The subject of the study is the problems of application of the norms of criminal law stipulating responsibility for environmental crimes against representatives of persons of small indigenous minorities of the North, the essence of which is the conflict between the positive law and the customary law of these peoples. The purpose of the study is to analyze the causes of this conflict, as well as to substantiate the necessity of applying the norms of customary law of indigenous peoples of the North in their criminal prosecution for environmental crimes. As a result of the study, the assumption is made that knowledge of the norms of customary law by law enforcement officials will allow to relieve social tension between the indigenous peoples of the North and the law enforcement agencies. That is why it is necessary to begin work on the formation of a code of customary law, as well as recommendations for its application, which could become a document to be used as a recommendation for law enforcement bodies in their decision-making.

This research aims to evaluate the police's request to postpone the criminal charge reading of the blasphemy case at the North Jakarta District Court, which was not based on Indonesia's positive law. The request to postpone a trial by the police without a legal basis could be considered a form of police intervention against the trial process, which has legal criminal consequences based on Article 3 Paragraph 2 and 3 of Law Number 48 of 2009 concerning Judicial Power. Meanwhile, the request for a two-week trial postponement by the public prosecutors due to their inability to complete the criminal indictment, as well as considering the request from the police, has created an impression that the public prosecutors have complied with the request of the police. It also injured public trust that demanded a fair and transparent law enforcement process.

In 2012, heads of local law enforcement agencies in Benton County, Oregon, contacted researchers at Oregon State University to discuss a problem: a sharp rise in the number of contacts between police and suspects displaying symptoms of mental illness. This initial inquiry led to an ongoing collaborative examination of the nature, causes, and consequences of the rise in police contacts. In this article, the authors describe this collaboration between researchers and law enforcement officials from the perspective of both parties, situating it within the context of mental illness in the U.S. criminal justice system. The collaborators draw on firsthand experiences and prior collaborations to discuss the benefits of, challenges in, and recommendations for university–police research collaborations. Although such collaborations may pose challenges (related to relationship definition, data collection and analysis, outputs, and relationship maintenance), the potential benefits—for researchers and law enforcement agencies—are substantial.

In relation to the positive law, the management of marine and coastal natural resources, there is also the rule of customary law. Customary law that still lives and develops in indigenous peoples also regulates the management system and utilization of natural resources in coastal and marine areas. Recognition of the rights of indigenous peoples is constitutionally contained in the 1945 Constitution of the State of the Republic of Indonesia where the state recognizes the existence of the Customary Law Community. In Maluku, marine potency management in general is still done traditionally known as marine customary rights that have been going on for generations but not yet fully recognized either by the government or entrepreneurs who are actually important partners in the development process.

The article is devoted to the concepts of the idea of law and law enforcement. The author justifies the idea that the application of law should be based on the idea of law. Modern trends in law enforcement convince that since the post-war period, law enforcement agencies (and, above all, the courts) increasingly make decisions and sentences not only on the basis of the norms of positive law, but also guided by the norms of morality, ethics, principles of respect for individual rights and freedoms. The idea of law is a concept in which the imperative is expressed in a concentrated form, implying the observance of personal rights and freedoms, morals and ethics, etc., by state bodies. The influence of the idea of law on law enforcement can give the latter properties that correspond to the modern ideas of justice and morality of law. On the basis of the analysis of acts of constitutional justice and judicial precedents, the author proves that judicial decisions and other law-enforcement acts, adopted under the influence of the idea of law, acquire new qualities that allow them to dynamically exert a positive legal impact. As a result, the acts of law enforcement can be considered as a law per se.

In general, penal mediation can be said as a concept that brings together the victims and criminals to discuss their interests and willingness in order to resolve criminal cases that have occurred between them, and are assisted by a mediator who is neutral and help to resolve criminal cases by giving advice and mediating as mediators. The results of the research conducted by normative research and through several literature such as legal books, regulations, and guidelines, show that in fact, reason mediation has been carried out in the community and carried out by several law enforcement officials in the framework of the settlement process criminal. What is done in the midst of Indonesian society is only a peace process that shows customary law as its branch and many are applied within the police in the investigation process to carry out procedures for resolving criminal acts. The importance and need for penal mediation to be applied in formal law that is developing and prevailing in society can be a special rule that is regulated and is part of criminal procedural law for the sake of legal certainty. Penal mediation can be applied at the level of investigation by the police in the process of resolving criminal cases and creating equal welfare and justice in the wide society for sure
