This study aims to analyze the government's policy narrative on SPBE, compare it with emerging counter-narratives, and formulate strategies to strengthen the policy. Using a post-positivist approach and Narrative Policy Analysis (NPA), data were analyzed from reliable news articles published between 2019 and 2024. The articles were selected from the top three ranked media in Scimago Media Rankings Kompas, Republika, and Okezone ensuring credibility and relevance. The findings indicate that the government's policy narrative emphasizes SPBE as a strategic solution for data integration, cybersecurity enhancement, and improved public service efficiency. The main protagonists of this policy include the Ministry of Administrative and Bureaucratic Reform (PANRB), the National Development Planning Agency (Bappenas), and the Ministry of Communication and Information Technology (Kominfo). However, challenges arise from sectoral egos, technical infrastructure weaknesses such as disruptions in the National Data Center (PDN), and recurring data breaches. Counter-narratives highlight the risks of data centralization and suboptimal inter-agency coordination. The study concludes that strengthening the SPBE policy narrative requires inclusive dialogue, comprehensive evaluations of cybersecurity and infrastructure readiness, and intensive public outreach to build trust and ensure effective policy implementation.</em></p> Riyan Israyudin Fajar Mukhammad Arrofi Agung Rahmat Dwiardi Copyright (c) 2025 Journal La Sociale http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/ 2025-02-06 2025-02-06 6 2 281 292 10.37899/journal-la-sociale.v6i2.1825 Nexus between Digital Competency Level and Performance Level of State Civil Apparatus https://www.newinera.com/index.php/JournalLaSociale/article/view/1832 <p><em>This study analyzes the relationship between digital competence and performance of the State Civil Apparatus (ASN) in supporting the Digital Transformation agenda in Indonesia.

This study suggests the need to increase the capacity of village officials and Inspectorate auditors, as well as the use of information technology in the supervision process to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of village financial management.</em></p> Muhammad Syukur Siregar Syafruddin Ritonga Yanhar Jamaludin Copyright (c) 2025 Journal La Sociale http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/ 2025-03-27 2025-03-27 6 2 498 505 10.37899/journal-la-sociale.v6i2.1966 Analysis of the Effectiveness of Public Services Based on Patent Application https://www.newinera.com/index.php/JournalLaSociale/article/view/1967 <p><em>This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of public services based on the PATENT application in Galang District, Deli Serdang Regency. This technology-based public service is expected to increase efficiency, transparency, and accountability in the management of administrative documents. The research method used is a qualitative approach with in-depth interview, observation, and documentation techniques. The study found that PATENT applications have accelerated the process of document management, reduced transportation costs, and increased transparency of service information. However, there are still several inhibiting factors, such as limited technological infrastructure, low digital literacy among the public, technical obstacles to applications, and lack of socialization and training. People who have technological knowledge find it easier to access and use this application, while some people, especially the elderly, are experiencing difficulties. Therefore, efforts are needed to improve digital infrastructure, training for the community, and better system maintenance to increase the effectiveness of these application-based public services. The results of this study provide an overview of the challenges and opportunities in the implementation of technology in public services in the region, as well as provide recommendations to improve service quality.</em></p> Wahyu Andika Syafruddin Ritonga Beby Masitho Batubara Copyright (c) 2025 Journal La Sociale http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/ 2025-03-27 2025-03-27 6 2 506 514 10.37899/journal-la-sociale.v6i2.1967 Cancel Culture in South Korea's Entertainment Industry: Media Framing through the Lens of Deviance https://www.newinera.com/index.php/JournalLaSociale/article/view/1978 <p><em>The media has the power to carry out media framing and the public has the power to believe or not and participate in spreading‎ the results of the media framing or not, which will eventually lead to whether or not a cancel culture happens.

The author conducted a‎ thematic analysis of 9 articles regarding the actor Kim Seon Ho scandal published by Kumparan in the period of 19 October 2021-‎‎22 October 2021 and resulted in 3 divisions of categories: positive (not supporting cancel culture), negative (supporting cancel‎ culture), and neutral. From the 9 news articles that were sampled, after the analysis, the writer produced the following data: 2‎ articles in the positive category, 1 article in the negative category, and 6 articles in the neutral category. Even though there is no‎ dominant framing in the article published by Kumparan regarding the Kim Seon Ho scandal, it can still be concluded that indeed‎ the media has power through media framing, as well as the public who have power over the information obtained from the‎ media (whether it is the result of media framing or not). </em></p> Rizta Insani Ramadhanty Atwar Bajari Trie Damayanti Copyright (c) 2025 Journal La Sociale http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/ 2025-03-27 2025-03-27 6 2 515 523 10.37899/journal-la-sociale.v6i2.1978 Police Performance in Countering Narcotics Problems https://www.newinera.com/index.php/JournalLaSociale/article/view/1979 <p><em>Countering narcotics crimes is one of the major challenges faced by the police, especially the Medan Police, considering the complexity of this crime which has an impact on various aspects of people's lives. This study aims to analyze the legal rules that underlie police performance, the role of the police in overcoming narcotics crimes, and the obstacles faced in the process. The research method used is a quantitative approach with data collection techniques through questionnaires, observations, and document studies. The sample consisted of Medan Police personnel and the local community. The results of the study show that the legal rules that underlie the role of the police, such as Law Number 35 of 2009 concerning Narcotics and the Regulation of the National Police Chief Number 14 of 2012, have provided a strong foundation in the implementation of their duties. The role of the police includes law enforcement, prevention through education, and rehabilitation for victims of narcotics abuse. However, the police face obstacles in the form of limited human resources, increasingly complex modus operandi of perpetrators, lack of community cooperation, and limited budget. These results show the importance of increasing police capacity through technology training, more adequate budget allocation, and active community involvement in narcotics control efforts. Collaboration between the police, government, and the community is needed to create a safer and drug-free environment, especially in the Medan area.</em></p> Bagus Dwi Gangga Wardana Taufik Siregar Serimin Pinem Copyright (c) 2025 Journal La Sociale http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/ 2025-03-27 2025-03-27 6 2 524 531 10.37899/journal-la-sociale.v6i2.1979 Juridical Evaluation of Articles 112 and 127 of Law Number 35 of 2009 Concerning Narcotics https://www.newinera.com/index.php/JournalLaSociale/article/view/1980 <p><em>This study aims to evaluate the application of Articles 112 and 127 in Law Number 35 of 2009 concerning Narcotics and analyze judges' considerations in the application of law and evidence in cases recorded in Decision Number: 154/Pid.Sus/2023/PN.Bnj and Decision Number: 294/Pid.Sus/2023/PN.Bnj. This research uses qualitative research methods with a normative juridical approach and case studies. The results of the study show that the application of Article 112 often does not distinguish between users and drug dealers, so that drug users are often sentenced to heavier penalties even if they are not involved in narcotics trafficking. Meanwhile, Article 127 which provides space for rehabilitation has not been consistently applied by judges in handling cases of narcotics users. Analysis of the two decisions shows that there are inconsistencies in the use of Articles 112 and 127, which have implications for justice for perpetrators of narcotics crimes. Therefore, it is recommended that judges consider the rehabilitation factor for drug users more and not only focus on prison sentences. This research is expected to contribute to the development of a fairer and more humane narcotics law policy in Indonesia.</em></p> Cinthya Audi Daulay Taufik Siregar Isnaini Isnaini Copyright (c) 2025 Journal La Sociale http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/ 2025-03-27 2025-03-27 6 2 532 539 10.37899/journal-la-sociale.v6i2.1980 Implementation of the Role of Ankum and Papera in the Process of Resolving Military Cases in the Jurisdiction https://www.newinera.com/index.php/JournalLaSociale/article/view/1981 <p><em>This study aims to analyze the implementation of the role of Ankum (Superiors Who Have the Right to Sentence) and Papera (Case Submission Officers) in the process of resolving military crime cases in the jurisdiction of the Medan High Military Court I. The approach used is qualitative with descriptive-analytical methods through in-depth interviews, document studies, and observations. The focus of the research includes three main aspects, namely the case administration process in the military judicial environment, the application of fast, precise, and simple judicial principles after the integration of the one-stop system under the Supreme Court of the Republic of Indonesia, and the role of the unitary commander in case resolution. The results of the study show that the case administration process still faces obstacles, especially in terms of the completeness of documents and the accuracy of procedures by Ankum and Papera. Although the one-stop system provides an opportunity to speed up the case process, technological limitations and internal resistance are challenges in the application of the principle of fast, precise, and simple justice. In addition, the role of the unit commander as the initial decision-maker greatly affects the smooth process of resolving cases, even though there is a disparity in the understanding of military law among Ankum. This study recommends increasing legal training for Ankum and Papera, stricter supervision of the implementation of legal procedures, and accelerating the digitalization of the military judicial administration system. Thus, these findings make an important contribution to efforts to improve the military justice system to realize efficiency, transparency, and justice.</em></p> Arif Susanto Taufik Siregar Ridha Haykal Amal Copyright (c) 2025 Journal La Sociale http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/ 2025-03-27 2025-03-27 6 2 540 547 10.37899/journal-la-sociale.v6i2.1981 Development of Islamic-Based Sex Education Module for Students https://www.newinera.com/index.php/JournalLaSociale/article/view/1982 <p style="font-weight: 400;"><em>Article entitled Development of Islamic-Based Sex Education Module for Students at SMP IT Madani Payakumbuh, by Yuliana NIM 20122014. The researcher is interested in taking this title because parents, children and teachers are currently facing serious challenges due to the rampant free sexual behavior and sexual violence against children. Children are not only victims, but also perpetrators of these conditions.

The disparity of judges' decisions refers to the difference in the results of decisions between one judge and another in similar cases. The factors that cause this disparity can come from various aspects, both internal and external, that affect the objectivity of the judge in giving the verdict. Some of the factors found include differences in interpretation of the law, the social and cultural background of judges, as well as pressure from the public and the media. In addition, the subjectivity of judges and inconsistency in the application of legal provisions also play a role in creating injustice in the criminal justice system. This study uses a qualitative research method with a literature study approach and interviews with legal practitioners. The results of the study show that the disparity in judges' decisions in narcotics cases can be minimized by having clear standard operating procedures (SOPs), increasing the capacity of judges in understanding narcotics cases, and providing more intensive professional ethics training. The study also suggests the need for tighter supervision of judges' decisions to ensure that every decision taken is in accordance with the principles of justice and applicable law.</em></p> Dessy Rahayu Taufik Siregar Ridha Haykal Amal Copyright (c) 2025 Journal La Sociale http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/ 2025-03-27 2025-03-27 6 2 556 563 10.37899/journal-la-sociale.v6i2.1983 The Role of Law Enforcement in Overcoming Corruption Crimes in the Form of Bribery by Civil Servants https://www.newinera.com/index.php/JournalLaSociale/article/view/1984 <p><em>Corruption, especially bribery by civil servants (PNS), is a serious problem that threatens the integrity of the government system in Indonesia. Law enforcement in overcoming corruption is very important in order to realize a clean government and free from abuse of authority. The purpose of this study is to analyze the role of law enforcement in eradicating corruption in the form of bribery involving civil servants. This study uses an analytical descriptive approach by examining existing regulations, the role of law enforcement officials, and challenges in implementing law enforcement against civil servants involved in bribery. The results of the study show that despite strict regulations, law enforcement against civil servants involved in bribery practices still faces various obstacles, such as weak internal supervision and the potential for conflicts of interest. Therefore, it is necessary to increase cooperation between law enforcement agencies, such as the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK), the Police, and the Prosecutor's Office, to strengthen the supervision mechanism and take firm action against corrupt actors. This research is expected to contribute to increasing the effectiveness of corruption eradication in Indonesia.</em></p> Hendrik Sout Parningotan Hutabarat Taufiq Siregar M. Ridha H.

I-02/AD/II/2023. This research uses a qualitative method with a normative and empirical approach through document analysis, in-depth interviews, and literature reviews. The results of the study show that the application of the law refers to Article 46 of the Criminal Procedure Code and Law Number 35 of 2009 concerning Narcotics, with the main principle of protecting the rights of third parties in good faith. The judge's considerations include proof of legal ownership, the non-involvement of a third party in the crime, and the balance of justice. However, the obstacles faced include a lack of ownership documents, difficulty assessing good intentions, complicated administrative processes, and lack of legal understanding by third parties. The conclusion of this study emphasizes the importance of synergy between the application of fair, efficient, and responsive laws and the protection of individual rights. In addition, improvements are needed in the administrative process and education to the public to increase legal understanding. This research makes theoretical and practical contributions to the development of the criminal justice system in Indonesia, especially in the case of narcotics crimes.</em></p> Wintar Limbong M.

From a victimology perspective, children as victims of physical bullying have the right to receive protection and recovery to reduce the negative impacts experienced. This study examines the victimology component in order to assess legal protection for kids who are physically bullied. The study employs a normative legal approach, analyzing relevant laws and regulations and examining case studies of their application. The study's findings suggest that Law Number 35 of 2014 concerning Child Protection provides legal protection for kids who are physically bullied. However, in practice, there are still various obstacles, such as low public awareness of victims' rights, lack of psychological and social assistance, and obstacles in the law enforcement process. From a victimology perspective, recovery efforts for victims should not only focus on the legal aspect, but also include psychological rehabilitation, social assistance, and family support so that victims can recover optimally. This study recommends the need for synergy between law enforcement officers, child protection agencies, and the community in ensuring protection and recovery for victims of physical bullying. In addition, there needs to be strengthening of policies related to victim assistance and increasing public awareness to create a safer environment for children.</em></p> Hotman Sinaga Rizkan Zulyadi Serimin Pinem Copyright (c) 2025 Journal La Sociale http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/ 2025-04-25 2025-04-25 6 2 658 668 10.37899/journal-la-sociale.v6i2.2021
