Abstract

Narcotics abuse is a serious problem that affects individual health and disrupts public order and social stability. Although narcotics have benefits in health services, scientific development, and research, their abuse causes dependence and therefore requires treatment through medical rehabilitation and social rehabilitation. Law Number 35 of 2009 concerning Narcotics stipulates that addicts and victims of narcotics abuse are required to undergo rehabilitation. In the correctional context, rehabilitation is an important part of the guidance process for inmates involved in narcotics cases so that they can recover and reintegrate into society. This study aims to analyze the implementation of rehabilitation for narcotics-abusing inmates at Class IIB Tebing Tinggi Correctional Institution, identify the obstacles encountered in its implementation, and formulate efforts to optimize its implementation. This research uses an empirical legal research method with a descriptive qualitative approach through literature study and field research. The results show that rehabilitation is carried out through cooperation between the correctional institution and the National Narcotics Agency in the form of anti-narcotics counseling, skills training, medical rehabilitation, social rehabilitation, and increased supervision. However, the implementation of rehabilitation still faces various obstacles, such as limited medical personnel, inadequate facilities, and overcrowded prison conditions. Therefore, coordination between institutions, improved human resource capacity, rehabilitation infrastructure development, and sustainable policy support are needed to optimize the recovery of inmates who abuse narcotics.   Keywords: narcotics rehabilitation, inmates, correctional institution, narcotics abuse, correctional system.

Abstract

The implementation of the regional autonomy system in Indonesia is a decentralization policy that aims to grant authority to regional governments to regulate and manage government affairs in accordance with the potential and needs of local communities. This policy is expected to improve the effectiveness of government administration, accelerate regional development, and realize regional independence in various aspects, including economic, social, and government administration. This study aims to analyze the advantages and disadvantages of the implementation of the regional autonomy system on the independence of a region by emphasizing the concepts of regional autonomy and regional independence, the benefits of implementing regional autonomy, and the challenges faced in its implementation. The research method used is normative legal research with a statutory and conceptual approach. Research data were obtained through literature studies covering primary legal materials, secondary legal materials, and tertiary legal materials, then analyzed qualitatively to gain a comprehensive understanding of the implementation of regional autonomy in Indonesia. The results of the study indicate that the implementation of the regional autonomy system provides various benefits for increasing regional independence. The authority held by regional governments allows for the formulation of policies that are more responsive to community needs, the development of local potential, improving the quality of public services, and optimizing the management of regional resources and revenues. In addition, regional autonomy encourages government innovation and strengthens community participation in the development process, thereby increasing regional competitiveness. However, the implementation of regional autonomy also faces a number of weaknesses and challenges, including capacity disparities between regions, limited human resources, fiscal dependence on the central government, overlapping regulations, and the potential for abuse of authority that can hinder the optimal realization of regional independence. This study concludes that the success of the regional autonomy system in realizing regional independence is greatly influenced by the quality of governance, institutional capacity, accountable financial management, and synergy between the central and regional governments. Therefore, strengthening regulations, improving the competence of apparatus, effective oversight, and community empowerment are needed so that the benefits of regional autonomy can be felt evenly and sustainably in supporting national development.

Abstract

The discourse on revising Law Number 31 of 1997 concerning Military Justice is gaining momentum. Various opinions have emerged, presenting compelling reasons for the law's amendment. The Law on Military Justice was enacted during the New Order regime, which was rife with the political interests of the ruling elite. Furthermore, the substance of the law is no longer in line with legal developments in society, particularly regarding the authority of military courts, which are considered too absolute. The revision of this law must emphasize the implementation of military justice based on internal military violations. Crimes classified as general crimes, including war crimes, corruption, and human rights violations, must be tried in general courts. Keywords: urgency, change, military justice, Indonesian National Armed Forces.

Abstract

The determination of suspects as part of a forced effort in Law Number 20 of 2025 demands stricter restrictions on the scope of investigators' assessments, especially after the expansion of the type of evidence and the absence of judicial control before the determination is made. This study aims to analyze the limits of police investigators' discretion in determining suspects, the implications of expanding evidence, and the adequacy of pretrial as a protection mechanism based on the principle of due process of law. The research uses normative legal methods that are descriptive-analytical and prescriptive, with legislative and conceptual approaches. Legal materials are collected through literature studies and document studies, then analyzed qualitatively. The results of the study show that the requirement of a minimum of two pieces of evidence is not enough to be assessed based on the number, but must include the validity of the acquisition, authenticity, reliability, relevance, suitability between evidence, and the relationship of evidence with the crime and the person determined. The discretion of the investigator is not a free authority, but is limited by legality, purpose of investigation, procedure, presumption of innocence, proportionality, reasonable, and effective supervision. Pretrial remains important as judicial control after the determination of the suspect, but the examination needs to include the validity and relevance of the evidence without entering into a misdemeanor. Keywords: Investigator Discretion, Suspect Determination, Due Process of Law, Pretrial.

Abstract

The Child Special Development Institution (LPKA) has an important role in providing guidance for children in conflict with the law as an effort to prevent the repetition of criminal acts (recidivism). This study aims to analyze the role of the Child Special Development Institution (LPKA) in conducting guidance for children in conflict with the law and to identify the obstacles faced in the implementation of such guidance at LPKA Class I Medan. This research uses an empirical juridical approach with a qualitative method. Data were obtained through interviews, observations, and literature studies related to the implementation of guidance programs for children at LPKA Class I Medan. The results of this study show that LPKA plays a significant role in the development of children through various programs such as personality development, education, vocational skills training, religious guidance, and social reintegration programs. These programs aim to improve the behavior and mentality of children so that they are able to reintegrate into society and avoid repeating criminal acts. However, in its implementation there are several obstacles, including limited facilities and infrastructure, a shortage of professional human resources, and the diverse backgrounds of the children. Therefore, improvements in facilities, infrastructure, and institutional capacity are necessary to optimize the guidance process.   Keywords: hild Special Development Institution (LPKA), children in conflict with the law, guidance, recidivism prevention, criminal acts.

Abstract

The development of information technology has increased the intensity of the use of personal data in various activities through electronic media, but on the other hand, it has also given rise to various violations of privacy rights due to the use of personal data without the owner's consent. Although Indonesia has Law Number 27 of 2022 concerning Personal Data Protection and Law Number 1 of 2024 concerning the Second Amendment to Law Number 11 of 2008 concerning Electronic Information and Transactions, the effectiveness of law enforcement still faces various challenges. This study aims to analyze law enforcement against violations of privacy rights due to the use of personal data without consent in electronic media, based on Indonesian positive law, and to formulate an ideal concept of law enforcement to realize public legal awareness. This study uses an empirical juridical legal research method with a statutory approach, a conceptual approach, and an empirical approach. Data were obtained through literature studies and interviews with academics and law enforcement practitioners, then analyzed qualitatively using Lawrence M. Friedman's legal system theory, Soerjono Soekanto's theory of legal effectiveness and legal awareness, and Hans Kelsen's theory of legal norms. The results of the study indicate that law enforcement against violations of privacy rights has an adequate normative basis, but its implementation is not optimal due to the lack of harmonization of regulations, the limited capacity of law enforcement officers, the complexity of electronic evidence, and low public legal awareness. This study offers an ideal concept of law enforcement through strengthening legal substance, legal structure, and legal culture in an integrated manner as a law enforcement model that is not only oriented towards enforcement, but also on building public legal awareness in protecting personal data in the digital era. Keywords: Law Enforcement, Privacy Rights, Personal Data, Personal Data Protection, Legal Awareness.
