Abstrak

The teaching profession in Indonesia increasingly faces criminalization risks due to normative and administrative legal gaps that fail to provide comprehensive protection. This research aims to reformulate criminal law policies to ensure security and justice for teachers by aligning national frameworks with international standards. Employing a normative legal approach—incorporating statutory, conceptual, and comparative methods—the study analyzes national regulations against UNESCO and ILO principles. The results indicate an urgent need for policy shifts that harmonize legal frameworks, strengthen professional autonomy, and implement international principles such as balanced sanctions and the best interests of students. Consequently, a responsive criminal law policy is essential to balance teacher protection with student rights within the national education system. This study contributes to legal science by offering an interdisciplinary framework that integrates criminal and educational law, providing a novel prescriptive model for professional protection that transcends traditional administrative boundaries. This reformulation fosters a more equitable educational environment, ensuring educators can perform their strategic roles without the chilling effect of irrelevant legal threats.
