Abstract

The specific minimum sentence in corruption crimes aims to provide a deterrent effect and guarantee legal certainty. However, after the Constitutional Court Decision No. 25/PUU-XIV/2016, there has been a shift in the sentencing paradigm, where judges are given discretionary space to consider substantive justice even though the minimum sentence provisions still apply. This study uses a normative juridical method with a statutory regulatory approach and case studies, and is analyzed using the ASTACITA framework. The results of the study show that the Constitutional Court's decision strengthens the independence of judges but also opens up the potential for disparity in sentencing and legal uncertainty, especially in cases involving justice collaborators. This study emphasizes the importance of a balance between legal certainty and substantive justice, as well as the urgency of national sentencing guidelines to prevent deviations in discretion. ASTACITA is used as a normative basis in measuring the proportionality and accountability of sentencing in the corruption criminal law system in Indonesia.

Abstract

This study investigates how Islamic da’wah can serve as a strategic instrument in strengthening civic engagement within democratic societies. Civic engagement is the active participation of citizens in public life, including policy-making, government oversight, and involvement in solving social problems. It is a crucial element in maintaining a fair and participatory democratic system. In the context of Muslim communities, Islamic da’wah not only aims to convey religious teachings but also seeks to instill universal values such as justice, equality, consultation (shura), empathy, and social responsibility—principles that form the foundation of democratic life. This research uses a descriptive qualitative method with a library research approach. Data were gathered from secondary sources such as books, academic journals, and relevant articles related to Islamic da’wah, civic engagement, and democracy. This method was chosen to allow for a comprehensive and systematic analysis of the social function of da’wah without conducting field observations or direct interviews. The results of this study show that Islamic da’wah, when practiced contextually and inclusively, can build critical social awareness, encourage public participation, and strengthen constructive social dialogue. Digital da’wah, Islamic value-based social campaigns, and the proactive role of preachers as agents of change become key elements in bridging Islamic teachings with democratic values. Furthermore, participatory da’wah empowers marginalized groups to become more involved in public discourse. Therefore, Islamic da’wah emerges not only as a spiritual medium but also as a cultural force that supports the development of a just, democratic, and civilized civil society.

Abstract

News objectivity serves as a crucial foundation for maintaining media integrity amid the digital information flow. This study aims to analyze the objectivity of news coverage by Kompas.com in the “Most Popular Index” section concerning the “First 100 Days of Prabowo-Gibran.” The research employs a descriptive qualitative method with a case study approach and content analysis based on Westerstahl’s objectivity model, which includes the dimensions of factuality and impartiality. The findings indicate that the news coverage demonstrates a high level of factual accuracy and relevance, with information that is accurate, comprehensive, and sourced from credible references. The neutrality of news presentation is also maintained, free from evaluative or sensational elements. However, the aspect of balance still requires improvement, as most articles present only a single point of view. Kompas.com’s reporting on this topic can be considered objective in terms of factuality and neutrality, though the inclusion of diverse perspectives remains an important note for strengthening overall objectivity.

Abstract

Budget management in police institutions has a strategic role in ensuring accountability and effectiveness in the implementation of state duties. However, violations in budget planning and utilization still often occur due to weak supervisory systems and a closed bureaucratic culture. This study aims to analyze the normative law enforcement mechanism against budget violations within the Police and evaluate its effectiveness in ensuring the principles of accountability and impunity. The type of research used is normative-doctrinal with statutory, conceptual, and case study approaches. The results of the study show that although regulations are adequate, the implementation of the law is still hampered by conflicts of interest, lack of transparency, and lack of public participation. Therefore, systemic reform is needed through strengthening institutional capacity, digitizing the budget system, and cross-agency supervisory collaboration to encourage fair and accountable law enforcement in the police institution.

Abstract

This study examines violations of ethical commenting on the Instagram account @Pertamina, in response to a fuel-mixing corruption case that caused state losses of up to one quadrillion rupiah. The research aims to describe forms of unethical comments posted by netizens and analyze them based on Article 28 paragraph (2) of Indonesia’s Electronic Information and Transactions Law (ITE Law). A normative juridical method was used, supported by digital observation, documentation, and note-taking techniques. The results revealed 20 comment samples containing hate speech, insults, threats, and defamation. These comments not only violate digital ethics but also potentially breach Articles 28(2) and 27(3) of the ITE Law. According to Soedikno Mertokusumo's theory of legal objectives, such comments fail to uphold justice, legal certainty, and usefulness, ultimately damaging the digital public space, which should foster healthy and productive communication.

Abstract

Criminalistics is an important supporting science in the criminal justice system, especially at the investigation stage. This science is used by investigators to uncover crimes scientifically through analysis of physical evidence, fingerprints, traces of wounds, poisons, objects used, and reconstruction of the incident. In cases of premeditated murder committed by children, criminalistics plays a crucial role in proving the elements of the crime. This study raises two problem formulations, namely: (1) What is the role of criminalistics in revealing the crime of premeditated murder by children? and (2) What are the inhibiting factors of criminalistics in the disclosure process? This study uses a normative and empirical legal approach, by combining primary data through interviews and secondary data from literature studies. The results of the study indicate that criminalistics is very important in helping investigators uncover facts and compile a scientific picture of criminal events. The factors that inhibit the role of criminalistics include: limited means and facilities for forensic investigation, legal aspects that limit the time of investigation, lack of coordination between law enforcement officers, and community and cultural factors. Among these factors, the most dominant are the lack of forensic facilities, limited investigation time, and weak coordination between institutions. This study suggests that investigators be provided with comprehensive criminalistic training and authorities increase the provision of forensic equipment, especially in regional areas, to support the effectiveness of disclosing crimes involving children as perpetrators.

Abstract

The protection of justice collaborators (JC) is a vital element in the eradication of extraordinary crimes such as corruption, narcotics, and premeditated murder. However, in the practice of criminal justice in Indonesia, there is still a gap between the normative legal framework and the implementation of protection for JCs. This research aims to juridically evaluate the effectiveness of the JC protection mechanism based on national regulations and judicial practice. The method used is normative legal research with a case study approach, through analysis of legislation, court decisions, and LPSK documents. The results of the study show that weak institutional coordination, inconsistency of decisions, and lack of post-trial protection are the main obstacles. It is necessary to codify JC protection in criminal procedure law and strengthen the capacity of legal apparatus to realize comprehensive protection. This research contributes to the development of a fairer and more responsive justice system in protecting the moral courage of JCs.

Abstract

Integrated assessment is a multidisciplinary approach used in the judicial system to evaluate the psychological, social and medical conditions of legal subjects, particularly in cases involving children, victims of violence, persons with mental disabilities or defendants with psychological disorders. This study aims to examine the evidentiary strength of integrated assessment from juridical and psychological perspectives using a normative juridical approach. The findings reveal that although integrated assessments are recognized in legal practice, their status as admissible evidence is not yet explicitly regulated in criminal procedural law. From a psychological perspective, such assessments possess high scientific value and can provide an objective overview of the subject’s condition. However, limited understanding among legal practitioners regarding the interpretation of assessment results remains a major challenge. Therefore, regulatory harmonization and cross-sectoral capacity building are needed to optimize the function of integrated assessments in court proceedings.

Abstract

Law enforcement plays a vital role in building a just, reliable, and corrupt-free criminal system. The success of the criminal system is highly dependent on the integrity of law enforcement officers, from the police, prosecutors, to the judiciary. This article discusses how consistent, transparent, and accountable law enforcement can increase public trust and minimize the potential for abuse of power. Through a normative and legal approach, this paper emphasizes the importance of institutional reform and legal culture in order to create a clean and just criminal system. This article critically examines the strategic role of law enforcement officials in building public trust through a transparent, accountable and integrity judicial system. Using a normative juridical approach and analysis of empirical data, this research highlights various challenges faced, such as weak integrity of the apparatus, political intervention, and a legal culture that is permissive of violations. This paper also emphasizes the importance of institutional reform, strengthening protection for justice collaborators and whistleblowers, and utilizing digital technology in order to encourage legal accountability.
