The recognition of electronic evidence as evidence that can be submitted to court and recognized as valid evidence has been carried out since 1977 through the Company Documents Law which stipulates that microfilm containing recorded documents of a company can be submitted as evidence in court if it arises in the future. lawsuit.

This research aims to analyze the Decision of the Limboto District Court Number: 115/PID.sus/2022/PN.LBO concerning the Crime of Rape. This research is normative research with a statutory approach and a case approach, which is analyzed descriptively. The research results show that Decision Number 115/Pid.Sus/2022/Pn.Lbo is viewed from the aspect of certainty, namely, the decision does not reflect the principle of legal certainty. Considering that Article 81 (Paragraph 3) imposed in the indictment and verdict carries a penalty of 15 years in prison plus 1/3, the defendant should be subject to a sanction of 20 years in prison. Meanwhile, the prosecutor demanded 14 years, which the judge then reduced by giving a sanction of only 11 years in prison. Discussing the element of certainty is not just a moral demand, but factually it characterizes actual law and is based on the constitution, namely Article 1 Paragraph 3 of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia, where Indonesia is a rule of law state. Apart from that, the principle of legal certainty is said to have not been fulfilled, because the judge in giving his decision was not guided by Article 64 paragraph (1) of the Criminal Code. Furthermore, laws are essentially made and must not give rise to doubt, so as not to conflict with the objectives of the norm itself. Legal certainty refers to the consistent application of law where its implementation cannot be influenced by subjective circumstances.

A number of studies related to the politics of criminal law in the Dfrat wetboek van straf recht (RKUHP) have increasingly tightened the state's grip on matters that de facto can be resolved by other types of law such as religion, decency and manners that already exist in society. At that point, efforts to think about the objectives of environmental and natural resource crimes in the RKUHP feel increasingly complicated to think about because this draft seems to be complicated and between various things, can consist of understandings, concepts, paradigms, which are related to and conflict with each other. another. This article uses normative legal research, the author obtains data from library materials which are usually called secondary data, which includes primary, secondary and tertiary legal materials. The author then studies and explores these legal materials and quotes theories or concepts from a number of literature, including books, journals, papers, newspapers or other written works related to the problem under study. This article explains that the position of the RKUHP regarding laws in the field of environment and natural resources is not yet clear, because the RKUHP does not expressly state its position regarding other laws. UU no. 10 of 2004 concerning the Preparation of Legislative Regulations also does not help provide answers because it does not recognize the general and specific designations or categories of laws as well as the requirements to fulfill these categories and this RKUHP is only able to absorb the criminal articles of each law. sectoral law, apart from other parts contained in the law. This means that the codification of this model consciously releases the historical and logical ties between the parts contained in each law.

As the main source of law in Islam, the Qur'an has described various types of criminal offenses and their punishments, which are called Jarimah. This is relevant to the aim of enacting God's laws on this earth for the benefit and happiness of humans themselves. The provisions of sanctions that Allah gives to the perpetrator of the abuse are not intended to take revenge for what he has done, but rather to fulfill the rights of Allah and the rights of the persecuted family as a form of justice, providing a deterrent effect and protecting the public. As amukallaf, humans should obey and submit to the sharia rules that Allah has established in the Qur'an in order to be safe from sanctions both in this world and in the afterlife. The crime of theft is a violation of social norms, both state legal norms and religious norms. Any religion does not justify its followers stealing, because it will be detrimental to the victim and social order (Iqbal, 2021). In the Indonesian Criminal Code, the crime of theft is written in the Criminal Code (KUHP), Volume XXII II, Articles 362-367, Crime of Property, which has various types and sanctions for theft.

According to the Arab Social Defense Organization, Saudi Arabia has much lower rates of property or theft than in Arab countries such as Syria, Sudan, Egypt, Iraq, Lebanon and Kuwait, which do not implement Islamic criminal law. The rate of property crime or theft in these six countries is much higher, namely 650 times higher than Saudi Arabia. (Fitrah, 2021). The problem is that ordinary people do not have a deep understanding of Islamic criminal law. People will only feel that Islamic criminal law fines are sadistic, inhumane and violate human rights. It is believed that any theft must be sanctioned, or the punishment is amputation, although certain conditions must be met in Islamic law for amputation to be punishable. (Muhammad Wahyu, 2018).
