Corruption is still a severe problem in Indonesia. In 2022, the Attorney General Office of the Republic of Indonesia alone succeeded in handling 405 of 597 corruption cases in 2022, with a state loss of 39.207 trillion out of a total of 42.747 trillion. When the state loss is combined with the state economic loss, which refers to the indirect financial impact on the state due to corruption, the number will be up to IDR142 trillion. However, the total asset recovery through fines and state loss compensation was only IDR 8.9 trillion. Thus, it only recovers about 12% of state losses due to corruption. One of the efforts to recover state losses is applying the law on money laundering because its main objective is to pursue the proceeds of a crime, including corruption. This paper discusses how the money laundering law will be more optimal in recovering state losses due to corruption and its application in several cases. The method used in this study is normative legal research, especially case studies relating to implementing a money laundering law on corruption cases. From the study, it can be concluded that the anti-money laundering law was not optimally applied in asset recovery in corruption cases. Only in corruption, which indicates an actual state loss, can the anti-money laundering law be applied. Moreover, there should also be an indication that the money laundering process follows corruption. Applying the Anti-Money Laundering Law, whether in the investigation, prosecution, or trial of criminal acts of corruption, has not been optimal, so it has not supported efforts to recover state losses.

Mediation is a method of resolving disputes through a negotiation process with the assistance of either a judge or a non-judge mediator. The Supreme Court of Indonesia set a nationwide aim of 25% for settling disputes by mediation in 2023. However, the actual implementation in the jurisdiction of the Banten Religious High Court is only around 20,7% of the defined target, below the national success rate for religious courts, which has reached 39.85%. One of the main factors is the over-reliance on non-judge mediators and the mediator’s ability to lead the mediation. Thus, mediation management must be improved, and the capacity of mediators, particularly non-judges, must be increased. This study seeks to discuss the effectiveness of dispute resolution by non-judge mediators and how to maximize the level of success in settling disputes by non-judge mediators. This article is a descriptive qualitative study using normative juridical and empirical approaches. According to the findings of this study, the mediation process in religious court institutions, particularly in the jurisdiction of the Banten Religious High Court, has not been effective because most of the process is directed by non-judge mediators who are less qualified than judge mediators. To increase the success rate of the mediation implementation process, the court must take the following steps: Rewarding non-judge mediators, organizing coaching and training programs for non-judge mediators, determining national mediation settlement targets by involving non-judge mediators, implementing hybrid mediation (between judge mediators and non-judge mediators); and conducting regular evaluations of a non-judge mediator.

Abstract.

The major goal of this study is to develop a contextually appropriate and nuanced framework for incorporating recidivism risk indicators into sentencing recommendations in Indonesia. This research seeks to bridge the gap between global best practices and Indonesia’s unique sociocultural setting by performing a deep investigation of the cultural and legal intricacies particular to Indonesia and comparing worldwide methods. The study also highlights the significance of pre-sentence investigations in obtaining a complete picture of offenders’ histories and habits and so shaping sentencing choices. The study’s approach includes a comprehensive review of relevant Indonesian literature, laws, and case law. The methods include a comparative study that draws parallels between domestic and international norms in places like the USA, UK, DE, and FR. The research recommends risk factor criteria that are particular to Indonesia, taking into account the country’s culture and legal system. Juvenile imprisonment, elements in sexual crimes against minors based on age, and complex conceptions of interpersonal connections are all examples of these aspects. The study supports using these culturally sensitive characteristics into sentencing standards to improve the judicial system in Indonesia. The report also emphasizes the significance of pre-sentence investigations in providing judges with comprehensive data for making fair and effective sentences. This study promotes continuing discussion and growth within Indonesia’s criminal justice system by filling in knowledge gaps and providing concrete recommendations for better incorporating recidivism risk variables into sentence guidelines.

Implementing jinayat law enforcement in Sabang of Aceh Province experiences a dualism of settlement, which causes legal uncertainty. This can be observed in practice where the Sabang District Court instead adjudicates cases that should be under the jurisdiction of the Sabang Sharia Court. This article elaborates on the dualism in the settlement that occurs and identifies the causes of the dualism in the settlement of criminal cases using Soerjono Soekanto’s law enforcement factor theory. Based on that, efforts were found that could be made to overcome this dualism. The analysis results indicate that the dualism of settlement can be observed through 6 (six) cases that should be under the jurisdiction of the Sabang Sharia Court but were adjudicated by the Sabang District Court, the majority of which are minor-related cases. There are cases where the same defendant is tried in close succession in both judicial institutions for similar acts with different victims. It happens due to various factors, such as the legal factor: inadequate provisions regarding minors at Qanun Jinayat. Law enforcer factor: other views on minor-related cases and a lack of precision in implementing existing law. Facilitating factor: unavailability of detention rooms at Sabang Sharia Court and budget for executions. Society factors: public lack of legal knowledge. Based on the results of this identification, efforts can be made to include professional law enforcement, harmonization of judicial authority through internal agency regulations, and evaluation of moral offenses in the Qanun Jinayat.

People seeking justice through civil justice often complain about legal uncertainty in terms of execution, because the execution procedure for civil cases does not have definite time period, especially when the Defendant takes other legal remedies such as opposition lawsuits and civil lawsuits, the execution process is also postponed. Moreover, when the losing party uses resistance methods in the execution time, the execution is also postponed. Therefore, this research aims to obtain the value of legal certainty regarding the implementation of the execution, because the losing party or related third parties can pursue a lawsuit against the execution which can prevent the execution. The target of this research is to create a policy model for resolving legal issues related to execution in order to create a sense of legal certainty and justice for the plaintiff (the winning party). The method used is normative juridical with a conceptual approach, statutory approach, comparative approach and philosophical approach. The findings of the research are that: non-compliance with legally binding decisions is still a form of civil contempt because it belongs to the civil domain, it is constructive (indirect) contempt because the execution of a civil case is the last part of the hearing process, so the action is id entified as disobeying a court order occuring when an act that should or should not be carried out by someone ordered or requested by the court in carrying out his or her functions cannot be fulfilled by the person who was ordered. So this unlawful act can be qualified as a criminal act as regulated in Article 281 paragraph (1) of Law Number 1 of 2023 on the Criminal Code (KUHP).

This study delves deeply into the complex dilemma between professionalism and political interests that often grip performance and shape public perceptions of law enforcement officials. With a phenomenological approach applied through integrative and connective literature analysis, this study combines various perspectives, combining findings from multiple relevant studies to create a more holistic and comprehensive understanding. The conclusions of this study firmly state that strengthening the professionalism of law enforcement officers is a significant endeavor because professionalism in law enforcement is an essential foundation for upholding justice, transparency, and human rights. Achieving a high level of professionalism requires a holistic and integrated approach, including institutional reform, adequate supervision, continuing education, and developing a robust organizational culture. Success in law enforcement depends on the strict application of rules and building positive relationships between law enforcement officers and the communities they serve. Through community-based approaches, respect for human rights, and a commitment to integrity and accountability, law enforcement systems can be strengthened to ensure fair, transparent, and trustworthy justice.

Despite legal safeguards for freedom of expression and the right to be heard, consumers frequently encounter legal obstacles, particularly in cases where businesses initiate defamation claims. This issue is exemplified by the cases of Deedi Tjhandra, Muhadkly AT, and Desvalia, wherein consumers, after receiving no response to their complaints from developers, took to social media to post reviews of the apartment they had purchased. In these cases, it was found that the developers had breached contractual obligations, as the apartments and their associated amenities did not conform to the standards advertised in promotional materials. This study aims to analyze the rights of consumers to post video reviews of goods and/or services on social media, especially when such reviews result in defamation lawsuits and subsequent convictions. The court’s ruling, in this case, found Deedi Tjhandra guilty of defamation despite the defamation statute in question having been repealed and replaced by more recent legislation. The updated legislation specifies that legal entities are barred from pursuing defamation claims. Additionally, the court did not consider the regulations established by the Joint Decree and CC rulings. The research employs a normative juridical methodology incorporating legislative and conceptual analyses. The novelty of this study lies in its exploration of the public interest concept within criminal and civil law as it pertains to defamation statutes being met through social media, particularly when these reviews serve the public interest. Additionally, the study assesses the adherence of law enforcement agencies to established regulations concerning defamation.

Family-owned companies have a significant role in enhancing national competitiveness. However, conflicts that lead to court disputes threaten the sustainability of family-owned companies. It has happened because some decisions still need to provide legal certainty. This research analyzes the legal aspect of family-owned companies in Indonesia, as reflected in several court decisions in Indonesia. The research method employs a qualitative case study approach. The research findings identify the existence of family-owned companies in court decisions; however, there are some difficulties, such as in determining the legal standing of disputing parties, potentially detrimental provisional decisions, and complexities in understanding corporate law, especially regarding General Meetings of Shareholders (GMS), dividends, and inter-organizational relationships as well as internal family disputes. The findings highlight the need for courts to consider the unique characteristics of family-owned companies, which could improve the consistency of court decisions, enhance legal certainty in the business sector, and promote sustainable economic activities.
