Cyber Prophetic Paradigm: a Reconstruction of Criminal Law Evidencing Process Based on Digital Forensics and Transcendental Values

Abstract

Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menawarkan paradigma profetik siber sebagai pendekatan alternatif dalam rekonstruksi sistem pembuktian hukum pidana di era digital. Paradigma ini mengintegrasikan teknologi digital forensik dengan nilai-nilai transendental humanis dan liberalis guna menjawab keterbatasan pendekatan legal-formal dan positivistik yang dominan dalam praktik hukum pidana konvensional.

Metodologi penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan normatif-filosofis dengan metode analisis kualitatif terhadap literatur hukum, filsafat, dan teknologi forensik digital. Data dikaji secara sistematis melalui studi pustaka terhadap sumber primer dan sekunder, termasuk jurnal ilmiah, buku akademik, dan regulasi terkait.

Temuan utama menunjukkan bahwa digital forensik dapat berfungsi sebagai fondasi epistemologis dan etis dalam pembuktian hukum pidana apabila dikawal oleh prinsip keadilan substantif, akuntabilitas, dan perlindungan hak konstitusional. Paradigma profetik siber mampu membentuk sistem pembuktian yang lebih humanis, transformatif, dan reflektif, serta mendorong pembaruan regulasi dan desain pendidikan hukum yang adaptif terhadap tantangan era siber.

Implikasi penelitian ini mencakup perlunya reformulasi regulasi pembuktian digital yang berbasis etik dan konstitusional, serta integrasi nilai profetik dalam kurikulum pendidikan hukum untuk mencetak penegak hukum yang tidak hanya kompeten secara teknis, tetapi juga berintegritas konstitusional dan berkepekaan humanis.

Kebaruan/originalitas penelitian ini terletak pada konstruksi paradigma profetik siber sebagai pendekatan integratif yang belum banyak dikembangkan dalam literatur hukum pidana digital Indonesia. Penelitian ini memberikan kontribusi teoritis dan praktis dalam membangun sistem hukum pidana yang lebih adil, bermartabat, dan relevan dengan perkembangan teknologi.

The objective of this research is to offer the cyber prophetic paradigm as an alternative approach in reconstructing the criminal law evidencing system in the digital era. This paradigm integrates digital forensic technologies with humanist and liberalist transcendental values to answer the limitations of the legal-formal and  positivistic approaches, which are currently dominant in conventional criminal law practices.

The methodology of this research is that it uses the normative-philosophical approach with the qualitative method of analysis to literary materials on law,  philosophy, and digital forensic technologies. The data is systematically analyzed using the library study method on primary and secondary data, including scientific journal articles, academic books, and related regulations.

The main findings show that digital forensics may function as an epistemological and ethical foundation in providing evidence in criminal law if guided by the principles of substantive justice and accountability, as well as the protection of constitutional rights. The cyber prophetic paradigm may form an evidencing system that is more humanist, transformative, and reflective, as well as encourage the renewal of the design of legal education and regulations that are more adaptive to challenges in the cyber era.

The implication of this research encompasses the need for a reformulaton of digital evidencing regulations based on ethics and the constitution, as well as the integration of prophetic values in the curricula of legal studies, to educate law enforcers who are not only technically competent, but also have constitutional integrity and humanist sensitivity.

The novelty/originalityof this research lies in its construction of the cyber prophetic paradigm as an integrative approach that has not been much developed in the literature on digital criminal law in Indonesia. This research provides theoretical and practical contributions in developing a criminal legal system that is more just, dignified, and relevant with technological advancements.
