This research explores the phenomenon of carok as a form of traditional violence that persists in Madurese society, particularly in Sampang Regency. Carok refers to a duel involving sharp weapons, usually carried out by men to defend their honor and dignity, which they believe has been tarnished. This study aims to identify the factors that cause carok from a criminological perspective and to analyze the efforts that have been made to address and prevent such incidents. The research employs an empirical legal method with a qualitative approach. Data were collected through interviews with local police officers, sub-district officials, village heads, and traditional leaders in Sampang District, as well as through documentation and field observations. The findings reveal that the primary causes of carok include issues related to personal honor—especially concerning a man’s wife—personal disputes, revenge, and social environments that legitimize violence as a way of resolving conflict. From a criminological standpoint, carok can be explained through social conflict theory and the concept of crime of passion. Efforts to prevent carok have included both preventive measures, such as legal education, and repressive actions by law enforcement authorities. However, these efforts have proven to be only partially effective due to the deeply rooted cultural values that continue to support carok as a traditional form of justice. Therefore, a more intensive cultural approach involving community leaders is necessary to promote peaceful conflict resolution and reduce the incidence of violence.

Drug cases in Indonesia are at a very worrying level. The phenomenon of abuse of narcotics, psychotropic drugs, and illegal drugs (narcotics), should be a concern for the government and all levels of society in general. The rampant behavioral deviations of the younger generation, namely the occurrence of narcotics crimes, one of which is the abuse of narcotics and illegal drugs, are currently increasing. Teenagers are very potential targets for the circulation of narcotics and dangerous drugs, so there must be real efforts to prevent and eradicate them. The problem approach method used in this writing is the normative legal method. Primary data collection techniques are obtained by conducting searches, inventories and reviewing regulations using literature studies including laws and regulations, books and articles in journals and scientific works. The police in eradicating drug crimes have the authority in accordance with the mandate of Law Number 35 of 2009 concerning Narcotics and Law Number 2 of 2002 concerning the Police. The main authority includes investigation of Pre-emptive, Preventive, Repressive action.

This study examines consumer protection efforts against the distribution of hazardous illegal traditional herbal medicines in Serang City, Banten. The widespread circulation of such products—particularly those containing Chemical Drugs (Bahan Kimia Obat/BKO) and lacking distribution permits—poses a significant threat to public health. Between 2020 and 2025, the Inspection Division of the Food and Drug Monitoring Agency (BBPOM) in Serang secured and destroyed approximately 706 items, totaling 6,841 units, with an estimated economic value of IDR 91,158,350. The research focuses on two main issues: the mechanisms for protecting consumers from dangerous illegal traditional herbal medicines in Serang City, and the role of BBPOM in supervising their circulation. Employing an empirical juridical method with a qualitative-descriptive approach, the study collected data through literature reviews, documentation, and interviews with BBPOM Serang officials. The findings indicate that consumer protection is carried out through both preventive and repressive measures. Preventive efforts involve pre-market and post-market supervision to ensure that products meet safety and regulatory standards before and after they enter the market. Repressive actions include law enforcement against violations, confiscation and destruction of illegal products, and the imposition of administrative and criminal sanctions on offenders. BBPOM Serang plays a pivotal role in monitoring illegal herbal medicines by conducting regular inspections, surveillance, and investigations of production and distribution facilities, as well as educating the public about the dangers of unsafe products. Nevertheless, supervision efforts are hindered by challenges such as low public awareness regarding product safety and economic pressures that drive some producers and sellers to ignore legal requirements. Strengthening collaboration between regulatory agencies, law enforcement, and community stakeholders is essential to improving consumer protection and ensuring the circulation of safe traditional herbal products in the region.

The rise of trade in protected wildlife threatens the preservation of biodiversity in Indonesia, especially in the Aceh and North Sumatra regions. This is because punishment does not provide a deterrent effect to the perpetrators and the involvement of officials in its implementation, so that law enforcement against the trade in protected wildlife has not been felt effective in the eyes of the public. In this thesis, the author wants to know the extent of the effectiveness of law enforcement carried out by Forestry Civil Servant Investigators (PPNS) against protected wildlife trade through issues related to law enforcement, obstacles in law enforcement and efforts that have been made to overcome these obstacles. This research was conducted in Section I of the Sumatra Regional Environmental and Forestry Law Enforcement Center. The research method used is a case study with a qualitative approach. Data was collected through interviews with PPNS Forestry and related parties, as well as analysis of documents related to protected wildlife trafficking cases. The results of the study show that the effectiveness of law enforcement by PPNS Forestry has been quite effective, although it is still faced with several obstacles in its implementation. Law enforcement against the trade in protected wildlife starts from preemptive, preventive, repressive and judicial actions. Light punishment, the use of undercover buy techniques, proof of evidence, involvement of officials, facilities and infrastructure, human resources and public awareness are still factors that hinder law enforcement. Therefore, efforts have been made to overcome these obstacles by revising the law, strengthening intelligence networks, adding and increasing human resources, coordinating with related agencies and socializing to the community. The author recommends that socialization be carried out to law enforcement officials regarding the equality of perception in the implementation of Law Number 32 of 2024 and establish close cooperation with the TNI and Polri intelligence networks and make strict rules against officers involved in the trade of protected wildlife.

This study explores the legal responsibilities of notaries in reporting suspicious financial transactions as part of implementing the Know Your Customer (KYC) Principle. As public officials, notaries are bound by confidentiality obligations; however, in the context of anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing efforts, they are also required to report suspicious activities. The research applies a normative juridical approach using qualitative methods that focus on legal document analysis. The findings indicate that the notary's reporting obligation does not violate the confidentiality principle, as it is protected by law through both preventive and repressive legal safeguards. Proper implementation of the KYC Principle and due diligence allows notaries to actively contribute to financial integrity while minimizing their legal risk.

The purpose of this research is to analyze the modus operandi of motorcycle theft crime in Kupang City and its prevention pattern (case study of Kelapa Lima Police Station). This research is an empirical legal research that directly observes the research location to find out the facts that occur in the field.

Of all the cases of crime modus operandi of motorcycle theft above has 40 cases of different types of modes. Countermeasures carried out by law enforcement or police officers include pre-emtif efforts, which are initial efforts made by the police to prevent crime by instilling good values and norms so that these norms are internalized in each person. Preventive, These preventive efforts are a follow-up to pre-emtif efforts which are still in the prevention stage before the crime occurs. Preventive efforts that are emphasized are eliminating opportunities to commit crimes. Repressive, The countermeasures taken are by taking action against the perpetrators of crime in accordance with their actions and correcting them so that they realize that their actions are unlawful and detrimental to society.

Sexual violence is an act that is degrading, humiliating, harassing, and/or attacking a person’s body or reproductive function, typically caused by an imbalance of power relations or gender discrimination, which results in psychological and physical suffering. Sexual violence against children is a social problem that requires special attention because this crime involves children in its commission. The Institute for Criminal Justice Reform (ICJR) also emphasizes that intercourse with a child constitutes a criminal offense, even if it is framed as consensual, in order to protect the child’s rights and future. Based on this issue, the author aims to examine efforts to combat sexual violence against children under the guise of sexual consent to find the most effective strategies to reduce this increasingly widespread crime. The research method used is a normative and empirical juridical approach. The data used includes both primary and secondary data. Data collection procedures involve literature study and field research. The data analysis was conducted using qualitative analysis. The results of the study show that efforts to combat sexual crimes include both penal and non-penal measures. Penal efforts involve the government enacting more specific regulations on sexual crimes involving adults and children under the pretense of sexual consent, as well as taking repressive measures as a last resort. Non-penal efforts conducted by relevant institutions include public outreach and education that provides information about such criminal behaviors. The suggestions in this study are: (1) To prevent sexual crimes committed under the guise of sexual consent, it is necessary to involve the community and a supportive environment that is aware of unlawful acts occurring around them, and to collectively protect family and community members from engaging in harmful behavior. (2) The government is expected to establish more specific policies regarding sexual crimes involving adults and children under the pretext of sexual consent.

The circulation of narcotics in Aceh's territorial waters is a serious problem that affects the security and welfare of the community. This research aims to analyze the role of the Directorate of Water and Air Police (DITPOLAIRUD) of the Aceh Regional Police in efforts to control narcotics through preventive and repressive measures. The research method uses a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques through interviews, literature studies and document analysis. The research results show that Ditpolairud's preventive actions include routine patrols in water areas, strict monitoring of smuggling-prone routes, as well as quick response through a quick response system. However, the implementation of this action is hampered by limited resources, such as patrol boats, ship detection technology and integrated hotlines. Meanwhile, repressive measures include arresting perpetrators, investigating and compiling case files which also face challenges in terms of the availability of personnel and forensic facilities. This research concludes that optimizing the role of the Aceh Regional Police's Ditpolairud requires increased support for facilities, infrastructure and personnel training to maximize the effectiveness of countering narcotics in Aceh's territorial waters.

Law enforcement serves as a fundamental mechanism for establishing order, security, and peace within society. It encompasses efforts to prevent or eliminate violations of the law, addressing issues both preventively and repressively. However, challenges arise when actions taken do not align with established procedures. The appropriate course of action within a legal framework is essential, and when discussing legal protection in the context of procedural law, it is important to clarify that such protection should not be interpreted as a means to shield offenders from accountability. This study seeks to evaluate law enforcement in Indonesia through the lenses of legal certainty, justice, and societal benefit. Employing a literature review methodology, which relies on expert opinions, the findings indicate notable deficiencies in the law enforcement system in Indonesia. For an extended period, those seeking justice within society have yearned for equitable law enforcement. Nevertheless, current practices in law enforcement tend to prioritize legal certainty over the community's sense of justice. Various court decisions, for example in the case of grandmother Minah and Aal, the sandal thief, seem to illustrate that law enforcement tends towards the view that law is law and has given rise to public disappointment with law enforcement in Indonesia.
