Persons with Disabilities against the Law in Indonesia: The Role of Institutions and Problems
Disabilities have not yet become an important component of Indonesia's criminal justice system, even though the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) place persons with disabilities in its seventeen development goals, and promise "development for all" in sustainable development agendas. This raises questions about the role of institutions and the problem of disability in dealing with the law. Through literature review, observations during January-July on Case Number 159/Pid.Sus/2025/PN Mks, interviews with forensic psychologists, regulatory analysis and decision analysis. The results of the study show that although the role of institutions has not made people with disabilities an important component, there are opportunities for optimization based on several problems that occur. The opportunities are in the form of the implementation of existing legislation, training for Law Enforcement Apparatus, standardization of procedural standards, the use of forensic psychologists and the development of contemporary criminology approaches.
