This chapter draws together the main conclusions from the preceding eight chapters of the book. In the process, it identifies four issues with the dominant legal perspective around problems at/with work. First, even when legal baselines exist to purportedly protect workers from exploitation and harm they are rarely invoked and are ill-equipped to enable victims to take on (often powerful) state and corporate interests. Second, legal frameworks, especially those based on criminal law, tend to direct attention towards extreme labour market abuse. The problem of work-based exploitation and harm is, therefore, defined in a narrow way. Third, the legal system is predisposed towards the identification of individual criminal actors and is unsuited to the apportioning of blame at an institutional or structural level. Finally, legal frameworks imply that the solution to exploitation and harm lies within a law enforcement approach that first discourages and then criminalises abusive employment relationships. A social harm perspective is liberating in this respect because, while acknowledging the value of criminalising malpractice, solutions beyond criminology are seen as equally, and often more, important.

Vulnerable Workers

Individual worker complaints continue to be the core foundation of employment standards enforcement in many Western jurisdictions, including the Canadian province of Ontario. In the contemporary labour market context where segments of the labour force may be disproportionately impacted by rights violations, and employment relationships are more diverse and often more tenuous than previously, the continued reliance on individual claims suggests a need to better understand the challenges associated with the investigation and resolution of claims involving ‘vulnerable workers’ in precarious employment situations. Using interviews with front-line Ontario employment standards officers (ESOs), this article examines the extent to which certain worker characteristics and employment situations perceived by officers as ‘vulnerable’ are identified by officers as significant constraints or barriers to investigation processes and outcomes, and documents whether and how officers address these constraints and barriers. The analysis also identifies the perceived influence of policy, resource and legislative requirements in shaping how officers deal with the more difficult and challenging cases, while also considering the extent to which the officers’ actions are understood by them as discretionary and guided by their particular orientations or concerns. In so doing, this article reveals challenges to the resolution of claims in precarious employment situations, the very place where employment standards are often most needed.

Memformalisasikan syariat Islam baik dalam ranah kehidupan bermasyarakat dan sosial, dalam bernegara dan berbangsa tidak jarang terjadi perdebatan, baik perdebatan sosial-politik maupun keagamaan. Perdebatan itu di samping menyangkut memahami ajaran agama dan hubungannya dengan negara-bangsa, juga dalam memahami sistem hukum yang ada dalam negera, lebih-lebih bahwa negera menganut sistem hukum positif yang lebih banyak dipengaruhi oleh hukum barat. Gagasan pemberlakuan hukum pidana Islam tidak serta merta dapat dijalankan dengan baik tanpa adanya legislasi dan pembentukan hukum pidana Islam materil sebagai hukum positif yang berlaku. Juga bahwa hukum pidana Islam adalah hukum publik yang membutuhkan kekuasaan negara baik dalam pembentukannya maupun dalam penegakannya. Dalam hubungannya dengan legislasi dan pembentukan hukum (qanun syariat Islam), maka hal yang sangat menarik adalah bagaimana menentukan bentuk jarimah dan uqubatnya baik yang termasuk dalam kategori hudud, qisas, dan takzir sebagai bagian dari sistem penegakan hukum syariat Islam. Takzir as a Punishment in Islamic Criminal Law The formalizing of Islamic Sharia Law both in the realm of social and community life and also in the state and national level. This issue is frequently debatable, both in socio-political as well as in religious matter. The debate is not only about understanding religious teachings and their relationship with the nation, but also about understanding the legal system applicable in the country, especially the country which apply a positive legal system that influenced by western law. The idea of enforcing Islamic Criminal Law cannot be carried out properly without the existence of legislation and the establishment of Islamic Criminal Law as a positive law that enforced. In addition, Islamic Criminal Law is a public law that requires state power both in its formation and in its enforcement. In relation to legislation and the formation of law (Qanun Sharia), the very interesting part is how to determine the form of rahmah and uqubat both are included in the hudud, qisas and takzir categories as part of the Islamic Sharia law enforcement system.

The term conspiring to commit criminal acts in Article 15 of PTPK Act cannot refer to existing norms under Article 88 of the KUHP. The criminal act which is to conspire to commit such acts within PTPK Act has been regulated within the Indonesian legal system and recognized by law enforcers. However, the lack of elaboration and clarity towards this type of criminal act in the PTPK Law has hindered law enforcers from utilizing Article 15 of the PTPK Act to combat corruption. The Constitutional Court has attempted to resolve the legal uncertainty of Article 15 of the PTPK Act, however this has been proven to become burdensome for law enforcers in applying the criminal justifications of conspiracy under the scope of Article 15 of the PTPK Act. The criminal act which is to conspire to commit such acts within PTPK Act has been regulated within the Indonesian legal system and recognized by law enforcers.

<p>Penjatuhan sanksi pidana terhadap pelaku kejahatan kesusilaan pada anak di Indonesia belum seimbang dengan dampak yang ditimbulkannya. Adapun anak sebagai korban dari kejahatan kesusilaan tentu mengalami trauma yang berkepanjangan hingga dewasa bahkan seumur hidupnya. Salah satu upaya yang dapat ditempuh dalam menghadapi problematika penegakan hukum adalah dengan cara pembenahan sistem hukum. Oleh karna itu perlu adanya pembaharuan sanksi pidana bagi pelaku kejahatan kesusilaan sebagai bagian dari sistem hukum. Pembaharuan ini perlu dilakukan karena sanksi pidana yang ada saat ini tidak memberikan efek jera bagi pelaku. Upaya pembaruan hukum pidana yang berkaitan dengan sanksi pidana dalam kasus kejahatan kesusilaan pada anak dapat ditelusuri berdasarkan perumusan sanksi pidana berdasarkan KUHP, UU Nomor 23 Tahun 2002 tentang Perlindungan Anak, UU Nomor 35 Tahun 2014 tentang perubahan pertama atas UU Nomor 23 Tahun 2002 tentang Perlindungan Anak, dan Peraturan Pemerintah Pengganti Undang-Undang (Perppu) No. 1 Tahun 2016 tentang Perubahan Kedua atas Undang-Undang Nomor 23 Tahun 2002 tentang Perlindungan Anak. Dengan demikian tulisan ini secara fokus mengkaji urgensi pembaharuan hukum pidana, khususnya hukum pidana materiil tentang sanksi pidana bagi pelaku kejahatan seksual dalam rangka untuk memberikan perlindungan pada anak korban kejahatan seksual.</p><p><em>The imposition of criminal sanctions against the perpetrators of morality in children in Indonesia has not been balanced by its impact.

One effort that can be taken in dealing with the problem of law enforcement is to reform the legal system. By because it is necessary to reform criminal sanctions for the perpetrators of decency as part of the legal system. These reforms need to be done because there is a criminal sanction which does not currently provide a deterrent effect on perpetrators.

In all areas of the legal world there are higher aspirations, which represent legal values to be protected, like the justice, the common good and legal security stand out. The present work was proposed to analyze if the Ecuadorian Legislator, in its process of construction and promulgation of the criminal law regulating against the unfair competition, incorporated these three values into it. Regrettably, the results show an apparent absence of the three legal values in criminal law, leaving legal operators at a disadvantage in view of the need to control this type of crime and society, awaiting compliance. Through an exercise of legal hermeneutics, the study starts from a real problem in the Ecuadorian legal system of the criminal law against of the unfair competition, which demands to be discussed in the search for the State to take the necessary measures to solve this problem.
