The purpose of this paper is to determine if the law currently in force is ineffective and thus contributes to the occurrence of forest offences. The paper analyses the punishments under the National Forestry Act 1984 based on the perceptions of related stakeholders on the effectiveness of those punishments in addressing illegal logging and other forest offences. A questionnaire was utilized to obtain responses from 240 purposively selected stakeholders. The collected data were analysed in the context of measures of central tendency to identify the extent to which the respondents agreed with the stated items. The results demonstrate that the law was generally perceived to be acceptable. The findings also identified compensation payment based on the value of tree or wood as the most significant item, while longer imprisonment term was rated as the least significant item.

Conceptual Study

Wahana Lingkungan Hidup Indonesia (Walhi) of East Java noted that 30% of forest in East Java is deforested every year due to land conversion, illegal logging, fire, and erosion. In fact, East Java has a legal policy in the form of local regulations that have a spirit against deforestation. However, the policy of such law substantially contains problematics, for example, the equation of formulation of criminal acts with the Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 18 of 2013 on Prevention and Eradication of Forest Destruction, which resulted in the regional regulations will be ruled out. Therefore, this conceptual study offers an idea of ​​the need for an update to the criminalization policy on deforestation in the local regulation. In the future, the criminalization policy on deforestation in regional regulations in East Java should contain specific and unregulated formulations of criminal acts in the law, for example, prohibit any form of action that results in the capacity of communities to participate in the prevention and eradication of deforestation practices.

Background Uptake of gun violence restraining orders (GVROs), which temporarily prohibit the possession and purchase of firearms and ammunition from individuals at particularly high risk of harming themselves or others with a firearm, has been slow and heterogenous across California. Insights into the implementation process and perceived effectiveness of the law could guide implementation in California and the many states that have enacted or are considering enacting such a law. Methods We conducted 21 semi-structured interviews with 27 key informants, including judges, law enforcement officers, city and district attorneys, policy experts, and firearm violence researchers. Analysis of transcripts was guided by grounded theory and the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR). Findings The following constructs emerged within 4 CFIR domains as salient features of implementation: 1) implementation characteristics: risk of violence, cost, and adaptability; 2) outer setting: interagency coordination and local firearm ideology; 3) inner setting: readiness for implementation and law enforcement firearm culture; and 4) implementation process: planning and engaging with those involved in implementation. Key informants perceived the law to be effective, particularly for preventing firearm suicide, but agreed that more research was needed. While most indicated that the law resulted in positive outcomes, concerns about the potential for class- and race-based inequities were also raised. Conclusions Implementation of the GVRO law in California was hampered by a lack of funding to support local proactive implementation efforts. This resulted in ad hoc policies and procedures, leading to inconsistent practices and widespread confusion among those responsible for implementation. In states that have not begun implementation, we recommend dedicating funding for implementation and creating local procedures statewide prior to the law’s rollout. In California, recommendations include providing training on the GVRO law—including an explication of agency-specific roles, responsibilities, and procedures—to officers, city attorneys, and civil court judges.

Water Springs

Paya Rebol protected forest serves as the buffer system of water springs source for the communities in several sub-districts around the forest, such as Bener Kelipah, Bandar and Syah main sub-districts. Unfortunately, illegal activity of converting the protected forest to horticultural agriculture (plant cultivation) still occurs to date. The research used was a descriptive-analytical method with an empirical juridical approach, aimed to examine the law in the real sense and investigate how the law performs in the community. The results showed that supervision conducted by the Aceh Department of Environment and Forestry has not been effective. Hence, illegal logging still occurs due to the economic needs, the lack of forest supervisory personnel, the customs of indigenous peoples, and the unclear boundaries of forest areas. Suggestions for the related authorities are to combine and maximize the preventive and repressive efforts, and early detection, to suppress the cases of encroachment and destruction in the Paya Rebol protected forest area. Abstrak: Hutan lindung Paya Rebol merupakan kawasan hutan yang menjadi sistem penyangga sumber mata air bagi masyarakat di beberapa kecamatan yang berada di sekitar kawasan hutan, seperti kecamatan Bener Kelipah, Bandar dan Syah utama, kegiatan perambahan dan pengrusakan hutan (illegal logging) dengan merubah dan mengalihfungsikan hutan lindung menjadi lahan pertanian hortikultura (budidaya tanaman) secara tidak sah, sampai saat ini masih marak terjadi di kawasan hutan lindung Paya Rebol walaupun sebelumnya Dinas lingkungan Hidup dan kehutanan Aceh bekerja sama dengan pihak kepolisian telah menindak lanjuti kasus perambahan di hutan lindung tersebut, yang terbukti melanggar ketentuan Undang-undang Nomor 18 Tahun 2013 tentang Pencegahan dan Pemberantasan Perusakan Hutan.Yang menjadi fokus permasalahan adalah apa faktor penyebab, masih maraknya kegiatan illegal logging yang mengalih fungsikan hutan lindung, bagaimana modus operandi dan vevendi terjadinya kegiatan  illegal logging, bagaimana sistem penerapan sanksi tindak pidana illegal logging yang terjadi di kawasan hutan lindung Paya Rebol, bagaimanakah upaya pencegahan dan penanggulangan terjadinya tindak pidana illegal logging di kawasan hutan lindung Paya Rebol. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah Metode Diskriptif analitis dengan pendekatan Yuridis empiris, yang bertujuan untuk melihat hukum dalam arti nyata dan meneliti bagaimana bekerjanya hukum dalam lingkungan masyarakat serta mengetahui bagaimana penerapan sanksi pidana terhadap kasus illegal logging tersebut. Hasil penelitian menujukan bahwa pengawasan yang dilakukan oleh Dinas lingkungan Hidup dan kehutanan Aceh belum efektif sehingga tindak pidana illegal logging masih terjadi yang disebabkan oleh kebutuhan ekonomi, kurangnya Personel aparat pengawas hutan, kebiasaan masyarakat adat, ketidak jelasan tapal batas kawasan hutan. Saran yang direkomendasikan hendakanya pihak pejabat terkait dapat mengkombinasikan dan memaksimalkan upaya-upaya preventif,upaya represif dan deteksi dini, yang diharapkan dapat terus menekan terjadinya kasus perambahan dan perusakan pada kawasan hutan lindung Paya Rebol.   Kata kunci: Tindak pidana,  Illegal logging, Hutan lindung,  Paya Rebol

Droit De Suite

The principle of droit de suite is one of the most important principles in the law of guarantee,especially in fiduciary security. The principle implies that the rights of the creditor as therecipient of the fiduciary objects continue to follow the object of guarantee, wherever theobject is, to guarantee the repayment of the debts of the debitor. The rights which are ownedby the creditor as the recipient of fiduciary security in the principle seem to be absolute, butin fact if it is related to de practice, the principle of droit de suite has certain limitations.The limitations of this principle is whon it is faced with higher interest, the individual rightsowned by the recipient of fiduciary must succumb, as in the case of illegal logging, whichonce was decided to test the Forestry Law by the Constitutional Court (Case DecisionNumber 012/PUU-III/2005). Although the State can perform fiduciary deprivation of theobject which is used for committing illegal logging, but from the aspect of material criminallaw, it cannot be done immediately to destroy the object of guarantee, since object of thefiduciary collateral, is not considered a dangerous thing. Whereas, from the legal aspects ofcriminal procedure, if the case has been decided, then there is a duty of the State to returnthe object of fiduciary to those who own it.From the aspect of civil law, the creditor as recipient of fiduciary who feel harmed as aresult of illegal logging practices may have standing to sue for damages under Article 1365of Burgerljik Wetboek. The provision is used, because the act of illegal logging is an actagainst the law and there are losses caused to the recipient of fiduciary.

Background and Purpose: A model by the World Bank (2006) explained the causes of illegal logging and environmental crimes in terms of the simultaneous presence of methods, motives, and opportunities. This paper aims to examine the opportunity factors behind the commission of illegal logging and forest offences in Malaysia based on the perceptions of forest enforcement agencies.   Methodology: Responses from the agencies were mainly obtained through a set of questionnaire though semi-structured interviews were also carried out to support the quantitative findings. The strength of the factors was determined through data analysis using SPSS, where opportunity factors for committing illegal logging were analyzed according to the results of measures of central tendency and measures of dispersion.   Findings: Insufficient enforcement facilities and equipment were found in the study to be the most significant factors which present opportunities for committing the offences. Respondents also perceived the level of enforcement, cooperation between government agencies and the possibility of conviction as the factors which open up opportunities for illegal logging and forest offences.   Contributions: The results of the study may help create awareness and provide inputs for policy makers to formulate appropriate policy responses to curb illegal logging and other forest crimes.   Keywords: Environmental crime, illegal logging, opportunity factors, policy response, Act 313.   Cite as: Mohd Noor, M.

Negative Impacts

Forest damage due to illegal logging and logging is known as illegal logging. Legal protection of the rights of indigenous and tribal peoples to the negative impacts of illegal logging based on the concept of national law and customary law can be done by protecting the interests of indigenous peoples, particularly through legislation, namely Article 67 Article (1) (2) and (3) of the Law Law No. 41 of 1999 concerning Forestry. The need for legal protection for indigenous peoples is vulnerable to violations or neglect of their human rights. The state has the responsibility to promote, protect and uphold human rights against its citizens.

Law And Legislation

This research was conducted with the aim of analyzing one area in Riau Province, precisely in Pekanbaru City, which experienced rapid forest degradation caused by illegal logging by criminals. This research was conducted using a normative approach that is related to the problems (legal issues) regarding illegal logging in Pekanbaru City. This type of approach focuses on the analysis of legal principles and theories of law and legislation that are appropriate and related to issues in legal research, and is carried out by examining secondary data in the form of books, journals, government publications related to the legal issues of this research. The results and discussion in this study regarding the implementation of the enactment of Law Number 18 of 2013 concerning Prevention and Eradication of Forest Destruction against individual legal subjects and business entities (corporations) that commit criminal acts in the area of Pekanbaru City. In terms of ensnaring the perpetrators of illegal logging, the existing policies are not sufficient to overcome the problem where the perpetrators of criminal acts are more sophisticated and the law enforcement against the perpetrators of criminal acts is low, so that it does not provide a deterrent effect for the perpetrators. In overcoming the problem, the participation of local communities in forest monitoring and management must be realized because it is not enough only with the law enforcement officers and in terms of regulations, specific regulations must be synchronized with general regulations so that they do not conflict with each other and create flaws in their application. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan tujuan yaitu menganalisis salah satu wilayah di Provinsi Riau tepatnya di Kota Pekanbaru, yang mengalami degradasi hutan cukup cepat diakibatkan oleh pembalakan liar oleh para pelaku tindak pidana. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan menggunakan pendekatan normatif yang bersangkut paut dengan pemasalahan (isu hukum) mengenai pembalakan liar di Kota Pekanbaru. Jenis pendekatan ini berupa analisis terhadap asas hukum dan teori hukum dan peraturan perundang undangan berkaitan dengan isu dalam penelitian hukum, dan dilakukan dengan cara meneliti data sekunder berupa buku, jurnal, publikasi pemerintah yang berkaitan dengan isu hukum penelitian ini. Hasil dan pembahasan dalam penelitian ini adalah mengenai implementasi Undang-Undang Nomor 18 Tahun 2013 tentang Pencegahan dan Pemberantasan Perusakan Hutan terhadap pelaku tindak pidana perseorangan maupun badan hukum (korporasi) di wilayah Kota Pekanbaru. Dalam hal menjerat pelaku pembalakan liar, kebijakan yang ada belum cukup untuk mengatasi permasalahan yang dimana pelaku tindak pidana lebih canggih serta rendahnya penegakkan hukum terhadap pelaku tindak pidana sehingga kurang memberikan efek jera bagi para pelaku. Dalam mengatasi permasalahan maka ikut andil masyarakat setempat dalam pengawasan dan pengelolaan hutan harus direalisasikan sebab tidaklah cukup hanya dengan aparat saja serta dalam hal peraturan, haruslah peraturan yang bersifat khusus disinkronisasikan terhadap peraturan yang bersifat umum agar tidak bertentangan antar satu sama lain dan menimbulkan celah dalam penerapannya.
