Abstract

The national criminal justice system has undergone a normative shift from a retributive approach toward justice oriented to the recovery of victims’ rights through restitution and compensation. This normative development raises an issue of horizontal synchronization between Law Number 20 of 2025, as the general criminal procedure law that regulates the right to compensation conditionally where the offender is unable to fulfill restitution, and Law Number 3 of 2026, as a special law that limits compensation to certain categories of victims. This study aims to analyze that paradigm shift, evaluate the regulatory disharmony between the two laws, and formulate a prescriptive basis for state involvement in the recovery of victims’ rights. This study applies normative legal research using statute, historical, and conceptual approaches. The findings show that the limitation of compensation under the special law may create differentiated legal protection for crime victims outside those special categories where the offender is unable to fulfill restitution. Therefore, the obligation of investigators, public prosecutors, and judges to notify and facilitate the rights to restitution and compensation should be understood as an active state mandate to guarantee victims’ access to recovery. This study recommends harmonizing Law Number 3 of 2026 with Law Number 20 of 2025 and enacting a Government Regulation on the transparent and accountable governance of the endowment fund.

Abstract

The freedom of Instagram influencers within the structure of platform capitalism represents a structural contradiction that can be examined as voluntary servitude. This study aims to synthesize Erich Fromm’s critical psychology and Christian Fuchs’s political economy of digital media to explain how structural unfreedom is accepted as a form of autonomy by digital actors. This study uses a qualitative method with a literature research design through a conceptual-critical approach, without direct empirical testing of influencer subjects. The synthesis constructs a theoretical abstraction called the Dialectical Model of Freedom in Digital Capitalism. This model holds that the subject’s release from traditional authority yields negative freedom, but not necessarily positive freedom. In the context of achievement society, the post-emergence situation from primary bonds may encourage psychological escape through automaton conformity, which forms the pseudo self. This psychic submission is then converted by platform capitalism into a prosumer commodity through the mechanism of playbour. Aspirational labor, visibility labor, precarious employment, digital Taylorism, visibility game, and shadowbans show that creative autonomy is conditioned by the interests of visibility and value extraction. This study concludes that voluntary servitude should be understood as an analytical category for explaining subjective acceptance of digital exploitation structures. Its implications require digital communication studies to strengthen critical digital literacy, protect digital workers, improve transparency in algorithmic governance, and democratize platform infrastructure.

Abstract

Gender mainstreaming in regional development requires institutionalization that connects role distribution, implementer capacity, and instrument use within planning and budgeting processes. This study analyzes the institutionalization of gender mainstreaming in East Kalimantan Province through institutional coordination, implementer capacity, and the use of gender-responsive planning and budgeting instruments. This field study employed a qualitative descriptive approach and was conducted from February to June 2026. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with purposively selected informants, observations, and document review. The analysis involved thematic grouping and cross-checking across data sources and data collection methods. The findings show that implementation structures and coordination activities have been established, but operational responsibilities remain dominated by the East Kalimantan Provincial Office of Women’s Empowerment and Child Protection. Capacity development has been implemented, while gender analysis skills and the ability to prepare Gender Budget Statements remain unevenly distributed. The implementation of gender-responsive planning and budgeting instruments has established an administrative sequence involving Klik SiGen, gender-responsive budget compilation, and reporting. Integration of these instruments with program and budget decisions remains inconsistent. These three elements produce an empirical pattern of institutionalization dominated by the Office of Women’s Empowerment and Child Protection as the driving organization. This pattern results from mutually reinforcing relationships among uneven role distribution, uneven capacity distribution, and dependence on assistance in instrument use.

Abstract

Local swear words in student interactions serve social functions that extend beyond expressions of anger or verbal attacks. Their functions are shaped by the situation of use, relationships between speakers, the purpose of the utterance, and responses that emerge during interaction. This study examines the forms, contexts, social functions, and limits of resemanticization of local swear words in interactions among senior and vocational high school students in Makassar City. The study employed a descriptive qualitative approach with a case study strategy. Twelve schools were selected through systematic random sampling, while 12 informants were purposively selected. Primary data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and digital observation and were analyzed by coding elements of speech events and comparing findings across sources. The findings show that swear words function as expressions of emotion and affect, markers of solidarity and social identity, and means of conveying complaints containing elements of resistance to authority. Their use also reveals normative ambivalence because swear words may be accepted among peers but restricted within families and schools. Resemanticization occurs when a change in pragmatic function is accompanied by a change in social meaning without eliminating offensive lexical meaning. These findings demonstrate that swearing is a contextual linguistic practice that reflects students’ ability to adjust their language choices to social relationships and interactional situations.
