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.
