Made Wira Suhendra’s Preliminary Examination

[KALIURANG]; The Doctoral Study Program in Law, Faculty of Law, Universitas Islam Indonesia held a preliminary examination on Saturday, December 16, 2023, at 13:00 WIB, during which the examinee presented the dissertation proposal, “Reformulation of Policies for Handling Klitih Street Crime in the Special Region of Yogyakarta.”

In his proposal, Made Wira stated that klitih is one of the crime phenomena that is of concern in Jogja, which, in several incidents, has resulted in fatalities. However, until now, there has been no KUHP that specifically defines the term klitih itself. So, it is necessary to search for the true meaning of klitih in order to create policies to deal with the klitih problem, which is increasingly growing in Yogyakarta.

Made Wira’s research will attempt to determine whether klitih is merely uncontrollable child mischief or an organized crime that is causing worries in society. The type of research proposed is empirical (non-doctrinal) legal research with a qualitative descriptive analysis method.

Prof. Dr. M. Syamsudin, the head of the doctoral study program in law, presided over the examination along with promoter Prof. Dr. Rusli Muhammad, S.H., M.H., co-promoter Dr. Aroma Elmina Martha, S.H., M.H., and examiner Prof. Dr. Hartiwiningsih, S.H., M.Hum., Prof. Dr. Marcus Priyo Gunarto, S.H., M.Hum., Prof. Hanafi Amrani, S.H., M.H., LL.M., Ph.D., and Dr. M. Arif Setiawan, S.H., M.Hum.
