, unequal treatment, and insufficient safeguards for basic labor rights. Utilizing a normative juridical approach, this research analyzes existing statutes, legal doctrines, and regulatory practices to evaluate the extent of legal protections for TKA under PKWT arrangements. The findings reveal gaps between regulatory intent and implementation, underscoring the need for stronger institutional oversight, improved regulatory clarity, and enhanced legal literacy among both employers and foreign workers. The study concludes by emphasizing the importance of coordinated efforts between government authorities, private sector stakeholders, and legal institutions to establish a more equitable, transparent, and sustainable labor environment for foreign workers in Indonesia.

Abstract

This study analyzes the implementation of free lunch policies in three Asian countries: Japan, China, and India. The free lunch policy is necessary to improve child health, support educational participation, and reduce the economic burden on families. Through a comparative case study approach, this research evaluates the implementation, successes, and challenges of the policy in three countries. In Japan, the institutionalized free lunch program significantly reduced family expenditure and increased parental productivity, contributing to social welfare. China implemented the policy to reduce economic disparities in rural and urban areas, showing improvements in children's nutritional status and the financial well-being of low-income families. The research method used is by analyzing policy documents and reviewing the literature. The results show that the free lunch policy not only directly benefits children's health and Education but also significantly positively impacts the economy of families and communities. This finding confirms that the free lunch policy can improve the community's economic welfare. The study concludes the successful implementation of the free lunch policy in each country. The study concludes that the successful implementation of the free lunch policy largely depends on the amendment of the free lunch policy in each country, community involvement, and adequate supervision.

Abstract

The arbitration clause is a form of private agreement that binds the parties to resolve disputes outside the court, in accordance with the principle of freedom of contract. However, in bankruptcy cases, conflicts arise between the existence of arbitration clauses and the exclusive jurisdiction of the Commercial Court, considering that bankruptcy has a public law nature that concerns the interests of creditors in general. This research aims to analyse the legal position of arbitration clauses in bankruptcy cases and identify conflicts that arise between the two. The research method used is a normative legal approach by analysing laws and regulations, legal doctrines, and court decisions. The results showed that although the arbitration clause has a strong legal basis based on Article 1338 of the Civil Code and Law No. 30 Year 1999, the court still has exclusive jurisdiction to handle bankruptcy cases in accordance with Article 303 of Law No. 37 Year 2004. The Supreme Court decision also emphasised that arbitration clauses cannot limit the authority of the Commercial Court in determining the insolvency status of an entity. The Supreme Court confirmed that arbitration clauses do not prevent the Commercial Court from handling bankruptcy, as in Supreme Court Decisions No. 45 K/Pdt.Sus/2013 and No. 3415 K/Pdt/2021. Bankruptcy law as lex specialis has a higher position than arbitration, in accordance with the principle of lex specialis specialitet to ensure legal certainty. One recommendation is the revision of relevant laws and the issuance of special guidelines by the Supreme Court to clarify the relationship between arbitration and bankruptcy.
