Persepsi Mahasiswa Prodi PPKn dalam Mazhab Positifisme Hukum terhadap Penegakan Hukum di Indonesia
Keywords:
Legal Positivism, Law Enforcement, Student PerceptionAbstract
This study aims to analyze the perceptions of Civics Education (PPKn) students regarding law enforcement in Indonesia through the lens of the Legal Positivist School. The background of this research arises from the ongoing issues of inconsistent law enforcement, discriminatory practices, and the gap between normative legal ideals and actual legal implementation. This research employed a descriptive qualitative approach involving approximately 15 PPKn students selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model. The findings reveal that students possess a strong understanding of the concept of a state based on law and the principles of legal positivism, particularly the importance of legal certainty, equality before the law, and objectivity in applying legal rules. However, they perceive a significant discrepancy between these theoretical principles and the reality of law enforcement in Indonesia. Issues such as legal discrimination, inconsistent sanctions, and practices benefiting individuals with power or influence emerged as central concerns. The phenomenon often described as “sharp downward, blunt upward” is seen as evidence that law is not being implemented universally as positivism demands. Students also emphasize that although legal norms are well-established, the implementation of legal positivism in Indonesia is not yet pure due to political interests, excessive discretion by law enforcers, and weak integrity within legal institutions. As future educators, they acknowledge their role in fostering legal awareness grounded in critical and justice-oriented thinking. This study concludes that structural reforms, strengthened professional ethics, and enhanced public oversight are necessary to achieve objective and positivist-aligned law enforcement in Indonesia.
