Berbeda dengan hukum internasional yang mengatur hubungan antarnegara, Hukum Indonesia adalah sistem hukum nasional yang berlaku di dalam wilayah kedaulatan Republik Indonesia.

Sistem hukum kita unik karena merupakan campuran (pluralisme) dari sistem Hukum Sipil (Civil Law), Hukum Adat, dan Hukum Islam.

1. Sumber Hukum dan Hierarki Peraturan

Di Indonesia, peraturan memiliki tingkatan. Peraturan yang lebih rendah tidak boleh bertentangan dengan peraturan yang lebih tinggi. Berdasarkan UU No. 12 Tahun 2011, hierarkinya adalah:

UUD 1945: Hukum dasar tertulis tertinggi.

Ketetapan MPR (Tap MPR).

Undang-Undang (UU) / Peraturan Pemerintah Pengganti UU (Perppu).

Peraturan Pemerintah (PP): Untuk menjalankan UU.

Peraturan Presiden (Perpres).

Peraturan Daerah (Perda) Provinsi.

Peraturan Daerah (Perda) Kabupaten/Kota.

2. Penggolongan Hukum di Indonesia

Secara garis besar, hukum di Indonesia dibagi menjadi dua ranah utama:

A. Hukum Publik

Mengatur hubungan antara warga negara dengan negara (kepentingan umum).

Hukum Tata Negara: Mengatur struktur organisasi negara.

Hukum Administrasi Negara: Mengatur tata cara birokrasi dan aparatur sipil.

Hukum Pidana: Mengatur perbuatan yang dilarang dan sanksinya (termuat dalam KUHP).

B. Hukum Privat (Perdata)

Mengatur hubungan antarindividu (kepentingan pribadi).

Hukum Perdata: Masalah waris, perkawinan, utang-piutang, dan kontrak (termuat dalam KUHPer).

Hukum Dagang: Mengatur urusan bisnis dan perniagaan.

3. Lembaga Peradilan (Kekuasaan Kehakiman)

Untuk menegakkan hukum, Indonesia memiliki beberapa lembaga peradilan di bawah Mahkamah Agung dan satu lembaga khusus:

Peradilan Umum: Menangani kasus pidana dan perdata (Pengadilan Negeri & Tinggi).

Peradilan Agama: Khusus untuk warga Muslim (perkawinan, waris, hibah).

Peradilan Tata Usaha Negara (PTUN): Menangani sengketa melawan keputusan pejabat pemerintah.

Peradilan Militer: Khusus untuk anggota TNI.

Mahkamah Konstitusi (MK): Lembaga independen yang bertugas menguji apakah sebuah UU bertentangan dengan UUD 1945.

4. Unsur Pluralisme Hukum

Salah satu ciri khas hukum Indonesia adalah pengakuan terhadap:

Hukum Adat: Aturan tidak tertulis yang hidup di masyarakat adat tertentu (diakui sepanjang tidak bertentangan dengan kepentingan nasional).

Hukum Islam: Diterapkan secara formal dalam hukum keluarga (melalui Pengadilan Agama) dan ekonomi syariah.

Fun Fact: Indonesia saat ini sedang dalam masa transisi menggunakan KUHP Baru (UU No. 1 Tahun 2023) yang akan mulai berlaku efektif secara menyeluruh pada tahun 2026 untuk menggantikan KUHP peninggalan kolonial Belanda.

McDavids et al. (2019) discussion is about Program Logic Models. Program Logic Models are visual representations of programs or initiatives. The typical components may or may not identify program objectives, but it should definitely include inputs, program components or activities, program outputs, and some combination of short, mid and/or long-term goals. In your placement, this framework will help you to understand how a policy, program, or initiative is designed or functions.

Identify a policy, program, or initiative at your placement site. Work collaboratively with your supervisor to identify areas where a program evaluation would be useful to them. This will ultimately be the cornerstone of your program evaluation project this semester.

Then, develop a Program Logic Model for that policy, program, or initiative.

My field placement is South Carolina Department of Social Services – Foster Care

1. By this point in the semester, you’ve had time to learn something about your field/clinical placement. Given what you’ve learned about the organization and program evaluation, what are some options for evaluating a policy, program, or initiative? Consider McDavid’s discussion about program evaluation: what type of program evaluation would you likely conduct? Use the language of program evaluation to respond to the question.

• my field placement is South Carolina Department of Social Services, Foster Care.

2. McDavid et. al. (2019) identify several types of validity. From the list below, select the types they discussed.

• Statistical conclusions validity
• Reliability
• Covariation
• Construct validity
• External validity
• Internal validity

3. Fill in the blank

• Validity, broadly, relates to the _______ to which the _______ are capable of credibly describing _______ in the real world.

4. Match terms to definitions

Terms

• External validity
• Measurement validity
• Plausible Rival Hypothesis
• Independent variable
• Operationalized
• Dependent variable
• Quasi-experimental
• Temporal asymmetry
• Covariation
• Retrospective Pre-Tests
• Triangulation

Definitions

• Research design that do not rely on random assignment or control groups.
• Intended to strengthen confidence in the validity of measures used in social research.
• Factors or context that limit the generalizability of the results of the policy, program, or initiative.
• A variable that we expect will be affected by one or more independent variables.
• The variable that is said to be the cause precedes the variable that is the effect.
• There are other factors that could plausibly explain the relationship between the independent and dependent variable.
• Ask participants to estimate their pre-program level of knowledge or experience.
• When we measure constructs, we translate them into measurable operations.
• Empirical measures are valid with respect to the constructs they are intended to measure.
• As one variable varies, the other also changes either positively or negatively.
• An observable characteristic of the units of analysis that we expect to change or affect some other variable.

In about two to three pages for each question, answer the following questions. Note: where you are asked for a real-life example, this means an actual historical example with dates, places, names, organizations, etc.

Please use the assigned course readings. To earn credit, you MUST demonstrate that you’ve read and comprehended the content of the chapters up until this week. In addition, you will need to do additional research for real-life examples.

Make sure all your sources are properly referenced in Chicago style. Endnotes are preferable. 8+ References

Do not use any AI-type software to help you create your work or edit your work. This will mask your knowledge, your critical thinking, your writing style, and the perspective you take. It can insert false facts, vocabulary you did not intend, non-existent sources, and can seriously degrade your learning. My job is to evaluate your work. To do that, I want to see your authentic and genuine worknot something scarred or mutilated by software.

Is it fair for the police to defend a criminal instead of the person who saved the victim? In some cases, the police are seen defending a criminal rather than the person who tried to save a victim. This situation often raises questions about fairness and justice. Many people feel confused and disappointed when someone who acts to protect another person is treated like a criminal, while the real wrongdoer seems to receive more attention.

This usually happens because the law focuses strongly on the loss of life. When a criminal is killed, the police may immediately see it as a serious crime without fully considering the situation. They may ignore the fact that the person acted to save a victim in a dangerous and urgent condition. As a result, the act of helping can be misunderstood as violence.

However, from a moral and legal point of view, saving a victim should be carefully considered. Someone who acts in an emergency does not always have time to think about legal consequences. Their main goal is to stop harm and protect another person. Treating such a person unfairly can discourage others from helping victims in dangerous situations.

Therefore, it is not fair if the police defend a criminal without properly examining the context of the incident. The law should be applied wisely and humanely. Police officers should look at the intention, situation, and urgency before making judgments, so justice can truly protect innocent people.
