What is Criminal Justice?
Criminal justice in Indonesian legal studies examines penal codes, prosecution practices, corrections systems, restorative models, corruption trials, and human rights compliance in Indonesia.
Research focuses on reforming law enforcement through progressive law perspectives (Lutfil Ansori, 2018, 113 citations) and contemporary criminal justice systems (Romli Atmasasmita, 2010, 111 citations). Key areas include restorative justice for minor crimes (Muhaimin, 2019, 59 citations) and evidence roles in trials (Bastianto Nugroho, 2017, 59 citations). Over 20 papers from 2010-2022 analyze these systems, with foundational works pre-2015 holding highest citations.
Why It Matters
Criminal justice reforms address judicial backlogs and rising crime, improving rule of law as analyzed in law enforcement optimization (Lutfil Ansori, 2018). Restorative justice reduces case overloads for minor offenses (Muhaimin, 2019), while studies on sexual violence enforcement highlight post-2022 law challenges (Eko Nurisman, 2022). Corruption culture in officials undermines public trust, necessitating systemic changes (Bambang Slamet Riyadi et al., 2021). Police investigation effectiveness impacts conviction rates in regions like Banggai (Hardianto Djanggih & Kamri Ahmad, 2017).
Key Research Challenges
Law Enforcement Gaps
Progressive law struggles against institutional inefficiencies in prosecution and policing (Lutfil Ansori, 2018). Complex problems persist in enforcement processes despite reforms. Police effectiveness varies regionally, as seen in Banggai investigations (Hardianto Djanggih & Kamri Ahmad, 2017).
Restorative Justice Adoption
Implementing restorative models for minor crimes faces resistance from punitive traditions (Muhaimin, 2019). Cultural norms like Siri' na Pacce conflict with formal decisions (Muhammad Ikram Nur Fuady, 2019). Penal mediation lacks full integration into systems (Lilik Mulyadi, 2013).
Evidence and Corruption Handling
Evidence roles under KUHAP often fail to ensure fair trials (Bastianto Nugroho, 2017). Corruption in judiciary and politics persists post-reform (Bambang Slamet Riyadi et al., 2021). Corporate criminal liability remains urgent but underdeveloped (Kristian, 2014).
