Prostitution is a fundamental structural problem that occurs in society because it is still understood as a moral problem. Provisions related to prostitution are regulated in the Criminal Code (KUHP), namely Article 296 and Article 506. It can be seen that criminal law only categorizes prostitution as a criminal act against its intermediaries (Pimp or Pimp). Whereas in cracking down on Customers and Commercial Sex Workers not in the Criminal Code specifically regulate it, a legal vacuum occurs. In this paper using a normative research method with the problem approach is the statutory approach. The problem raised in this paper is how the categories of perpetrators in commercial sex activities and how legal action in dealing with customers and commercial sex workers. Based on this, it can be concluded that the regulations governing law enforcement against customers and commercial sex workers are regulated based on the respective regional regulations in each region.

Prostitution cases have emerged as a phenomenon having continuously loaded with law enforcement actions in Indonesia; the modus operandi is getting developed over time. The case that is currently trending is the case of online prostitution. Although prostitution cases have been set forth in the Criminal Code and online transaction-related legal provisions can be found in the Electronic Information and Transaction Law (ITE Law), however, online prostitution cases are in fact difficult to eradicate. This is due to the condition that only the procurers or procuresses can be held liable for the acts, while sex workers (commercial sex workers) and the online prostitution service users cannot. This indicates that the prostitution-related legal arrangement needs to be reconstructed, and for that, the present study has an urgent force to be carried out to review the online prostitution regulations as well as the legal politics to eradicate prostitution, particularly regarding the criminalization of sex workers (commercial sex workers) and the online prostitution service users. This study applies a normative law research method design. The results of the study show that the Criminal Code does not regulate the conviction of commercial sex workers and online prostitution service users, so they cannot be held criminally liable for the act. If the online prostitution-related regulations outside those in the Criminal Code are examined further, sex workers and their service users can be charged with the ITE Law, but the rule is still general in nature - regulating prohibitions that violate decency. Regulations on prostitution can also be found in Regional Regulations (Perda), but not all regions have or issue the regulations on Prostitution, so their enforcement is limited to the territory. The political law that can be learned from this fact is the reform of criminal law through the synergy of the draft of Criminal Code concept through criminalization and the provision of criminal threats against commercial sex workers and the online prostitution service users so that they can be held criminally liable for (penalization).

Looking at the articles in the Criminal Code, there are no articles that can be used to ensnare users of commercial sex services or commercial sex workers themselves. If referring to the law, of course, the targeted parties are only brokers and pimps. This study tries to see how the criminal law foundation can be used to ensnare users of online prostitution services. This research is a type of legal research which is also referred to as empirical legal research. The results of this research are, (1) Law No. 11 of 2008 concerning Information and Electronic Transactions is not appropriate to be used to deal with complex prostitution issues, (2) Law Number 44 of 2008 on Pornography does not explain specifically about users of online prostitution services, so in this case the Act cannot ensnare service users in the practice of online prostitution.

This article examines the Regional regulations relating to prohibition of prostitution in Indonesia from the perspectives of Indonesian Law and Islamic Criminal Law. As this study reveals, a number of contradiction occurs between Regional Regulations with Criminal Code. Such contradictions can be found in a number of regional regulations prohibiting prostitution, such as : No. 5/2002 of Cirebon Regency; Regulation No. 6/2003 of Medan City; Regulation No. 2 /2004 of Palembang City, Regulation No. 13/2002 of South Sumatra Province, etc. The contradictions include the determination of the authorized officers to handle the matter, the rules in case of erroneous arrest, and the determination of sanctions. The Criminal Code sets aside sanctions for Commercial Sex Workers (CSWs) and users of CSWs. It only prohibits of facilitating the immoral acts by other parties.. In Islamic criminal Law, prostitution is considered as a crime whose perpetrators are equated with adulterers sanctioned with stoning or whip.

This paper analyzes how formulation policy of lobster seeds smuggling regulated in Indonesian law to optimize the effectiveness of illegal fishing enforcement, considering penal policy is the basis of criminal law operationalization. This research uses both statute approach and conceptual approach as legal research methods to analyze the issued legal problem. Fishery law in Indonesia regulated in Law No. 45 of 2009 amending Law No. 31 of 2004 concerning Fishery, especially Articles 88 and 16 paragraph (1) which cover the formulation policy of lobster seeds smuggling enforcement. This study will be analyzed into three aspects which are the conduct (the criminal offense), criminal liability, and sentencing system. The result shows that law enforcement regarding the smuggling of lobster seeds in Indonesia is ineffective due to the nonexistence of corporate criminal liability in the fishery law and its sentencing system is lack of both the specific minimum penalty regulation and the penal measures as criminal punishment. However, the draft of the fishery law has already set corporate criminal liability; hence it also regulates the penal measures, in the form of secondary sanctions. Nevertheless, instead of enacting the specific minimum penalty, the draft only determined the maximum penalty as well. Keywords: Formulation Policy, Fishery Law, Lobster Seeds Smuggling.

Currently, the economic sector of public relations is characterized by exceptional criminality. One of the main phenomena responsible for this is illegal money cashing. Almost every business entity considers it acceptable and even necessary to resort to various criminal schemes for obtaining unaccounted cash and tax evasion. The very type of this crime has actually become a thriving and profitable business, which consists in providing services for withdrawing funds from legal circulation. While the existing judicial and investigative practice in the issue of countering this phenomenon has not yet developed a clear answer about the need for appropriate qualifications. There are about a dozen articles of the criminal law in which law enforcement officers try to find the correct legal assessment, and at present, article 172 of the Criminal code of the Russian Federation “Illegal banking activities” deserves special attention.
