Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of market governance and the implementation of affirmative policies for Indigenous Papuan traders (OAP) at the Sorong City Central Market in 2026. Using a mixed methods approach with a sequential explanatory design, quantitative data were collected through a survey of 90 OAP trader respondents, followed by in-depth interviews with key informants from government elements and community leaders. The study results show a high level of trader dissatisfaction (58.7%), particularly regarding trade zoning and price protection. Qualitative findings reveal that affirmative policies remain administrative in nature and fail to address spatial marginalization, placing OAP traders in low-accessibility areas. This study recommends restructuring market zoning to be more equitable, standardizing local commodity prices, and digitizing trader data to ensure that Special Autonomy policies are on target. By addressing these core issues, it is hoped that the market environment in Sorong City will be more inclusive and supportive of OAP traders, fostering economic empowerment in line with the goals of Special Autonomy.

Abstract

The advancement of information technology has rapidly transformed trading patterns in Indonesia, shifting from conventional transactions to online transactions through marketplace platforms. On one hand, this transformation provides convenience and efficiency for both businesses and consumers. On the other hand, it has also given rise to various legal issues, particularly regarding consumer protection. This article aims to examine how legal protection for consumers is implemented in electronic sales agreements on marketplaces, while also identifying the obstacles encountered during its implementation. The study employs a normative juridical approach, using conceptual analysis and legislative review, supplemented by empirical data obtained from interviews. As described, legal protection for consumers in electronic transactions in Indonesia remains suboptimal. Specifically, these challenges include biased law enforcement, low levels of consumer literacy, and ineffective dispute resolution mechanisms. In practice, marketplaces have incorporated consumer protection features such as escrow systems, refund mechanisms, and complaint centers; however, their implementation still suffers from limited transparency and effectiveness. Furthermore, existing regulations are slow to respond to the dynamics of cross-border transactions and ongoing digital innovations. Therefore, comprehensive regulatory reform, stronger enforcement, and enhanced legal and digital literacy among the public are necessary to ensure effective consumer protection.

Abstract

This study explores the phenomenon of abuse of authority in the investigation stage of corruption cases, focusing on various violations of practices, causative factors, and implications for justice and legal certainty. The study uses a normative juridical approach through the study of laws and regulations, legal doctrine, and empirical literature to build a comprehensive and systematic analysis. The findings indicate that oversight gaps, weak institutional control, and low integrity of the authorities are the main triggers for actions that go beyond authority, which in turn reduces the effectiveness of evidence and lowers public trust in law enforcement institutions. In addition, the lack of transparency and accountability mechanisms further exacerbates the risk of procedural violations during the investigation process. These conditions can potentially undermine the principles of due process of law and fairness in the criminal justice system. To address this problem, it is necessary to improve internal and external control mechanisms, strengthen supervision by independent institutions, and ensure the consistent implementation of disciplinary measures and legal sanctions against violators. By reinforcing these efforts, it is expected that law enforcement agencies can enhance professionalism, maintain integrity, and restore public confidence in handling corruption cases.

Abstract

Drug abuse in Indonesia has reached an alarming level and has become a complex legal and health problem. This study aims to examine the criminal law policy applied to drug abusers from a health perspective, with a focus on the rehabilitative approach as an alternative to punishment. The method used is normative legal research with a statute approach and a conceptual approach, through a literature study of laws and regulations, court decisions, and relevant scientific literature. The results of the study indicate that Law Number 35 of 2009 concerning Narcotics contains a dualistic approach, namely punishment (penal) and rehabilitation (non-penal), but its implementation still tends towards imprisonment. From a health perspective, drug abuse is an addictive disorder that requires a medical and psychosocial approach, not solely a criminal repressive approach. An ideal criminal law policy should combine proportional criminal sanctions with a comprehensive medical and social rehabilitation program. This study recommends policy reforms that are more oriented towards the health recovery of drug abusers without neglecting the aspect of law enforcement against drug dealers and traffickers.

Abstract

Money laundering is a derivative crime that is frequently associated with corruption and has the potential to cause significant losses to state finances. Efforts to recover assets derived from criminal activities constitute an essential aspect of law enforcement aimed at restoring state losses and creating a deterrent effect for perpetrators. This study aims to analyze the authority of public prosecutors in the investigation of money laundering crimes as well as the mechanisms for state asset recovery based on the authority of the Indonesian Attorney General’s Office. The research method employed is normative juridical research using statutory and case approaches. The results of this study indicate that the Attorney General’s Office possesses clear and legally valid authority to conduct investigations into money laundering crimes as regulated under Law Number 8 of 2010 concerning the Prevention and Eradication of Money Laundering and the Law on the Attorney General’s Office. Prosecutors are authorized to trace, seize, confiscate, and recover assets derived from criminal acts without first proving the predicate offense. This study further emphasizes that although the authority of the Attorney General’s Office has been normatively regulated, in practice, state asset recovery continues to face various obstacles, both in substantive and procedural law, such as inconsistencies in statutory regulations and the suboptimal implementation of non-conviction-based asset forfeiture. Therefore, strengthening regulations and harmonizing legal policies are necessary to ensure that state asset recovery through the handling of money laundering crimes can be carried out more effectively and provide legal certainty.

Abstract

Brawls in West Java represent a persistent form of collective street crime that threatens public order, child protection, and police legitimacy. This article examines Samapta’s legal role in preventing brawls and identifies barriers affecting its implementation. Using empirical juridical research with statutory, conceptual, and socio-legal approaches, the study collects primary data through interviews, operational observations, and institutional documents from the West Java Regional Police, supported by secondary legal and academic sources. Data were analyzed qualitatively using authority theory and Soerjono Soekanto’s five-factor model of legal effectiveness, with triangulation to strengthen validity. The findings indicate that Samapta’s authority is normatively comprehensive based on police laws, organizational regulations, and operational procedures. However, implementation remains uneven due to the dominance of repressive measures, limited resources, communication constraints, and weak post-operation accountability. Barriers involve legal substance, personnel capacity, facilities, community participation, and violent subcultures. The study argues that brawl control requires a shift from incident suppression toward preventive governance through procedural accountability, integrated communication, community-based early warning systems, peace education, and responsive police regulations. This article proposes an ecosystem model integrating patrol, crowd control, public trust, and cultural transformation as interconnected elements of street-crime governance.

Abstract

Pursuing narcotics suspects places police officers in rapid, risky, and rights-sensitive situations. Police law recognizes discretion, yet pursuit rules remain insufficiently detailed. This regulatory gap creates tension among effective narcotics enforcement, public safety, and accountability for coercive police conduct within the West Java Regional Police. This article analyzes the legality of pursuit discretion in narcotics cases and the legal accountability of narcotics investigators using normative and empirical perspectives. The study applies a juridical-empirical approach with descriptive-analytical specifications. Primary data were obtained through interviews, limited observation, and operational document review, while secondary data consisted of legislation, legal literature, court decisions, and institutional reports. Data were analyzed qualitatively through reduction, thematic categorization, source triangulation, and normative interpretation based on Philipus M. Hadjon's authority theory and Hans Kelsen's legal certainty theory. The findings show that pursuit discretion derives from statutory attribution under the Police Law and appears in four forms: deciding whether to pursue, selecting pursuit methods, using force, and assessing *in flagrante delicto* situations. However, the concepts of public interest and urgent necessity remain operationally vague, making the limits of authority and accountability insufficiently predictable. The study recommends a specific National Police Regulation on pursuit, scenario-based standard operating procedures, discretion and human-rights training, mandatory documentation, and coordinated internal and external oversight. The originality of this study lies in positioning narcotics pursuit discretion as an independent category of police action rather than merely part of arrest or firearms use.

Abstract

Enforcement of the Police Professional Code of Ethics is a measure of institutional accountability after the issuance of Police Regulation Number 7 of 2022. In West Java, rising ethics cases and sanctions reveal a need to assess gaps among normative procedures, examination practice, transparency, timeliness, and parties' rights.This article analyzes the conformity of KEPP examinations by West Java Bidpropam and formulates obstacles and optimization strategies under Regulation 7/2022. The study applies an empirical juridical approach with descriptive-analytical specification. Data were obtained from Police Regulation Number 7 of 2022, the Police Law, scholarly literature, KEPP case data, and field findings compiled in the thesis. The analysis is qualitative, using Hans Kelsen's legal certainty theory and Soerjono Soekanto's law enforcement theory to compare norms, practice, obstacles, and reform recommendations. Validity was strengthened through source, document, observation, and legal triangulation. The study finds that KEPP examinations follow normative stages: complaint receipt, preliminary examination, case filing, KKEP hearing, and appeal. Nevertheless, legal certainty remains suboptimal because consistency, compliance with the 30-day period, information transparency, and the rights of examined officers and complainants are not yet fully substantive. The main obstacles concern legal rules, examiners, facilities, public trust, and organizational culture. Their interaction makes delays and bias difficult to solve separately. These findings require KEPP examination reform beyond administrative compliance. The Police should strengthen SOPs, procedural sanctions, case digitalization, examiner competence, complainant protection, and internal-external oversight to restore public trust and ensure transparent, objective, accountable, and fair examinations for affected and involved parties. The article's originality lies in an empirical juridical analysis combining legal certainty and law enforcement theories to assess not only procedural existence but also implementation quality. Its focus on West Java Bidpropam offers locus-based evidence and recommendations for implementing Police Regulation Number 7 of 2022 in ethics reform.

Abstract

Village assets constitute vital economic resources for village autonomy and community welfare. However, legal responsibilities of Village Heads in managing these assets often encounter obstacles, ranging from lack of administrative compliance to misuse of authority. This study aims to analyze the construction of legal responsibility of Village Heads in managing village assets according to Law No. 6 of 2014 concerning Villages and its implementing regulations, and to examine the implementation of these responsibilities in practice along with constitutional implications. The research employs a doctrinal legal approach with conceptual orientation, placing legal doctrines and expert opinions as primary materials and legislation as secondary materials. The analysis uses four theoretical frameworks: Decentralization Theory, Authority Theory, Legal Responsibility Theory, and Constitutional Theory. The findings indicate that Village Heads possess attributive authority as holders of village asset management power, but this authority is accompanied by strict legal responsibilities, both administratively and civilly-criminally. Implementation faces challenges including regulatory comprehension gaps, weak supervision, and lack of public participation. Constitutional analysis reveals that irresponsible management contradicts the mandate of Article 18 of the 1945 Constitution and the welfare goals in the Preamble. Strengthening supervision mechanisms, increasing human resource capacity, and enhancing public participation are necessary to ensure village asset management aligns with constitutional principles.

Abstract

The rapid expansion of algorithm-driven digital platforms has transformed the relationship between the state, citizens, and private technology companies, creating constitutional challenges beyond conventional constitutional law. Algorithmic governance increasingly enables private platforms to influence freedom of expression, privacy, access to information, and other constitutional rights, prompting the emergence of Digital Constitutionalism. However, existing scholarship largely emphasizes European and North American perspectives, while Indonesia remains underexplored. This study examines how the rule of law should be reinterpreted to address the constitutional implications of algorithmic governance in Indonesia. Using normative legal research with constitutional, statutory, conceptual, and comparative approaches, it analyzes constitutional provisions, legislation, judicial decisions, international legal instruments, and academic literature. The findings show that Indonesia's constitutional framework still focuses on state–citizen relations, despite the growing constitutional influence of digital platforms. Therefore, rule of law principles—including legality, legal certainty, due process, transparency, accountability, and equality before the law—should be reconstructed to accommodate algorithmic governance. The study proposes an Indonesian Digital Constitutionalism Framework that strengthens constitutional protection of digital human rights while providing guidance for constitutional reform, digital governance regulation, and democratic accountability in the digital era.
