Corrections is one of the five pillars of the Criminal Justice System. The study aimed to assess the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP) towards the inmates of the jails located in the Province of Agusan del Norte. The study used a descriptive method of research. The survey was given to the 317 inmates. The findings revealed that in the jails under the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology, the majority of the inmates’ responses were slightly dissatisfied. In addition, the food budget of the inmates in the province of Agusan del Norte is not sufficient to provide a complete set of utensils and diet that would provide better nourishment to the inmates. The regular doctor is also not available to provide the regular evaluation of the inmates’ physical and other conditions. The nurse personnel is available but can’t cater to all the inmates’ needs towards emergency cases. Moreover, the Alternative learning system is inaccessible because the budget for school supplies and reading materials is insufficient. It was recommended that the National Government was comprised of the Executive, Legislative, and Judiciary must provide the budget for the creation of additional courts, appointed judges, public prosecutor, public lawyers, and Jail officers. The Bureau of Jail Management and Penology administration should seek a plan and intervention programs that enhance the Bureau’s current services.

Victim Impact Statement

This chapter outlines the “conflict” and “peace-keeping” victim-oriented justice paradigms. The latter empowers the victims of crime, putting them at the center of an encounter and using interindividual mediation or collective circles to address conflict resolution. Two models are critically discussed in the conflict victim-oriented justice paradigm. The European continental “visible victim” model structures the role of the victim as a full-fledged processual party together with the public prosecutor and offender. In this model, the victim has the same rights and powers of the defendant. The “invisible victim” common law model views the victim as a trial witness, participating, for example, through a victim impact statement (in the United States) or victim personal statement (in the United Kingdom) at the sentencing stage. The visible victim conflict paradigm model enhances a victim's role and involvement in the criminal justice system, offering a solution to existing controversial and critical common law system issues.

Law enforcement implementation of fisheries criminal act especially for investigation based on Article 73 (1) of Law No. 45 of 2009 is executed by Fishery Civil Servant Investigator (PPNS), Investigator of Indonesian Navy officer and/or Investigator of Indonesian National Police. This investigation authority is called as attribution authority meaning that the authority is granted by the order of law. This regulation grants the same authority to these three institutions to investigate and submit their investigation report to public prosecutor without any cohesive system in its implementation. If it is linked to Law No. 8 of 1981 as an illustration of criminal justice system of Indonesia which is referred as the basis of common and specific criminal law enforcement, it emerges juridical weakness as a consequence of regulation inconsistency including conflict of norm between Criminal Procedure Code (KUHAP) and Fisheries Act. This inconsistency emerges conflict of authority among those investigators and emerges law indeterminacy. Hence, reformulate investigation authority of fisheries criminal act needs to be conducted along with paying attention on waters territory of Indonesia upon Law No. 6 of 1996 about Waters Territory of Indonesia despite law enforcement mechanism which had to be enforced corporately. This study result concludes that inconsistency of investigation authority formulation in fisheries criminal act in criminal justice system not only emerges fuzziness of norm but also conflict of norm between Law No. 8 of 1981 about Criminal Procedure Code and Law No. 45 of 2009. This emerges because there is an overlapping of investigation authority among 3 institutions, i.e., Fishery Civil Servant, Indonesian Navy and the Police. Formation team of Indonesian Maritime Security Coordinating Board (Bakorkamla) only has an authority as coordinating function. Hence, to maximize the law enforcement in the ocean, function of Indonesian Maritime Security Coordinating Board should be improved as a coordinator of law enforcement in ocean territory of Indonesia.

This study aims to identify efforts to protect the state's economic security through the criminal justice system in the case of nickel mining in Malapulu Block, Kabaena Island, Southeast Sulawesi, Indonesia. The Supreme Court has decided the case with decision number 2633 K/Pid/Sus/2018.

The results obtained in the study show that the KPK Prosecutor made a mistake by withdrawing the appeal that had been made. This condition results in the lack of consideration made by judges in decision making. Secondly, legal experts do not provide a difference in the meaning of economic and financial losses for the state in judex factie and judex jurist. Third, the indictment by the public prosecutor has not described the form of crime committed as an extraordinary crime. Fourth, there is negligence in the corporate sentence.

<p>Anak yang berhadapan dengan hukum dibagi menjadi tiga katagori, yaitu anak yang berkonflik dengan hukum, anak korban, dan anak saksi. Selama ini, perhatian yang diberikan lebih banyak tertuju pada anak yang berkonflik dengan hukum dan anak korban.  Kedudukan anak saksi kurang untuk dikaji.  Penelitian ini dimaksudkan untuk mengkaji lebih dalam kedudukan anak saksi dalam peradilan pidana anak. Permasalahan yang diangkat dalam penelitian ini yakni<em> </em>terkait pengaturan anak saksi dalam hukum positif dan bentuk perlindungan terhadap anak saksi dalam sistem peradilan pidana anak. Penelitian ini termasuk dalam penelitian hukum normatif. Dengan demikian, sumber data yang digunakan adalah data sekunder, terutama yang berasal dari bahan hukum primer berupa perundnag-undangan terkait. Dari data yang diperoleh, selanjutnya akan dianalisis secara kualitatif, sehingga akan menghasilkan suatu penelitian yang bersifat deskriptif analisis. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian, didapatkan hasil bahwa undang-undang yang mengatur paling lengkap tentang anak saksi dalam sisitem peradilan pidana anak adalah UU No. 11 Tahun 2012. Pengaturan mengenai anak saksi cenderung tidak sistematis dalam suatu undang-undang. Ketentuan mengenai anak saksi tersebar dalam berbagai ketentuan perundang-undangan seperti UU No. 8 Tahun 1981 tentang Hukum Acara Pidana, UU Perlindungan Anak, UU Sistem Peradilan Pidana Anak, dan UU Perlindungan Saksi dan Korban. Patut disayangkan, belum diatur tentang jaminan keselamatan bagi anak saksi dan pemulihan mental bagi anak saksi.</p><p><em>Children who are dealing with the law are divided into three categories, children in conflict with the law, children of victim, and children of witness. So far, more attention has been paid to children in conflict with the law and children of victims. The position of children of witness is less to be studied. This study is intended to examine more deeply the position of witnesses in the juvenile criminal justice system. The problem raised in this study is related to the arrangement of children of witnesses in positive law and the form of protection of witness children in the criminal justice system of children. This research is included in normative legal research. Thus, the data source used is secondary data, especially those derived from primary legal materials in the form of related regulations. From the data obtained, then it will be analyzed qualitatively, so that it will produce a descriptive analytical study. Based on the results of the study, it was found that the law that regulates the most complete set of witness children in the criminal justice system is Law No. 11 of 2012. Arrangements regarding witness children tend not to be systematic in a law. Provisions regarding witness children are spread in various legislative provisions such as Law No. 8 of 1981 concerning Criminal Procedure Law, Child Protection Act, Child Criminal Justice System Law, and Witness and Victim Protection Act. Unfortunately, it has not been regulated about the guarantee of safety for witness children and mental recovery for witness children.</em><em></em></p>

In the Indonesian criminal justice system, every public prosecutor possesses the authority to cease criminal prosecution in the name of public interest. In contrast, in the Netherland, only the Attorney General (Procureur Generaal) at the Supreme Court has this authority.  This article discusses this authority to cease of terminate criminal prosecution in the name of public interest.  To do this a comparative approach is used in which the ruling of this authority to terminate criminal prosecution as found in the Draft of the Indonesian Criminal Code will be compared against the same regulation and policy used in the Netherlands.  A doctrinal and comparative law approach will be used. One recommendation resulting from this research is the need to re-evaluate the existing procedure and requirement of terminating criminal prosecution in the public interest in the Indonesian context and the introduction of Rechter-Commissaris into the criminal justice system.

The Right

Background and Purpose: Under the criminal justice system, the burden lies on the prosecution to prove the guilt of the accused. It is worth noting that a criminal trial is not one-sided; it also allows the accused to raise his defence to prove his innocence. The research aims to analyse the right of the accused to raise a defence and when the defence should be raised in a criminal trial process in Malaysia.   Methodology: This research adopts a legal research approach involving a detailed analysis of the relevant legal provisions, case law and scholarly writing related to this area.   Findings: The research found that the Criminal Procedure Code (CPC) (Act 593) is silent as to when the defence should be raised. That being said, with reference to the Supreme Court’s case of Lin Lian Chen v. Public Prosecutor [1992] 1 CLJ 285 (Rep), the accused should introduce his defence at the earliest stage as possible. Failing this may give rise to the presumption that the defence raised was a mere invention. Although the principle has been regarded as a law in raising defence, there are still cases where the accused did not present the defence at an earlier stage.   Contributions: This research contributes to the corpus of legal knowledge of criminal defence, particularly on raising criminal defence in a criminal trial with the aim of providing better protection for the accused in the criminal justice system.

Prosecutors in the United States play multifaceted roles in their criminal justice system. They provide guidance during the investigative stages of cases, lead the prosecution of cases in the country’s adversarial proceedings, police their own profession, and lead legislative efforts aimed at making the system more just for all involved. There are separate prosecuting offices for the separate sovereignties located within the countries. Statutes, constitutions, and case law establish the rights and duties of those separate offices. All prosecuting offices in the United States share the pursuit of justice as their common goal.
