Structural legal improvements that need to be arranged, according to Syarif, through legal approaches, regulations, and institutional arrangements. This must be shown with definite consistency.

The consistency can be shown with a definite performance in law enforcement. The goal is to restore the rights of victims as well as for the wider community," said Syarif.

"That's a cultural approach, don't let there be communication congestion. The deadlock in communication causes them to find their own way. So the culture must also be improved," he explained.
