Journal of Law and Humanity Studies accommodates all studies on social dynamics and changes related or associated with law. Therefore, the study of criminal and civil law normatively (dogmatic law science), philosophically (legal philosophy), empirically (sociology and legal anthropology), and especially through interdisciplinary (socio-legal) and comparative studies (comparison), is highly permissible. Among the subjects in the field of law that can be chosen are law and the constitution, Humanity Studies, natural resource law, government law, business and civil law, criminal law, law and society, law and religion, and international law.

Abstract

Decentralized governance often creates a gap between regulatory authority and enforcement capacity at the local level. This study examines the Indonesian Satuan Polisi Pamong Praja (Satpol-PP) as a model of subnational enforcement designed to address this challenge. This research employs a qualitative and comparative approach based on document analysis of legal frameworks, policy reports, and academic literature. It compares Satpol-PP with similar institutions in France, Germany, Canada, and the United States across key institutional dimensions. The findings show that Satpol-PP represents a hybrid civilian enforcement body operating under local government authority with administrative powers to enforce regional regulations and maintain public order. Compared to its international counterparts, Satpol-PP has a broader functional scope, strong political embeddedness, and a non-militarized character, though it faces challenges related to professionalism, legal clarity, and public legitimacy. Satpol-PP demonstrates that decentralized states can develop locally anchored, non-police enforcement mechanisms. While not universally replicable, its model offers valuable insights into institutional adaptability, civilian-based enforcement, and the importance of balancing local responsiveness with accountability and legal safeguards.

Abstract

This article presents a comparative analysis of the application of restorative justice principles within the criminal justice systems of Japan and Indonesia. Employing a normative juridical method with a comparative, statutory, and conceptual approach, the study explores how each country integrates restorative practices into their legal frameworks. Japan applies restorative justice informally through culturally rooted mechanisms such as chōtei (community mediation), shazai (apology), and baishō (compensation), emphasizing social harmony without explicit codification. In contrast, Indonesia adopts a formal legal approach through various regulations, including Law No. 11 of 2012 and the Attorney General of the Republic of Indonesia Regulation No. 15 of 2020. However, the Indonesian implementation remains limited to juvenile and minor offenses. Despite the existence of sectoral rules, the country lacks a comprehensive legal framework for general and adult crimes, leading to a normative vacuum and inconsistent enforcement across regions. To address this, the study proposes the development of a dedicated restorative justice law applicable across all categories of crime. This paper contributes to the discourse on building a more humanistic and justice-oriented criminal law system by advocating a contextually relevant restorative approach.
