Pemberantasan Korupsi di Indonesia Perspektif Legal System Lawrence M. Freidmen

Abstract

Corruption is still a frightening stain of democracy in Indonesia. According to Data on Trends in the Action of Corruption Cases in Semester I of 2021, the Indonesian Corruption Watch (ICW) found that there were 209 corruption cases handled by Law Enforcement Officials (APH) with 482 suspects and the value of state losses incurred was Rp. 26,830 trillion. The prosecution of corruption cases is handled by the Police, the Prosecutor's Office, and the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) as law enforcement officers (APH). The number of corruption cases handled by APH has increased both in terms of the number of cases, suspects, and the value of state losses. In addition to the increase in the quantity of corruption cases, problems occur when APH's performance in the first semester of 2021 according to ICW's assessment only reaches 19 percent and is ranked E or Very Poor. This shows that efforts to eradicate corruption in Indonesia have not been maximized. By using a qualitative descriptive method, this study will discuss the ideal effort to eradicate corruption using the Legal System theory approach by Lawrence M. Friedman. The results of the study show that efforts to eradicate corruption that have become a system must be overcome with an anti-corruption system that refers to the three components of the legal system, namely legal structure, legal substance, and legal culture.
