<![CDATA[Digital technologies have become embedded in the routines of urban life, reshaping how individuals interact, coordinate activities, and construct social meaning. Sociological analyses that focus primarily on macro structures often overlook routine practices through which technology becomes socially significant. This study aims to examine everyday digital practices in urban communities and to analyze how routine technology use contributes to the production of social meaning, interactional norms, and perceptions of belonging. The research employs a qualitative sociological design, combining in-depth interviews, observation of everyday practices, and analysis of digital artifacts to capture lived experiences of urban technology use. The findings indicate that everyday digital practices function as socially meaningful actions rather than neutral technical behaviors. Routine engagement with smartphones, social media, and digital service applications shapes expectations of availability, responsiveness, and social visibility, reinforcing hybrid forms of online and offline interaction. Digital practices are shown to strengthen social coordination while simultaneously reproducing subtle forms of exclusion within urban settings. The study concludes that social meaning in urban communities is increasingly produced through habitual digital practices that organize everyday life. Understanding technology use as a routine social practice provides critical insight into contemporary urban social transformation and underscores the relevance of sociological perspectives in digital society research.]]>

<![CDATA[Military policing operates at the intersection of disciplinary authority and civilian engagement, creating complex tensions between enforcement mandates and human rights obligations in contemporary security environments. Expanding roles in peacekeeping, internal security, and hybrid operations have exposed gaps in legal clarity and accountability mechanisms. This study aims to examine how legal authority is defined and applied in military policing and how human rights boundaries are maintained under dual mandates. A qualitative doctrinal and socio-legal approach was employed, combining analysis of legal instruments, comparative frameworks, and secondary operational data across jurisdictions. Findings indicate that while disciplinary authority is comprehensively regulated, civilian engagement rules, detention safeguards, and oversight mechanisms remain inconsistently defined. Policy coherence, institutional oversight, and training significantly influence compliance with human rights standards, while legal ambiguity increases reliance on discretion and risk of violations. The study concludes that effective military policing requires harmonized legal frameworks, explicit operational guidelines, and strengthened accountability systems to balance authority with rights protection. Integration of legal clarity and institutional capacity is essential for ensuring consistent and rights-compliant practice in evolving security contexts.]]>

<![CDATA[Indonesia faces a severe prison overcrowding crisis, with national overcapacity rates often exceeding 200%. Restorative Justice (RJ) has been formally adopted as a primary policy response, yet its empirical effectiveness as a large-scale diversionary tool to mitigate this crisis remains unverified. This study aimed to quantitatively analyze the effectiveness of RJ implementation in reducing new prison admissions and slowing the growth of total carceral populations in Indonesian jurisdictions. A quasi-experimental, comparative interrupted time-series (ITS) design was employed. Aggregate panel data from 40 matched jurisdictions (20 High-RJ implementation, 20 Low-RJ control) were analyzed over a 120-month period (2015-2024). A fixed-effects regression model was used to isolate the policy’s impact. -Implementation RJ jurisdictions showed significantly slower carceral population growth (9.1%) compared to Low-Implementation controls (38.4%). The regression analysis confirmed a robust, negative relationship between RJ diversions and new prison admissions (B = -0.81, p < .001), demonstrating a near one-to-one substitution effect. The findings provide strong quantitative evidence that RJ is an effective, data-driven policy for mitigating prison overcrowding. The crisis persists not from a lack of a solution, but from a failure of consistent implementation, which must be standardized to realize its full potential.]]>
