The problem of recidivist narcotics is a significant complex issue in Indonesia, including in Batam Class IIA Prison. This phenomenon raises concerns because of its negative impact on society and social stability. This study aims to analyze the juridical factors that encourage recidivism of narcotics crimes and identify obstacles in the implementation of rehabilitation programs in Batam Class IIA Prison. The research methods used are normative juridical and empirical sociology. The normative juridical method is used to analyze various laws and regulations that are the legal basis for handling recidivism, such as Law Number 35 of 2009 concerning Narcotics. Meanwhile, empirical sociological methods are used to collect data through interviews and direct observations in the field to understand the implementation of rehabilitation programs and social factors that contribute to recidivism. The results of the study show that weaknesses in the criminal justice system, lack of post-release support, social stigma, and an unsupportive social environment are the main factors that encourage recidivists. A justice system that focuses more on punishment than rehabilitation leads to a lack of effective rehabilitation programs. Minimal post-liberation support, such as difficulty finding work and housing, also contributes to high rates of recidivism. Social stigma and discrimination exacerbate the condition of ex-convicts, hindering them from reintegrating into society. An unstable social environment, especially one with easy access to narcotics, is also a driving factor for recidivism. Based on these findings, this study provides several suggestions, including increasing the number and quality of professionals in the field of rehabilitation, adjusting skills training programs to be relevant to the needs of the job market, and closer cooperation between law enforcement agencies, the government, and the community in supporting the reintegration of former prisoners. It is hoped that these suggestions can help reduce recidivism rates and increase the effectiveness of the penitentiary system in Indonesia.  

This study examines the influence of monetary policy, particularly interest rates, on economic stability in the TIMI countries (Thailand, India, Malaysia, and Indonesia). It underscores the vital role of interest rates in controlling inflation and stimulating economic growth. Utilizing a Vector Autoregression (VAR) model, the research analyzes the reciprocal relationships between crucial economic indicators such as GDP, CPI, exchange rates, consumption, interest rates, and trade balances from 2008 to 2022. For instance, adjustments in interest rates can influence investment levels, consumption patterns, and inflation rates, thereby affecting overall economic activity. The Granger causality tests indicate that short-term relationships between these variables are insignificant, but long-term interactions are evident. This supports the Johansen cointegration results, which confirm two cointegrated equations at the 5% significance level. The study emphasizes maintaining interest rate stability for sustainable economic growth and price stability. It highlights that fluctuations in interest rates, influenced by global economic conditions and domestic economic policies, play a crucial role in the economic performance of TIMI countries. Recommendations for central banCM include implementing responsive and adaptive interest rate policies to manage inflation, foster economic growth, and maintain exchange rate stability. This approach is essential for addressing disparities in income, education, healthcare, and technology access, which are critical for equitable economic development. In conclusion, this research underscores the importance of a nuanced understanding of monetary policy's impact on economic stability and the need for coordinated efforts between fiscal and monetary authorities to achieve long-term

The validity of voting results depends on various factors, one of which is the completeness and validity of the ballot paper, which is one of the important elements in elections that voters use to mark their choices. Based on the circular letter of the Tanjungpinang City General Election Supervisory Agency (Bawaslu) Number: 136/PM.00.02/K.KR-06/02/2024 there were 2 TPS taking place at TPS 006 and TPS 015 there were 115 x 5 ballot papers that were not signed by KPPS so that the ballot box is open during voting, raising questions regarding its validity and the potential for fraud in the voting process. This research aims to analyze the consequences of not signing the ballot paper and its impact on the validity of the voting results, as well as the conditions for re-voting. The research method that researchers use is normative juridical, namely based on basic legal materials. This research was conducted by examining theories, concepts, legal principles and laws and regulations that are relevant to this research topic. The research results show that there are several factors that cause ballot papers not to be signed, including KPPS negligence, lack of socialization, and misinterpretation of regulations. Thus, re-voting is a step that can be taken to ensure the validity and legitimacy of voting results by considering various factors, including the number of unsigned ballot papers, the potential for fraud, and the impact on democratic stability.  

The banking industry has a crucial role in maintaining the balance of development and economic integrity of a country. Banks act as depositories and distributors of liquidity funds which are essential for the sustainability of economic activities. To carry out this function effectively, strict regulations and supervision are needed. As well as guaranteeing customer deposits to ensure healthy and sustainable bank operations. The financial crisis that occurred in 1997 in Indonesia showed structural weaknesses in the banking system, including ineffective supervision and weak bank management. The government responded with a Banking Guarantee program (Blanket Guarenteen), but this program faced various problems and was not continued. As a solution, the Deposit Insurance Corporation (LPS) was formed through Law Number 24 of 2004, which aims to increase public confidence in the banking system and maintain financial system stability. This research aims to analyze the role of LPS in dealing with failed banks and the effectiveness of banking regulations in preventing future financial crises. The results of the analysis are expected to provide policy recommendations to strengthen the stability of the banking system.
