According to this study, although there are legal instruments such as Law Number 8 of 2016 concerning Persons with Disabilities and Law Number 12 of 2022 concerning Criminal Acts of Sexual Violence (TPKS), there are still a number of obstacles in implementing these laws effectively, such as lack of public awareness, limited access to legal infrastructure, and social stigma against individuals with disabilities. The results of this study highlight the need to improve the capacity of law enforcement, build accessible facilities, and educate the community to create a safe and supportive environment for people with disabilities. This article offers suggestions on tactics to improve legal protection and achieve social justice for victims of sexual disclosure who have disabilities.

This study analyzes the legal application in determining cases of sexual harassment in Bekasi under the Indonesian Penal Code (KUHP), given the high prevalence of such cases in the region. Using descriptive-analytical methods and statutory and conceptual approaches, the research identifies how criminal law is applied in addressing sexual harassment, challenges in investigation processes, and Islamic law perspectives on this phenomenon. The data includes primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials obtained through literature studies. The findings reveal that while the KUHP provides sufficient provisions for handling sexual harassment cases, its implementation faces significant challenges, including limited legal awareness, social stigma, and lack of evidence. The study highlights the need for a more comprehensive approach to addressing these cases, including regulatory reforms supporting justice for victims and stricter sanctions for perpetrators. In conclusion, strengthening criminal law and raising legal awareness are essential to improving the effectiveness of law enforcement in sexual harassment cases in Indonesia.

This research analyzes legal protection for workers who are victims of sexual harassment in industrial areas, with a case study of decision number 83/Pdt.Sus-PHI/2023/PN Srg. Legal protection is an effort to create a sense of security for victims from harassment and threats, which are divided into preventive and repressive forms. Based on Law Number 13 of 2003 concerning Employment, this protection covers basic workers' rights, including protection from sexual harassment. This case study illustrates the implementation and challenges in implementing the law at PT Nikomas Gemilang, which involved physical sexual harassment by one male worker against several female workers. The court's decision to reject the perpetrator's lawsuit shows the importance of effective legal protection. The research results show that existing legal protection is not optimal and requires strengthening internal company policies as well as supervision from the government to create a safe and conducive work environment.

This article examines the issue of jarīmah ta'zīr as one of the dimensions of Islamic criminal law which has flexibility in its application. In contrast to ḥudūd and qisāṣ whose rules are very clear and detailed in the Qur'an, ta'zīr is not set clearly in the Qur'an. Therefore, the ijtihad of a ruler or judge to determine the type of crime and jarimah that can be punished (ta'zīr) and the type and form of punishment is really important. The flexibility of ta'zīr allows to accommodate the complex form of crime such as gratification, corruption, sexual harassment, drugs, and pornography. But ta'zīr also opens the opportunity for the tyranny of the government in punishing a person. This article offers the need for ta'zīr by making qanun like in Aceh.

The rise of information and communication technology in the digital era has introduced both benefits and new challenges, one of which is cyberbullying. This study aims to analyze the application of criminal law in cyberbullying cases in Indonesia, focusing on the limitations and challenges of current regulations. Using a normative juridical method, this research examines relevant laws and court cases to evaluate how criminal law addresses cyberbullying. The findings reveal that, while certain laws provide a legal framework for tackling cyberbullying, they remain insufficient in dealing with the complexities of digital harassment. The study highlights challenges in law enforcement, including difficulties in identifying perpetrators and interpreting the law, and calls for more specific regulations and enhanced training for law enforcement officers. Increased public awareness and preventive measures are also recommended to address the issue effectively. The study's implications suggest the need for legal reform and better cooperation between institutions to improve the protection of cyberbullying victims.
