Focus and Scope

Focus
The Indonesian Journal of Corruption and Criminal Justice (IJCCJ) is devoted to advancing rigorous and innovative scholarship in criminal law, with particular emphasis on corruption as a complex, multidimensional phenomenon that transcends conventional legal boundaries. The journal seeks to interrogate corruption not merely as a juridical violation, but as a systemic issue embedded within broader socio-economic, political, technological, and environmental contexts. By promoting interdisciplinary, multidisciplinary, and transdisciplinary approaches, IJCCJ aims to produce analytically robust contributions that integrate normative legal analysis with empirical and policy-oriented insights. It aspires to deepen understanding of the structural drivers of corruption, behavioural dimensions of offending, and their implications for governance, institutional resilience, and sustainable development. In doing so, the journal aligns itself with global anti-corruption frameworks, including the United Nations Convention against Corruption, while maintaining sensitivity to local and regional contexts.

Scope
The Indonesian Journal of Corruption and Criminal Justice (IJCCJ) encompasses a strategically curated range of topics within criminal law and corruption studies, examined through cross-disciplinary and integrative perspectives. It includes theoretical advancements and policy analyses in criminal law, investigations of corruption as a systemic governance challenge, and critical examinations of the interplay between legal, economic, and political institutions in shaping corrupt practices. The journal welcomes contributions that explore the application of emerging technologies, such as artificial intelligence, big data, and digital forensics, in the prevention and prosecution of corruption, as well as studies on transnational corruption, money laundering, illicit financial flows, asset recovery, and international legal cooperation. Particular emphasis is placed on corruption within natural resource governance and environmental sectors (green corruption), alongside the social dimensions of corruption, including restorative justice, whistleblower protection, and structural inequality. Furthermore, IJCCJ encourages the development of transdisciplinary frameworks that facilitate collaboration among scholars, policymakers, and practitioners to generate evidence-based, contextually grounded, and sustainable anti-corruption strategies.
