Criminal Law Enforcement of Illegal Traditional Medical Practices Examined from the Perspective of Legal Pluralism Theory

This study discusses the enforcement of criminal law against illegal traditional medicine practices in Indonesia from the perspective of the theory of legal pluralism. Although traditional medicine has become part of the cultural heritage and practices of indigenous peoples, its implementation often clashes with the country's legal system, especially when it does not meet the prescribed health and safety standards. This research aims to analyze the effectiveness of applicable criminal regulations, as well as offer a more responsive and contextual law enforcement model to the diversity of legal systems. With a juridical-normative approach and case studies, this study found that the integration of state law with customary law through normative recognition and continuous coaching can create a just, inclusive, and socially just criminal law enforcement system.
