Criminalization in criminal law should function to limit actions that harm society legally and proportionally, but excessive criminalization can ignore the principles of justice and legality. A striking gap arises when the law is used not to protect rights, but to expand state control over individual freedom through repressive and multi-interpretable articles. This study uses a qualitative research method with a conceptual approach. The data collection method was collected using library research, then analyzed using qualitative methods and presented descriptively. The results of the study show that unlimited criminalization reflects an abuse of power that moves criminal law away from its protective function towards an instrument of repression that exacerbates inequality and weakens legal legitimacy. To return criminal law to its fair function, legislative reform is needed based on transparency, participation, and a non-penal approach that prevents state domination over individual rights.

This study examines the application of the retroactive principle in the issuance of State Administrative Decisions (KTUN) by regional administrative officials amid digitalization in public services. The research aims to examine the legal basis of retroactive application within administrative law and to identify appropriate mechanisms to ensure its benefit for public administration and society. Using a normative juridical method with statutory and conceptual approaches, the research is supported by literature studies on legal documents and regulations. The findings indicate that, under Indonesian administrative law, the retroactive application of KTUN is legally permissible if it meets specific conditions outlined in the Law on Government Administration—primarily to prevent greater harm and/or to protect citizens’ rights. Retroactive KTUN may address discrepancies between the timing of decision issuance and actual administrative activities, especially in a digital governance environment. The study concludes that to ensure legal certainty and accountability, such application must be based on formal mechanisms, including the development of standard operating procedures (SOPs) and the issuance of regional head regulations as normative foundations. These measures are essential to institutionalize retroactive KTUN and ensure its use aligns with principles of legal certainty, public benefit, and good governance in regional government administration.
