ERADICATION OF CRIMINAL ACTS OF CORRUPTION: SYSTEMIC STRATEGY AND RECONSTRUCTION OF THE EVIDENCE PARADIGM IN INDONESIAN CRIMINAL LAW

2026-06-04T15:57:43+07:00

Corruption remains a serious problem in the Indonesian legal system, not only because it causes state financial losses but also weakens public trust in government institutions and undermines the principle of the rule of law. The development of corruption shows an increasingly complex pattern, both in terms of the number of cases and the modus operandi used by perpetrators. This condition demands a systemic eradication strategy and the reconstruction of the evidentiary paradigm in criminal law to increase the effectiveness of law enforcement against corruption. This study aims to analyze the strategy to eradicate corruption through a systemic approach and examine the reconstruction of the evidentiary paradigm in Indonesian criminal law. This study uses a normative juridical research method with a statutory and conceptual approach, supported by a literature review of various criminal law and corruption eradication law literature. The results show that corruption eradication cannot rely solely on conventional law enforcement but requires a comprehensive legal system reform that includes institutional strengthening, regulatory refinement, and increased coordination between law enforcement agencies. In addition, the reconstruction of the evidentiary paradigm, particularly through expanding the meaning of the unlawful element and the implementation of more progressive evidentiary mechanisms, is a crucial factor in addressing the complexity of corruption. Therefore, strengthening the legal framework and evidentiary system is a strategic step in realizing more effective and equitable corruption eradication efforts in Indonesia.

ANALYSIS OF THE CAUSES OF LOW LEARNING INTEREST IN ISLAMIC RELIGIOUS EDUCATION AMONG SEVENTH-GRADE STUDENTS AT SMP NEGERI 19 JAMBI CITY

2026-06-04T15:57:43+07:00

Learning interest is an important factor that influences the success of the learning process in schools. Students who have high learning interest tend to be more active in the learning process, pay greater attention to the subject matter, and show stronger motivation to achieve optimal learning outcomes. Conversely, low learning interest may lead to passive participation, lack of concentration, and difficulties in understanding learning materials. This study aims to analyze the factors that cause low learning interest in Islamic Religious Education among seventh-grade students at SMP Negeri 19 Kota Jambi. This research employed a qualitative approach with a descriptive research design. The research subjects consisted of the principal, Islamic Religious Education teachers, and seventh-grade students. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The data analysis technique used included data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The results indicate that the low level of students’ learning interest is influenced by internal and external factors. Internal factors include low learning motivation, lack of study habits, and students' perceptions that the subject is less interesting. External factors include monotonous teaching methods, limited use of learning media, less conducive classroom atmosphere, and lack of family support. Therefore, innovation in teaching strategies, the use of engaging learning media, and continuous motivation are needed to improve students’ learning interest in Islamic Religious Education.

Students with disabilities have the same right to access education. Although in reality, teaching students with disabilities presents many challenges, teachers are still expected to facilitate students' learning needs so that students can get the best education. Teaching English to students with hearing disabilities presents its own challenges. Not only does English have different word and sentence structures from Indonesian, but the sign language used in Indonesian and English is also different. Due to these obstacles, English language learning at SLB B Yakut Purwokerto is not yet optimal. Therefore, through a program to improve English literacy through the use of bilingual storybooks and digital technology-based games, it is hoped that teachers can improve students' ability to acquire English vocabulary and use it in appropriate everyday contexts. The objectives of this community service program are 1) to describe the use of teaching media in English learning in the classroom, and 2) to identify the impact of the use of teaching media in improving the English literacy of students with hearing disabilities at SLB B Yakut Purwokerto. The methods used in this community service program included 1) coordination with the school through observation and discussion and 2) implementation of the community service program, which included the socialization of the community service program, discussion on the use of teaching media to optimize English language learning, practice in using teaching media, and program evaluation. The results of the activities showed positive responses from both teachers and students.
