Abstract

This article presents the development of ethnographic research to understand the culture and performance of criminal justice actors (i.e. police, prosecutors, judges, probation officers). This article begins by outlining the lack of socio-legal research in Indonesian criminal justice research, which results in a scarcity of academic contributions to criminal justice reform. This article then provides an introduction to how the socio-legal approach influences criminal law research and how the ethnographic approach contributes to the study of criminal justice. Before the final section of this article, I discuss the challenges of conducting ethnographic research and suggestions based on my experience as an ethnographer.

Bahasa Abstract

Artikel ini mendiskusikan perkembangan penelitian hukum acara pidana dengan pendekatan etnografi untuk memahami budaya hukum dan kinerja Lembaga Penegak hukum (polisi, jaksa, hakim, pembimbing kemasyarakatan). Tulisan akan dimulai dari keresahan akan minimnya penelitian sosio-legal oleh para akademisi hukum pidana yang berimbas pada rendahnya kontribusi akademik dalam perubahan hukum acara pidana di Indonesia. Selanjutnya artikel ini memberi pengantar bagaimana pengaruh pendekatan sosio legal dalam hukum pidana dan juga bagaimana pendekatan etnografi memiliki kontribusi kepada studi sistem peradilan pidana. Sebelum bagian penutup, artikel ini akan mendiskusikan beberapa tantangan penelitian etnografi dan beberapa saran berdasarkan pengalaman peneliti untuk mengatasinya.
