This article highlights the controversy of revised act of corruption commission (UU KPK) and of the Book of Criminal Law (KUHP) which had heated up. By using legal gap theory, this writing uncovers the legal gap between the contents of revised KUHP and living laws. Consequently, people in the grassroots level seem more enthusiastic about the issue, for example, the fines because livestock entering other people yards than weakening KPK issues that drive a wave of demonstrations at the level of well-educated people. Many studies in the sphere of sociology of law that have conducted gave much attentions to the living law or norm in the mods of society. However there is not much of them which gave attention to the legal gap phenomena, it is the incompatibility between living law and formal one. Whereas, such an approach tend to be considered late if it we aim to put the sociology of law as one discipline of social science which is useful in strengthening the law enforcement. In the hilt of the matter, there is an issue of the legal gap which should have been expressed from the beginning, mainly as to the compatibility between formal and informal law when legislation was going on. By utilizing literature study, the research found that; firstly, the resistance against revised KUHP is the logical consequence of legal gap phenomena that has potential legal conflict. Secondly, there are four major manners could be done to resolve the gap; repression, counseling, reformation and restorative justice.

The concept of Restorative Justice is one of the important things in Law Number 11 of 2012 where restoring the situation as it used to be the main goal and also no less important is the form of criminal sanctions that can be imposed on Children where criminal sanctions that are harsh and miserable are used as ultimum Remedium is not as a premium remedium especially as a maximum remedium. The concept of diversion that should be applied in Indonesia in the future, should be a combination of the concept of diversion that is applied in Australia, namely Police Diversion which is combined with the process of handling cases with the diversion prevailing in Indonesia today.

ABSTRACTThe criminal law that has been used as one of the means to eridicate crime is built on a retributive paradigm, so its repressive and coercive nature dominates. Based on the retributive paradigm, crime prevention is the sole authority of the law enforcement apparatus. Crime prevention based on the retributive paradigm is also offender oriented. Unlike the retributive paradigm, the paradigm of restorative justice offers another way of dealing with crime. In the retributive paradigm of justice, the sanction imposed does not aim to take revenge on the perpetrators of crime but rather sanctions that can arouse the perpetrator's responsibility for the suffering of the victim or sanction aimed at restoring the suffering of the victim. According to the paradigm of restorative justice, the process of solving crimes is done by involving perpetrators, victims and the community. Keywords: crime prevention, criminal law, retributive, restorative justice. INTISARIHukum pidana yang selama ini dipakai sebagai salah satu sarana untuk menangulangi kejahatan dibangun atas dasar paradigma retributif, sehingga sifatnya yang represif dan koersif begitu mendominasi. Berdasar paradigma retributif, penanggulangan kejahatan merupakan kewenangan tunggal aparat penegak hukum. Penanggulangan kejahatan berdasar paradigma retributif juga bersifat offender oriented. Berbeda dengan paradigma retributif, paradigma keadilan restoratif menawarkan cara lain dalam menanggulangi kejahatan. Dalam paradigma keadilan retributif, sanksi yang dijatuhkan tidak bertujuan untuk melakukan pembalasan terhadap pelaku kejahatan melainkan sanksi yang dapat menggugah tanggung jawab pelaku terhadap penderitaan korban atau sanksi yang bertujuan untuk memulihkan penderitaan korban. Menurut paradigma keadilan restoratif, proses penyelesaian kejahatan dilakukan dengan cara melibatkan  pelaku, korban dan masyarakat. Kata kunci: Penanggulangan kejahatan, hukum pidana, retributif, keadilan restoratif.

ABSTRAKPrinsip keadilan restoratif dalam peraturan perundang-undangan hukum pidana yang berlaku di Indonesia hanya diatur dalam Undang-Undang Sistem Peradilan Pidana Anak (SPPA) yang diaplikasikan dalam bentuk diversi, namun diversi tersebut hanya ditujukan bagi pelaku tindak pidana anak bukan untuk pelaku dewasa, peraturan perundang-perundangan pidana Indonesia belum mengatur prinsip keadilan restoratif bagi pelaku dewasa. Dalam praktik penegakan hukum, penerapan prinsip keadilan restoratif bagi pelaku dewasa sebagian telah dilaksanakan melalui diskresi, namun secara teoritis dan pratik pelaksanaan diskresi masih bermasalah karena belum memenuhi tiga nilai dasar hukum yaitu keadilan, kepastian dan kemanfaatan, dan diskresi juga bisa menimbulkan permasalahan ketidakadilan, karena adanya perbedaan perlakuan dalam proses penegakan hukum, sehingga asas “equality before the law” tidak dilaksanakan. Tujuan penelitian adalah untuk mengetahui bagaimana pelaksanaan prinsip keadilan restoratif dalam peraturan perundang-undangan pidana yang berlaku di Indonesia dan bagaimana penerapan diversi bagi pelaku dewasa dalam rangka mewujudkan keadilan restoratif. Jenis penelitian yaitu penelitian hukum normatif atau penelitian hukum kepustakaan, untuk mencari dan menemukan data yang dibutuhkan untuk menjawab permasalahan. Hasil penelitian diketahui bahwa peraturan perundang-undangan hukum pidana Indonesia belum mengatur tentang prinsip keadilan restoratif bagi pelaku dewasa, prinsip keadilan restoratif diterapkan baru sebatas untuk pelaku anak yang diaplikasikan dalam bentuk diversi. Secara teoritis, historis, normatif dan praktik prosedural, diversi juga dapat diterapkan untuk menyelesaikan perkara tindak pidana yang dilakukan oleh orang dewasa, namun perlu adanya perubahan dan penyesuaian terutama dalam hal tujuan pelaksanaan, kwalifikasi jenis tindak pidana dan mekanisme atau prosedur pelaksanaannya.Kata kunci: kebijakan hukum pidana; anak; dewasa; diversi; keadilan restoratif.AbstractThe principle of restorative justice in criminal law regulations in force in Indonesia is only regulated in the Law on the Criminal Justice System for Children (SPPA) which is applied in the form of diversion, however the diversion is only intended for child offenders not for adult offenders, Indonesian criminal laws and regulations do not regulate the principle of restorative justice for adult offenders. In law enforcement practices, the application of the principle of restorative justice for adult offenders has been partially implemented through discretion, but theoretically and practically the implementation of discretion is still problematic because it does not meet the three basic legal values, namely justice, certainty and benefit, and discretion can also cause problems of injustice, due to differences in treatment in the law enforcement process, so the principle of "equality before the law" is not implemented. The research goal is to find out how the implementation of the principles of restorative justice in criminal legislation in Indonesia, and how the application of diversion for adult offenders in order to realize restorative justice. This type of research is normative research or library research, to search and find the data needed to answer the problem. The results of the study note that Indonesian criminal law regulations do not regulate the principles of restorative justice for adult offenders, the principle of restorative justice is applied only to the child offenders which is applied in the form of diversion. Theoretically, historically, normatively and procedural practice, diversion can also be applied to resolve cases by adult offenders, but there needs to be changes and adjustments especially in terms of implementation objectives, qualification of the type of crime and the mechanism or procedure for its implementation.Keywords: criminal law policy; children; adults; diversion; restorative justice.

This article’s purpose is to discuss the prevention of prostitution crime under the guise of gym and fitness center. This study is a normative legal study conducted through literature study or library research using conceptual approach, statute approach and case approach. The results of the study and discussion indicate that prevention of prostitution crime under the guise of fitness place can be done by means of criminal law (penal) and non penal facilities (facilities outside of criminal law). Prevention of criminal acts, especially the crime of prostitution, must be adjusted with the law of development plan which is part of the national development. The process of reforming or establishing a law enforcement is carried out through a formulation / legislation policy, whereas law enforcement and institutional enforcement processes are carried out through the application / judicial appeals and criminal proceedings carried out under the exclusion / administration policy. Constraints in the prevention of criminal prosthesis are due to several factors namely legal factors (law), law enforcement factors, community factors and cultural factors. The legal factors relating to the Penal Code are not directly regulated on the prosecution of prostitution as a form of crime. Law enforcement factors that form the parties or impose the law in this case indicated otherwise tacitly involved in prostitution activities by providing leaks that will be held operations or raids against prostitution activities. Factors of the environment where the law is applicable or applied, the public lacks awareness and few who are willing to be invited to share and the cultural factor as the result of the work, inventiveness, and the sense that is based on human interaction in life.

Progressive law puts forward the sociology of law rather than legal certainty which is the focus of legal positivism. In Indonesia, this law was coined by Satjipto Rahardjo. This study aims to determine the formulation of progressive law in future criminal law, and to determine the actualization of the concept of progressive law in regulating corruption in Indonesia. The research method used is a normative legal research method with statute and conceptual approaches. The technique of collecting legal materials in this study is a descriptive method that aims to obtain the meaning of reality related to the problems to be discussed and solved in this study. The results show that in the current Criminal Code Bill, progressive law has been regulated, to be precise in Article 2 paragraph (1) and (2). Progressive law is also regulated in Law no. 48 of 2009 concerning Judicial Power. Then, the actualization of progressive law in regulating corruption in Indonesia is a judge with the powers that take into account the sociological context of society in making decisions. Judges, prosecutors and lawyers can certainly discuss together in eradicating corruption. Efforts are also being made to reconstruct and redefine the power of law enforcement. This arrangement can also encourage the KPK to be more progressive in eradicating corruption, as well as building law enforcers who have morality so that they can become role models and increase public participation, for example by forming NGOs in preventing or fighting corruption in various agencies.

<p>Law enforcement does not engage in a vaccum space, yet it is related to<br />variables of socio-political condition, mental of the law enforcers, criminal law<br />procedures, law ideology, NGOs, and legal awareness of the society. Moreover,<br />fighting corruption through law enforcement demands collective awareness as<br />stakeholders to actively participate in national efforts to prevent and eradicate<br />corruption. Measures taken on the prevention must be built in socio-political climate<br />and national collective culture which enforce zero tolerance to any forms of corruption, including bribery, gratification, trading influence, illicit enrichment, corporate corruption, political corruption, collusion, and nepotism.</p>

In 2001, a new penal code was adopted in Ukraine after a comprehensive discussion in politics, legal science and society, replacing a codification of the Soviet era dating back to 1960, obviously unsuitable for the new realities. The new penal code of 2001 has been changed many times since then. This also applies to the criminal law provisions against corruption, evaluated and commended by GRECO. However, there is criticism of the criminal law system in Ukraine. A large number of the issues have little or nothing to do with the text of the penal code itself, but with deficits in the application of the law and the resulting loss of confidence in the activities of the law enforcement authorities. The judiciary is said to have a significant corruption problem and is significantly overloaded. The latter is to be counteracted by the introduction of the class of misdemeanor (“kryminalnyj prostupok”) in 2019 that can be investigated in a simplified procedure, which has been criticized, inter alia, because it bears the risk of the loss of quality and possibly infringes procedural rights. Also in 2019, the work on a once again completely new codification of the penal code was commenced, which is not entirely surprising in view to the existing criticism of manual errors or inadequacies of the recent code. It is to be hoped that Ukraine, with the existing will and the necessary strength, will succeed in the creation of a criminal law system that is fully in compliance with the rule of law and that a penal code will be drafted that finally finds full recognition in the society.

Studying of issues regarding criminal infractions – whether intended or imprudent – plays quite a significant role. Fundamental changes taking part in world economy and politics, globalization processes, as well as internal dynamics of country development, undoubtedly, have impact on national legal framework, including criminal law. Therefore, the main goal of the present paper is the analysis of legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan regarding criminal infractions and the law enforcement practice. To reach this goal authors have used methods of comparison, analysis and data systematization. As a result it has been found that in Kazakhstan there are at average 4,3 registered criminal infractions per a convict. The term of criminal infraction has appeared in the Criminal Code in 2014 to cover offences of small gravity and administrative violations that cannot be referred to the sphere of state administration. Authors have revealed the punishment in the present day Kazakhstan is not a main form of criminal responsibility realization. In the majority of cases linked to criminal infractions the persons committed them are relieved from criminal responsibility at the stage of prejudicial inquiry.
