Abstract

This study examines the efforts of the West Papua Regional Police in addressing illegal mining crimes in Manokwari Regency, a region rich in mineral resources yet vulnerable to environmental degradation and social conflict. Illegal mining persists due to economic pressures, weak governance, difficult geographical access, and limited enforcement capacity. Using a normative juridical approach supported by statutory, conceptual, and case analyses, this research identifies that illegal mining has caused severe ecological damage particularly river pollution and forest destruction—while generating social tensions related to indigenous land rights and depriving the local government of potential revenue. The West Papua Regional Police implement both penal and non-penal strategies grounded in the Mineral and Coal Mining Law and the National Police Law. Penal measures include investigation, prosecution, confiscation of mining equipment, and disruption of illegal logistics chains. Non-penal efforts involve preventive education, community outreach, and coordination with local stakeholders. However, enforcement remains constrained by socio-economic dependence on mining and resistance from customary communities. The study concludes that sustainable mitigation requires integrated law enforcement combined with government-supported economic empowerment programs to reduce community reliance on illegal mining.

Abstract

The policy in handling street children is a required aspect of the state's duty to guarantee rights for children, as mandated by the rule of law and good governance standards. The researcher has as it's target measured the difference between ideal principles under the rule of law metrics such as certainty constructions, fairness equations, equitable distribution of social costs (which benefits more people than capitalism gives in general) and protection for children who are not old enough to protect themselves and the specific policies that emerge in Indonesia's traditional manner of dealing with street kids. This study also examines how public policy governance can be strengthened to be more aligned with the principles of accountability, transparency, effectiveness, institutional coordination, and responsiveness. Based on a study of various bureaucratic policies and practices at the central and regional levels, it was found that there was a discrepancy between the values ??that should be the basis for policy formulation and the conditions of practice in the field. The gap can be seen in the weak database, limited basic service facilities, lack of coordination across institutions, and policy orientation that tends to be reactive and unsustainable. This study recommends strengthening public policy governance through institutional integration, more consistent planning, more accurate data utilization, and the application of an approach centered on the fulfillment of children's rights to ensure policy conformity with the principles of the rule of law and good governance.

Abstract

Forest and grassland fires in East Sumba Regency have continued to increase to catastrophic levels. From the beginning to the middle of 2025 alone, there have been more than five cases of savanna fires in several different villages. To date, there has been no court ruling or action by the local government in East Sumba Regency to impose sanctions on those responsible for burning savanna grasslands. This study employs a normative-empirical legal method. The approaches used in this study include the statute approach to analyse relevant legal provisions and the socio-legal approach to assess the application of these provisions in practice through interviews and observations. Savanna fires in Sumba are prohibited by environmental law, but due to weak enforcement, the justification of local wisdom, and the difficulty of proving guilt, almost all cases end without sanctions, even though thousands of hectares of savanna are burned each year, causing harm to the community. Local governments are required to establish technical regulations for savannas due to their unique and vulnerable nature, whether in the form of district regulations or village regulations. The best approach is a combination of education, regulation, conservation, and law enforcement
