Criminal Law Enforcement Policy Against Convicted Corruption Offenders Continuously At The Denpasar District Court

Abstract

This paper is based on the philosophical principle that the Indonesian state was established to promote the welfare of its people. Therefore, the increasing number of corruption cases in Indonesia, particularly in Bali, which threaten to cause financial losses to the state and damage the national economy, must be eradicated. The urgency of this paper lies in the need to understand the politics of law enforcement against convicted corruption offenders on an ongoing basis. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the politics of applying criminal sanctions against convicted corruption offenders on an ongoing basis and the legal consequences for perpetrators and victims of corruption in the Denpasar District Court. The research method used is a collaboration between the normative juridical method and the empirical juridical method with a quantitative and qualitative approach. Data was collected through in-depth interviews with perpetrators and victims of corruption. Then, an analysis of internal policy documents was conducted, as well as a survey of victims of extortion by convicted criminals. The results of the writing show that although there are regulations governing efforts to eradicate Corruption Crimes, there are still legal loopholes in their application that can be exploited by perpetrators of Corruption Crimes. This writing finds that legal protection education for victims and perpetrators is an important step in improving the political system of law enforcement that needs to be taken to strengthen legal protection.
