Abstract

This study aims to analyze the readiness of the digital bureaucracy in transforming public services in Sorong City, focusing on the capacity and digital literacy of the State Civil Apparatus (ASN). The research uses a mixed-methods approach with a sequential explanatory design, in which quantitative data are collected through questionnaires and analyzed descriptively and correlatively, and then deepened with qualitative data through in-depth interviews. The study's results show that the Sorong City Government's digital bureaucracy is in the early stages of implementation and has not been optimal. ASN capacity and ASN digital literacy are positively related to the readiness of the digital bureaucracy, but they remain at a sufficient, fundamental level. The transformation of digital public services has increased the efficiency of certain services. However, this improvement has not been evenly distributed due to limited human resources, system integration challenges, and a bureaucratic work culture. The study's implications emphasize the importance of strengthening civil servants' capacity and digital literacy as a prerequisite for the successful transformation of digital public services. The limitation of this study is in use of correlation analysis, which does not explain causal relationships. Further research is recommended to use a more comprehensive analytical approach and expand the scope of the research area.

Abstract

Digital transformation of government through the implementation of e-government has become a strategic agenda in bureaucratic reform in Indonesia. Local governments play a crucial role as a bridge between national policies and village governance practices. This article analyzes the implementation of e-government by the Batang Regency Government in support of village governance. This research uses a qualitative approach and a policy analysis method, based on literature reviews and official documents, including regional regulations, SPBE policies, and relevant institutional reports. The analysis was conducted using a theoretical framework of public policy implementation and the principles of good governance. The analysis results indicate that the Batang Regency Government has a relatively adequate e-government regulatory and institutional framework, but its implementation at the village level still faces challenges, including gaps in apparatus capacity, variations in village digital readiness, and suboptimal cross-organizational coordination. This article concludes that strengthening the role of local governments as facilitators, coaches, and coordinators of digital policies is key to the successful implementation of village e-government. These findings provide theoretical contributions to e-government studies and policy implementation, as well as practical implications for formulating local government digital policies.

Abstract

Forced labor of children by parents remains a serious issue in the protection of children's rights in Indonesia, especially when such practices are justified on the basis of family economic needs. This study aims to analyze the legal provisions protecting children by forced labor by parents and to examine the obstacles to law enforcement. The research method used is normative legal research by a literature review approach, through an examination of relevant laws, legal principles, and legal doctrines. The findings of the research intricate that, legal positive indonesia there are a good constitutional and juridical legal basis in context is 1945 Constitution of the Republic Indonesia, Child Protection Law, Manpower Law and Convention on The Rights of Children which that make forced child labor as an economic exploitation categorization is prohibited. But the success of legal protection continues to run up against both legal and sociological challenges, including the murky borderlines of forced labour within the family, the challenge of proving psychological coercion and poverty-nurtured cultural attitudes towards child labour. Therefore a comprehensive approach, including law enforcement and social policies based on the best child interest is necessary.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze bureaucratic transformation and public service innovation in the dynamics of the administrative capacity of the Dili City government, specifically at the Cristo Rei District Office, in realizing responsive, accountable, and quality public services. The research approach employed a mixed methods approach, collecting quantitative data through questionnaires from 12 respondents and qualitative data through in-depth interviews with four key informants: Fernando Araujo (District Head), Marciana de Jesus Soares (Head of Administration and Finance), Jose Sarmento (Head of Program Planning), and Ernesto Mendonça (Head of Public Relations). Statistical analysis showed that institutional capacity had a very strong influence on public accountability (r = 0.806; p = 0.002), while bureaucratic responsiveness had a very strong influence on the quality of public services (r = 0.727; p = 0.007). The interviews revealed concrete practices of bureaucratic transformation, such as effective internal coordination, orderly administrative procedures, one-stop service, and responsiveness to citizen needs. This study indicates that institutional capacity and bureaucratic responsiveness are the dominant factors in improving service quality, while formal accountability needs to be made more open and participatory. The findings support the Theory of Administrative Capacity and the New Public Service, and offer recommendations to strengthen participatory mechanisms and make performance evaluation more transparent.

Abstract

This study examines the effectiveness of the Jambi Regional Police in enforcing criminal law in the digital era, particularly in addressing online gambling offences, from the perspective of Islamic law. The rapid development of information technology has transformed crime from physical spaces into cyberspace, characterised by anonymity, speed, and transnational reach, thereby requiring adaptive law enforcement strategies. This research adopts a qualitative juridical-empirical approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with law enforcement officers at the Jambi Regional Police, analysis of case documents, and examination of relevant legal frameworks, particularly Indonesia’s Electronic Information and Transactions Law (ITE Law). The findings reveal that the Jambi Regional Police have implemented several strategic measures in combating digital crimes, including cyber patrols, digital forensic investigations, seizure of electronic evidence, and inter-agency coordination. Nevertheless, the effectiveness of law enforcement remains constrained by technological limitations, complex digital evidence requirements, the transnational nature of cybercrime, and limited public digital legal awareness. From an Islamic law perspective, police actions against online gambling align with the objectives of maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah, particularly the protection of religion (ḥifẓ al-dīn), property (ḥifẓ al-māl), and intellect (ḥifẓ al-‘aql). This study concludes that while digital criminal law enforcement by the Jambi Regional Police is fundamentally appropriate, it requires strengthened institutional capacity, integration of Islamic legal values, and adaptive policy reforms to enhance effectiveness and substantive justice.

Abstract

The circulation of narcotics as a serious crime in Indonesia faces the reality that some types of narcotics have medical benefits when used in limited quantities and under strict supervision, while cannabis plants remain classified as Class I Narcotics in Law No. 35 of 2009 concerning Narcotics, thereby prohibiting their use in health services. This situation raises legal issues regarding the basis for classification, legal qualifications, and the possibility of updating norms so that cannabis can be used for medical purposes. This study aims to analyze the historical and legal basis for the classification of cannabis, its qualification in the national legal system, and to formulate a normative regulatory concept that allows its use for health services. The method used is normative legal research with a historical and comparative approach, through a literature study of primary and secondary legal materials, which are analyzed descriptively and qualitatively. The results of the study show that the classification of cannabis is rooted in international commitments through the 1961 Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs, which was later ratified and adopted into national law, so that legally cannabis is only permitted for research purposes. however, considering the development of science and practice in various countries, it is necessary to update the norms through the formation of a Ministerial Regulation as mandated by Article 6 paragraph (3) of the Narcotics Law as a limited and controlled first step to open up the use of cannabis in health services without neglecting the principle of preventing abuse.

Abstract

For criminal justice systems, the growing number of young people involved in drug-related crimes is a serious problem, especially when it comes to striking a balance between law enforcement and child protection and rehabilitation. By contrasting viewpoints from Islamic law and Indonesian positive law, this study investigates the use of restorative justice in the processing of adolescent drug cases in Tanjung Jabung Barat Regency, Jambi. The study used a qualitative socio-legal methodology that integrates normative legal analysis with empirical field data gathered via observations, interviews, and document analysis involving law enforcement personnel, rehabilitation facilities, families, and community people. The results show that diversionary measures required by Law No. 11 of 2012 regulating the Juvenile Criminal Justice System are the main means by which restorative justice is applied in juvenile drug cases. In order to guarantee that children are not subjected to punitive detention but rather have options for recovery and social reintegration, these systems prioritize mediation, rehabilitation, and community involvement. From the standpoint of Islamic law, restorative justice is consistent with fundamental tenets like tawbah (repentance), islah (reconciliation), and the protection of human welfare, all of which place an emphasis on moral reform and the preservation of children's dignity. These ideas support the adoption of restorative measures in the resolution of adolescent drug offenses in Tanjung Jabung Barat, a sociocultural setting where Malay-Islamic beliefs have a significant impact on community life. The report does, however, also point out a number of difficulties, such as the lack of rehabilitation facilities, the societal stigma associated with juvenile offenders, and the inconsistent use of diversion by law enforcement. The study comes to the conclusion that a framework for handling juvenile drug cases that prioritizes the rehabilitation and future well-being of children is both culturally sensitive and legally sound when restorative justice ideas are integrated with Islamic legal values and Indonesian statutory law.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the implementation of spatial planning regulations in the development of tourism accommodations and law enforcement against spatial planning violations in the Bingin Beach area, Badung Regency. The rapid development of tourism in the area has encouraged the construction of various facilities such as villas, hotels, and restaurants, some of which are located in coastal areas and do not fully comply with spatial planning and licensing regulations. This study uses empirical legal research methods with a legislative approach, case approach, and legal sociology approach. Data was obtained through observation, interviews, and document studies, then analyzed qualitatively. The results show that the implementation of spatial planning regulations in Bingin Beach has not been optimal because there are still tourism accommodation buildings that violate zoning and coastal boundary line regulations. This condition is influenced by weak supervision, rapid tourism development, and lack of compliance with licensing procedures. Law enforcement is carried out by the local government through the imposition of administrative sanctions and efforts to control buildings that do not comply with spatial planning. This law enforcement aims to maintain order in the use of space and protect the sustainability of the coastal environment.

Abstract

Corporate involvement in environmental crimes has emerged as an increasingly complex legal challenge in Indonesia, given its profound consequences for ecological sustainability and public welfare. This study examines the normative construction of corporate criminal liability within Indonesia's positive legal framework and identifies juridical obstacles undermining enforcement effectiveness. A normative legal research method was employed, incorporating statute, conceptual, and comparative approaches. Although legal instruments such as Law No. 32 of 2009, Supreme Court Regulation No. 13 of 2016, and Law No. 1 of 2023 provide a formal basis for corporate criminal accountability, their implementation is hindered by normative inconsistencies. Key obstacles include difficulties in proving corporate mens rea, limited institutional capacity, regulatory ambiguity, and absence of Piercing the Corporate Veil integration. These conditions create normative gaps perpetuating weak corporate accountability recurring environmental violations. This study recommends regulatory reformulation, harmonization of legal instruments, strengthened institutional capacity toward effective and equitable environmental justice.
