Abstract

Corruption is a criminal offense that significantly affects state stability and public trust in Indonesia’s legal system. In the process of proving corruption cases, public prosecutors play an important role in preparing indictments, presenting evidence, and constructing legal arguments in court proceedings. This study aims to analyze the role of public prosecutors in proving corruption crimes, identify obstacles in the evidentiary process, and examine the effectiveness of prosecution strategies used in court. This research employed a qualitative method with an empirical juridical (*socio-legal research*) approach. The research sample consisted of 10 informants, including 5 public prosecutors, 2 corruption court judges, 2 criminal law academics, and 1 advocate. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, literature studies, and documentation studies. The findings indicate that the success of proving corruption cases is strongly influenced by the prosecutors’ ability to connect evidence with the elements of the alleged criminal offense. In addition, electronic evidence and the development of digital-based corruption practices have become new challenges in the evidentiary process. This study is expected to provide theoretical and practical contributions to improving the effectiveness of corruption crime prosecution in Indonesia.

Abstract

The development of information technology has increased digital-based crimes in Indonesia, including online fraud, data theft, and misuse of electronic transactions. This condition requires prosecutors to possess professionalism that is adaptive to technological developments and electronic evidence systems. This study aims to analyze prosecutors’ professionalism in handling digital-based criminal cases, identify the obstacles faced, and examine efforts to improve the quality of law enforcement officers in the digital era. This research uses an empirical legal research method with a socio-legal approach and applies a descriptive qualitative design. Data were collected through interviews, documentation, and literature studies involving 12 informants consisting of 6 prosecutors, 3 criminal law academics, and 3 information technology practitioners. The results show that prosecutors’ professionalism significantly influences the effectiveness of evidence examination and prosecution in digital criminal cases. The study also found several obstacles, including limited technical capabilities, rapid cybercrime development, and lack of optimal coordination among law enforcement institutions. This research is expected to contribute to the development of digital criminal law studies and the improvement of prosecutors’ professionalism in Indonesia.

Abstract

The increasing complexity of contemporary security threats has led governments worldwide to adopt emergency governance mechanisms that expand executive authority in the name of national security. While such measures are often justified as necessary responses to terrorism, public health crises, cybersecurity threats, and geopolitical instability, they also raise concerns regarding constitutional limits, democratic accountability, and the preservation of the rule of law. This study examines how national security narratives function as instruments of political legitimation that facilitate the expansion of executive power during periods of emergency governance. The research employs a doctrinal legal research approach combined with political analysis to investigate the interaction between legal frameworks governing emergency powers and political processes that shape public acceptance of extraordinary governmental authority. The analysis draws upon constitutional provisions, emergency legislation, judicial decisions, policy documents, and scholarly literature concerning national security, executive authority, and democratic governance. The findings demonstrate that the expansion of executive power is not solely a legal consequence of emergency conditions but is significantly influenced by the political legitimation generated through security narratives. The study develops the  Security–Legitimation–Executive Expansion (SLEE)  framework, which explains how the construction of security threats produces political legitimacy that enables the concentration of executive authority and reshapes institutional power relations. The findings further reveal that the risks associated with emergency governance emerge primarily when extraordinary powers are exercised without effective legislative oversight, judicial review, transparency, and temporal limitations. The study contributes to the literature on emergency governance, constitutionalism, and national security by highlighting political legitimation as a critical mechanism linking security narratives to executive power expansion. It also provides policy implications for designing emergency governance systems capable of balancing effective security responses with democratic accountability and constitutional safeguards.

Abstract

The increasing adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in public administration has transformed government operations by improving efficiency, service delivery, and data-driven decision-making. However, the growing reliance on AI systems also raises concerns regarding accountability, transparency, and legal risks associated with automated administrative decisions. This study aims to examine the relationship between AI implementation, smart governance, bureaucratic accountability, and legal risk within public administration systems. A mixed-method policy evaluation approach with a sequential explanatory design was employed. Quantitative data were collected from 224 respondents representing government officials, information technology officers, legal experts, and academics involved in digital governance initiatives. The quantitative analysis was conducted using Partial Least Squares–Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM), while qualitative findings were analyzed through thematic analysis to provide contextual interpretation. The results indicate that AI implementation significantly enhances smart governance (β = 0.782, p < 0.001), which subsequently strengthens bureaucratic accountability (β = 0.827, p < 0.001). Furthermore, bureaucratic accountability significantly reduces legal risk (β = −0.641, p < 0.001). Mediation analysis reveals that the benefits of AI implementation in reducing legal risk are indirectly achieved through improvements in governance quality and accountability mechanisms. The study proposes the Smart governance–Accountability–Legal Risk (SGALR) Framework as an integrative model that links digital governance, public accountability, and AI-related legal risk. The findings highlight the importance of responsible AI governance, algorithmic transparency, regulatory compliance, and institutional oversight in ensuring the sustainable and accountable adoption of AI in public administration. This study contributes to the emerging literature on AI governance and provides practical policy recommendations for governments seeking to balance innovation with accountability and legal certainty.

Abstract

The transformation of political communication in the digital democratic era has reshaped how governments build legitimacy and maintain public trust in state institutions. Although the literature on legal populism and institutional trust has expanded considerably, limited attention has been paid to how political communication mediates the relationship between law, legitimacy, and public trust. This study examines the role of political communication in constructing institutional legitimacy through legal populism within the context of contemporary Indonesian governance. Employing a qualitative approach, the study utilizes political discourse analysis of 245 documents, including presidential speeches, government press releases, ministerial statements, strategic policy documents, official government social media content, and national media coverage published between 2019 and 2025. Data were analyzed using NVivo 14 through thematic coding and inter-narrative relationship analysis. The findings reveal that governmental political communication is structured around four interconnected dimensions: the construction of the people as the primary source of legitimacy, legal legitimacy as a mechanism for policy justification, national interest narratives as a developmental framework, and the representation of state institutions as guardians of public interests. The interaction of these dimensions contributes to the formation of public trust, which subsequently reinforces institutional legitimacy and governance stability. This study develops the concept of **Communicative Legal Populism**, defined as a political legitimation mechanism that integrates law, political communication, national interests, and popular representation in the construction of public trust. The findings extend the literature on legal populism and institutional trust by demonstrating that political communication functions as a critical mediator between law and state legitimacy in contemporary democracies.
