LEGAL POLICY ON HANDLING CORRUPTION BASED ON MASLAHAH: THE PROBLEM OF DISPARITY IN THE IMPLEMENTATION OF ARTICLE 4 OF LAW OF THE REPUBLIC OF INDONESIA NUMBER 31 OF 1999

Yardi, Piet, Ulum, Bahrul, Halim, Abdul
Abstract: This research is motivated by the issue of the effectiveness of witness and victim protection within the Indonesian criminal justice system, which is considered not yet to fully reflect the values of restorative justice… nor to be harmoniously integrated into the framework of the national legal system. Although regulatory frameworks have been established through Law Number 13 of 2006 as amended by Law Number 31 of 2014 concerning the Protection of Witnesses and Victims, as well as various regulations related to whistleblower and justice collaborator protection, their implementation continues to face normative and structural weaknesses. The lack of synchronization between the Criminal Procedure Code (KUHAP), the Draft Criminal Procedure Code (RUU KUHAP), and other sectoral regulations has resulted in the suboptimal role of the Witness and Victim Protection Agency (LPSK) in guaranteeing the rights of witnesses, victims, perpetrator-witnesses, and reporters, particularly in criminal cases with broad and organized impacts. From the perspective of maqāṣid al-syarī‘ah and the Pancasila Justice Theory, legal protection for witnesses and victims should not be merely procedural-formal in nature, but must be directed toward the restoration of dignity, the assurance of security, and the comprehensive protection of human rights. This study aims to analyze the regulatory weaknesses in witness and victim protection from the perspective of the criminal justice system and to reconstruct such regulations based on restorative justice values. Employing a normative legal research paradigm combined with conceptual, statutory, and theoretical approaches, this research positions the Pancasila Justice Theory as the grand theory, the Legal System Theory as the middle theory, and the Legal Protection Theory as the applied theory. The findings indicate that regulatory reconstruction is necessary through strengthening the institutional position of LPSK, harmonizing it with the Draft Criminal Procedure Code (RUU KUHAP), and reinforcing the protection of whistleblowers and justice collaborators in a more comprehensive and non-discriminatory manner. This reconstruction is directed toward establishing a witness and victim protection system oriented toward restoration (restorative justice), balanced interests among the parties, and the realization of social justice as mandated by the values of Pancasila and human rights principles.

VOLUME GAINS, MARGIN COSTS: PANEL EVIDENCE ON THE COMPOSITION EFFECTS OF A UNIFORM SALES INCENTIVE IN B2B LIGHTING DISTRIBUTION

Syarippudin, Syarippudin, Hasbi, Imanuddin, Hidayat, Agus Maolana
Abstract: Direct incentive programs from a brand manufacturer to a distributor's sales force are uncommon in the Indonesian B2B lighting sector, and their consequences for portfolio composition and distributor profitability have not… ot been empirically tested. This study examines whether a flat 3 percent quarterly bonus, applied uniformly across a portfolio of more than three hundred products spanning a 600-fold price range, produces unintended consequences beyond its stated goal of volume growth. A sequential explanatory mixed-methods design is used. The quantitative phase analyses 781 product-quarter observations covering 326 products over eleven quarters from mid-2023 through end-2025. The qualitative phase uses confirmatory interviews with seventeen informants from distributor management and sales teams. The incentive program successfully drives all four sales performance dimensions measured in the study, covering volume growth, revenue share, transaction frequency, and a cumulative growth index, all of which are statistically significant. However, higher-priced products attract significantly fewer transactions per quarter and grow more slowly over time. Seven of eight hypotheses are supported. Qualitative findings confirm that the incentive effect adds to total selling activity rather than redirecting it, but transaction attention consistently concentrates on lower-priced products across the eleven-quarter period. The study extends agency theory to a three-party setting and provides the first panel-level evidence of composition effects from a uniform sales incentive in Indonesian B2B distribution.

HOSPITAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR MEDICAL MALPRACTICE IN THE PERSPECTIVE OF INDONESIAN CRIMINAL LAW

Kamri, Andi Khaedhir
Abstract: This study aims to analyze the concept and application of hospital criminal liability in cases of medical malpractice in the Indonesian criminal law system, as well as examine the relationship between the individual responsibility… onsibility of medical personnel and the responsibility of hospital institutions. This study uses a qualitative approach with case study methods and a juridical-normative approach enriched with empirical data. Data was collected through in-depth interviews with legal practitioners, medical personnel, and hospital managers, accompanied by a documentary study of laws and regulations, court rulings, and related literature. The results of the study show that criminal liability in cases of medical malpractice is generally still focused on individual medical personnel as direct perpetrators, while the accountability of hospital institutions has not been optimally applied in criminal law enforcement practices. In addition, it was found that there is a complex relationship between the professional responsibilities of medical personnel and the institutional obligations of hospitals in ensuring health service standards, including aspects of supervision, risk management, and medical service systems. This study concludes that it is necessary to strengthen the concept of corporate criminal liability for hospitals in cases of medical malpractice in order to create legal certainty and more balanced protection for patients, medical personnel, and health service institutions. The findings of this study contribute to the development of health law studies and become a basis for consideration for policymakers in formulating more effective regulations and law enforcement mechanisms.

Overall, Village Fund management in Limehu Village has not been optimal in improving the business performance of BUMDes Sinar Utara.

COMMUNICATION STRATEGY OF THE NEI-DT FOUNDATION IN BUILDING COMMUNITY TRUST THROUGH A COMMUNITY-BASED HEALTHCARE SERVICE PROGRAM

Aziza, Saviera Zahra, Kartikawati, Dwi
Abstract: This study aims to analyze the communication strategy employed by the NEI-DT Foundation in building community trust through a community-based healthcare service program in Tritunggal Hamlet, Banyuasin Regency, South Sumatra,… tra, Indonesia. The study is motivated by the importance of organizational communication strategies in enhancing public participation and program legitimacy within rural communities characterized by limited access to information, geographical constraints, and community-oriented social structures. Adopting a constructivist paradigm, this research employs a qualitative approach using an intrinsic case study design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, non-participant observation, and document analysis involving seven informants, including foundation representatives, community leaders, and program beneficiaries. Data were analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña, encompassing data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that the foundation’s communication strategy involves identifying community characteristics, developing simple and contextually relevant messages, utilizing a combination of digital and traditional communication channels, and engaging local leaders as communication intermediaries. Program information is disseminated through village heads, neighborhood leaders, women’s community groups (PKK), social media platforms such as WhatsApp and Facebook, and mosque loudspeaker announcements. The study further demonstrates that the communication pattern reflects the Two-Step Flow of Communication model, in which community leaders function as opinion leaders who mediate organizational messages before they reach the wider community. Community trust is cultivated through the social legitimacy of local leaders, interpersonal communication, direct experiences with program benefits, and the consistency of services provided by the foundation. The study concludes that the effectiveness of community-based organizational communication strategies in rural settings is determined not only by message content and media utilization but also by the organization’s ability to establish interpersonal relationships, adapt communication practices to local cultural contexts, and actively involve community leaders within the communication network. This research contributes to the advancement of community-based organizational communication studies by providing empirical insights into trust-building processes in rural community development programs

Lathifah, Inayatul, Pamungkas, Joko
Abstract: This study aims to describe the professionalism and roles of shadow teachers in supporting inclusive education services at Butterfly Learning Center (BLC). As an institution dedicated to transitioning children with special… al needs (CSN) into formal schooling, BLC implements an intensive one-to-one accompaniment system. This study employed a descriptive qualitative method, with data collected through in-depth interviews, direct observation of accompaniment activities, and document review. The findings indicate that shadow teachers at BLC fulfill multifunctional roles, including identifying each child's specific needs, designing intervention programmes, developing basic independence skills, and providing evaluations and progress reports to parents and classroom teachers. The professionalism of shadow teachers is demonstrated through their ability to adapt instructional strategies in accordance with each child's concentration level, as well as their physical and cognitive limitations. Furthermore, teachers engage in ongoing collaboration with parents to monitor and evaluate children's progress through regular daily reports. This study concludes that the competence and dedication of shadow teachers are critical factors in the successful transition of children with special needs into broader educational settings. An effective shadow teacher does not only focus on academic readiness, but also place equal emphasis on developing independence as a necessary foundation for children's social integration in the future.
