Research Questions

Pasal 18B ayat (2) UUD NRI Tahun 1945 mengamanatkan perlindungan konstitusional terhadap kesatuan masyarakat hukum adat. Namun, perlindungan kontitusional KMHA belum mewujudkan keadilan bagi KMHA itu sendiri. Penelitian ini menggunaan pendekatan sosio-legal, dalam rangka menjawab masalah yang diteliti. Faktor-faktor penyebab belum terwujudknya keadilan bagi KMHA Sedulur Sikep adalah: (1) Belum adanya Undang-Undang khusus tentang KMHA serta keragaman Istilah yang dipakai untuk menyebutkan KMHA, (2) Ego sektoral para pihak, (3) Pengakuan keberadaan KMHA Sedulur Sikep Pati belum dituangkan didalam Perda. Ketiga alasan tersebut berdampak pada konflik yang sering terjadi antara pemerintah dengan KMHA Sedulur Sikep.

Media Form

This article examines the connections between prisoners' radio and community, drawing on a case study of an annual Indigenous prisoners' radio project from Melbourne, Australia called Beyond the Bars, coordinated by community radio station 3CR. It demonstrates that an important aspect of prisoners' radio is its ability, as a media form, to sustain relationships between those inside and outside of incarceration, and as a result maintain community connections. The success of Beyond the Bars as a whole can be attributed in part to the special relationship forged between the local Indigenous community and the radio station itself, which has featured over 30 years of Indigenous broadcasting.

Abstract. Economic changes in the context of globalization have left adolescents from Latin American contexts with few opportunities to make satisfactory transitions into adulthood. Recent studies indicate that there is a protracted period between the end of schooling and entering into formal working activities. While in this “limbo,” illicit activities, such as drug trafficking may emerge as an alternative for young people to ensure their social participation. This article aims to deepen the understanding of Brazilian youth’s involvement in drug trafficking and its intersection with their schooling, work, and aspirations, connecting with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 4 and 16 as proposed in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development adopted by the United Nations in 2015 .
