Corrections play a vital role within the integrated justice system, providing a recovery process for law violators. Correctional institutions aim not only to punish but also to rehabilitate and guide offenders toward social reintegration. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of assimilation programs in restoring the lives and livelihoods of prisoners and to explore how correctional institutions implement community-based corrections through these programs. A qualitative research approach was employed, utilizing data from relevant journals and regulations. An empirical legal analysis was conducted to examine the impact of assimilation programs on the rehabilitation of prisoners. The findings indicate that assimilation programs significantly enhance the self-improvement and social reintegration of prisoners. These programs provide essential skills training and community engagement opportunities, which are crucial for reducing recidivism. The study concludes that assimilation programs are effective in facilitating the recovery of prisoners and promoting their reintegration into society. This underscores the need for on-going support and enhancement of such programs within correctional institutions to ensure their success and the safety of the community.

The Position of Civil Servant Investigators in the Disclosure of Money Laundering Crimes after the Constitutional Court's Decision Number 15/PUU-XIX/2021

Jetter Wilson Salamony — Fri, 20 Dec 2024 00:00:00 +0000

The role of Civil Servant Investigators (PPNS) in Indonesia has evolved, particularly
following the Constitutional Court Decision Number 15/PUU-XIX/2021, which
expanded their authority in money laundering investigations. This study aims to
analyze the impact of this decision on the position and authority of PPNS within the
integrated criminal justice system. Using a normative legal approach, the research
employs primary data from the Constitutional Court's ruling and secondary data from
legal literature and relevant media sources. The findings indicate that the Constitutional
Court's decision not only enhances the investigative powers of PPNS but also aligns
them with other law enforcement agencies, such as the National Police and the
Corruption Eradication Commission. Despite this expansion, the study highlights ongoing challenges, particularly the dependency of PPNS on police investigators during
the prosecution process. The relationship between PPNS and other law enforcement
officials is crucial for effective law enforcement and the prevention of money
laundering crimes. The study concludes that the broadened authority of PPNS should
be viewed as a collaborative effort rather than competition, emphasizing the
importance of coordination among agencies to strengthen law enforcement efforts in
Indonesia.

Farly Lumopa, Zaenal Arifin — Fri, 20 Dec 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Judges play a vital role in upholding justice and public trust within the judicial system. This study examines the importance of the Judges' Code of Ethics in Indonesia, emphasizing its influence on the accountability and integrity of judicial decisions. The primary objectives are to analyze how the code serves as a guideline for judges and to assess its impact on public confidence in the legal system. Utilizing a normative juridical research method, the study relies on both primary and secondary legal materials, including legislative documents and case studies. The research involves a comprehensive literature review and a legislative approach to understand the ethical standards expected of judges in their professional conduct. The findings reveal that adherence to the Judges' Code of Ethics is crucial for maintaining impartiality, avoiding conflicts of interest, and ensuring fair trial processes. Ethical violations can significantly undermine public trust, leading to skepticism regarding judicial impartiality and the effectiveness of the legal system. The study highlights that judges must conduct themselves with integrity, uphold the principles of justice, and avoid any actions that could compromise their role. In conclusion, the Judges' Code of Ethics not only serves as a regulatory framework for judicial behaviour but also acts as a foundation for public confidence in the judiciary. For the legal system to function effectively, it is imperative that judges adhere to these ethical standards, ensuring that their decisions are perceived as fair and just.

Suyud Margono — Fri, 20 Dec 2024 00:00:00 +0000

This research addresses the role of Intellectual Property (IP) Lawyers in patent
registration and prosecution, particularly in the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT)
context. In a complex research and development environment, an understanding of the
risk of patent imitation is essential. This study aims to analyze the strategy of
international patent registration through the PCT system and evaluate its effectiveness
compared to national patent registration in Indonesia. This research uses a normative
legal approach by analyzing the literature and practical aspects relating to international
patent registration through the PCT system. The research findings show that
Intellectual Property Lawyers need to have in-depth knowledge of the national and
international patent registration systems. The research also highlights the challenges for
inventors with limited budgets in choosing between national Patent and PCT
registration, as well as the importance of strategic planning in registration to protect
innovation. This research underscores the important role of IP Attorneys in assisting
inventors through the patent registration process, both nationally and internationally,
and emphasizes that the PCT system is a viable option to effectively protect innovation
while managing costs.

Exports of resin commodities significantly affect Indonesia's economy, particularly in
terms of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and employment. This study aims to analyze
the effects of resin commodity exports on Indonesia's GDP and employment
opportunities, and to provide recommendations for enhancing the sector's contribution
through strategic initiatives. The research employs the Error Correction Model (ECM)
to assess the relationship between resin exports, GDP, and employment, utilizing
secondary data over the past decade. Results indicate a strong positive correlation
between resin exports and GDP growth, with the latter significantly influenced by
export revenue. The findings also reveal that the resin sector creates numerous job
opportunities, benefiting not only the industry itself but also related sectors such as
logistics and manufacturing. Enhanced export capabilities can lead to increased
national income and reduced trade imbalances, further stabilizing the economy. In
conclusion, the study highlights the importance of resin commodity exports in driving
economic growth in Indonesia. It provides actionable insights for policymakers to
strengthen the resin sector, improve product quality, and expand market access. By
focusing on sustainable practices and technological advancements, Indonesia can
capitalize on its natural resource wealth, fostering job creation and elevating living
standards across local communities.
