<![CDATA[This research examines the application of Restorative Justice in the settlement of criminal acts of Domestic Violence (DV) in Indonesia using a normative legal approach. The focus of the research lies on analyzing laws and regulations related to the application of restorative justice in handling domestic violence cases. Restorative Justice is proposed as a more humane alternative to the dominant retributive justice system, with the aim of improving relationships between victims and perpetrators and providing space for healing. This research concludes that although the application of Restorative Justice faces significant challenges, such as social norms that discourage victims from reporting and the unpreparedness of law enforcement officials in applying the principles, this approach has the potential to offer a more effective solution in reducing domestic violence. Through an analysis of existing legal policies, this research provides recommendations to strengthen the implementation of Restorative Justice in Indonesia by involving more parties, including law enforcement officials, social institutions, and communities.]]>

<![CDATA[Children in conflict with the law constitute a vulnerable group that requires special legal treatment to safeguard their rights and mitigate the adverse effects of criminal proceedings on their physical, psychological, and social development. In Indonesia, this protection is primarily governed by Law Number 11 of 2012 on the Juvenile Criminal Justice System, which prioritizes restorative justice and diversion as the main approaches for resolving juvenile cases. This study examines the regulatory framework, implementation, and effectiveness of legal protection for children in conflict with the law, with particular attention to the application of restorative justice and diversion and the fulfillment of children’s rights at each stage of the criminal justice process. The research employs a normative juridical approach, supported by empirical case data from the West Java High Prosecutor’s Office covering 2022–2024 (n = 788), with cases predominantly involving boys. The findings indicate that although the existing legal framework provides relatively comprehensive safeguards, implementation remains suboptimal due to inconsistent application of norms, weak inter-agency coordination, and limited social support for rehabilitation and reintegration. Strengthening institutional coordination, improving procedural compliance, and expanding community-based support are therefore essential to enhance the effectiveness of child protection within the juvenile justice system.]]>

<![CDATA[The rapid growth of beauty clinics in Indonesia has raised significant legal concerns regarding the unauthorized use of pharmaceutical preparations and medical devices, including dermarollers. Although Indonesian health law provides administrative and criminal sanctions, enforcement mechanisms remain fragmented and inconsistently applied. This study examines the enforcement of administrative penal law in addressing unlawful practices in beauty clinics, particularly the misuse of pharmaceuticals and medical devices without proper authorization. This research employs a normative juridical method supported by statutory and case approaches. It analyzes relevant legislation, including health law and medical device regulations, as well as selected court decisions to evaluate how administrative and criminal sanctions are implemented in practice. The findings reveal that enforcement tends to prioritize criminal prosecution while administrative measures—such as license revocation, suspension, and regulatory supervision—are underutilized. This imbalance weakens preventive regulatory control and creates enforcement gaps. The study argues that effective health law enforcement requires an integrated administrative-penal framework that positions administrative sanctions as the primary preventive instrument, with criminal sanctions functioning as ultimum remedium. This research contributes to the development of administrative penal law theory within the context of health regulation and offers policy recommendations to strengthen regulatory coherence in Indonesia’s beauty clinic sector.]]>

<![CDATA[Digital governance has transformed the interaction between governments and citizens, particularly in urban public service delivery. This study examines how digital platforms influence community participation, transparency, and administrative efficiency in metropolitan contexts. Drawing from interdisciplinary perspectives in sociology, political science, and communication studies, the research explores the role of digital tools in fostering inclusive governance while addressing persistent inequalities in access and digital literacy. The study employs a qualitative-descriptive approach supported by secondary data and case analysis of selected urban governance initiatives. Findings indicate that digital governance enhances responsiveness and citizen engagement when supported by strong institutional frameworks and community outreach programs. However, structural disparities—such as unequal internet access and socio-economic divides—continue to limit participation among marginalized groups. The research highlights the need for policy integration that combines technological innovation with social inclusion strategies. The study contributes to ongoing debates on governance transformation by emphasizing the sociological implications of digital administration and its impact on participatory democracy. Recommendations include strengthening digital literacy programs, ensuring equitable infrastructure, and embedding participatory mechanisms within governance systems.]]>
