Abstract

Law enforcement against crew members who are victims of exploitation and modern slavery still faces various systemic obstacles in Indonesia. Through Lawrence M. Friedman’s Legal System Theory approach, this paper analyses how legal structure, legal substance and legal culture play a role in the success or failure of the protection of crew members. The research method used is a normative and conceptual juridical approach, by examining national regulations, institutional practices and social legal conditions in the field. The results of the study show that the weakness of institutional coordination (structure), overlapping and vacant norms (substance), and low awareness and empathy of officials (legal culture). Therefore, a holistic legal reform is needed, including the establishment of special regulations, institutional strengthening across sectors, and changes in legal culture that favour victims.
