Abstract

Economic exploitation of children in urban environments is a complex form of social crime that is often hidden behind the dynamics of city life. Children are not only victims of family economic pressures, but also become objects of crime by parties who take advantage of their vulnerability. This article aims to analyze the phenomenon of child exploitation from a criminological perspective, highlighting how social structures, economic inequality, and weak legal protection systems contribute to the rampant practice of exploitation in urban areas. Using a qualitative approach and critical criminology theory, this study examines the patterns of exploitation that occur, including the involvement of children in informal work, forced labor, and other forms of hidden exploitation. The results of the analysis show that child exploitation is not only triggered by economic factors, but also by the cultural normalization of child labor, lack of legal awareness at the community level, and minimal community-based state intervention. This article emphasizes that child exploitation must be understood as a structural crime that requires an interdisciplinary and collaborative approach. Prevention and handling efforts are not enough only through law enforcement, but also through community empowerment, social policy reform, and strengthening child protection systems that are responsive to the urban context. Thus, protecting children from economic exploitation must be a priority agenda in criminal and social policies in urban areas.

Abstract

The development of artificial intelligence (AI) technology has given birth to a new form of crime in the form of deepfake pornography, which is the production of sexual content that is digitally manipulated without the consent of the subject. This article discusses legal protection for victims of deepfake pornography in Indonesia through normative juridical approaches and case studies, particularly by highlighting the case of Udayana University students who produced deepfake content against dozens of female students. The results of the study show that Indonesia's positive law—through the Pornography Law, the ITE Law, and the TPKS Law—has not specifically regulated the crime of producing AI-engineered content, so law enforcement officials often have difficulty in ensnaring perpetrators optimally. In addition, technical constraints, weak digital forensic capacity, social stigma, and low digital literacy worsen the position of victims. This article recommends a reformulation of regulations that include explicit definitions of deepfake content, strengthening impact-based criminal sanctions, restitution for victims, national digital education, and the establishment of international cooperation through the ratification of the Budapest Convention. With a comprehensive legal approach and oriented towards victim protection, it is hoped that the Indonesian legal system will be able to answer the challenges of digital crime in the era of artificial intelligence.

Abstract

This study is intended to examine the application of protection of the economic rights of copyright holders of musical works of art as regulated in Law Number 28 of 2014 concerning Copyright, with a focus on the study of Supreme Court Decision Number 464 K/Pdt.Sus-HKI/2024. This study uses a normative legal approach by collecting data through literature reviews, laws and regulations, official documents, and other legal sources. The problems studied include the form of protection of economic rights in the copyright of musical works and how the legal considerations of the panel of judges in upholding the principle of this protection. The results of the analysis show that economic rights give creators exclusive rights to utilize, reproduce, distribute, and obtain economic benefits from their works. In this case, the Panel of Judges of the Supreme Court concluded that Rahman Efendi as the creator of the song “Nasib Force One Buruk” had his economic rights harmed by Romli through the song “Obuk Celleng” which without permission composed the lyrics, notation, chords, and arrangements. The Panel of Judges overturned the first instance court’s decision, granted Rahman Efendi’s appeal, ordered the revocation of the registration of the song “Obuk Celleng”, and determined the payment of material and immaterial compensation. However, there is potential for legal friction in the judge’s considerations that do not delve into the substance of the violation and focus more on the letter of registration of the creation.

Abstract

Junior High School (SMP) plays a crucial role in a student’s educational path. SMP is a bridge between elementary school (SD) and high school (SMA), which forms an important foundation for students’ academic, social, and emotional development. The problem Initial investigation results revealed child marriage at SMPN 1 Pemalang. Both the bride and groom, both male and female, were still 14 years old, which means that the marriage violated the minimum age for marriage according to the law. The target community is not yet fully aware of the existence of alternative solutions for children who drop out of school due to child marriage, so their right to education is neglected. Children who marry at an early age are also not yet able to fully understand the negative impacts of marriage under the age of 19, such as poverty, domestic violence (KDRT), and health problems. The complexity of the problem of child marriage is not comparable to the psychological condition of children who are not yet mature, which has a negative impact on their mental health and ultimately reduces the quality of Indonesia’s human resources (HR). To overcome this problem, the devotee offers a solution in the form of ongoing activities that focus on Increasing Legal Awareness of Marriage Age to Fulfill Education and Health Rights at Smp Negeri 1 Pemalang. The target of this program is to increase legal awareness related to the ideal marriage age and solutions through educational forums, which will be measured through a post-test with a target value higher than the survey and pre-test results.

Abstract

This study examines the role of legal assistance in empowering the Masyarakat Perlindungan Indikasi Geografis (MPIG) Java Sindoro-Sumbing community in Temanggung, Indonesia, to protect their communal intellectual property. Focusing on the unique geographical indication (GI) of coffee from the Sindoro-Sumbing region, the research addresses the critical challenges faced by local communities in safeguarding their heritage against potential misuse and unauthorized commercialization. Historically, such communities have lacked the legal expertise and resources to navigate the complexities of intellectual property law, leaving their valuable assets vulnerable. Our research employs a qualitative, case-study approach, documenting the process of providing targeted legal support to the MPIG. This assistance included educating community members on GI rights, assisting with the legal registration process, and preparing them to handle potential disputes. We analyze the outcomes of this intervention, highlighting how legal empowerment has not only strengthened the community's capacity to defend its GI but has also fostered a greater sense of ownership and collective identity. The findings suggest that proactive legal assistance is a vital tool for community-based organizations seeking to protect their intangible cultural and economic assets. By bridging the gap between legal frameworks and grassroots needs, this approach offers a sustainable model for communal resource management. The study concludes that for regions rich in unique geographical products, legal support is not merely a reactive measure but a proactive strategy for ensuring economic justice and cultural preservation.

Abstract

Workers with disabilities in Indonesia continue to encounter deep and multifaceted barriers in entering and sustaining participation in the formal labor market because the implementation of national regulations that guarantee equal employment rights, workplace accessibility, and protection from discrimination remains inconsistent with the expectations set by existing legal frameworks, creating a significant gap between the normative commitments contained in disability and labor legislation and the realities experienced in workplaces that often underestimate the capabilities of disabled workers, maintain persistent social stigma, and fail to provide adequate facilities and organizational policies that support their effective participation. This study aims to explain the reasons why these barriers persist by examining how weak oversight, limited understanding among employers, inadequate workplace accessibility, minimal use of assistive technology, and the absence of strong incentive and sanction systems collectively undermine the objectives of disability inclusion policies. The findings reveal that companies often disregard hiring quotas, government institutions lack the capacity to enforce compliance, workplaces remain largely inaccessible, and small and medium-sized enterprises struggle to adopt inclusive practices due to resource limitations and insufficient technical guidance. In contrast, multinational companies that have implemented structured facilities, flexible work arrangements, and targeted training demonstrate that inclusion can operate effectively when supported by organizational commitment. Based on these findings, the study recommends strengthening institutional coordination, improving employer education on disability rights, expanding vocational and skills-based training tailored to various types of disabilities, enhancing accessibility facilities in workplaces, and providing clear and practical guidelines for companies of different sizes so they can adjust work environments, tasks, and policies in ways that allow workers with disabilities to participate more fully and sustainably in Indonesia’s labor market.
