Pembelajaran Sosial dalam Pelaksanaan Hukuman Cambuk

Abstract

Caning is a corporal punishment imposed on violators of Islamic Law in Aceh. Caning is determined based on the Quran and Hadith under the auspices of the Law to provide a deterrent effect for suspects and social learning for the whole community. The purpose of this study to describe social learning in the implementation of caning is viewed from the background of the preparation of the Qanun Jinayat and the implementation process. Data collection is done by the interview technique involving four respondents, namely two people who compiled the Qanun Jinayat and two other key informants from relevant agencies directly involved in the execution of caning. Respondents were selected using a purposive sampling technique. The results have shown that the social learning in the implementation of caning is interpreted by a decrease in the number of violations of Islamic Law in Aceh. Social learning in question is that people who watch caning will not commit the same offence, and the suspect who has been sentenced will not repeat the offence because of shame.
