Restorative Justice as an Alternative Solution in Handling Persecution Cases at the Nias Police Station
Get PDFThis study examines the application of Restorative Justice as an alternative solution in resolving the crime of persecution at the Nias Police Station. Restorative Justice is an approach that focuses on restoring the relationship between victims and perpetrators through mediation, not just punishment. The research method used is qualitative research with a descriptive approach through interviews, observations, and document studies. The results of the study show that Restorative Justice is applied in cases of minor persecution through several stages, namely case identification, agreement between the victim and the perpetrator, mediation involving community leaders, and the making of a peace agreement. This approach has proven effective in reducing the burden on the criminal justice system and providing more inclusive justice for victims and perpetrators. However, its implementation still faces obstacles, such as lack of public understanding, disagreements between victims and perpetrators, unclear regulations, and customary influences that burden perpetrators. In addition, there is resistance from the police who still tend to rely on the conventional judicial system. To increase its effectiveness, wider socialization, training for police officers, and the preparation of clearer technical guidelines are needed. With this strategy, Restorative Justice can be a more optimal approach in resolving the crime of persecution in a fair and sustainable manner

In conclusion, the collaboration between Jiniso and micro-influencers successfully creates strong social and emotional bonds, significantly enhancing brand awareness among Generation Z. This study highlights the importance of collaborative communication strategies and adaptive influencer selection in digital marketing communication practices
Developing a Village Financial Governance Model: A Case Study of Maitara Tengah Village, Tidore Islands City, Indonesia
Get PDFThis study explores the development of a village financial governance model in Indonesia, with a specific focus on Maitara Tengah Village, Tidore Islands City. It addresses four critical issues commonly encountered in village financial management: lack of transparency, weak accountability, limited community participation, and inadequate financial planning and reporting capacity. Employing a qualitative methodology, data were collected through interviews, field observations, and document analysis conducted between 2022 and 2024. The findings reveal that the effective use of village funds is constrained by limited administrative capacity, poor regulatory enforcement, and largely symbolic participatory mechanisms. To address these challenges, the research proposes a context-sensitive governance model that integrates principles of good governance, collaborative planning, and adaptive institutional design. The model aims to enhance transparency, accountability, and participatory engagement while accommodating the unique socio-cultural and geographic characteristics of remote and island communities. This study contributes to the broader discourse on village autonomy and decentralized rural development by offering a scalable and inclusive governance framework suited to the Indonesian context

Evaluation of the Impact of Credit Policy on Financial Performance
Get PDFThis study aims to analyze the impact of credit policy on the financial performance of national banking companies in Indonesia, focusing on how credit policies influence factors such as profitability, financial stability, and liquidity. A quantitative approach is used in this research, with secondary data obtained from published financial reports of national banks, as well as data from the Financial Services Authority (OJK) and Bank Indonesia (BI). The data analysis technique employed is linear regression to examine the relationship between credit policy and financial ratios, including Non-Performing Loans (NPL), Return on Assets (ROA), Return on Equity (ROE), and the Operating Expenses to Operating Income ratio (BOPO) over the period 2015–2022. The results show that the credit policies implemented by banks have a significant impact on profitability, with an average ROA of 2.4% and ROE reaching 12.5%. Moreover, poor credit risk management was found to increase the NPL ratio to 3.2% and lower the banks’ financial performance. Meanwhile, a positive relationship between sound credit risk management and bank liquidity can be observed through the BOPO ratio, which stands at around 75%, indicating operational efficiency. Based on these findings, it is recommended that banks improve their credit risk policies to enhance their performance and financial stability
The Influence of Principal Academic Supervision, Lead Teacher Competence, and Work Environment on Lead Teacher Capacity
Get PDFThe discourse on teacher leadership in developing contexts has long suffered from a narrow gaze, obsessed with competencies, yet blind to conditions; fixated on training, yet inattentive to power. This study disrupts that pattern. Anchored in the evolving landscape of Indonesia’s Guru Penggerak (Mobilizing Teacher) program, we offer a systems-level examination of what truly drives teacher capacity in public elementary schools. Through a robust quantitative analysis, we illuminate the triadic architecture of capacity-building: principled supervision, professionally grounded competence, and an ecologically supportive work environment. The results are not subtle; together, these factors explain 93.4% of the variance in mobilizing teacher capacity. But the implication is not merely statistical. It is structural, cultural, and political. We argue that academic supervision must be reimagined, not as a mechanism of oversight but as a dialogic practice of pedagogical stewardship. Teacher competence must be untethered from static checklists and understood as a socially constructed, morally anchored, and continuously evolving enactment of professionalism. The work environment, too often treated as backdrop, is revealed here as a core determinant of whether teacher leadership is cultivated or crushed. This is not a call for more policy, it is a demand for coherence. Without structural alignment among leadership practices, professional learning ecosystems, and institutional cultures, no reform initiative, no matter how visionary, will outlive its training modules

Implementation of Class Policy Based on the Reception of Vocational High School Teachers
Get PDFThe role of teachers in shaping students’ character and ideology in Vocational High Schools (SMK) is essential, particularly in internalizing the values of heroism courage, sacrifice, integrity, and dedication. This study explores how gender differences among teachers influence classroom policy implementation as a medium for instilling the ideology of heroism. Using a qualitative descriptive approach and Moser’s research design (1989), the study analyzes how 50 SMK teachers (25 male and 25 female) in Tegal Regency respond to heroic values after reading Eko Prasetyo’s novel "Poor People Are Forbidden from Going to School." Data were collected through instruments reflecting teachers' classroom policies and analyzed based on gender differences. Results show that female teachers generally implement classroom policies with greater tolerance, such as permitting students to leave class for competitions or excusing those who accompany peers in the school clinic. In contrast, male teachers are more likely to adhere to strict rule enforcement, such as reprimanding students who fall asleep despite working for their families. However, both male and female teachers avoided imposing severe punishments, demonstrating a shared understanding of the educational context. This study confirms that while the core values of heroism are shared, gender influences the methods of ideological internalization. These findings contribute to understanding pedagogical gender dynamics and emphasize the need for a standardized and consistent approach to character education to avoid value confusion among students
