Abstract

This study aims to determine the Makassar City Government's efforts to fulfill the rights of the poor and neglected children in Makassar City, and also to analyze the factors in Makassar City Government legal policies that impact the fulfillment of rights for the poor and neglected children in Makassar City. The method used in this study is empirical legal research, namely legal research that uses empirical data through observations in real situations to explain a research. The results of this study indicate that efforts to fulfill the rights of street children, beggars, and vagrants are not yet optimal. This is due to several factors, including internal government initiatives, community participation, and customs. This research recommends that the government implement substantial programs that truly address the rights of the poor and neglected children, rather than simply being implemented on a whim or for a short period of time.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the legal procedures for conducting post-mortems on murder victims in Indonesia and to determine the implications of post-mortems on human rights, particularly the rights of victims and their families, during the investigation of murder crimes. The research, entitled "Normative Analysis of Post-mortems on Murder Victims," utilizes a normative legal research method. This method emphasizes the analysis of statutory regulations, legal doctrine, and various related legal literature. Forensic autopsies play a crucial role in the criminal law evidentiary system, particularly in murder cases. They serve as a tool to determine the legitimate and objective cause of death and contribute significantly to the development of post mortem examinations (visum et repertum) as legally recognized evidence. Normatively, the procedure for post-mortem examinations has a clear legal basis, regulated by the Criminal Procedure Code (KUHAP), the Health Law, and other relevant regulations. Autopsies may be performed without the family's consent for law enforcement purposes, but must still be conducted with respect for human rights, cultural values, and professional ethics.

Abstract

This study This study aims to analyze the criminal misuse of patient medical data in the context of health insurance in Indonesia, which is a crucial issue in protecting individual privacy rights. In practice, misuse of medical data is not uncommon, both directly and indirectly, which can harm patients physically, psychologically, and financially. This study uses a normative juridical approach by examining the applicable legal framework, combined with case studies as an empirical approach to assess how the law is implemented in the field. The results show that although a legal framework governing medical data protection exists, its implementation still faces various challenges, such as weak oversight, low legal literacy among data holders, and the absence of a firm and effective sanction mechanism. This study provides several strategic recommendations to strengthen legal protection for patient medical data, including through regulatory harmonization, increased oversight, education for stakeholders, and the establishment of an independent supervisory body authorized to protect personal data in the health and insurance sectors.

This study uses the research method used is the normative method, namely a legal research method that is sourced from regulatory and secondary document data in the form of collection from library and tertiary materials which are documents containing concepts and information such as dictionaries. The results of this study indicate that there are several qualifying elements if someone is caught in a case of blasphemy in the criminal code and the law on information and electronic transactions. In this case, the perpetrators who are included in the act of blasphemy are in Article 300 to Article 305 of the Criminal Code and Article 28 paragraph 2 of the law on information and electronic transactions which discusses the act of blasphemy. This research recommendation states that there is a need for effectiveness in the criminal code and the law on information and electronic transactions in determining punishment for someone who commits the crime of blasphemy because there are many acts of blasphemy in the community but there is not much movement from the authorities in dealing with the crime of blasphemy, therefore religious scholars and law enforcers need to take firm action in anticipating acts of blasphemy.

Abstract

This study aims to review the development of the Indonesian Capital City (Ibu Kota Nusantara/IKN) within the framework of constitutional law from a historical and comparative perspective with Putrajaya, Malaysia. Using a normative legal research method with statutory, historical, and comparative approaches, this study analyzes the historical formation of the capital city relocation policy and compares the IKN with Putrajaya. The results indicate that the idea of relocating Indonesia's capital city has existed since the Soekarno era, formally realized through Law Number 3 of 2022 on the National Capital City. The relocation is driven by factors such as overpopulation, land subsidence, environmental degradation, and regional development inequality. A comparative study between IKN and Putrajaya reveals that although both share the goal of administrative efficiency, Putrajaya emphasizes modernization of administrative functions within a compact planned city, while IKN envisions a broader purpose as a green, sustainable, and politically representative capital that symbolizes national culture and identity. IKN is designed with 70% green space, renewable energy use, and a phased development plan through 2045. This study recommends that IKN development be carried out sustainably with increased transparency, public participation, and adoption of best practices from global urban planning.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effectiveness of the South Sulawesi Regional Police Cyber Sub-Directorate in combating online gambling crimes and the factors that influence it. In this study, an analysis of the normative aspects of legislation and an evaluation of its implementation in the field were conducted as a basis for formulating answers to the issues under review. This study uses an empirical legal research method, with the research location at the South Sulawesi Regional Police Cyber Sub-Directorate. The results show that the South Sulawesi Regional Police Cyber Subdirectorate's efforts to combat online gambling crimes are still ineffective, as evidenced by the increase in the number of cases over the past four years. This is influenced by the limited authority and capacity of investigators, lack of budgetary support, economic factors within the community, and low public awareness of the laws regarding online gambling. Based on these findings, this study recommends that the Cyber Subdirectorate increase preventive efforts through continuous legal socialization to the community, as well as increased cross-sector coordination in cyber patrols and blocking online gambling sites. In addition, internal policies are needed as a basis for evidence, increased investigator capacity through continuous training, and government support in providing adequate facilities, infrastructure, and budget to support law enforcement.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the legal provisions for verbal harassment (catcalling) as a form of sexual harassment in public spaces and to examine the urgency of legal protection for victims in Indonesia. This study uses a normative legal research method with an emphasis on the study of applicable legal norms, principles, and principles, through a literature review covering primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials, which are then analyzed qualitatively to find a match between the construction of norms and the reality of victim protection. The renewal of this study lies in the emphasis on strengthening the victim's perspective in reading the phenomenon of catcalling as a violation of human dignity and the right to feel safe in public spaces, while also testing the effectiveness of existing legal regulations in responding to contemporary social dynamics. The results of this study indicate that catcalling is a form of verbal sexual harassment that has real psychological and social impacts, and has received stronger legal recognition, although in practice it still faces obstacles in terms of proof, the capacity of officials, and cultural normalization in society. The conclusion of this study confirms that legal protection for victims is not yet fully optimal and requires strengthened implementation, consistent law enforcement, and a victim-sensitive approach.  This study recommends consistent law enforcement with a victim-centered approach, along with public education, increased collective awareness of the need to reject catcalling, and further studies on the effectiveness of its implementation in practice.

Abstract

Vote-count manipulation is an electoral crime that can undermine the legitimacy of election results and reduce public trust in democratic processes. This study aimed to analyze the legal framework governing the criminal offense of vote-count fraud in general elections in Indonesia, to examine the mechanisms for handling and enforcing the law against such violations, and to assess the application of criminal sanctions under the applicable laws and regulations. This research used a normative legal method with a statutory approach and examined relevant legislation, legal principles. The study found that manipulation of vote-count results was explicitly prohibited and subject to criminal sanctions under Indonesian electoral laws. The enforcement mechanism for electoral crimes was carried out through the Integrated Law Enforcement Center (Sentra Gakkumdu), which integrated the roles of the Election Supervisory Body (Bawaslu), the Police, and the Prosecutor’s Office to ensure effective enforcement and legal certainty in handling electoral criminal cases. This study concludes that strengthening the professionalism and integrity of law enforcement officials is essential to prevent and effectively address vote-count fraud in elections, thereby safeguarding democratic legitimacy and public trust in the electoral system.
