Purwanto, Sigit, Ramsi, Oktaheroe, Hendarwoto, Yeremia, Sulistiyanto, Sulistiyanto, Hartono, Rudi, Subiyantoro, Yudi, Utomo, Bambang
Abstract: Community service initiatives grounded in coastal ecosystems represent a tangible manifestation of the non-military defense paradigm, which is increasingly relevant in addressing multidimensional threats. The activity, conducted… onducted by the Faculty of Defense Strategy at the Republic of Indonesia Defense University (Unhan RI) in Kampung Bahari Nusantara, Sidodadi Village, Teluk Pandan Subdistrict, Pesawaran Regency, South Lampung, on May 22, 2026, involved the planting of 5,000 mangrove seedlings, environmental education, and the distribution of basic food aid to 300 fishers. This article analyzes these activities within the conceptual frameworks of coastal area resilience, sustainable ecosystem management, and the synergy between defense institutions, academia, and local communities. Employing a descriptive-qualitative approach through participatory observation and literature review, the findings indicate that mangrove rehabilitation not only contributes to mitigating coastal abrasion and climate change impacts but also strengthens the socio-economic resilience of coastal communities and serves as a vehicle for instilling the values of national defense among students. This activity recommends the reinforcement of the Kampung Bahari Nusantara program as a model for inclusive and sustainable coastal empowerment and proposes the integration of the silvofishery concept to enhance the economic value of mangrove conservation.

Abstract: This study explores the application of Reality Therapy using the WDEP (Wants, Doing, Evaluation, Planning) technique to improve self-esteem among People Living With HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) at the Panti Sosial Bina Insan Bangun… Daya II in East Jakarta. As PLWHA often face stigma, rejection, and psychological distress, self-esteem becomes a crucial component for mental resilience and social reintegration. This quasi-experimental research employed a pre-test and post-test control group design, involving five selected participants diagnosed with HIV/AIDS aged 18 and above. The intervention consisted of ten group counseling sessions focusing on helping participants identify their goals, assess current behaviors, and plan realistic strategies for change. Self-esteem levels were measured using the Coopersmith Self-Esteem Inventory (CSEI). Pre-test results indicated low levels of self-esteem, with an average score of 31. Following the intervention, the post-test average rose to 48, signifying a 54% improvement and placing participants in the high self-esteem category. Qualitative observations during therapy sessions revealed significant behavioral transformations, including increased emotional regulation, social interaction, self-acceptance, responsibility, and future orientation. The findings demonstrate that Reality Therapy with WDEP is an effective, culturally adaptable approach to psychological rehabilitation in institutional settings. It not only enhances self-esteem but also empowers PLWHA to rebuild their sense of self-worth, establish supportive relationships, and envision a hopeful future. The study contributes to expanding evidence-based psychosocial interventions for marginalized populations in Indonesia.

Indah Virgiartanti, Mutia, Prilisiana Paskahwati, Irma
Abstract: This research aims to determine the relationship between social support and the resilience of drug addicts who are undergoing rehabilitation. The respondents in this study were 160 former drug users. The measuring instrument… ment used to measure social support in this research isThe Social Provision Scalewhich was developed by Cutrona and Russell and has been adapted. Another measuring tool used to measure resilience is the Resilience Quotient (RQ) which was developed by Reivich and Shatte.These two measuring instruments have a reliability value of 0.803 for the social support variable and 0.826 for the resilience variable. The results of this study show that there is a positive relationship between social support and resilience in drug addicts of 0.583 (r = .583; P = 0.000). This means that if drug addicts undergoing rehabilitation have high social support, then their resilience will be high, and conversely if their social support is low then their resilience will also be low.

Azhali Siregar, Mhd

LEGAL PROTECTION FOR VICTIMS WRONGLY ARRESTED IN THE INVESTIGATION PROCESS IN INDONESIA

Burhayan, Mujiburrahman
Abstract: This study discusses legal protection for victims of wrongful arrest during the investigation process in Indonesia. As a state governed by law, Indonesia guarantees the protection of human rights, including for those who… become victims of procedural errors in the justice system. Wrongful arrests constitute a violation of individual freedom and cause physical, psychological, and social suffering. This research employs a normative legal method, drawing on statutory and literature sources. The results show that victims of wrongful arrest are entitled to compensation and rehabilitation, as provided for in the Indonesian Criminal Procedure Code (KUHAP) and Law Number 48 of 2009 concerning Judicial Power. However, compensation provided is still limited to material aspects and has not fully restored the victims’ dignity, reputation, and well-being. Therefore, the state must strengthen legal protection mechanisms and ensure that investigations are conducted professionally, transparently, and in accordance with human rights principles to prevent the recurrence of wrongful arrest cases.

Benny Karya Limantara, Carissa Novira Putri
Abstract: Student brawls involving children remain a recurring social phenomenon in Indonesia and frequently result in serious criminal offenses, including those causing death. Children as perpetrators of criminal acts occupy a special… ecial position within the criminal justice system; therefore, their criminal liability cannot be equated with that of adults. This study aims to analyze the criminal liability of children involved in brawls resulting in death and to examine the application of legal provisions in the Decision of the Tanjung Karang District Court based on the Child Protection Act and the Juvenile Criminal Justice System. The research employs normative juridical and empirical juridical approaches through the study of statutory regulations, analysis of court decisions, and interviews with law enforcement officers. The data were analyzed qualitatively to describe the implementation of juvenile criminal law. The findings indicate that child offenders may still be held criminally liable while observing the principle of the best interest of the child. Judges consider both juridical and non-juridical aspects, including the child’s role in the offense, age, psychological condition, and social inquiry reports, resulting in sanctions that emphasize rehabilitation rather than retribution. This study concludes that the application of juvenile criminal law in cases of brawls resulting in death is in accordance with prevailing legal provisions; however, improvements in the quality of case handling by law enforcement agencies are still necessary to ensure balanced and sustainable child protection and justice for victims.
