Abstract

Children play a vital role as future national assets, yet the rise in child delinquency highlights the limitations of Indonesia's juvenile criminal justice system. Law Number 3 of 1997 emphasizes punishment (retributive justice), which often fails to rehabilitate children or support their growth. This study aims to explore policy reforms that integrate restorative justice in addressing child delinquency. Using a normative legal approach, the study analyzes secondary data through statute and conceptual frameworks. The findings suggest that restorative justice, involving victims, perpetrators, families, and communities, is more effective in resolving child delinquency while supporting rehabilitation and development. The study concludes that legal protection for children as victims in the criminal justice system requires mandatory diversion efforts by child judges, following the SPPA Law, to promote a fair and constructive resolution process.

Abstract

Brutality and inequality in African society are common afflictions that have ravaged the continent irrespective of moral and religious inclinations. This study explores how Africans are maltreated and deprived of their rights and privileges by their leaders and political elites. The research focuses on two African plays from distinct regions where these issues resonate: Femi Osofisan's Once Upon Four Robbers (1980) and Athol Fugard's Sizwe Bansi Is Dead (1972). Both plays share common themes and adopt comparable dramatic techniques. Osofisan's work examines the injustice and brutality that the Nigerian government inflicts on many households. Robbers in the play are publicly executed without regard to human dignity, and Osofisan questions both the rationale behind these executions and the root causes of theft. Fugard was disturbed by the inhumane treatment of Black South Africans during the apartheid regime. He explores themes of oppression, death, poverty, racism, hypocrisy, and other social vices to underscore the inhumanity. Sizwe Bansi Is Dead mirrors the monstrosities of apartheid, portraying the bitterness experienced by Black Africans characterized by repressive labor policies, insecurity, slavery, and other reprehensible laws. Fugard's dramatic techniques are outstanding; he employs symbolism, irony, monologue, and collaborative efforts to communicate his message effectively. This paper aims to enhance the evaluation of these dramatic works and provide insights into issues of collaboration, revolution, treachery, injustice, and determination. The theoretical framework adopted for this study is postcolonial theory, which is relevant to the evaluation of literary representations in Nigeria and South Africa respectively.

Abstract

Wahhabi teachings originating from Saudi Arabia have grown rapidly in Indonesia and influenced the religious understanding and practices of its worshipers. This study analyses the phenomenon using Max Weber’s theory of religion as social action. In Weber’s perspective, religion not only functions as a belief system, but also influences the social action patterns of individuals and groups. This research uses a qualitative method with a literature study approach to explore how Wahhabi teachings shape the mindset and social behaviour of its followers. The results show that Wahhabi teachings tend to emphasise a more scripturalist and exclusive understanding of Islam, which has an impact on changes in social interaction in society. In addition, social actions carried out by Wahhabi worshipers are often based on absolute value orientation, as explained in Weber’s theory. This study provides insight into the role of religion in shaping social dynamics, especially in the context of Islamic diversity in Indonesia.

Abstract

This study aims to develop an Android-based application on biodiversity to enhance public understanding of biodiversity and its relevance to daily life, while promoting active community involvement in conservation efforts. The research employed a research and development (R&D) methodology using the PLOMP model, which consists of five phases: preliminary investigation, design, realization/construction, test and evaluation, and implementation. The application, titled Biodiversity Games, integrates multimedia elements to support interactive and engaging learning experiences. Validation was conducted by peer reviewers, yielding an overall validity score of 93.4%. Specifically, the display aspect achieved a score of 87.5%, the learning objectives 96.87%, and ease of use 95.83%. These results indicate that the application is highly valid and feasible for use in educational settings. The implementation phase conducted at MTs Dar El Hikmah demonstrated that students found the application accessible, engaging, and helpful in understanding biodiversity topics. Feedback also suggested that the application enhances science literacy and student motivation. Minor revisions were recommended to improve visual clarity on smaller devices. Overall, the Biodiversity Games application has strong potential as an effective digital learning tool for biodiversity education in Indonesian schools.

Abstract

The impact of Western culture on African traditions has significantly weakened the democratic norms and moral values that once united the people, causing a breakdown in social cohesion. This erosion has led to a strong resistance among Africans against any further imposition of Western ideologies, as they struggle with a lack of peace, security, unity, and love. Meanwhile, modernism asserts its superiority and dominance over African traditions and cultures, often resulting in chaos and anarchy. This paper aims to examine the ethical standards present in both African and Western cultures, advocating for values that promote hedonism, egalitarianism, peace, freedom, and justice. It analyzes Zulu Sofola's Wedlock of the Gods (1972) and Ama Ata Aidoo's The Dilemma of a Ghost (1965), which illustrate the conflict between these two cultural paradigms. These plays address traditional marriage and family dynamics, highlighting the transition from tradition to Western ideologies in the pursuit of peace and healthy relationships. The paper argues that the clash between tradition and modernity undermines humanity and should be challenged. It emphasizes the necessity of upholding individual rights and privileges to mitigate social issues such as immorality, acrimony, injustice, forced marriages, and other societal ills. Utilizing a post-colonial theoretical framework, the study is well-suited to explore the relationship between socio-cultural practices and the well-being of Africans. In conclusion, the barriers between these cultural divides should be dismantled to achieve peaceful coexistence, unity, and love.
