Abstract

The study aims to determine the formulation of legal norms on justice collaborator and whistleblower in corruption and their implementation. ]Criminal law provides an opportunity for criminal offenders to become justice collaborators and want to cooperate with law enforcement, where the form of appreciation is that they can be considered for protection and relief from punishment. The term justice collaborator is often confused with whistleblowers. the norms regarding whistleblowers and justice collaborators are already regulated in a joint regulation, SEMA and Law No. 31/2014, in its implementation there are still weaknesses caused by different interpretations of existing regulations by law enforcement. This research uses normative legal research with a statute approach.. The results of this study reveal that the existing regulations still have weaknesses in regulating justice collaborators and whistleblowers. Justice collaborator and whistleblower play an important role in providing information to uncover a corruption. the important role of justice collaborator and whistleblower creates threats, so it needs to be given protection from law enforcers and given respect, such as reducing penalties for justice collaborators.
