This article talks about the principles of the social science of Criminology, and psychology. One of the main focuses of this article is that it talks about studying and analyzing the laws of Indonesia in order to provide a sense of cyber security to the citizens of Indonesia. In order to find flaws in Indonesian laws they decided to compare those laws to Islamic criminal laws. In simpler terms the research question could be identified as a study that aims better to assess the Islamic principles and regulations against cyber crimes, mainly focusing on the Indonesian context. The study used comparative, normative judicial research methodology, and qualitative research. The study used many types of data and analysis including perspective analyses, data collection, library research, secondary data, papers, magazines, circulars, legal materials, encyclopedias, library research, government policies, statutory research, relevant and automated rules to the research topic, etc. From what I have learned from class on how Cybercrimes are not distributed equally across the U.S. The study focuses on how Indonesian and Islamic laws are different. Essentially, the text demonstrates how Islamic criminal rules differ greatly from Indonesian legal action. Indonesian cyber-crime laws, for example, encompass a few offenses such as humiliation and deception. At the same time, Islamic laws cover terrorism, liquor theft ( it does allow for stealing ), adultery, and child abuse.
