Narcotics abuse is no longer considered a victimless crime, but rather an offense that claims numerous victims and inflicts a prolonged catastrophe upon humanity. Furthermore, an emerging challenge is narcotics cases committed by recidivists, namely individuals who re-offend after having been previously convicted and sentenced. Recidivist status raises juridical issues, as it constitutes grounds for the aggravation of criminal penalties. The objective is to ensure that the imposition of criminal sentences effectively provides a deterrent effect and precludes the offender from repeating the same criminal offense. The existence of narcotics abuser recidivists also creates a distinct dilemma for Law Enforcement Officials. Judges are mandated to impose fair and proportionate sentences in accordance with statutory regulations. The recidivist status of a narcotics abuser frequently serves as a justification for Law Enforcement Officials to bypass the integrated assessment required for rehabilitation. This research utilizes a normative legal research method, employing statutory and conceptual approaches. The legal materials used consist of primary legal materials, taking the form of statutory regulations and court decisions, as well as secondary legal materials, comprising legal books and journals, which are analyzed using a descriptive-analytical method. The research findings indicate that recidivists may obtain rehabilitation even in the absence of an assessment. This research concludes that the objectives of sentencing, in addition to providing a deterrent effect, aim to cure or at least restore the offender's condition through rehabilitation; however, guidelines or jurisprudence are required to ensure legal certainty and consistency of application in the future.

This study aims to analyze the obstacles to the implementation of civil judgment execution and efforts to resolve them in judicial practice in Indonesia. The research method used is normative juridical legal research with a statutory and conceptual approach. The data used is secondary data obtained through literature study, which is then analyzed qualitatively. The results of the study indicate that the implementation of civil judgment execution still faces various obstacles, which include legal, technical, and non-legal obstacles. Legal obstacles include legal efforts used to delay execution, technical obstacles related to the unclear object of the dispute and limited facilities, while non-legal obstacles include resistance from the losing party and the public. These conditions indicate ineffectiveness in the implementation of civil procedural law, resulting in the failure to achieve legal certainty, justice, and benefit. Efforts to resolve obstacles are carried out through improving regulations, increasing the professionalism of judicial officials, utilizing technology, and a non-litigation approach. Thus, legal reform and strengthening of judicial institutions are needed so that the implementation of civil judgment execution can run more effectively and provide optimal legal protection.

This study examines the phenomenon of victim blaming as a form of secondary victimization within the perspective of victimology in Indonesia. Victim blaming remains a significant issue where victims of crime, particularly in cases of violence, are often blamed for the incidents they experience. This condition not only exacerbates the psychological and social suffering of victims but also hinders their access to justice. The objective of this research is to analyze how victim blaming occurs and to understand its impact as a form of secondary victimization. This study employs a normative juridical method with a qualitative approach, using literature review from legal documents, journals, and relevant academic sources. The findings indicate that victim blaming is influenced by social stigma, cultural perspectives, and a lack of public awareness regarding victims’ rights. Furthermore, such practices result in secondary victimization, where victims experience repeated harm due to negative societal responses. From a victimological perspective, victim blaming contradicts the principle of victim protection and justice. The implication of this research highlights the need for stronger legal protection, public education, and a more victim-centered approach in addressing crime in Indonesia.

This research aims to analyze the effectiveness of the implementation of the staple food assistance program in Tapadaka Satu Village, Dumoga Tenggara Sub-district, Bolaang Mongondow Regency, Sulawesi Utara Province. The main sub-focus of this research includes five aspects of effectiveness measurement proposed by Sutrisno (2018), namely: (1) program understanding, (2) target accuracy, (3) timeliness, (4) achievement of objectives, and (5) real change. This research employs a qualitative, descriptive research approach. Data collection techniques include interviews, observation, and documentation. The results indicate that the implementation of the staple food assistance program in Tapadaka Satu Village has not been fully effective. In terms of program understanding, socialization has been conducted by the Social Affairs Office and village government, but some beneficiary families still do not fully understand the program’s mechanisms, rights, and obligations. In target accuracy, discrepancies in beneficiary data persist due to changing socio-economic conditions and the suboptimal updating of DTSEN data. In timeliness, assistance distribution generally follows the mechanism, but delays in fund disbursement still occur. In achieving objectives, the program helps reduce beneficiary families’ food expenditure burden, although delays affect results. Lastly, real change remains limited, short-term, and has not significantly improved community welfare.

Archives are documents stored by an institution responsible for managing documents or organizing archival programs. Archives have an important role as a source of information in an agency so it is important to research. This study aims to analyze the management of incoming and outgoing mail archives in Rangkah Kidul Village, Sidoarjo District using descriptive qualitative research methods with data collection techniques in the form of interviews, observation and documentation. The focus of this study is the management of archives from the stages of creation, use, maintenance and reduction of archives. Informants in this study with five informants.

The results show that the program has been implemented sustainably and contributes to supporting the continuity of higher education for rural students. Target achievement has been administratively fulfilled, although equity and quota distribution remain challenges. The level of satisfaction among recipients and parents is relatively good; however, there are still obstacles related to information dissemination and administrative processes. In terms of input and output indicators, the program is considered fairly effective as it consistently distributes financial assistance. Overall, the program is fairly effective in increasing access to and continuity of higher education, although improvements are still needed in terms of equity and implementation quality.

The Labor-Intensive Housing Program is one of the Surabaya City Government’s policies aimed at reducing poverty and unemployment through labor-intensive community empowerment. This study aims to describe and analyze the implementation of the Labor-Intensive Housing Program (RPK) at the Pitstop business unit in Lidah Kulon Village, Lakarsantri Subdistrict, Surabaya City. This study employs a qualitative method with a descriptive approach, utilizing Van Meter and Van’s policy implementation theory. Primary data were collected through interviews and observations, while secondary data were derived from official documents and relevant publications. The results showed that the implementation of the Pitstop Labor Intensive Housing Program has not yet been optimal. In terms of policy standards and objectives, the program’s goals have been clearly defined but have not yet been fully achieved. Regarding resources, the availability of facilities and funding is adequate, but there are still limitations in human resources, particularly skilled technicians in the automotive repair field. Inter organizational communication has taken place but has not been intensive enough to support business sustainability. Characteristics of the implementing agents indicate that the structure of the Labor-Intensive Housing team has been clearly defined; however, implementation in the field has not been optimal due to weak coordination and communication. Economic, social, and political conditions-such as a less-than-strategic business location and high competition from similar businesses-have also contributed to the low number of customers. Meanwhile, the disposition of the implementers demonstrates a positive attitude in supporting the Labor-Intensive Housing program. The Labor-Intensive Housing Program must be supported by professional mechanics through education, certification, and collaboration with the private sector and training institutions to ensure the quality of services. In addition, building public trust, coordination among stakeholders, and intensive support through monitoring and evaluation are key to the success and sustainability of the Labor-Intensive Housing Program.

Abstract content must contain (1) an overview of the object of research, (2) problems, and research objectives, (3) proposed methods, (4) main findings and results and synthesis of main ideas, and (5) conclusions. In recent years, the Iran–United States conflict has not only unfolded within the geopolitical arena but has also been intensively constructed through international media framing that shapes how global audiences understand this reality. In the context of the digital information overflow, media no longer function merely as conveyors of facts; rather, they act as agents that construct meaning, evoke emotions, and shape the social perceptions of audiences. This study aims to analyze how international media framing constructs representations of the Iran–United States conflict and how audiences interpret such discourse within their social experiences. This research adopts a qualitative approach with a Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) design. Data were collected through document analysis of 25 news articles from both Western and non-Western media, as well as exploratory interviews with nine participants from academic backgrounds. Data analysis was conducted using a thematic approach based on Norman Fairclough’s three-dimensional model. The findings reveal three main patterns: the construction of threat through media language, moral polarization that produces a dichotomy of “us versus them,” and the negotiation of meaning by audiences, which is reflective and not always linear. These findings indicate that audiences are not entirely passive; rather, they actively interpret and, at times, question media framing. Theoretically, this study extends Critical Discourse Analysis by incorporating the dimension of audience experience into the discursive process. Practically, it underscores the importance of critical media literacy in navigating the complexity of global information and opens avenues for further exploration of the relationship between discourse, power, and social experience.

This study aims to understand the dynamics of self-awareness and transcendental experiences in high school students from the perspective of the psychology of religion. Adolescence is a developmental phase characterized by the search for identity, self-reflection, and increased spiritual awareness. This study used a qualitative approach with phenomenological methods to explore students' subjective experiences related to self-awareness and spiritual experiences. The study participants consisted of two high school students aged 15–18, selected using a purposive sampling technique. Data collection was conducted through in-depth semi-structured interviews supported by field notes. The data were analyzed using phenomenological analysis through the stages of phenomenological reduction, identification of key statements, grouping themes, and essential descriptions of experiences. The results indicate that spiritual experiences in worship practices foster a sense of closeness to God, encourage self-reflection, help students cope with stress, and foster awareness to improve behavior. These findings suggest that transcendental experiences play a significant role in the development of self-awareness and character formation in adolescents.

The development of digital content on the YouTube platform encourages creators to produce more engaging and informative podcast videos through the editing process. This study discusses the video podcast editing workflow of the Tikitalk program on the Ampu Studio YouTube channel using Adobe Premiere Pro. This research also aims to understand how the editing stages are carried out in improving the quality of video podcast presentation. The research method used is descriptive qualitative through direct observation during internship activities, so that the data is obtained based on real field experience. The results of the study show that the editing process, such as video cutting, transition settings, audio adjustment, audio censoring, and the addition of motion graphics, can significantly improve the quality of video podcast presentation. In addition, this process also helps make the content more organized, informative, and engaging for viewers. Thus, the role of the editor in the production process is very important in supporting the quality of digital content on the YouTube platform. Therefore, it can be concluded that editing is not only a technical process, but also an important part in increasing the attractiveness and professionalism of a video podcast.

This study aims to analyze the legal protection of women's inheritance rights from the perspective of Indonesian civil law. The problems studied focused on the position of women as heirs and the extent to which the legal system provides guarantees of justice and equality. The research method used is normative juridical with a legislative and conceptual approach. Data was obtained through a literature study of legal regulations, doctrines, and court decisions relevant to inheritance issues. The results of the study show that normatively, civil law provides equal recognition of women's inheritance rights, especially in the Civil Code. However, in practice, there are still obstacles influenced by patriarchal culture and customary law that tend to place women in subordinate positions. This condition causes women to often experience difficulties in claiming or obtaining the proper share of inheritance. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen regulations, harmonize national laws with the value of gender equality, and increase public legal awareness to ensure effective and fair protection for women in obtaining their inheritance rights.

This study aims to examine and analyze the implementation of digital-based public services through the Digikel website in Biawao Village and Limba U1 Village,Gorontalo City. The main focus of this study includes three aspects:(1) support, (2)capacity, and (3) value. This study employs a qualitative approach with a descriptiveresearch design. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The study's findings indicate that the implementation of the Digikel website hasbeen effective across the three aspects. (1) Support: The implementation of Digikelis supported by leadership commitment, active employee involvement, and policysupport from the city government through clear regulations. However, there are stillchallenges in the community's socialization process, which has not been optimal.(2) Capacity: Human resources in Biawao Village and Limba U1 Village are considered to have adequate competence through technical guidance. Nevertheless,there are still infrastructure-related obstacles, including unstable internetconnectivity and limited computer equipment. The absence of a dedicated budgetat the village level has also been a constraint in system development. (3) Value: The implementation of Digikel has had a positive impact, particularly in improving efficiency in terms of time, cost, and labor, as well as in accelerating, simplifying, and enhancing the transparency of public services. However use of this system has not yet been fully optimized due to low levers of diritalitgacy among somemembers of the community.

This study examines the absence of clear time limits in civil procedural law and its impact on the effectiveness of the principle of simple, fast, and low-cost justice in Indonesia. Normatively, this principle serves as a fundamental guideline in ensuring efficient and accessible dispute resolution. However, in practice, civil proceedings often take a prolonged and complex course, leading to increased costs and legal uncertainty. This research aims to analyze whether the principle has real normative force and how the lack of time constraints in each stage of civil litigation contributes to procedural delays. The study employs a normative legal research method using statutory and conceptual approaches, supported by secondary legal materials. The findings indicate that the absence of strict and binding time limits allows procedural flexibility to be misused, resulting in repeated delays, inefficiency, and case accumulation. Consequently, the principle of simple, fast, and low-cost justice tends to remain declarative rather than operational. The study concludes that the effectiveness of this principle is significantly weakened by the lack of time regulation and suggests the need for reform through time-bound case management, stricter procedural control, and the integration of digital judicial systems to enhance efficiency and legal certainty.

Law Number 11 of 2012 emphasizes restorative justice, diversion, and the protection and fulfillment of children’s rights within the juvenile justice system. In addition, Law Number 22 of 2022 highlights the importance of guidance and assistance aimed at supporting the social reintegration of children in conflict with the law. However, the implementation of these legal provisions at the Class I Correctional Center (Bapas) in Banda Aceh has not been fully effective due to several challenges, including the limited number of officers, inadequate initial assistance, and constraints in reporting and inter-institutional coordination. This study aims to analyze the implementation of assistance provided to juvenile correctional clients at Bapas Class I Banda Aceh and identify factors affecting its effectiveness. The research employs an empirical juridical method with descriptive qualitative analysis based on interviews, documentation, and legal literature. The findings reveal that assistance has been provided throughout all judicial stages, including pre-adjudication, adjudication, and post-adjudication processes. These activities involve community research, assistance during diversion and court proceedings, and post-verdict guidance. Nevertheless, implementation remains suboptimal due to internal factors such as limited Community Advisors and heavy workloads, as well as external factors including insufficient family support, limited community acceptance, and weak coordination between institutions. These issues affect the effectiveness of assistance and hinder children’s successful social reintegration.

This study aims to examine the normative construction and practical implementation of criminal sanctions against narcotics abusers from the perspectives of Islamic criminal law and Indonesian positive law, as well as to formulate an integrative policy model that is more just, humane, and context-sensitive in Bungo Regency. Narcotics abuse constitutes a multidimensional problem involving legal, social, moral, and public health dimensions. Therefore, a comprehensive approach is required to integrate the normative values of Islamic criminal law with the national legal system. This research employs a normative-empirical approach using comparative legal analysis, examining statutory regulations, doctrines of Islamic criminal law, and law enforcement practices at the local level. The findings indicate that Islamic criminal law frames narcotics abuse within the protection of maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah, particularly the preservation of intellect (ḥifẓ al-‘aql) and life (ḥifẓ al-nafs), thereby emphasizing not only punitive but also educational and rehabilitative orientations through the instrument of ta‘zīr. Meanwhile, Indonesian positive law, particularly Law No. 35 of 2009 on Narcotics, provides legal space for rehabilitation; however, its implementation still encounters structural and cultural challenges. This study concludes that integrating Islamic criminal law principles with the national legal framework may produce a more responsive sentencing model that upholds substantive justice, human rights protection, and effective narcotics control. Policy reformulation grounded in religious values, restorative approaches, and social rehabilitation is recommended as a strategic direction for national criminal law reform.

This study aims to analyze the victimological aspects of adolescents who are victims of bullying in the school environment. Bullying remains a significant social issue that negatively affects the psychological, social, and academic development of adolescents. This research employs a qualitative approach with a descriptive research design. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation involving adolescents who have experienced bullying. The data were analyzed through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing.The results indicate that victims of bullying tend to have certain characteristics such as low self-confidence, introverted behavior, and limited social interaction skills. The forms of bullying identified include verbal bullying, social bullying, and cyberbullying. The impacts experienced by victims include psychological distress such as anxiety and low self-esteem, difficulties in social interaction, and decreased academic performance. From a victimological perspective, both individual and environmental factors play a significant role in the occurrence of victimization. Therefore, active involvement from schools, families, and communities is necessary to prevent and address bullying in order to create a safe environment for adolescents.

The development of the digital era has significantly transformed government administration, particularly in technology-based public services. This transformation requires strengthening the principles of good governance, which include transparency, accountability, public participation, effectiveness, efficiency, and legal certainty. State Administrative Law plays a strategic role in ensuring that bureaucratic digitalization remains within the correct legal framework and does not deviate from good governance principles. This study employs a normative juridical approach with a literature review method to analyze the role of State Administrative Law in strengthening good governance in the digital era. The findings show that State Administrative Law functions as an instrument of legality, discretionary control, data protection, improved accountability, and enhanced public service efficiency. Thus, State Administrative Law is not only regulatory but also adaptive to technological developments in achieving good governance in the digital era.

This study examines the importance of legal protection for healthcare workers in medical services, particularly in the Central Surgical Installation of the Regional General Hospital of Mataram City, which involves high medical risks. The background of this research is based on the increasing potential for medical disputes and the vulnerability of healthcare workers to legal claims due to discrepancies between medical outcomes and patient expectations. The objective of this study is to analyze the implementation of legal protection and identify the challenges faced in practice. The research employs a descriptive method with a qualitative approach, utilizing interviews, observations, and documentation studies. The findings indicate that legal protection has been implemented through standard operating procedures, informed consent, and internal hospital policies in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. However, its implementation remains suboptimal due to several constraints, including limited legal awareness among healthcare workers, inadequate legal assistance systems, and increasing public demands. The study implies the need to enhance legal education for healthcare workers and strengthen the role of hospitals in providing effective legal protection to support professional and safe healthcare services.

Digital evolution in the pattern of social interaction of the community also has a significant influence on the dynamics of the national judicial system. The transformation covers all judicial sectors, both religious and public, especially related to the technique of presenting evidence in the litigation process. This research is carried out with normative legal methods and is descriptive analytical. The author utilizes secondary data obtained through library search, which is then processed with qualitative normative analysis techniques. The legitimacy of screenshots as evidence has been explicitly regulated in applicable regulations. Referring to the renewal of the ITE Law in Law Number 1 of 2024, Article 5 paragraph (1) affirms that electronic information and its printed results are recognized as valid evidence before the law. This study shows that normatively, screenshots have a strong legal position in the civil system. However, in the reality of the trial, this instrument is positioned as a free evidence (vrij bewijs), which means that the weight of the evidence is not absolute and depends on the judge's evaluation and conviction.

This literature study examines the process of self-regulation in transforming compliance with school rules originating from external pressure into behavioral regularity emerging from personal awareness, and its impact on the effectiveness of student learning outcomes. Using a qualitative approach with content analysis method, this study synthesizes relevant literature to build a theoretical framework on how self-regulation facilitates the internalization of disciplinary values. The findings reveal that self-regulation occurs through a series of interconnected stages including goal setting, strategy planning, self-monitoring, evaluation, and adjustment. The success of this process is determined by internal motivation, appropriate environmental support, positive direct experiences, and healthy emotional management. Strong self-regulation directly impacts learning outcome effectiveness through improved cognitive strategies, strengthened intrinsic motivation, enhanced time and environment management, and developed capacity to constructively cope with failure. Learning outcomes achieved through self-regulation processes are characterized by lasting understanding, knowledge transfer ability, and the formation of lifelong learning dispositions. Schools and teachers play strategic roles in strengthening self-regulation through curriculum design that supports autonomy, formative feedback, role modeling, and collaboration with parents. This study contributes theoretically by positioning self-regulation as the central mechanism bridging external influences and internal disposition formation.
