Design of Pre-Trial Institution with the Concept of Preliminary Examining Judge in the Reform of Indonesian Criminal Procedure Law

Abstract

Pretrial which has been regulated in the Indonesian Criminal Procedure Code has drawn much criticism from legal practitioners. In practice, it turns out that Pretrial does not provide a sense of justice for those seeking justice, especially suspects in the criminal justice process. The Indonesian government has prepared a Draft Revision of the Indonesian Criminal Procedure Code, one of the contents of which is replacing Pretrial with a Preliminary Examining Judge. The social problems that occur are how to design the Pretrial institution with the concept of a preliminary examining judge in the renewal of Indonesian criminal procedure law. This scientific writing uses the Sociological Legal Research method (socio legal research).
