Heri Tahir’s research while affiliated with State University of Makassar and other places

This study aims to examine the variables influencing the South Sulawesi Regional Police Police Academy's inadequate crowd control law resources. The curriculum was ostensibly developed to provide adequate legal education, such as human rights, the proportionality of force, and pertinent standard operating procedures (SOPs); however, comprehensive interviews, direct observations, and document reviews reveal deep discrepancies between taught and practiced legal education. The study identifies that the limitations in the practical training component result from inadequately simulated practical sessions, short duration of the training, and obsolete training apparatus, which do not allow the cadets to attain the necessary skills. These gaps were recently manifested in Makassar, where ill-advised forceful actions against demonstrators were taken, signifying an operational standard far removed from the theoretical one. This was achieved through using qualitative legal methodology. These findings support strategic interventions intended to ensure that legal action officers are better prepared theoretically and practically to manage crowd control in a manner that respects human rights and fosters public confidence.

Objective: This study examines the local wisdom of the Lembang Mesakada Village community from a positive legal perspective, focusing on traditional beliefs and their integration with Indonesia’s legal system. Theoretical Framework: Indonesia’s societal diversity accommodates a range of local wisdom that shapes communal practices. The aluk to'ddolo belief in Mesakada Village, which considers chickens sacred in rituals, highlights how local customs influence justice and conflict resolution processes, aligning with the principles of restorative justice. Method: The research was conducted in Lembang Mesakada Village, Pinrang Regency, South Sulawesi, using qualitative methods such as ethnographic observation and interviews. The focus was on understanding traditional rituals and the role of sacred animals in local justice practices. Results and Discussion: The aluk to'ddolo belief influences the community’s conflict resolution practices, with sacred chickens symbolizing positive actions during rituals. Pigs and buffalo are used as rewards or penalties for violations. Restorative justice is the primary method for resolving civil and criminal disputes, as well as leadership elections. Inheritance issues are addressed communally, with assets dedicated to traditional death ceremonies. Cases unresolved by traditional means are escalated to formal authorities. Research Implication: The findings suggest that local wisdom, particularly restorative justice, can complement Indonesia’s positive legal system, offering insights for culturally sensitive legal reforms. Originality/Value: This research highlights the coexistence of traditional beliefs and formal law, offering a unique perspective on the legal recognition of indigenous practices in Indonesia.
