Abstract

Sextortion consists of elements of sexual exploitation and corruption. It occurs when an individual in a position of authority demands sexual favours in exchange for the performance or non-performance of an official duty. In Malaysia, sextortion remains unrecognised as a distinct criminal offence and prosecuted under fragmented statutory provisions such as the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission Act 2009 (Act 694) or the Penal Code (Act 574). This article adopts a doctrinal legal methodology to examine the adequacy of Malaysia’s current legal framework. It draws comparative insights from Indonesia, where sexual gratification has been interpreted as a form of corrupt benefit under the Law No. 31 of 1999 on the Eradication of Corruption Crimes and the Law No. 12 of 2022 on Sexual Violence Crimes (TPKS). The study integrates international and regional literature on sextortion and victim psychology to propose comprehensive reform in Malaysia. The findings suggest that: (1) sextortion should be explicitly included within the definition of “gratification” in Section 3 of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission Act 2009; (2) trauma-informed and victim-centred investigation procedures should be embedded into enforcement practice; and (3) cross-agency coordination between the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC), police, and Anti-Sexual Harassment Tribunal is essential. Comparative lessons from Indonesia demonstrate that clear statutory recognition of sexual gratification as corruption enhances accountability and strengthens victim protection in the digital age.

Abstract

This study investigates the socio-economic determinants of juvenile delinquency in Bangladesh, focusing on juveniles documented in police reports in Dhaka. The purpose of the research is to examine how family instability, parental neglect, peer influence, neighborhood insecurity, and financial deprivation contribute to delinquent behavior. A mixed-methods design was adopted, combining structured surveys of 100 juveniles housed in Juvenile Development Centers with in-depth interviews of law enforcement officers, psychologists, and social workers, alongside case study analysis of police records. Results show that 81% of offenders belonged to the 16–18 age group, with 70% being male and 30% female. Educational deprivation was widespread, with 82% having no or only primary-level education. Household income data revealed that 83% came from low to lower-middle- income families, while 76% of parents lacked formal education. Peer influence emerged as a decisive factor, with 83% of juveniles admitting involvement in delinquent activities under the influence of friends. Regression and correlation analyses confirmed significant associations between family structure, income, peer networks, and drug use, while case studies revealed organized recruitment of youth by criminal gangs and political exploitation. The findings underline that juvenile delinquency is not only a matter of individual deviance but also a structural problem linked to socio-economic deprivation and institutional weakness. The practical value of this research lies in its recommendations to strengthen family welfare programs, expand vocational training, improve enforcement of the Children Act 2013, and develop integrated rehabilitation systems aimed at reducing recidivism and promoting safer communities.

Abstract

The 21st century has immensely shaped the face and art of governance with the rise of globalisation, technological innovations and rising public expectations. With this in mind, research methods, designs, and approaches have emerged as foundational pillars for advancing modern public Administration for practice and scientific research. Modern Public Administration faces countless challenges and problems ranging from policy misalignments, service delivery failures, lack of citizen participation and engagement, and many other issues requiring systematic and analytical approaches. Thus, these research methods, designs, and approaches serve as a backbone for understanding and resolving societal problems in a manner that allows public administrators to make evidence-based decisions. This study employed a qualitative approach relying on secondary data and thematic content analysis of relevant scholarly literature and documents. This analysis revealed that well-applied research methods and designs enable public administrators to trace and resolve public policy and other public administration problems. The study found that research methods extend beyond academic research and that these methods are practical solutions for the existing governance challenges. The study concluded that Afrocentric approaches and methods are central to resolving African governance problems and Public Administration shortfalls.

Abstract

This research examines in depth the aspects of legal philosophy related to Pancasila as the ontological and ethical basis in the structure of Indonesian law. From an ontological perspective, Pancasila is determined as the existential essence (causa prima) of national law, which originates from the cultural-religious values of Indonesian society and is manifested in hierarchical-pyramidal principles. In an ethical context, Pancasila serves as a legal ideal (rechtsidee) and basic moral norm that guides the creation, interpretation, and implementation of laws to achieve Social Justice. This type of research is normative-philosophical using conceptual, historical, and legislative methods. The results of the study indicate that the neglect of the ontological and ethical dimensions of Pancasila has led to a crisis of legal legitimacy and disorientation in progressive law enforcement. Thus, a reactualization and recontextualization of the Pancasila Legal Philosophy is needed as a Staats fundamental norm that is the soul of the entire legal system, from the grund norm to the implementing regulations, to ensure moral integrity and substantive justice in the Indonesian legal system.

Abstract

This study examines the legal aspects of Supreme Court Decision Number 85/Pdt/2021/PT.PAL relating to alleged medical malpractice in Indonesia. The research focuses on analysing the judges' legal considerations, the application of medical professional standards, and the forms of legal liability of medical personnel from civil, criminal, and professional perspectives. The research uses a normative legal method with a case approach and a statute approach. The results show that in the decision, the judge applied the prudence principle and the lex artis ad hoc doctrine, which is the assessment of medical actions based on professional standards at the time the action was performed, not based on the final outcome. The judge emphasised that in order to prove medical malpractice, three main elements must be fulfilled: negligence of professional standards, actual harm to the patient, and a direct causal relationship between the two. The criminal liability of doctors is ultimum remedium, so it can only be applied if there is proven gross negligence or intent that causes serious harm. This ruling strengthens legal certainty and protection for doctors who have acted in accordance with professional standards, while also providing legal guidelines for the protection of patients' rights.

Abstract

Pencemaran lingkungan menjadi permasalahan yang sangat sering terjadi akhir-akhir ini. Pencemaran lingkungan menjadi perhatian dari pemerintah karena dampaknya yang sangat luas baik bagi manusia, tumbuhan dan hewan. Artikel ini menarik untuk diteliti karena penegakan hukum dalam penyelesaian sengketa lingkungan hidup menjadi penting untuk mencegah terjadinya pencemaran lingkungan. Pelanggaran dalam lingkungan hidup sering terjadi dalam kegiatan pengelolaan limbah Bahan Berbahaya dan Beracun (B3) yang dilakukan secara ilegal pada media lingkungan hidup atau sering disebut dengan kegiatan dumping limbah. Penegakan hukum yang baik di bidang lingkungan hidup menjadikan aspek kepastian hukum memiliki posisi yang strategis. Kepastian hukum dalam rangka penegakan hukum di bidang lingkungan menjamin agar hukum dapat dilaksanakan sebagaimana yang tertulis. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengkaji aspek kepastian hukum dalam putusan perkara Nomor 991/Pid.B/LH/2021/PN Tj dalam kasus pencemaran lingkungan oleh PT Biuteknika Bina Prima. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan yuridis normatif dengan meneliti bahan pustaka atau data sekunder sebagai bahan utama penelitian, menelaah peraturan perundang-undangan dan literatur yang berkaitan dengan topik. Hasil analisis dalam artikel ini menunjukkan bahwa putusan Majelis Hakim pengadilan negeri Tanjung Karang dianggap belum mencerminkan kepastian hukum. Putusan Hakim terhadap PT. Biuteknika Bina Prima hanya berupa hukuman denda sebesar Rp25.000.000,00 (dua puluh lima juta rupiah) tanpa adanya pengenaan sanksi pidana kurungan sebagaimana yang telah diatur dalam ketentuan Pasal 104 Undang-Undang Perlindungan dan Pengelolaan Lingkungan Hidup.

Abstract

: In the face of increasingly complex debt disputes, traditional litigation often proves inefficient due to its high costs, protracted timelines, and emotional toll. Smartsettle, an AI-powered Online Dispute Resolution (ODR) platform that integrates game theory, offers a promising alternative. This research explores Smartsettle's potential to resolve debt disputes more effectively by analyzing how artificial intelligence, when combined with strategic decision-making frameworks like Nash Equilibrium and utility modeling, can optimize negotiations between creditors and debtors. Through a normative-juridical and comparative approach, the study examines the theoretical underpinnings of AI and game theory, the current legal framework of debt obligations in Indonesian civil law, and international case studies—particularly in Canada—where Smartsettle has been successfully implemented. Results indicate that Smartsettle facilitates faster, more transparent, and cost-effective settlements while preserving business relationships. This paper also analyzes legal integration challenges, such as regulatory gaps, public trust in AI, and infrastructure readiness in Indonesia. The study concludes with policy recommendations to support AI-based ODR platforms and enhance legal modernization. Overall, Smartsettle represents a viable and forward-thinking model for addressing civil disputes in the digital era.

Abstract

The adoption of electronic payment systems is increasingly essential for enhancing business efficiency, customer satisfaction, and market competitiveness in local trade centers. This investigated the acceptability, challenges, and adoption of electronic payment systems among local suppliers, buyers, and vendors at the Teodoro Arcenas Trade Center in Roxas City. An explanatory-sequential mixed methods approach was utilized, guided by the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology, involving 560 respondents and 10 participants for qualitative interviews. Results revealed that challenges in using electronic payments were generally low to moderate, with issues such as limited payment terminals and internet connectivity being the most notable. Acceptance and adoption levels were high, with respondents recognizing the systems’ security, ease of use, and usefulness. A significant relationship was found between acceptance and adoption, indicating that positive perceptions directly drive usage. Occupation significantly predicted acceptance, with vendors prioritizing operational efficiency, buyers valuing convenience, and suppliers emphasizing reliability and policy support. The study highlights the importance of improving digital infrastructure, expanding payment facilities, providing targeted training, and implementing occupation-specific policies to sustain adoption. These findings offer actionable insights for market administrators, policymakers, and payment providers to foster cashless transactions and support inclusive and efficient local economic development.
