Hukum pidana adat terdapat kaedah-kaedah yang mencerminkan nilai-niIai moral yang tinggi yang berlaku secara universal bagi seluruh masyarakat di Indonesia. Dengan demikian dapatlah disimpulkan bahwa hukum pidana adat telah mencerminkan nikai-nilai dalam pendekatan hukum progresif. Oleh karena itu, hukum pidana adat adalah mutlak perlu mendapatkan tempat bagi pembentukan KUHP Nasional di masa yang akan datang sebagai salah satu upaya pembaharuan hukum. Namun kiranya perlu dipertimbangkan bahwa didalam memberikan tempat kepada hukum pidana adat bagi pembentukan KUHP Nasional tersebut hendaknya dicari kaedah-kaedah yang hanya berlaku secara universal bagi seluruh masyarakat. Kaedah-kaedah tersebut kemudian dikodifikasikan dalam KUHP Nasional, sehingga ia akan menjadi kaedah-kaedah KUHP Nasional semata-mata, bukan sebagai kaedah hukum pidana adat lagi. Dalam hal ini berarti bahwa kedudukan hukum pidana adat telah digantikan hukum pidana nasional, namun yang tetap dijiwai perasaan hukum yang hidup didalam seluruh masyarakat di Indonesia. Adapun konsep transplatasi sanksi bagi pelanggar hukum pidana setempat, sebaiknya pengadilan memilih menjatukan tindakan (maatregel) yang dipertimbangkan dapat memberikan beban bagi si pelanggar, namun sebaliknya dapat memberikan manfaat langsung bagi rnasyankat setempat. Hal ini bertujuan mengembalikan keseimbangan yang ada didalam masyarakat yang bersangkutan. Hal yang kiranya perlu mendapat perhatian didalam menjatuhkan sanksi kepada si pelanggar hukum pidana setempat adalah : 1. Beratnya sanksi yang berupa tindakan tersebut disesuaikan berat ringannya pelanggaran yang dilakukan. 2. Beratnya sanksi juga disesuaikan dengan tingkat kemampuan si pelanggar yaitu sejauh mana ia dapat melaksanakan sanksi itu. 3. Apabila pelanggaran hukum pidana adat setempat tersebut ternyata terdapat pidananya didalam KUHP NasionaI, maka yang barus dipergunakan banyalah kaedah dan sanksi yang dirumuskan didalam KUHP Nasional. Customary criminal law has methods that reflect high moral values that apply universally to all people in Indonesia. Thus it can be concluded that customary criminal law reflects values in a progressive legal approach. Therefore, customary criminal law is absolutely necessary to get a place for the formation of the National Criminal Code in the future as an effort to reform the law. However, it is important to consider that in providing a place for customary criminal law for the establishment of the National Penal Code, methods should be sought that are universally applicable to all people. These methods are then codified in the National Criminal Code, so that they will become the National Criminal Code solely, not as a customary criminal law method anymore. In this case it means that the position of customary criminal law has been replaced by national criminal law, but that is still imbued with a feeling of law that lives in all people in Indonesia. As for the concept of transplanting sanctions for local criminal law offenders, the court should choose to unite actions (maatregel) which are considered to be a burden on the offender, but instead can provide direct benefits to the local community. This aims to restore the existing balance in the community concerned. Things that need attention in imposing sanctions on local criminal offenders are: 1. The severity of sanctions in the form of such actions is adjusted for the severity of the violations committed. 2. The severity of the sanction is also adjusted to the level of the offender's ability, namely the extent to which he can implement the sanction. 3. If the violation of the local customary criminal law turns out to have a criminal offense in the National Criminal Code, then only a number of methods and sanctions should be used which are formulated in the National Criminal Code.

The grounds and conditions for the application of restrictive measures applied to persons, who have committed domestic violence, are provided in Art. 911 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. It is established that in the science of criminal law there is a unanimous position that the basis for the application of restrictive measures under Art. 911 of the Criminal Code is the commission by a person of a crime related to domestic violence, and the conditions are: 1) sentencing a person not related to imprisonment; 2) release of a person from criminal liability on the grounds provided by the Criminal Code; 3) release of a person from punishment on the grounds provided by the Criminal Code. These conditions are alternative. The content of the concept of «crime related to domestic violence» is analyzed and it is established that it should be understood more broadly than the act provided for in Art. 1261 of the Criminal Code «Domestic Violence». It is proposed to add to Art. 911 of the Criminal Code a note explaining the meaning of the term «criminal offense related to domestic violence», where it is necessary to note that this concept is broader than the crime under Art. 1261 of the Criminal Code. The content of each of the conditions of application of restrictive measures is analyzed. It has been established that in the application of restrictive measures during the imposition of non-custodial sentences in practice there are problems with the interpretation of the relevant concept. It is proposed to clarify the meaning of the concept of «punishment not related to imprisonment» in Art. 911 of the Criminal Code. It is also established that the application of restrictive measures in releasing a person from criminal liability is a declarative norm and is subject to exclusion from the conditions of application of restrictive measures due to the incompatibility of the latter with the nature of exemption from criminal liability. The legislation clearly regulates the procedure for applying restrictive measures to persons released from serving a probation sentence. A number of problems that arise during the control over the behaviour of persons to whom restrictive measures have been applied by the probation authorities have also been identified. The solution to these problems is possible by harmonizing the provisions of the Criminal Code and the Law of Ukraine «On Probation», as well as other regulations governing the activities of probation bodies. It is proposed to refer the application of restrictive measures to supervisory probation, which will lead to a number of changes to the articles of the Law of Ukraine «On Probation» in terms of regulation of supervisory probation, to refer to probation subjects persons subject to restrictive measures, and to exclude the fact that it is assigned to a person released from serving a probation sentence, and in the regulations governing the development and implementation of probation programs to provide for their application to persons to whom restrictive measures have been applied. It is concluded that the probation body should be endowed with a coordinating function to implement all restrictive measures and it is necessary at the level of bylaws to establish a clear procedure for interaction of the probation body with the National Police, local state administrations and local governments to control the behaviour of individuals, which the appropriate restrictive measure is applied.

Pencurian dalam Kitab Undang-Undang Hukum Pidana (KUHP) diatur dalam Buku Kedua Bab XXII tentang Kejahatan terhadap harta benda dari Pasal 362 sampai dengan Pasal 367 KUHP, dengan acaman hukuman tergantung daripada jenis atau kriteria tindak pidana pencurian yang dilakukan. Pasal 362 KUHP menentukan bahwa “Barangsiapa mengambil sesuatu barang, yang sama sekali atau sebagian termasuk kepunyaan orang lain, dengan maksud akan memiliki barang itu dengan melawan hak, dihukum karena pencurian, dengan hukuman penjara, selama-lamanya 5 tahun atau denda sebanyak-banyaknya Rp. 900,-“, sedangkan pencurian dalam hukum pidana Islam merupakan perbuatan pidana yang diancam hukuman potong tangan (had), sebagaimana Firman Allah SWT dalam Al-Qur’an Surah (Al-Maidah :38), yang artinya “Dan pencuri laki-laki dan pencuri perempuan, maka potonglah tangannya masing-masing”. Ancaman pidana dalam KUHP lebih menekankan kepada ancaman pidana penjara/denda, sedangkan dalam hukum pidana Islam ancaman pidana berupa potong tangan (had) dan ta’zir. Disarankan agar kegiatan penertiban terhadap kejahatan pencurian dapat dilakukan secara efektif dengan mengingat bahwa Provinsi Aceh telah melaksanakan syari’at Islam sehingga untuk kedepannya dapat membuat dan menerapkan Qanun Jinayat yang berkaitan dengan tindak pidana pencurian seperti yang telah ditegaskan dalam Al-Qur’an Surah Al-Maidah:38.The wording of theft in the Criminal Code (KUHP) is worded in the 2Nd Book of Chapter XXII on Crime against Property from Articles 362 to 367 of the Criminal Code, with the threats of apenalty depending on the type or criteria of a criminal act of theft committed. Article 362 of the Criminal Code provides that “Anyone who takes any goods, wholly or partly belongs to any other person, intending to possess the goods againts the rights, is punished for theft, by imprisonment, for a maximum of 5 years or a fine of up to IDR. 900,-”, whereas the theft in Islamic criminal law is a criminal act that is liable by hand-cutting, as what Allah all the mighty says in the Koran of verse (Al-Maidah:38), meaning “And women thief and men thieves, then cut of each hand”. The kinds of punishments in KUHP is more focusing on the threat of imprisonment and fine, while in Islamic criminal law it can be punished by cutting the hand of the perpetrators fulfilling the elements, and if the action is not fulfilling the elements of it, hence it will then punished by judges consideration. It is recommended that the imprisonment and fine ruled in KUHP should be incriminated as the punishment ruled in Article 362 of KUHP is relatively lenient compared to the punishment ruled in Islamic Criminal Law that is much more harsh. In addition, the enforcement towards theft can be enforced effectively as Aceh Province has imposed Sharia Law hence in the future it can impose the law in relation to criminal law as has been ruled in Koran verse: 38.

Restorative Justice adalah merupakan suatu bentuk model pendekatan baru dalam penyelesaian perkara pidana. Model pendekatan restorative justice ini sebenarnya telah digunakan dibeberapa negara dengan fokus pendekatannya kepada pelaku, korban dan masyarakat dalam proses penyelesaian kasus hukum yang terjadi diantara mereka. Walaupun model pendekatan ini masih banyak diperdebatkan dalam tataran teori oleh para ahli, namun dalam kenyataannya tetap tumbuh dan eksis serta mempengaruhi kebijakan dan praktek hukum di banyak negara. Permasalahan dalam penelitian ini yaitu bagaimana mekanisme penerapan pendekatan restorative justice dalam penyelesaian kasus hukum di Indonesia dan bagaimana konsep restorative justice dapat menjadi bagian dari pembaharuan hukum pidana di masa yang akan datang. Dengan menggunakan metode penelitian deskriptif analitis dan bersifat kualitatif, dapat disimpulkan bahwa Indonesia dengan angka kejahatan yang relatif tinggi, patut pula untuk dipertimbangkan model restorative justice ini menjadi bagian dari pendekatan dalam penyelesaian kasus-kasus hukum yang terjadi selama ini. Dalam perkembangannya prinsip restorative justice sudah diintrodusir melalui sejumlah ketentuan dalam RUU KUHP dan diversi terhadap anak, terutama untuk memberikan keseimbangan perhatian diantara stakeholders hukum pidana (pelaku, korban, masyarakat dan negara). Tentunya, model pendekatan ini diharapkan dapat menjadi bagian dari pembaharuan hukum pidana Indonesia di masa yang akan datang guna mencapai keadilan, kepastian dan kemanfaatan sebagai tujuan dari hukum itu sendiri.<p>Restorative justice is a new approach model to solve criminal matters. Restorative justice model is an approach that has actually been used in several countries with focus its approach to offenders, victims and the community in the process of settlement of legal cases that have happened among them. Even though the model has still been widely debated in the level of theory, but in fact, it still grows and exists, also influences policy and practice of the law in many countries. Based on the reasons, the focus of this study, namely: How is a mechanism of a restorative justice approach in solving legal cases in Indonesia? How is the concept of restorative justice that can be a part of the reform of criminal law in the future? The research applies descriptive analysis study and uses qualitative method. The result of the study shows that Indonesia as a law state with criminal figures relatively high ought also to be considered that the model of restorative justice may become an approach for solving legal cases. Restorative justice principles in development have already been introduced through a number of provisions in the Criminal Code Bill and diversion of children, especially to provide a balance among stakeholders in criminal law (perpetrators, victims, community and nation). Of course, this model is expected to be a part of the Indonesian criminal law reform in the future to bring justice, certainty and expediency as the purpose of the law itself.</p>

It was stated that the problem of domestic violence for Ukraine remains relevant. This is evidenced not only by official statistics, but also by the number of people seeking help. A positive step in combating domestic violence is to complement the Criminal Code of Ukraine Art. 126-1. However, the disposition of this article contains some inaccuracies, among them the need to clarify which persons fall under the protection of this article. There is a similar problem in the draft Criminal Code of Ukraine, which the working group is currently working on. The article notes that an understanding of who may be victims of domestic violence as a criminal offense has a great scientific and practical importance. Because it will affect not only the correct criminal law qualification and the imposition of a fair and sufficient punishment, but also the application (or non-application) of restrictive measures against the offender, depending on how the person's actions will be qualified. The author analyzed the concepts of «close relations», «family relations», «close persons». As a result, it was concluded that these categories do not cover all persons protected by the Law of Ukraine «On Prevention and Counteraction to Domestic Violence». Therefore, to eliminate the inconsistency of criminal law with this Law, it is proposed in the disposition of Art. 126-1 «Domestic violence» of the Criminal Сode of Ukraine the phrase «concerning the spouse or the former spouse or other person with whom the guilty is (was) in family or close relations» and also in Art. 4.7.3. «Domestic violence» of the draft Criminal Code of Ukraine shall replace the phrase «concerning a spouse or other close person, including a former one» replaced by «concerning a person covered by the Law of Ukraine «On Prevention and Counteraction to Domestic Violence».

Objective Side

The article deals with the analysis of scientific views, theoretical provisions and legislation, examines the objective side of the misuse of budget funds, for budget expenditures or provision of credits from the budget without determined budget purposes or with its excess. It is proposed to leave part 1 of Art. 210 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, a socially dangerous act in the form of misuse of the relevant funds as the most common in law enforcement, as well as expanding other forms, replacing them with a socially dangerous action in the form of another expenditures of the relevant budgets or funds. Since inter-budgetary transfers are de jure not included in budget expenditures, it is proposed to add to the name and disposition of Part 1 of Art. 210 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, an indication of a socially dangerous act in the form of their implementation. As a result of the study, the authors come to the conclusion about the further actualization of the problematic of the objective side of the criminal offense provided for in Art. 210 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. It is supported the proposal to cover the analyzed criminal law prohibition and other budget violations close in public danger to those directly named in Art. 210 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine to budget violations. It is proposed to determine the objective side of Part 1 of Art. 210 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine in the form of a socially dangerous act in the form of an action: misuse of funds, other expenditures of state or local budgets, or state or local extra-budgetary funds, or the implementation of an inter-budgetary transfer committed contrary to the law or a decision on the local budget. Considering that the analysis of the forms of committing a criminal offense under Art. 210 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, testifies that it can be committed only in the form of active behavior of the subject of a criminal offense, it is proposed in Part 2 of Art. 210 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine to replace the instruction from an act with an action.
