The enactment of Law Number 1 of 2023 concerning the Criminal Code (KUHP) marks a historic milestone in the reform of Indonesia's criminal law system. This study examines the fundamental changes from the old Criminal Code (Wetboek van Strafrecht) to the new National Criminal Code, focusing on the paradigm shift from retributive justice to restorative justice as a form of law enforcement reform. Using a normative juridical method with a statutory and comparative approach, the study analyzes the philosophical, structural, and substantive transformation embedded in the new Criminal Code. The findings indicate that the new Criminal Code introduces significant reforms including the adoption of the dualistic theory separating criminal acts from criminal liability, the recognition of living law, the expansion of criminal subjects to include corporations, the formulation of sentencing guidelines based on restorative principles, and the integration of Pancasila values as the moral foundation of the criminal law system. The case of corruption prosecution involving the Chromebook laptop procurement at the Ministry of Education illustrates the ongoing challenges of criminal law enforcement during this transitional period. This research concludes that the transition from the old to the new Criminal Code constitutes a comprehensive legal reform that transforms not only normative substance but also the fundamental paradigm of criminal law enforcement in Indonesia

This study aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of Predictive Policing and its implications for law enforcement transformation in Indonesia, based on an extensive review of its global applications, benefits, and challenges. The study uses qualitative literature and international case study review methods to assess the impact and complexity of implementing digital technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, and big data analytics within a Predictive Policing framework. The results of this review highlight that while Predictive Policing offers significant potential for proactive crime prevention and increased operational efficiency, its implementation is consistently fraught with critical legal, ethical, and technical challenges, including regulatory gaps, risks of algorithmic bias, and data privacy concerns, which are particularly relevant to Indonesia. The findings underscore that public trust and police legitimacy in the context of adopting such technologies are strongly influenced by transparency, strong accountability mechanisms, and community involvement in shaping their use. This study contributes to the growing discourse on digital policing in developing countries and culminates in practical policy recommendations designed to guide the Indonesian police towards the development and implementation of Predictive Policing models that are effective, efficient, and fundamentally respectful of legal and human rights principles.

The purpose of this study is to analyze Mohammed Ghaly's thoughts from a theological and legal perspective on disability and its implications for social inclusion. This research uses a qualitative approach based on literature studies with in-depth analysis of primary Islamic sources such as the Qur'an, hadith, and tafsir, kalam, and fiqh literature from various periods. Ghaly seeks to reveal the normative attitude of this religion towards persons with disabilities and its implications for social inclusion. The analysis utilizes contemporary disability studies to examine Ghaly's concepts in Islamic theology and law regarding the inherent nature and fundamental rights of persons with disabilities. However, he also emphasizes the need for new interpretations and contextualizations of this textual heritage based on the values of justice, inclusion, and empowerment. The findings of this study show that there is a stigma associated with disability due to the conflict between Islamic idealism and social reality. Nevertheless, the main principles and laws of Islam provide strong normative guidance for the dignity of persons with disabilities.

Qanun Jinayah Aceh is a form of application of Islamic law in the regional legal system which is based on the principle of amar ma'ruf nahi munkar. This principle aims to uphold moral values ​​and prevent deviant acts in society. However, its implementation cannot be separated from containing the limits of sharia enforcement, protection of human rights, and the realization of social justice. This condition shows the need for a critical study of the application of the principles of amar ma'ruf nahi munkar in the Aceh Qanun Jinayah. This study aims to analyze the implementation of the principle of amar ma'ruf nahi munkar in the Aceh Qanun Jinayah and assess its conformity with the principles of social justice. The research method used is normative juridical with a statutory, conceptual, and sociological approach, through a literature study of regulations, Islamic legal literature, and related scientific studies. The results of the study indicate that the principle of amar ma'ruf nahi munkar has become the normative basis for enforcing the Qanun Jinayah, but in practice it still faces challenges in the form of law enforcement that is not fully fair, potential discrimination, and a weak perspective on social justice. Therefore, the implementation of these principles must be proportional, contextual, and oriented toward the public interest. The implications of this research emphasize the importance of integrating the enforcement of Islamic law with the principles of social justice so that the Aceh Qanun Jinayah can be implemented fairly, humanely, and sustainably.

Digital transformation of government through the implementation of e-government has become a strategic agenda in bureaucratic reform in Indonesia. Local governments play a crucial role as a bridge between national policies and village governance practices. This article analyzes the implementation of e-government by the Batang Regency Government in support of village governance. This research uses a qualitative approach and a policy analysis method, based on literature reviews and official documents, including regional regulations, SPBE policies, and relevant institutional reports. The analysis was conducted using a theoretical framework of public policy implementation and the principles of good governance. The analysis results indicate that the Batang Regency Government has a relatively adequate e-government regulatory and institutional framework, but its implementation at the village level still faces challenges, including gaps in apparatus capacity, variations in village digital readiness, and suboptimal cross-organizational coordination. This article concludes that strengthening the role of local governments as facilitators, coaches, and coordinators of digital policies is key to the successful implementation of village e-government. These findings provide theoretical contributions to e-government studies and policy implementation, as well as practical implications for formulating local government digital policies.

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus is a chronic metabolic disease characterized by elevated blood glucose levels due to impaired insulin action. Blood glucose control is influenced by various factors, one of which is dietary patterns. Diets that do not adhere to balanced nutrition principles can lead to poor glycemic control and increase the risk of complications. This study employed a quantitative design with a cross-sectional approach. The research sample consisted of 95 patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus at Sari Asih Karawaci Hospital in 2025, selected using purposive sampling techniques. Dietary pattern data were collected using a questionnaire, while blood glucose level data were obtained from medical examination results. Data analysis was conducted using univariate and bivariate analysis with the Contingency Coefficient test. The results showed that most respondents had good dietary patterns (58.9%), and blood glucose levels within the normal category (51.6%). Bivariate analysis using the Contingency Coefficient test indicated a p-value of 0.005, demonstrating a significant relationship between dietary patterns and blood glucose levels in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. There is a significant relationship between dietary patterns and blood glucose levels in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. Proper dietary management is an important factor in controlling blood glucose levels and should be a primary focus in nursing care and health education for patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) play a strategic role in economic development; however, their competitiveness is often constrained by weak branding and limited digital marketing capabilities. This community engagement program aimed to strengthen brand identity and digital capacity of the “Pukle” catfish cracker MSME in Karangsuwung Village, Cirebon Regency, through an integrated branding and sharia-based digital marketing approach. A participatory–collaborative method was employed, consisting of needs assessment, Workshops, technical mentoring, and monitoring and evaluation. The interventions included the development of brand identity elements (logo, tagline, and visual guidelines), improvement of informative packaging, activation and optimization of WhatsApp Business, and utilization of TikTok Shop as a social commerce channel. In addition, a standard operating procedure for sharia-compliant digital content based on the principles of shiddiq (truthfulness), amanah (trustworthiness), fathanah (competence), and tabligh (communicativeness) was formulated to enhance consumer trust. The results indicate improvements in product professionalism, digital channel management, content consistency, and customer interaction. The integration of branding and sharia digital marketing proved relevant in building differentiation, expanding market access, and strengthening long-term business reputation. The program highlights that MSME digital transformation requires capacity building, continuous mentoring, and ethical value integration to ensure sustainable competitiveness.

Pancasila democracy places the people as the main subjects in national and state life. The rapid development of the digital era has brought significant changes to democratic practices through easier access to information and increased public participation in digital spaces. In this context, young generations have a strategic role as the group most adaptive to information and communication technology. This study aims to analyze the role of young generations in maintaining and strengthening the values of Pancasila democracy in the digital era. The research method used is a qualitative descriptive approach with a literature study. Data were collected from various sources, including books, scientific journal articles, and research reports relevant to digital democracy and youth participation. The findings indicate that young generations can actively contribute by improving digital literacy, increasing political participation through digital media, and utilizing digital platforms as tools for education and advocacy. Furthermore, young generations play an important role in countering misinformation, strengthening the values of social justice, unity, and critical awareness in accordance with Pancasila principles. However, challenges such as the spread of disinformation, social polarization, and limited critical thinking skills in digital spaces remain significant obstacles. Therefore, continuous democratic education and digital literacy are essential to enable young generations to become responsible agents of change in sustaining Pancasila democracy in the digital era.

This study examines the juridical aspects of guardianship applications by parents to obtain permission to sell a minor’s inherited land and analyzes the judicial considerations in Decision Number 199/Pdt.P/2025/PN Blt. The research employs an empirical juridical method with a sociological legal approach. Primary data were collected through interviews and case documents at the Blitar District Court, while secondary data consist of statutes, doctrine, and related literature. Qualitative-descriptive analysis was applied to interpret the findings. The study reveals that the guardianship application process involves both administrative and judicial stages. Judges scrutinize material evidence and the probity of sale objectives, weighing important principles such as utility, legal certainty, fairness, and justice. Guardians are granted limited authority to sell a minor’s property only if it can be proven to be in the child's best interest and legal protections are assured. Recommendations include strengthening post-decision monitoring, enhancing legal outreach, improving procedural transparency, and ensuring comprehensive implementation.

This study aims to examine the judge's considerations in rendering decisions in aggravated theft cases at the Medan District Court, with an emphasis on the balance between legal and non-legal aspects in realizing substantive justice. The issue of disparate sentencing that frequently arises is the main background of this study. The methods used are an integrated normative legal approach and an empirical legal approach. The normative approach is used to examine the provisions of Article 363 of the Criminal Code (KUHP) and the legal principles that govern the judge's considerations, while the empirical approach is carried out through direct observation of the trial process and analysis of the judge's decision. The results of the study indicate that the judge in case Number 1110/Pid. B/2025/PN Medan not only complied with legal aspects such as fulfilling the elements of the crime, evidence, and the application of the principle of legality, but also considered non-legal aspects such as the socio-economic conditions, age, and motives of the defendant. These considerations demonstrate the application of the principles of criminal individualization and proportional justice. In addition, the judge also considered moral values ​​and social benefits in his decision, which is in line with Gustav Radbruch's theory of three basic legal values: justice, legal certainty, and utility. This study concludes that the thinking patterns of judges at the Medan District Court reflect a shift toward substantive and restorative justice paradigms. It is recommended that the Supreme Court strengthen integrated sentencing guidelines to avoid disparities in sentencing and encourage the adoption of a rehabilitative approach for offenders with low economic motivations.

This study aims to analyze the implementation of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (PSAK) 109 concerning Accounting for Zakat, Infaq, and Sadaqah at BAZNAS Tegal Regency and to assess its level of compliance with the applicable standards. This research is motivated by the importance of transparency and accountability in the management of zakat funds as a form of responsibility to the public and stakeholders. The study employs a qualitative method with a descriptive approach through observation, interviews, and documentation studies of the institution’s financial statements. The results indicate that BAZNAS Tegal Regency has prepared its financial statements in accordance with the components required by PSAK 109, including the statement of financial position, statement of changes in funds, statement of changes in managed assets, statement of cash flows, and notes to the financial statements. In terms of distribution, presentation, and disclosure, the implementation of the standard has complied both formally and substantively. However, in the aspects of recognition and measurement, the implementation is not yet fully comprehensive, as there has been no realization of non-cash asset receipts and no impairment testing has been applied to non-cash assets. Overall, the implementation of PSAK 109 has been administratively well executed, but further strengthening is required in technical and procedural aspects to ensure more optimal, consistent, and comprehensive application in accordance with sharia accounting principles.

Efforts to protect children in conflict with the law constitute a concrete manifestation of the state’s responsibility in implementing the principles of restorative justice. This study aims to comprehensively examine the implementation process of diversion at the Pengadilan Negeri Bukittinggi and to assess the extent to which its application achieves the primary objective of the juvenile criminal justice system, namely restoring the child’s social condition without emphasizing retribution. This research employs an empirical juridical approach by combining literature review and field research through interviews with judges, court clerks, and other relevant parties. The findings indicate that the implementation of diversion at the Pengadilan Negeri Bukittinggi has been carried out in accordance with Law Number 11 of 2012 concerning the Juvenile Criminal Justice System. The diversion process is conducted through deliberation involving the offender, the victim, their respective families, and supporting institutions under the guidance of a diversion facilitator. However, several challenges remain, including limited public understanding of the importance of restorative-based settlement, insufficient human resources with adequate competence in implementing diversion, and frequent failures in reaching agreements between offenders and victims. This study concludes that diversion in court proceedings is not merely a legal obligation but also an essential instrument in creating a more humane child-oriented justice system. Therefore, enhancing the competence of law enforcement officers and strengthening inter-agency coordination are necessary to support the sustainable success of diversion.

This study examines the distortion between civil and criminal perspectives in the legal considerations (ratio decidendi) of Judex Juris in Supreme Court Decision Number 121K/Pid.Sus/2020. The decision lacks substantial criminal law considerations regarding the alleged corruption offense. Instead, the legal reasoning focuses on the fault or negligence of company directors, particularly the exception under Article 97 of Law Number 40 of 2007 concerning Limited Liability Companies, which embodies the Business Judgment Rule doctrine. Furthermore, these considerations are distorted by tort (onrechtmatige daad) as regulated in Article 1365 of the Civil Code juncto Article 138 paragraph (1) letter b of the Company Law. This research employs a legislative approach by analyzing various legal instruments, including the 1945 Constitution, the Criminal Code, the Criminal Procedure Code, the Limited Liability Company Law, State-Owned Enterprises Law, Judicial Power Law, Supreme Court Law, and the Corruption Eradication Laws. A conceptual approach is also utilized to examine theoretical concepts concerning corporate crime, directors' liabilities, state losses, tort, negligence from criminal and civil perspectives, business judgment rules, collective collegiality principles, and formal-material classification of legislation. The data comprises primary legal materials (legislation and court decisions) and secondary legal materials (legal literature and scientific journals). Analysis is conducted qualitatively by interpreting legal principles and their relevance to the court's considerations in the decision.

Ihya' ul-Mawat is a concept in Islamic law that pertains to the effort of reviving or utilizing dead land that has not yet been owned. This practice has legal consequences for land ownership if it is carried out in accordance with Sharia principles. The aim of this article is to examine the legal provisions, requirements, and implications of land ownership based on the explanation of Shafi'i fiqh in the book Fathul Qarib, as well as its relevance to land utilization. The method used in this study is a historical research method with a library research approach, including content analysis of the Fathul Qarib text and supporting fiqh literature. The findings of the study indicate that reviving dead land is permissible and can be a means of acquiring ownership if it satisfies two conditions: first, the individual performing the action must be a Muslim and must have government permission, and second, the land must be unclaimed, meaning it is not previously owned by someone else. This study contributes to a better understanding of the legal framework surrounding the use and ownership of dead land in Islamic law.

This research aims to recontextualize the local wisdom embedded in the visual culture of the Muara Jambi Temple through the development of folklore-inspired batik motif designs. As a traditional Indonesian textile craft, batik serves not only functional purposes but alsp embodies profound cultural values and indigenous knowledge systems. Batik as a medium of cultural expression that invites multidimensional interpretaion within both practical and theoretical academic discourses. Its visual strength lies in the richness of colors, ornaments, and symbolic elements, which generate diverse interpretative meanings. These interpretations subsequently shape value systems that function as guiding principles in the everyday lives of Indonesian communities. The research used an experimental design method integrated with computer vision techniques to generate distinctive folklore batik motifs rooted in the cultural heritage of Muara Jambi, Sumatra. The research results are the creation of a Muara Jambi folklore batik motif that represents cultural expression, resilience, and continuity through the preservation of traditional patterns and environmentally conscious practices within the Jambi community. The transformation of motifs derived from artifacts from the Muara Jambi temple complex, serves as a primary source of inspiration for contemporary folklore batik design. The application of computer vision in the batik design process constitutes a form of sustainable digital innovation, facilitating the preservation, reinterpretation, and adaptive transformation of traditional visual heritage.

This research examines Islamic legal protection for victims of social engineering crimes within the context of cybercrime. Social engineering is a form of digital crime that exploits psychological manipulation and trust to obtain personal data, system access, or financial benefits. Such crimes cause not only material losses but also immaterial harm, including psychological trauma, violations of privacy, dignity, and personal security. However, positive legal frameworks tend to prioritize offender punishment, while victim protection and recovery remain insufficiently addressed. This study adopts a qualitative approach with a normative-juridical research design, complemented by limited empirical insights. Data were collected through library research on Islamic legal sources—namely the Qur’an, Hadith, and fiqh jināyah—alongside statutory regulations on cybercrime and selected interviews with legal scholars and practitioners. The analysis employs a descriptive-analytical method grounded in the maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah framework, particularly the principles of ḥifẓ al-māl (protection of property), ḥifẓ al-‘irḍ (protection of dignity), and ḥifẓ al-nafs (protection of life and psychological security). The findings demonstrate that Islamic law provides a robust normative foundation for protecting victims of social engineering crimes. Such protection extends beyond retributive punishment through ta‘zīr and emphasizes restorative justice by prioritizing victims’ rights restoration, offender accountability, and public welfare. Islamic law is both adaptive and relevant in addressing contemporary cybercrime challenges and may serve as a humanistic, just, and responsive model for victim protection in the digital era.

Gethsemane Salatiga website using Jakob Nielsen’s heuristic evaluation method combined with a triangulation approach. The evaluation involved 20 respondents, consisting of 7 UI/UX experts and 13 general users and guests, who assessed the website based on Nielsen’s ten heuristic principles, including visibility of system status, match between system and the real world, user control and freedom, consistency and standards, error prevention, recognition rather than recall, flexibility and efficiency of use, aesthetic and minimalist design, error recovery, and help and documentation. To minimize potential bias, the study integrated heuristic evaluation with user context analysis and empirical validation through usability testing, thereby providing a more comprehensive assessment. The results indicate that the overall UI/UX quality of the website is relatively good, with average scores ranging from 3 to 4 on a 5-point scale. Most identified issues fall within minor to moderate severity levels, with no critical problems affecting core functionalities. Consistency and standards received the highest average score (4.0), while alignment with user expectations and visual comfort still need improvement. Recommendations include enhancing system feedback, strengthening error prevention mechanisms, and improving help and documentation features. The differences in assessments between expert and non-expert respondents highlight the importance of professional evaluation in identifying usability issues. This study contributes to the refinement of a more reliable and contextually relevant UI/UX evaluation framework, particularly within the hospitality and tourism sector.

This research investigates integrated legal-human resource frameworks for autonomous vessel operations in Indonesian archipelagic waters, addressing regulatory compliance gaps and seafarer workforce transition challenges. Through qualitative analysis involving 38 stakeholders including maritime lawyers, regulatory officials, ship operators, seafarer unions, training institutions, and autonomous technology developers, this study examines how existing maritime legal frameworks prove inadequate for unmanned operations while workforce displacement threatens 150,000+ Indonesian maritime workers. Results demonstrate that successful autonomous vessel adoption requires coordinated legal-HR approaches addressing liability allocation (achieving 75-85% clarity through multi-party frameworks), competency certification for remote operators (reducing training gaps by 60-70%), career transition pathways (enabling 55-65% workforce adaptation), and regulatory harmonization (improving compliance efficiency by 45-60%). Key barriers include UNCLOS Article 94 incompatibility, insurance unavailability, seafarer resistance, and jurisdictional fragmentation. Findings reveal that archipelagic contexts demand unique legal-HR solutions integrating traditional maritime rights, hybrid operational modes, and just transition principles. This research contributes frameworks enabling Indonesia to proactively shape autonomous vessel regulations protecting both technological innovation and maritime workforce interests during critical technology transition.

One of the most contentious topics in modern Islamic family law is polygamous marriage, especially in plural legal systems like Indonesia where national laws and human rights concepts collide with religious standards. With an emphasis on the pursuit of substantive justice within both Islamic and national legal paradigms, this study uses a socio-legal framework to analyze Indonesia's reform of polygamous marriage law. In order to evaluate the efficacy of current legal regulations, such as Law No. 1 of 1974 as amended by Law No. 16 of 2019 and the Compilation of Islamic Law, this study combines the principles of maqāṣid al-sharīʿah with socio-legal theory, drawing on normative-theological analysis and qualitative doctrinal research. The results show that normative legal ideals and actual socio-legal reality continue to diverge. The ability of statutory rules to provide women and children with meaningful protection is limited because, although they set stringent procedural requirements to prevent polygamy, their execution frequently remains formalistic and institutionally constricted. Furthermore, the achievement of justice as envisioned in Islamic ethical principles is undermined by the persistence of dominant patriarchal legal cultures in influencing judicial procedures and public attitudes. In order to reframe polygamy as a conditional socio-ethical institution rather than an inalienable legal privilege, this paper suggests a reform-oriented legal framework. The study promotes a contextualized view of Islamic law that is consistent with both international human rights norms and constitutional ideals by placing a strong emphasis on substantive justice, gender fairness, and public benefit. The results provide policy-relevant insights for creating a more just and socially responsive family law system in Indonesia and add to the ongoing discussions on Islamic legal reform.
