Abstract

The death penalty is still maintained within the Indonesian criminal justice system as the most severe form of punishment for extraordinary crimes such as terrorism, narcotics offenses, premeditated murder, and corruption. However, the implementation of the death penalty in Indonesia raises serious legal issues, particularly regarding the prolonged waiting period for execution, which lacks legal certainty. Death row inmates are often required to endure years of uncertainty before execution, even after a final and binding court decision has been rendered. This condition gives rise to legal implications and violations of human rights, especially the right to life, the right to legal certainty, and the right to humane treatment. The prolonged delay in carrying out death sentences potentially causes severe psychological suffering, commonly referred to as the death row phenomenon and death row syndrome, which contradict the principle of humanity as a fundamental value in the formation and enforcement of law in Indonesia. This research employs a normative legal research method using statutory, conceptual, and case approaches to analyze the legal basis of the death penalty and its legal and human rights implications for death row inmates whose executions are indefinitely delayed. The findings indicate that the absence of clear regulations regarding the execution waiting period results in legal uncertainty and violations of the principle of humanity. Although the 2023 Criminal Code introduces conditional death penalty with a ten-year probation period as a moderating approach, such regulation has not fully resolved issues related to psychological suffering and legal certainty for death row inmates. Therefore, comprehensive regulatory reform is necessary to ensure legal certainty, human rights protection, and respect for humanitarian values in the implementation of the death penalty in Indonesia.

The government encourages the acceleration of waqf land certification through digital transformation in public services. This article aims to analyze determinants of cause the acceleration of waqf land certification in the digital era and its implementation in achieving legal certainty. This study employs an empirical legal research method with a qualitative approach, through the collection of primary data obtained from interviews and secondary data sourced from laws and regulations and literature studies. The results of the study indicate that in Kebumen Regency, there is still a lot of uncertified waqf land and its implementation is said to be still suboptimal. The factors causing the acceleration of waqf land certification are influenced by several factors, including government regulations and policies, synergy of cooperation between institutions, the active role of officials and assistance to nadzir, increased public legal awareness, and the digitalization of land services. While its implementation demonstrates that actions to accelerate waqf land certification are progressing, strengthening is still need to optimally achieve the set targets. Furthermore, the acceleration of waqf land certification is supported by inter-agency synergy and the use of digital-based information systems.

Abstract

Decision of the Jakarta State Administrative Court Numbers 133/G/TF/2024/PTUN. JKT declared that the claim against the General Election Commission was inadmissible, sparking a discussion about the absolut authoritys of the State Administrative Court (PTUN) in handling onrechtmatige overheidsdaad (OOD) cases during the electoral process. This Articles explores how the PTUN’s absolute authoritys applies to OOD cases stemming from the actions of those managing elections, centering the analysis around Decision Numbers 133/G/TF/2024/PTUN. JKT. The research employs a normative legal framework with an approach that is legislative, conceptsual, and analytical, focusing on the connections betweens Governments Administrations Law, Election Law, and associated court rules and rulings. The findings indicate that the Jakarta PTUN categorizes the subject of the lawsuit as a disagreement related to the election process, falling under the specific purview of election law, thereby negating the relevance of the OOD dispute process as outlined in Governments Administrations Law and the Supreme Court Regulation Numbers 2 of 2019. The conduct of the General Election Commission is viewed as part of the enforcement of the Constitutional Court Decision Numbers 90/PUU-XXI/2023, which is conclusive and binding, making it unsuitable for review via OOD frameworks in the PTUN. The application of the principle lex specialis derogat legi generali constrains the extent of judicial review over electoral administration activities and affects both legal certainty and the efficiency of administrative legal protection.

Abstract

This study examines children's involvement in collective violence resulting in death in Karawang Regency, focusing on criminogenic factors and the patterns and characteristics of group violence. The main issues discussed are how social, environmental, and individual factors influence children's involvement in fatal gang violence, and how patterns of collective violence among children are formed. This study aims to analyze the causes of children's involvement in collective violence, identify the patterns and characteristics of these collective actions, and assess the criminogenic factors that influence children's behavior. The method used is normative juridical legal research supported by an empirical approach and a criminological perspective. Data were obtained through a literature review of laws and regulations, court decisions, and scientific literature, as well as field studies in the form of interviews with public prosecutors handling related cases. All data were analyzed qualitatively using a descriptive approach. The results indicate that children's involvement in collective violence is influenced by weak parental supervision, negative peer influence, and the psychological conditions of adolescents who tend to be impulsive and emotionally dominated. Group dynamics reinforce aggressive behavior and reduce individual responsibility. This study concludes that preventing collective violence by children requires integrated efforts through law enforcement, strengthening the role of the family, fostering a positive social environment, and early intervention against criminogenic risk factors.

Abstract

Children as perpetrators of criminal offenses have become a phenomenon that has increasingly attracted attention in legal and criminological studies. Child development, which is strongly influenced by the social environment, family conditions, and psychological factors, makes children vulnerable to engaging in deviant behavior and coming into conflict with the law. This study aims to analyze the criminological factors underlying children as perpetrators of crime through a case study of Decision Number 6/Pid.Sus-Anak/2025/PN Kbm. The research method employed is normative legal research combined with an empirical approach, utilizing a statutory approach and a case approach. The data were obtained from primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials and analyzed qualitatively. The findings indicate that social and family environmental factors, as well as the psychological condition and age of the child, are dominant factors influencing the occurrence of criminal acts. The lack of supervision, attention, and social control from the surrounding environment, combined with the child's psychological immaturity, encourages children to engage in unlawful conduct. Therefore, a criminological approach emphasizes that the handling of children as perpetrators of criminal offenses should prioritize the principles of child protection, guidance, and preventive efforts to prevent the recurrence of criminal acts in the future.

Abstract

The enactment of Law No. 1 of 2023 (National Criminal Code/KUHP), replacing the colonial-era Criminal Code, marks a significant transformation for the Prosecutor’s Office. The institution must now shift from only executing imprisonment sentences to actively supervising community service punishments in public spaces. The prosecutor’s authority to execute court decisions is reaffirmed in recent regulations, including Article 349 paragraph (2) of Law No. 20 of 2025 on the Criminal Procedure Code (KUHAP). Nevertheless, the lack of comprehensive technical guidelines for the supervisory mechanism continues to pose ongoing challenges. This issue was examined through normative legal research with statutory and comparative approaches to assess the regulatory framework and the prosecutor’s role in executing final and binding (inkracht) court decisions. While a Prosecutor General’s Guideline exists, supervision regulations are broad and lack a specific mechanism for enforcing community service orders. The current system combines community service supervision with conditional punishment and probation, yet still treats community service as a separate category, despite its weaker implementation. The lack of supervision outside working hours increases the risk that offenders may avoid oversight, making the system overly dependent on their good faith.

Abstract

This study examines the illegal levy practices carried out by illegal parking attendants from a criminological perspective through  the Differential Association Theory. The research aims to analyze how illegal levy behavior is formed, studied, and maintained through social interaction between actors in public spaces. The method used is an empirical juridical approach with a descriptive-analytical nature that combines legal analysis with social realities in the field. Data was obtained through observation, interviews, and literature studies, then analyzed qualitatively. The results of the study show that the practice of illegal levies by illegal parking perpetrators is not just a spontaneous individual action, but is a pattern of deviant behavior learned in a certain social environment. This practice persists because of social tolerance, weak supervision and law enforcement, and the existence of informal power relations between perpetrators and the community. In practice, illegal levies are often accompanied by psychological pressure and non-verbal intimidation that encourages public compliance and normalizes illegal practices in daily life. From a criminological perspective, these behaviors are reproduced through repeated social interactions, collective justification, and learning techniques in the group of actors. This study concludes that illegal illegal parking levies are not only a violation of the law, but also a social phenomenon formed through the learning process, so its countermeasures require an integrated legal and criminological approach.

Abstract

This article discusses the obligation of companies to pay compensation to fixed-term contract workers whose employment relationship has ended due to violations committed by the workers based on laws and regulations, company regulations, and collective labor agreements. The purpose of this study is to analyze the mechanism of compensation payment by companies and the responsibility of companies regarding compensation payments to PKWT workers who violate PKWT or company regulations using an empirical juridical research method through analysis of labor regulations and empirical data obtained through observation and interviews with industrial relations mediators from the Semarang City Manpower Office and several company HR departments. Based on the results of observations and interviews, it was found that there was a discrepancy between the provisions of PP No. 35 of 2021 in conjunction with Law No. 13 of 2003 in conjunction with Law No. 6 of 2023 (das sollen), which requires companies to pay compensation to PKWT workers without exception. However, empirically (das sein), there are still many cases of disputes over rights arising because companies do not fulfill this obligation to workers. This situation has created a legal gap between normative provisions and practice in the field. The Constitutional Court Decision No. 168/PUU-XXI/2023, which requires companies to provide compensation without exception, and the Industrial Relations Court Decision No. 203/Pdt.Sus -PHI/2022/PN Jkt.Pst, which states that companies are required to pay compensation to workers, are examples of the legal consequences faced by companies that fail to comply with applicable regulations.

Abstract

The rapid development of AI has increased the potential for cybercrime through increasingly sophisticated, automated, and wide-scale abuse methods. In Indonesia, the regulation of cybercrimes related to the abuse of AI is still fragmented and generally relies on general provisions on cybercrimes, so it does not fully accommodate the specific characteristics and risks of AI technology. This study aims to analyze the regulation of cybercrime in the abuse of AI in Indonesia, examine the regulatory approach applied in the European Union, and formulate a reformulation of cybercrime regulations in the misuse of artificial intelligence in Indonesia. This study uses a normative legal research method with a statute approach and a comparative approach conducted through literature studies. Primary legal materials include Indonesian and European Union laws and regulations, as well as other regulations, which are supported by secondary legal materials in the form of academic literature and official documents. The results of the study show that the applicable regulations in Indonesia have not provided adequate legal certainty and accountability mechanisms for AI-based cybercrimes. Instead, the EU implements a more structured and risk-based regulatory model. This study concludes that Indonesia needs to reformulate the regulation of cybercrime by explicitly integrating the risks of using AI, harmonizing laws and regulations, and strengthening institutional capacity to realize effective law enforcement in the digital era.
