  1. Analysis of Barriers and Challenges in Fostering Children in Conflict with the Law at Transitional Age in Youth Correctional Institutions: Analisis Hambatan dan Tantangan dalam Membina Anak yang Berkonflik dengan Hukum pada Usia Peralihan di Lembaga Pemasyarakatan Pemuda Kelas IIA Tangerang

    The construction of transitional-age children in the Youth Correctional Facility in the future, in accordance with Article 86 of Law No. 11 of 2012 concerning the Juvenile Justice System (SPPA), faces implementation obstacles and main challenges for transitional-age children in the Youth Correctional Facility. The purpose of this research is to find an ideal model for the correctional facility for transitional-age children. The research method used in this study is normative-empirical legal research. The findings of this research show that there are obstacles such as the absence of specific legal regulations governing the guidance of transitional-age children, limited human resources impacting the ineffective implementation of the parole program, and the still high societal stigma not only towards inmates but also towards products resulting from correctional activities. In the future, it is necessary to establish a specific correctional model for children in conflict with the law in accordance with the Juvenile Justice System Law. This can be achieved by ensuring the precision of the institution through the revitalization of the Youth Correctional Facility to restore its original purpose. Additionally, a reactualization of guidance guidelines is needed by updating the implementation of criminal laws, such as creating technical regulations in the form of ministerial regulations. Furthermore, in terms of the precision of the correctional model, it can be achieved by using the Un-Absolute Individual Treatment approach and supported by programs oriented towards certified work skills.

  3. Legal Protection for Online Transportation Service Drivers as Platform Workers in Indonesia: Perlindungan Hukum untuk Pengemudi Layanan Transportasi Online sebagai Pekerja Platform di Indonesia

    Lifting the issue of the absence of clear laws regulating partnership relations in this gig economy context, it puts partners like online transportation drivers in a vulnerable position where they lack alternative livelihoods due to the precariousness of the labor market, leading to job uncertainty and threatening their welfare. This research aims to find alternative policies that accommodate economic actors and driver partners. This paper is a normative juridical study, utilizing the legislative approach (Statutory Approach), conceptual approach (Conceptual Approach), and comparative legal approach (Comparison Approach). In practice, the agreements encountered are partnership agreements, but in reality, they do not place drivers on equal footing or subordinate terms. Therefore, this relationship needs to be transformed into a true partnership (mutualistic partnership) that does not disadvantage either party, even though the collaboration model is based on the gig economy model. The government needs to establish partnership cooperation standards as agreed upon by the parties, regarding rights, obligations, and social guarantees.

    Virtual rape was experienced by a girl under 16 years old who was exploring the Metaverse world, but her avatar was raped by several other avatars.

This research uses normative research methods with a statutory approach, a conceptual approach, and a case approach. According to positive law in Indonesia, there is no law that regulates elements of online sexual violence. This is a proof that there are limited protections for virtual rape victims. There are two views as a solution to these cases in the Metaverse, namely (1) the avatar in the Metaverse is considered a separate legal personality, which means that it is seen as a different entity. (2) Avatars are seen as legal subjects that cannot be separated from the conventional world by using the concept of vicarious liability.

PSO is only mentioned in the clause "considering the intent and purpose of BUMN," which triggers challenges in its implementation without sacrificing the efficiency and profitability of Persero. This study uses a normative legal method, focusing on the study of laws and regulations and legal principles governing the management of BUMN and its role in supporting public policy, with the results showing that the imposition of PSO on BUMN Persero is based on two legal ratios: legal-philosophical and sociological.

The sociological reason reflects the role of BUMN as a government tool to help the state achieve its goals. realizing welfare through basic services, where Persero can play a flexible role as an agent of public policy. This study recommends the establishment of a more detailed legal framework to regulate PSO cost limits for BUMN Persero, so that PSO can be implemented proportionally, support the economic balance of BUMN, and provide benefits to the wider community.
