Abstract

Vigilante punishment remains a recurring social phenomenon in Indonesia, particularly when communities perceive formal law enforcement as slow, ineffective, or disconnected from local notions of justice. Practices such as collective beating, public humiliation, forced confession, and informal punishment are often justified as necessary forms of community protection. This article examines how legal intervention should respond to community-based punishment without disregarding the social conditions that encourage vigilantism. Using a socio-legal approach, the study analyzes the interaction between formal criminal law, community norms, perceptions of justice, and informal mechanisms of social control. The analysis demonstrates that vigilantism cannot be understood solely as an individual violation of criminal law; it also reflects institutional distrust and the community's demand for immediate justice. The article argues that punitive legal intervention alone may be insufficient and can further distance communities from formal legal institutions. Its contribution lies in proposing a community-responsive model of legal intervention that combines law enforcement, restorative mechanisms, public legal education, and institutional accountability. Such an approach may strengthen access to justice while preventing community-based punishment from becoming an alternative form of unlawful social justice.

Abstract

Domestic violence in Indonesia is not merely a private family matter but a social problem shaped by cultural expectations, gender relations, economic dependency, and community attitudes. The persistent perception that domestic violence should be resolved within the family may discourage victims from seeking formal legal protection and encourage informal reconciliation even in serious cases. This article examines the limitations and challenges of legal intervention in addressing the social normalization of domestic violence within Indonesian communities. Employing a socio-legal approach, the study analyzes the relationship between the domestic violence legal framework, community-based dispute resolution, family intervention, and victims' access to justice. The study argues that the existence of legal prohibition does not automatically produce effective protection when social norms continue to prioritize family reputation, marital continuity, and social harmony over victims' safety. The article contributes to the literature by conceptualizing legal intervention as a process that must operate beyond criminal prosecution, incorporating victim-centered protection, community transformation, institutional responsiveness, and preventive legal education. It proposes a more socially embedded model of intervention capable of challenging the normalization of domestic violence while strengthening victims' autonomy and access to justice.

Abstract

The expansion of digital lending in Indonesia has transformed debt from a predominantly private financial relationship into a potential source of public social pressure. Borrowers may experience harassment, disclosure of personal information, contact with relatives or colleagues, and public shaming when repayment difficulties occur. These practices demonstrate that digital lending can generate social harms that extend beyond contractual disputes and financial loss. This article examines how legal intervention can address the social consequences of abusive digital lending practices in Indonesia. Using a socio-legal approach, the study analyzes the interaction between consumer protection, personal data protection, financial regulation, and the social dynamics of debt collection. The article argues that conventional legal responses focused on contractual obligations and financial compliance are inadequate when debt collection produces humiliation, reputational damage, and social exclusion. Its principal contribution is to reposition abusive debt collection as a broader social and legal problem rather than merely a financial dispute. The study proposes an integrated model of legal intervention combining regulatory enforcement, data protection, accessible complaint mechanisms, and stronger safeguards for vulnerable borrowers, thereby connecting financial regulation with the protection of human dignity in digital society.

Abstract

Child marriage persists in Indonesia despite legal reforms intended to raise the minimum marriage age and strengthen children's protection. In many communities, decisions to marry children are influenced by family honor, pregnancy outside marriage, economic hardship, religious interpretations, and concerns about social stigma. This article examines why formal legal intervention has not fully displaced the social practices that sustain child marriage and how law can respond more effectively to these underlying conditions. Through a socio-legal approach, the study explores the interaction between marriage regulation, child protection, family decision-making, community norms, and judicial mechanisms for marriage dispensation. The analysis argues that legal prohibition alone is insufficient when families and communities perceive early marriage as a legitimate solution to social and economic problems. The article contributes by shifting the analysis of child marriage from regulatory compliance toward the effectiveness of law as a form of social intervention. It proposes a multidimensional approach involving stricter judicial scrutiny, community-based prevention, reproductive and legal education, socioeconomic support, and child-centered decision-making. Such intervention is necessary to ensure that legal protection addresses not only the occurrence of child marriage but also the social structures that reproduce it.

Abstract

Customary and community-based sanctions continue to play an important role in regulating social behavior in Indonesian villages. Public reprimands, exclusion from community activities, informal fines, social boycotts, and other forms of customary punishment may contribute to social order, yet they can also produce disproportionate consequences and undermine individual rights. This article examines the boundaries between legitimate community-based social control and unlawful forms of social exclusion, focusing on the role of state law as an instrument of legal intervention. Adopting a socio-legal approach, the study analyzes the interaction between customary norms, village governance, social expectations, and national legal standards concerning equality, dignity, and access to justice. The article argues that the state's response should neither automatically suppress customary mechanisms nor uncritically legitimize them. Instead, legal intervention should establish substantive boundaries that distinguish socially legitimate dispute resolution from coercive, discriminatory, or degrading punishment. The contribution of this study lies in developing a framework for legally responsive pluralism in village governance, whereby customary practices may coexist with state law while remaining subject to fundamental rights and procedural safeguards.
