This chapter examines safeguards for suspects and defendants who provide false or coerced confessions, opening with laypersons’ typical acceptance of confessions. The authors then review protections from law enforcement, particularly recommendations that police video-record interviews and interrogations with a balanced perspective. The authors next explore court decisions that shape jurors’ roles in evaluation of confession evidence; they then discuss the growing body of scholarship that investigates jurors’ perceptions and trial decisions. The authors then examine judges, ways that judges differ from jurors and juries, and ways that judges remain vulnerable to false or coerced confessions and the testimony of experts. The authors emphasize the limited effectiveness of these safeguards to prevent a false confession from becoming a mistaken conviction.

The existence of State-Owned enterprises (SOE) as one of Indonesia’s legal entities, whereby the State owns part of all of the capital of the company has presented several legal issues. The BUMN Act that has become the basis for establishing State-Owned enterprises has become its own independent legal subject and separates itself from the wealth of the State and has adhered to the provisions of the Company Law Act so that the capital that is presented by the State to the corporation remains as the capital of the SOE and not form the State. However, existing legislations regarding State funds places the funds for SOE as being part of the State budget. This ambiguity in the status of BUMN Funds is not only found in legislations but also in two different constitutional court decisions that presents inconsistencies towards law enforcers. This clear distinction is crucial in the practice of law enforcement in Indonesia.

The decisions of the appellate courts are a vital part of the environment in which law enforcement and correction must function. The reactions of administrators in these fields to the decisions are, to a considerable extent, a matter of choice. The choices may be labeled provocative, defensive, or positive. The defensive position looks like the easiest one to take but may, in the long run, pose more difficulties than the positive reaction. The positive response is "right" in that it works better than the other responses toward advancing correctional practice.

Enforcement of the criminal justice system in Indonesia can also be carried out by implementing court decisions that have permanent legal force. The party that has the authority to implement the judge's decision is the prosecutor. In the contents of the criminal decision, the prosecutor's office has the authority to immediately carry out the execution in accordance with the Criminal Procedure Code. This study aims to determine the authority of the prosecutor in carrying out the execution, and to determine the execution mechanism for the crime of murder. This research uses normative methods, statutory approaches, conceptual approaches, primary legal materials, secondary legal materials, tertiary legal materials, document studies, literature studies, internet studies and analysis of legal interpretations, and descriptive analysis. The only executing agency in the State of Indonesia is the Attorney General's Office of the Republic of Indonesia. The meaning of executor is the party who has the authority to carry out court decisions based on the applicable law. The results showed that in carrying out court decisions, the prosecutor's office had duties and functions, one of which was as an executor as well as a general prosecutor. A decision that can be executed is only one that has permanent legal force and there are no more legal remedies. Prosecutors as law enforcement officers in carrying out their duties must be based on the applicable legal rules. Do not let the prosecutor violate rules that are not under their authority. Law enforcement officials who carry out executions must carry out the execution as quickly as possible and no criminal offender is executed late.

<em>This paper examines the law enforcement in public domain. The court decisions on many cases often undergo disparities that deny the sense of justice. The disparities increasingly appear when the case comes to people who have political or economic power. However, when the case comes to the poor, who do not have power and so on, the law can be very sharp to enforce. In perspective of the progressive law, the case of </em>Nenek Minah is<em> ideally not relevant to prosecute at the court. In fact, that case shows that the working of the law in Indonesia is still based on the text rather than the context. The law enforcement is solely based on the written provisions (legalistic-positivistic) without paying attention to sociological dimension, so that the law enforcement is still far away from the purpose of law that is able to present the real justice.</em>

No intuito de minimizar a insegurança jurídica e a falta de isonomia trazida pelas decisões judiciais conflitantes sobre a mesma matéria, foi editada a Súmula Vinculante nº 10, que obriga a reserva de plenário mesmo quando o pronunciamento proferido por órgão fracionário de tribunal não reconhecer a inconstitucionalidade da norma expressamente. Mas, esta súmula perderá a sua finalidade se não houver um critério para assegurar que seja aplicada ao mesmo fato que lhe deu origem. Assim, o objetivo desta pesquisa é buscar, na cultura da “common law”, critérios da “ratio decidendi” que gerem maior confiabilidade na aplicação da referida súmula, além de propor uma nova redação. Será usada a pesquisa doutrinária e jurisprudencial, inclusive originária da cultura da “common law”. É esperado chamar atenção dos juristas para a importância do debate sobre a necessidade de maior segurança jurídica e igualdade, notadamente, por meio da aplicação da Súmula Vinculante nº 10. Abstract In order to minimize legal uncertainty and the lack of equality brought about by conflicting court decisions on the same matter was issued Binding Precedent nº 10, which requires the reservation plenum even when the speech given by fractional referring court does not recognize the unconstitutionality of the norm explicitly. But, this summary will lose its purpose if there is no criteria to ensure that it is applied to the same facts that gave rise. The objective of this research is to look at the culture of "common law" criteria "ratio decidendi" that generate greater confidence in applying that precedent, as well as propose a new wording. Doctrinal and jurisprudential research, including original culture of "common law" will be used. It is expected to draw the attention of law enforcement officers to the importance of the debate on the need for greater legal certainty and equality, notably through the implementation of Binding Precedent nº 10.
