This study aims to analyze the implementation of the Bravo PUPR Online attendance system in improving the work discipline of Civil Servants (ASN) at the National Road Implementation Center of East Nusa Tenggara. The research focuses on punctuality of attendance, consistency in fulfilling working hours, task completion, compliance with attendance procedures, alignment between recorded data and actual conditions, and acceptance of consequences for violations. The study employs a qualitative approach with data collection techniques including observation, documentation, and interviews with leaders, system operators, and ASN as direct users. The results indicate that the implementation of the Bravo PUPR Online attendance system has improved administrative order in attendance and increased ASN awareness of time discipline. However, work discipline has not been fully optimal, as several issues remain, such as inconsistent attendance, suboptimal fulfillment of working hours, and discrepancies between attendance data and actual field conditions. In addition, technical constraints such as internet connectivity and GPS accuracy, as well as behavioral factors like negligence and lack of supervision, also affect system effectiveness. In terms of compliance, the Bravo system integrated with e-HRM is considered effective in detecting violations and enforcing strict consequences, ranging from warnings to administrative sanctions. This demonstrates that the attendance system functions not only as a recording tool but also as an instrument for monitoring discipline.

Copyright is a key pillar of the Intellectual Property Rights system, providing legal protection for creative works in the arts sector, particularly musical works. Within the copyright framework, the most crucial aspect is economic rights, namely the exclusive right of creators to derive financial benefit from any use of their works. However, the reality on the ground demonstrates the rampant use of songs for commercial purposes without proper authorization, which directly harms creators. This article analyzes economic rights violations in the context of commercial use, using the case study of the song "Akad" by Payung Teduh as a case study. This research uses normative legal methods through a statutory and legal conceptual approach. The research findings indicate that the exploitation of songs for material gain without the explicit consent of the rights holder constitutes a clear violation of Law Number 28 of 2014 concerning Copyright. Such violations carry serious legal consequences, including civil liability in the form of compensation payments and criminal sanctions. Therefore, synergy between firm law enforcement and increased collective public awareness is necessary. These efforts are vital to guaranteeing the protection of creators' economic rights while creating a healthy, fair, and sustainable creative industry ecosystem in Indonesia for all arts stakeholders.

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 implementation of spatial planning regulations in the development of tourism accommodations and law enforcement against spatial planning violations in the Bingin Beach area, Badung Regency. The rapid development of tourism in the area has encouraged the construction of various facilities such as villas, hotels, and restaurants, some of which are located in coastal areas and do not fully comply with spatial planning and licensing regulations. This study uses empirical legal research methods with a legislative approach, case approach, and legal sociology approach. Data was obtained through observation, interviews, and document studies, then analyzed qualitatively. The results show that the implementation of spatial planning regulations in Bingin Beach has not been optimal because there are still tourism accommodation buildings that violate zoning and coastal boundary line regulations. This condition is influenced by weak supervision, rapid tourism development, and lack of compliance with licensing procedures. Law enforcement is carried out by the local government through the imposition of administrative sanctions and efforts to control buildings that do not comply with spatial planning. This law enforcement aims to maintain order in the use of space and protect the sustainability of the coastal environment.

The flash flood disaster that hit Indonesia, including the devastating disaster in three Sumatran provinces in November-December 2025 which resulted in more than 900 casualties and trillions of rupiah in losses, shows a strong correlation between environmental damage caused by corporate activities and increased disaster risk. The purpose of this study is to analyze corporate criminal liability for environmental damage resulting in flash flood disasters based on the Environmental Management Law (UU PPLH), examine the mechanism for proving corporate criminal liability, and evaluate the application of criminal sanctions against corporations that commit environmental damage resulting in flash flood disasters. The research method used is normative legal research with a descriptive analytical statute approach. Data collection techniques are carried out through library research and interviews with sources at the North Sumatra Provincial Environmental Service. The data obtained were analyzed qualitatively. The results of the study indicate that: First, corporate criminal liability for environmental damage resulting in flash floods has been comprehensively regulated in Articles 116 to 120 of the Environmental Management and Management Law, which recognizes corporations as subjects of criminal law and regulates the criteria for corporate crimes (committed by, for, or on behalf of a business entity), the responsible party (the business entity and/or the person giving the order/leader of the activity), a one-third aggravation of the sentence, and corporate representation in court, as reinforced by Supreme Court Regulation Number 13 of 2016. The conclusion of this study is that the Environmental Management and Management Law has provided a comprehensive legal framework for corporate criminal liability for environmental damage resulting in flash floods. However, the effectiveness of law enforcement still needs to be improved through accelerating the judicial process, strengthening the capacity of law enforcement, improving inter-agency coordination, and strengthening the decision execution mechanism.

This study aims to analyze the registration of Deeds of Mortgage (APHT) that exceed the 7 (seven) day time limit in Badung Regency and the legal consequences that arise from this. The research uses empirical legal methods with a legislative, analytical, case, and legal sociology approach. Data was obtained through interviews with PPAT and the Badung Regency Land Office (BPN) as well as a study of secondary legal materials. The results of the study show that delays in APHT registration still occur both through the manual (offline) and electronic (HT-el) systems. The contributing factors include negligence or workload of PPAT, incomplete documents from the parties, administrative obstacles at the Land Office, and technical disruptions to the electronic system. Legally, delays do not invalidate APHT, but they delay the creation of mortgage rights because these rights only have legal force from the date of recording in the Land Registry. As a result, creditors do not obtain preferential rights and full legal protection before registration is carried out. PPATs who are late may be subject to administrative sanctions in accordance with official regulations. Based on the theories of utility, legal protection, and legal certainty, delays in APHT registration reduce the effectiveness of creditor protection and create potential legal uncertainty. Therefore, it is necessary to improve supervision and guidance for PPATs, as well as optimize the HT-el system to ensure legal certainty and protection in the practice of registering Mortgage Rights.

Illegal street racing is a persistent issue in Indonesia, including Bungo Regency, endangering road users and violating traffic laws. This study, based on a case study at the Traffic Unit of Bungo Police Resort, aims to explore the police's role in addressing illegal street racing from an Islamic criminal law perspective. Using a qualitative juridical-empirical approach, the study examines legal regulations, institutional practices, and Islamic jurisprudence. Data was gathered from legal sources and literature related to law enforcement and Islamic criminal law. The results reveal that the police play a strategic role in combating street racing through preventative, preemptive, and repressive tactics. Repressive measures include law enforcement based on the Indonesian Traffic and Road Transportation Law, while preventive actions involve community outreach, traffic education, and regular patrols. From an Islamic criminal law viewpoint, illegal street racing is categorized as jarimah ta‘zīr, where authorities impose sanctions to maintain public order and prevent harm (mafsadah), aligning with the maqasid al-shariah goals of preserving property and life. The study concludes that effective and sustainable action against street racing requires collaboration between law enforcement, communities, and religious perspectives.

Domestic violence (DV) remains a complex legal and social problem, threatening family stability and human dignity. Although Law No. 23 of 2004 concerning the Elimination of Domestic Violence provides strict sanctions, conventional punishment methods are often considered ineffective in restoring damaged social relationships within families. This study examines the implementation of restorative justice in resolving domestic violence cases within the Bungo Police jurisdiction, from the perspective of positive law and Islamic law. This study uses an empirical legal approach and a sociological perspective, with primary data collected through interviews with investigators from the Women and Children Protection Unit (PPA), as well as secondary data from laws, police regulations, and related academic literature. The results show that restorative justice has been applied to several domestic violence cases during the investigation stage through mediation and peace agreements between the parties involved. This method helps reduce the backlog of cases, accelerates dispute resolution, and maintains family social stability. However, challenges remain, such as the possibility of re-victimization due to the imbalance of power between victims and perpetrators. From an Islamic legal perspective, restorative justice is in line with the principles of ta'zīr and maqāṣid al-sharī'ah, especially the preservation of human dignity, life and offspring. By guaranteeing the protection of victims and preventing repeated violence, restorative justice can be an additional mechanism in cases of domestic violence.

This study uses an integrated analysis of positive law and Islamic law at Polres Bungo to investigate the reconstruction of sanctions for juvenile offenders during the investigation stage. Empirical trends suggest a procedural and administrative orientation that may restrict substantive rehabilitation, even though Undang-Undang Nomor 11 Tahun 2012 tentang Sistem Peradilan Pidana Anak (Juvenile Criminal Justice System Act) formally adopts restorative justice, diversion, and the best interests of the child as guiding principles. Using a multidisciplinary approach that integrates statutory, theological-normative (shar‘i), and historical considerations, this study uses a normative qualitative design based on library research. The theoretical framework incorporates maqāṣid al-sharīʿah as a normative evaluation instrument, legal effectiveness theory, and punishment theories. The findings reveal a conceptual convergence between Indonesian positive law and Islamic criminal jurisprudence in differentiating criminal responsibility based on maturity and prioritizing rehabilitation over retribution. There are still differences, nevertheless, when it comes to age criteria and the classification of sanctions: Islamic law places more emphasis on moral and biological maturity (baligh and tamyīz), whereas positive law focuses on strict legislative boundaries. The predominance of formal legality over psychosocial assessment at the investigative level runs the risk of undermining rehabilitative goals. In order to maintain proportionality and child protection, this study suggests a reconstructive paradigm that operationalizes maqāṣid-based principles, combines thorough psychological evaluation, and improves diversion measures. In addition to realistically advancing the creation of a more equitable, rehabilitative, and child-centered investigative framework, the research theoretically advances the conversation about harmonizing state and Islamic law.

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of implementing Law Number 27 of 2022 concerning Personal Data Protection in Indonesia's efforts to prevent and combat phishing crimes. This research employs a normative legal method to analyze the implementation of the PDP Law in the context of preventing and combating phishing crimes. The findings indicate that the PDP Law has provided a comprehensive legal framework for protecting personal data, including data that is often targeted by phishing attacks.The implementation of the PDP Law is overseen by the Personal Data Protection Authority, which has the authority to impose administrative sanctions, support law enforcement processes, and evaluate cross-border data transfers. To achieve maximum effectiveness in combating phishing crimes, strong synergy is needed between the government, private sector, and the public. The PDP Law has provided a good legal framework, but the success of its implementation is highly dependent on the commitment of all parties to work together in protecting personal data.

The development of deepfake technology, which utilises artificial intelligence to manipulate images, videos and sounds, has led to a serious threat of sextortion. In the Indonesian context, high internet penetration and low awareness of digital security increase the risk of this crime. This research analyses the legal consequences of the misuse of deepfake technology in sextortion based on the Electronic Information and Transaction Law (UU ITE). Using normative juridical methods and descriptive-qualitative analysis, this research examines the legal challenges faced in enforcing sanctions against this crime and provides recommendations to strengthen the legal framework in Indonesia. The results show that there are gaps in the legal framework that need to be addressed, as well as the importance of education and capacity building of law enforcement in dealing with cybercrime. In addition, the development of more sophisticated deepfake detection technology is expected to be a solution in tackling this abuse in the future.

Article 170 paragraph (1) of Law Number 1 of 2022 concerning HKPD emphasizes the synchronization of fiscal planning and policy for integrated national development. However, in the APBA (Aceh Provincial Budget) planning, discrepancies persist between the Aceh Government’s documents and the central fiscal policy direction, leading to synchronization that remains administrative rather than substantive. This issue is further complicated by Aceh's special status under Law No. 11 of 2006, which results in differences in macro indicators, program structure, and a lack of substantive participation from Aceh, creating epistemological inequality and structural injustice in central-regional financial relations. The research aims to understand why APBA management planning is not fully synchronized with government policy and to explore the ideal procedure for achieving synchronization, considering Aceh’s unique autonomy. This study is a normative juridical analysis using a legislative, conceptual, historical, and futuristic approach, with the application of authority theory, policy suitability theory, asymmetric decentralization theory, and good governance principles. The findings reveal that the lack of synchronization is caused by procedural issues, such as the absence of integration between RKPD (Regional Government Work Plan) and RKP (National Government Work Plan) schedules, the lack of a mechanism for reducing KEM-PPKF indicators, unclear fiscal support evaluation, and absence of guidelines and sanctions. Additionally, there are substantial issues like the incompatibility of Aceh's macro indicators with national targets. To achieve ideal synchronization, normative legality, equal central and regional authority, and integrated planning systems are needed.

The Indonesia Pintar Program (PIP) serves as a strategic state instrument to ensure equitable access to education for children from low-income families, in accordance with the constitutional mandate. However, the prevalence of fund embezzlement poses a severe threat to the fulfillment of these educational rights. This study aims to analyze the structural and institutional dynamics triggering fund misappropriation, evaluate the effectiveness of current oversight mechanisms, and formulate strategies to mitigate such violations. This research employs a normative legal method with a descriptive-analytical approach, utilizing statutory and socio-legal analysis to examine regulations such as Law No. 20 of 2003 and relevant ministerial decrees. The findings reveal that embezzlement is driven by complex structural factors, including data asymmetry between Dapodik and DTKS, weak internal supervision, and a lack of transparency in fund distribution. Furthermore, legal enforcement remains suboptimal, often limited to administrative sanctions due to difficulties in proving mens rea and poor coordination among law enforcement agencies. The study concludes that current oversight mechanisms are insufficient to curb corruption in the education sector. Therefore, comprehensive reform is urgently needed, focusing on the integration of digital data systems, the implementation of e-audits, and the enhancement of civil society participation to ensure accountability. These measures are essential to protect the constitutional rights of children and ensure that education funds reach their intended beneficiaries without leakage.    

In Indonesia, maritime safety remains a problem. Ship captains and ship owners often disregard maritime safety standards, particularly for fishing vessels. Provisions for criminal liability for domestic fishing vessels that fail to meet maritime safety standards are an important legal instrument for regulating and enforcing maritime safety regulations in the fisheries sector. Failure of vessels to comply with safety requirements, such as the completeness of safety equipment, engine condition, and vessel structure, can potentially lead to accidents that endanger the lives of crew members and negatively impact the marine environment. This study uses a normative research method with a legislative approach. This article focuses on examining aspects of criminal liability, including the subjects, objects, and legal sanctions imposed for violations of maritime safety standards. The results indicate that perpetrators of violations can be subject to criminal sanctions in the form of fines, detention, and even revocation of vessel operating permits, taking into account human rights and environmental protection. Effective and synergistic law enforcement between relevant authorities is essential to provide a deterrent effect, encourage compliance with safety standards, and improve the system for the sustainability of marine resources.

This research aims to analyze the criminal liability of perpetrators of fraud through bounced checks and the legal protection provided to victims. The study focuses on Decision Number 1698/Pid.B/2022/PN Sby, in which the defendant was found guilty of fraud under Article 378 of the Indonesian Criminal Code (KUHP). Using a normative juridical approach through literature study with statutory and conceptual approaches, the findings demonstrate that the panel of judges correctly applied the elements of fraud, including malicious intent (mens rea), the use of deception or a series of lies, and actual loss suffered by the victim. The judge's legal considerations have reflected the principles of legality, justice, and legal certainty in criminal law. Legal protection for victims can be pursued through both criminal and civil legal remedies, where victims may report to police for criminal prosecution under Article 378 KUHP and claim compensation through civil breach of contract lawsuits. Law enforcement against perpetrators is carried out through repressive and preventive criminal sanctions. This decision confirms that bounced check fraud is not merely a civil breach of contract but can be classified as a criminal offense when accompanied by malicious intent to deceive others.

Drug abuse constitutes a serious threat to public health, social stability, and national security. This study examines law enforcement mechanisms against drug abuse under Indonesian Law Number 35 of 2009 on Narcotics and evaluates preventive measures implemented to combat this phenomenon. Employing a normative juridical approach through a comprehensive literature review, this research analyses the implementation of both penal and non-penal approaches in addressing narcotics-related offences. The findings reveal that law enforcement practices predominantly emphasise punitive measures, despite legislative provisions accommodating rehabilitation for drug users. The dual approach integrating criminal sanctions with social and health services remains suboptimal due to institutional constraints, limited rehabilitation facilities, inadequate training for law enforcement personnel, and weak inter-agency coordination. Preventive efforts through education, family empowerment, school-based programs, community engagement, and media campaigns have been implemented but continue to face challenges, including social stigma and insufficient public awareness. This study recommends strengthening restorative justice implementation, expanding rehabilitation service capacity, and enhancing cross-sectoral collaboration to build societal resilience against drug abuse while ensuring that users receive appropriate treatment rather than mere criminalisation.

Physical violence against journalists remains a serious threat that hinders the functioning of democracy in Indonesia. Law Number 40 of 1999 concerning the Press explicitly guarantees legal protection for journalists through Articles 8 and 9, which emphasize freedom from censorship and the right to seek and disseminate information. However, criminal law enforcement against perpetrators of physical violence has not been optimal, leading to a culture of impunity. This study uses a normative juridical approach by analyzing the Press Law regulations, the provisions of the Criminal Code on assault (Articles 351-355), as well as the theoretical basis of Satjipto Rahardjo's preventive-repressive legal protection and Moeljatno's law enforcement principles. The results of the study indicate a significant gap between strong legal norms and weak enforcement practices,  characterized by the dominance of mediation by the Press Council and a culture of impunity for perpetrators, often involving state apparatus. According to AJI reports from 2020-2025, there have been 84 to 89 cases annually, with only 15-20% processed criminally. The main obstacles include a lack of coordination between institutions, minimal awareness of law enforcement officials, victims' reluctance to report due to social pressure and fear of reprisals, and institutional solidarity among perpetrators. This impunity not only traumatizes journalists but also induces self-censorship, reduces investigative journalism quality, and weakens democratic checks and balances. Recommendations include revising the Press Law for stricter sanctions, enhancing law enforcement training, and establishing independent investigation teams under Komnas HAM to combat impunity effectively. 

The illicit circulation of narcotics in Indonesia has undergone a fundamental evolution into cyber-enabled crime, where drug syndicates systematically exploit children as technical operators through digital media to sever the main network chain and evade legal detection. This study aims to analyze the anatomy of the modus operandi of narcotics transactions involving children in the digital realm and examine its legal implications for the process of proof and criminal liability. Utilizing an empirical juridical research method with a sociological approach conducted in the jurisdiction of the Metro Police Resort, Lampung, this research identifies a shift in modus operandi towards the "Map System" or Dead Drop Method. In this modus, the child's role is divided into three sophisticated technical stages: pre-transaction via encrypted communication, field execution (mapping & dropping) using precise GPS coordinates, and post-transaction involving digital cleaning, which creates a phenomenon of crime "gamification" where children perceive the criminal act akin to an online game mission. The legal implications of this phenomenon present serious challenges regarding the validity of electronic evidence, which is volatile due to a weak chain of custody, as well as the reconstruction of the child's mens rea, which points towards premeditated intent (dolus premeditatus) driven by high digital literacy rather than mere negligence. These conditions complicate the application of pure diversion as mandated by law; thus, this study recommends a hybrid punishment approach where law enforcement proceeds to break impunity, but sanctions focus on specific rehabilitation in the Special Guidance Institution for Children (LPKA) to reorient the children's digital skills positively.

Law Number 35 of 2014 on Child Protection plays a strategic role in providing legal protection for children who are victims of violence, bpth physical and psychological. The enactment of this regulation represents the state’s response to the increasing number of violence cases againts children, which necessitate a more comprehensive and child-oriented legal protection system. This law strengthens legal instruments through the recognition and protection of children’s rights, the imposition of criminal sanctions againts perpetators of violence, and th provision of recovery mechanisms for child victims. However, in practice, the implementation of the Child Protection Law continues to face various challenges, including weak law enforment, limited protection fasilities and infrastructure, and inadequate coordination among relevant institutions. These obstacles have resulted in the suboptimal realization of legal protection for child victims of violence. Therefore, the effectiveness of Child Protection Law largely depends on the responsiveness and commitment of law enforcement officials, as wekk as the synergy between the government, society, and families. Through such collaboration, optimal and sustainable child protection can be achieved.

This study aims to analyze Article 445 paragraph (1) of the Indonesian Criminal Code (KUHP) Number 1 of 2023, which regulates the criminal act of eloping with a young woman. The provision is considered to be in tension with the social and cultural realities of Indonesian society, particularly the people of Lombok who practice the merariq tradition. Merariq is an ancestral customary practice within marriage rituals involving the consensual elopement of the prospective bride as an integral part of the marriage process. This research uses Lawrence M. Friedman’s legal system theory, which examines three main components of law: (1) the substance of law—normative provisions contained in legislation; (2) the structure of law institutions and law enforcement agencies; and (3) the legal culture values, attitudes, and behavior of society toward law. This study is a normative legal research that treats law as norms, principles, doctrines, and rules. The primary legal material is Article 445 paragraph (1) of the Indonesian Criminal Code. The findings indicate that, from the perspective of legal substance, the article remains ambiguous. Its formulation potentially conflicts with Indonesia’s legal culture, which in practice prioritizes familial and traditional mechanisms for resolving private conflicts. Based on these findings, this study recommends a reformulation of the legal substance to make it more responsive to the socio-cultural context. The reformulation should be grounded in the principles of ultimum remedium and restorative justice, providing space for customary law and local culture as legitimate mechanisms to resolve private disputes. This approach is expected to reduce the disproportionate use of imprisonment and position criminal sanctions as a last resort in law enforcement.
