Legal Analysis of Conventional and Transnational Crime Typology in the NTT–Malaysia TPPO Case Year 2024

Abstract

This study explores various traditional and cross-border crimes, focusing on Indonesia and Malaysia's legal cooperation to combat human trafficking in 2024. Using a legal approach based on laws and regulations, the research reveals both countries have employed tools like Mutual Legal Assistance, ACTIP, and treaties to collaborate. However, challenges persist including differences in legal systems, slow government processes, and limited resources. The study recommends improving legal harmonization and leveraging technology to enhance coordination, thereby strengthening crime handling and victim protection efforts.
