Abstract

Sexual harassment committed by minors, particularly in the form of breast-grabbing, is a complex phenomenon due to the offender’s ongoing psychosocial development. The legal handling of such cases requires not only a repressive approach but also the application of restorative justice through diversion mechanisms. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of diversion in resolving a breast-grabbing case committed by a minor in Semarang. This research uses a juridical-empirical method with a qualitative approach, focusing on a case study at the Class I Correctional Center (Bapas) in Semarang. Data were collected through interviews and the analysis of legal documents related to the diversion process. The findings indicate that the diversion was conducted in accordance with legal provisions and resulted in an agreement involving an apology, financial compensation, and a commitment to rehabilitate the offender. However, the study also identifies limitations in the victim’s recovery and the continuity of the offender’s rehabilitation. It further questions whether justice is truly achieved when the victim remains psychologically affected, and highlights the risk of behavioral normalization if rehabilitation is not effectively implemented. Therefore, the effectiveness of diversion in sexual offense cases should be understood not only from a procedural standpoint but also in terms of achieving substantive justice for all parties involved.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the implementation of the restorative justice approach in handling theft offenses committed by minors within the jurisdiction of the Klaten Police Resort, Central Java. The research employs an empirical juridical method, collecting data through interviews and a literature review. The findings reveal that Law No. 11 of 2012 concerning the Juvenile Criminal Justice System provides the legal foundation for applying restorative justice at every stage of the juvenile criminal process, including the investigation phase. The Klaten Police implement diversion through deliberative meetings involving the offender, the victim, their families, and community counselors, taking into account humanitarian considerations and the best interests of the child. Non-litigation settlement is prioritized in the law enforcement process involving juvenile offenders and is supported by active community participation and the flexibility of law enforcement officers in facilitating restorative processes. The study implies that the application of restorative justice by law enforcement officers can foster a sense of fairness and justice for children, both as offenders and as victims of crime.

Abstract

Advancements in cognitive neuroscience are increasingly challenging traditional legal concepts of free will, intent, and individual culpability. In Indonesia, criminal liability remains grounded in classical legal doctrines that emphasize moral agency, raising critical questions about their compatibility with contemporary neuroethical insights. This article examines trauma, impulse control disorders, and cognitive dysfunction in criminal behavior from a neuroethical perspective, which can provide a more contextual understanding of criminal behavior in the Indonesian legal system. Using a qualitative normative method, this study combines doctrinal legal analysis with interdisciplinary approaches from neuroethics and moral psychology and compares jurisdictions that have recognized neuroscientific evidence in the criminal justice process. Using a qualitative normative method, this research integrates doctrinal legal analysis with interdisciplinary approaches from neuroethics and moral psychology, drawing comparative insights from jurisdictions that admit neuroscientific evidence in criminal adjudication. The study finds that although Indonesian law acknowledges mental incapacity in certain sentencing provisions, it lacks a consistent framework to assess neurocognitive impairments in determining guilt and punishment. As a result, current legal mechanisms may fail to adequately reflect the complex biological and moral dimensions of deviant conduct. This study concludes that integrating neuroethical considerations into Indonesian criminal law could improve its fairness, scientific relevance, and humaneness.

Abstract

Restorative Justice is increasingly adopted to overcome the limitations of retributive punishment, which emphasizes inflicting suffering on offenders. However, a fundamental theoretical debate remains regarding the ontological status of Restorative Justice: whether it is merely a non-penal mechanism outside the concept of punishment or a transformative form of punishment within the modern penal framework. This research examines this debate by determining the proper positioning of Restorative Justice in modern sentencing policy. The purpose of this study is to reconstruct the penal paradigm by integrating restorative, utilitarian, and moral-communitarian values into a more humane and inclusive system of punishment. Using normative legal research with a conceptual approach, this study analyzes theories, legislation, and judicial practices related to Restorative Justice in Indonesia. The findings suggest that Restorative Justice still retains punitive elements, as offenders are required to acknowledge wrongdoing and repair the harm. Consequently, Restorative Justice ought not to be classified as an exclusively non-penal mechanism but rather as an evolution of punishment that prioritizes reconciliation, moral accountability, and social restoration. This study concludes that Restorative Justice represents the new face of punishment, where the ultimate aim is no longer solely retribution but the restoration of social balance and substantive justice for victims, offenders, and society.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the practice of forced marriage in Batobella Village from the perspectives of Islamic law, custom, and human rights, with a focus on the principles of consent, social control mechanisms, and legal implications. This study examines the interaction between customary norms, religious law, and positive law with a focus on the principles of legitimacy, social dynamics, and opportunities for policy intervention that align with the maqāṣid al-sharīʿah. The research method employs a qualitative case study approach, utilizing data collection techniques that include in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document analysis. The informants consisted of traditional leaders, religious figures, victims, families, and youth. Data analysis was conducted thematically to identify patterns and relationships between variables, integrating comparative fiqh perspectives across schools of thot with field findings. Research in Batobella Village shows that forced marriage practices still persist as a mechanism for resolving violations of customary norms, with decisions often made unilaterally by families and traditional leaders without considering the bride's consent. Social pressure, stigma, and the threat of exclusion make it difficult for victims to refuse. Most marriages are not registered at the KUA, which weakens their legal protection. The role of religious figures is often compromised in favor of custom for the sake of social cohesion. Although some young people are starting to reject this practice, their views are still in the minority and are hindered by the dominant customary authority in marriage decisions.

Abstract

Criminal acts of corruption in the Indonesian Army's Mandatory Housing Savings Program (TWP TNI AD) are an example of a case involving both military and civilian legal subjects, triggering complex challenges in law enforcement in Indonesia. This study aims to examine the mechanisms for handling cases of connected criminal acts of corruption and the legal considerations in sentencing perpetrators based on the Jakarta High Military Court II Verdict Number 21-K/PMT-II/AD/II/2022. The research method employs a normative approach, analyzing relevant laws, legal doctrines, and jurisprudence. The results of the study show that cases are handled collaboratively between military and civilian institutions through the stages of investigation, inquiry, determination of the judicial forum, prosecution, and trial. The court's verdict confirmed that the defendants had been proven to have committed corruption together and continuously, resulting in state losses of Rp 127 billion, with sentences of imprisonment, fines, and restitution obligations. This study demonstrates the effectiveness of the connected justice system in ensuring justice and recovery of state losses, while also making an important contribution to the eradication of corruption in the military.

Abstract

State-owned banks play a strategic role in maintaining national economic stability by collecting and distributing public funds. However, lending activities often face the risk of fraud, which can erode public trust and compromise the institution's integrity. This study examines the consistency of applying the principle of prudence in the credit-granting process at state-owned banks and its relevance in preventing fraud. The main issues raised are the continued existence of credit procedure irregularities and weak internal supervision, despite the principle of prudence being clearly regulated in banking regulations. This study aims to analyze how the consistent application of prudential banking principles can prevent potential fraud in the credit-granting process at state-owned banks. The research method employed was a normative juridical approach with a qualitative orientation, involving the collection and analysis of literature reviews through library research, supplemented by interviews with state-owned banks to support the research. The study's results show that fraud often occurs due to weak internal controls, a low culture of compliance, and limited technological infrastructure. The application of prudential banking principles combined with a Good Corporate Governance (GCG) framework, ISO 31000-based risk management, and the support of digital monitoring innovations such as audit trails and early warning systems is intended to strengthen credit risk control. The integration of these policies not only highlights the potential for irregularities but also ensures that credit decisions for prospective borrowers are made in a transparent, accountable manner and in accordance with prudent banking principles.

Abstract

The policy of imposing excise tax on Sugar-Sweetened Beverages is a strategic measure to reduce the growing incidence of Non-Communicable Diseases in Indonesia, particularly diabetes and obesity linked to the consumption of sugary drinks. The yearly increase in SSBs consumption harms public health and imposes a significant financial burden on the state, especially through the Social Health Security Administering Body (BPJS). Therefore, firm legal intervention is needed to limit consumption and promote a healthier lifestyle. The implementation of excise taxes on sugar-sweetened beverages should not be viewed merely as a fiscal instrument to boost revenue, but also as a means of protecting the public’s right to live a healthy and productive life. This policy must be understood as part of a broader public health strategy rather than solely an economic measure. Moreover, the policy is expected to encourage industries to reformulate their products into healthier alternatives to avoid excise taxation.

Abstract

This research is motivated by the weak deterrent effect on corruption perpetrators in Indonesia, where imprisonment, fines, and compensation have not been able to eliminate economic benefits or recover state losses. The formulation of this research problem involves two key aspects: first, how Islamic jurisprudence views the policy of impoverishing corruptors through asset confiscation; second, how the concept and mechanism of impoverishing corruptors are applied in the Indonesian positive legal system and Islamic jurisprudence. This study employs a normative juridical approach, utilizing statutory guidelines, conceptual designs, case studies, and a comparative analysis of asset forfeiture models in Malaysia, Singapore, the UAE, and Saudi Arabia. Research findings suggest that depriving corruptors of their assets is effective in stripping them of their economic benefits, recovering state losses, and enhancing the deterrent effect. From a fiqh jinayah perspective, this policy is legitimate as a form of ta'zīr punishment that is relevant to the maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah, especially in safeguarding assets (ḥifẓ al-māl) and preventing public harm. This study emphasizes the need to strengthen asset confiscation through the ratification of the Asset Confiscation Bill and the implementation of proportional and accountable non-conviction-based asset forfeiture. The novelty of this study lies in the comprehensive integration of positive law, deterrence theory, and the principles of fiqh al-jinayah to establish moral, juridical, and Sharia legitimacy for the strategy of impoverishing corruptors.

Abstract

This article discusses the challenges and implications of applying the principle of judicial pardon rechtelijk pardon in the Indonesian legal system, by comparing similar concepts that have already been implemented in the Netherlands. This principle grants judges the discretion not to impose criminal penalties on perpetrators who are proven guilty if their actions are deemed minor, taking into account the principles of justice and humanity. This study employs a normative juridical method, utilizing a legislative, historical, conceptual, and comparative approach. The results show that the Dutch legal system has comprehensively implemented rechtelijk pardon, supported by consistent procedural law and jurisprudential practice. Conversely, the application of this principle in Indonesia still faces significant challenges due to the lack of synchronization between the substantive law in the 2023 Criminal Code and the formal law in the Criminal Procedure Code, as well as the absence of clear technical guidelines for judges to apply it. As a result, the principle of judicial pardon has the potential to become a symbolic norm without effective operationalization. This article emphasizes the importance of harmonizing the legal system and strengthening the implementation of regulations so that this principle can function optimally as an instrument of humanistic justice in national criminal law
