IMPLEMENTATION OF DEATH PENALTY FOR CORRUPTION CASES IN INDONESIA

Abstrak

The most important part of law enforcement that attracts a lot of attention is corruption crimes. Regulations related to corruption were first regulated in Military Ruler Regulation Number PRT/PM/06/1957 until the issuance of Law No. 31 of 1999. In its journey, corruption law enforcement still leaves many questions and concerns among the public, where corruption is increasingly rampant, massive and has entered the private sector. Of all the sentences handed down by judges in corruption trials throughout Indonesia, not a single defendant has been sentenced to death, even though the actions they committed have clearly harmed the State and the people. Starting from this anxiety, this research was conducted to answer the main issues related to the death penalty in corruption cases in Indonesia from a law and order perspective. A normative approach with a conceptual approach is used to produce solution answers so that judges do not need to hesitate in handing down death sentences in corruption trials.
