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.

Abstract

his research is motivated by the rampant phenomenon of catcalling in Indonesia which is a form of verbal sexual harassment but is often considered as common by the community. Although Indonesia already has a legal umbrella through Article 281 paragraph (2) of the Criminal Code and Article 5 of Law No. 12 of 2022 concerning the Crime of Sexual Violence (TPKS Law), data shows that there is still a high dark number of crimes where 89.5% of victims choose not to report due to distrust of the authorities and the assumption that the incident is a personal matter. The purpose of this study is to analyze the victim's view on the regulation and protection of catcalling victims in Indonesia and to evaluate the effectiveness of criminalizing the perpetrators. Using empirical legal research methods through conceptual and legislative approaches, this study collects primary data through surveys and secondary data through literature studies. The results of the study show that the victimology perspective highlights the failure of the legal system in providing adequate protection; The Criminal Code is considered too offender-centered, while the TPKS Law, which is thick with feminist jurisprudence nuances, has weaknesses in the aspect of due process of law due to the ease of proof which is considered less rational in the adjudication process. This research contribution provides an understanding of the urgency of improving legal policies that are balanced between the protection of victims' rights and the principle of legal justice.

Abstract

Prosecutorial discretion in corruption case selection is often explained through linear causal models that emphasize single determinants such as evidentiary strength, institutional pressure, or case severity; however, such approaches are limited in capturing the configurational complexity of decision-making within prosecutorial institutions. This study aims to identify configurational pathways that lead to high prosecutorial priority in corruption case handling using fuzzy-set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fsQCA). The study applies a configurational research design based on fsQCA, analyzing six causal conditions consisting of financial loss, actor complexity, public attention, evidence strength, institutional pressure, and asset recovery potential. Data are calibrated into fuzzy-set membership scores (0–1) using a direct calibration approach, followed by truth table construction, necessity analysis, sufficiency analysis, and Boolean minimization using intermediate solutions. The findings reveal three distinct causal pathways leading to high prosecutorial priority: institutionally reinforced legal rationality characterized by high financial loss, strong evidence, and high institutional pressure; visibility-driven prioritization combining actor complexity and public attention with moderate evidentiary strength; and technocratic fiscal rationality driven by high financial loss, high asset recovery potential, and low institutional pressure. No single condition is found to be necessary, confirming equifinality and causal asymmetry. Prosecutorial prioritization in corruption cases is therefore best understood as a configurational phenomenon shaped by multiple interacting rationalities rather than single causal factors, introducing the concept of configurational prosecutorial rationality within criminal justice decision-making.

Abstract

This study aims to develop a substantive theory explaining the construction of prosecutorial discretion in the termination of prosecution under restorative justice in Indonesia. Although restorative justice has increasingly been incorporated into contemporary criminal justice systems, the mechanisms through which prosecutors construct and legitimize decisions to discontinue prosecution remain insufficiently understood. Using a grounded theory approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews, document analysis, and theoretical sampling. Data analysis was conducted through iterative stages of initial coding, focused coding, and theoretical coding until theoretical saturation was achieved. The findings reveal that prosecutorial discretion does not operate as a linear administrative procedure but rather as a dynamic and recursive multi-rationality causal system. The study develops a theoretical model termed the Structured Tension–Based Restorative Rationality Mechanism (ST-RRM) , which explains that prosecutorial decisions emerge through the interaction of legal thresholds, restorative validation, relational legitimacy, institutional constraints, and prosecutorial professional identity. The findings indicate that restorative rationality becomes the dominant decision-making logic when three key conditions are simultaneously satisfied: legal eligibility, socially validated victim restoration, and relational legitimacy. Nevertheless, the decision-making process remains embedded within structural constraints, allowing outcomes to be continuously reassessed through institutional and social feedback mechanisms. This study contributes to the literature on prosecutorial discretion by introducing a multi-rationality structured tension theory , conceptualizing discretion as a socio-institutional construction process that integrates legal certainty, victim restoration, and social legitimacy within an adaptive decision-making system.

Abstract

Digital transformation has significantly increased the use of electronic evidence as a primary source of proof in criminal proceedings. Although previous studies have extensively examined the legal admissibility and technical reliability of electronic evidence, limited attention has been given to how prosecutors construct legal reasoning when evaluating digital evidence in prosecutorial practice. This study aims to explore prosecutors' lived experiences in developing legal confidence toward electronic evidence and to propose the conceptual framework of Prosecutorial Digital Reasoning . The research adopts an interpretivist paradigm using a qualitative design based on Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) . Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, document analysis, and non-participant observation involving prosecutors with substantial experience in handling criminal cases involving electronic evidence. Data analysis followed the IPA procedures of initial noting, emergent theme development, cross-case analysis, and conceptual synthesis using NVivo Release 14. The findings indicate that prosecutorial reasoning develops through an interpretative process integrating technological understanding, forensic validation, professional experience, collaboration with digital forensic experts, and strategic legal reconstruction. These findings provide the foundation for the proposed Prosecutorial Digital Reasoning framework, which conceptualizes the evaluation of electronic evidence as a dynamic and recursive cognitive-interpretative process. The study contributes to the literature on electronic evidence by extending existing normative and technical perspectives toward the cognitive dimension of prosecutorial decision-making. Practically, the proposed framework offers implications for strengthening prosecutorial competence, developing standardized electronic evidence evaluation guidelines, and enhancing institutional capacity to address the challenges of digital transformation within contemporary criminal justice systems.

Abstract

The rapid growth of cybercrime in Indonesia has significantly transformed prosecutorial narratives in criminal justice proceedings. This study aims to examine the evolution of prosecutors' narratives in cybercrime cases using a Natural Language Processing (NLP)-based text mining approach. A qualitative-computational research design was employed by analyzing cybercrime court decisions published in the Supreme Court of the Republic of Indonesia Decision Directory from 2009 to 2025. The analytical framework consisted of document collection, text extraction, preprocessing, descriptive corpus analysis, Term Frequency–Inverse Document Frequency (TF-IDF) weighting, Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) topic modeling, temporal topic evolution analysis, and co-occurrence network analysis to identify relationships among legal concepts. The findings reveal a substantial transformation in prosecutorial narratives from conventional evidence-oriented arguments toward more sophisticated reasoning emphasizing electronic evidence, digital forensics, digital evidence governance, personal data protection, and inter-agency collaboration in cybercrime prosecution. Temporal analysis demonstrates the emergence of new legal themes corresponding to regulatory developments and the increasing complexity of cybercrime. Furthermore, the co-occurrence network identifies electronic evidence, cybersecurity, and criminal liability as the central concepts shaping prosecutorial arguments. This study contributes methodologically by integrating text mining techniques into legal research and provides empirical evidence to support the development of more adaptive prosecution policies in addressing cybercrime in Indonesia.
