Cyberbullying, Justice-Based Law Enforcement, Legal CertaintyAbstract
Cyberbullying has emerged as a significant legal challenge in Indonesia due to the rapid expansion of digital communication and the absence of comprehensive legal regulation specifically addressing this offense. This study aims to analyze the current law enforcement process based on the principle of justice and to formulate an ideal legal framework for combating cyberbullying in Indonesia. This research employs normative legal research using statutory, conceptual, and comparative approaches, supported by primary and secondary legal materials analyzed qualitatively. The findings reveal that existing law enforcement remains fragmented, resulting in legal uncertainty and limited victim protection. The study proposes a justice-based framework integrating legal certainty, human rights protection, restorative justice, institutional coordination, and strengthened digital forensic capacity to achieve more effective and equitable cyberbullying law enforcement.
