Pretrial on sp3 corruption case in the perspective of victim justice

Abstract

Corruption in Indonesia has spread like a virus since the 1960s that is harming the nation’s economy as well as victims of these crimes. Although the government tried to eradicate such crimes i.e. law enforcement, the issue still exists. The normative legal research method is used in the current study. The statute approach is utilized to review the termination of investigations as the basis for pre-trial submission by third parties for which data was collected by library research. To analyse the data, researchers examined the obtained materials to process it further. Results state that there is still a significant gap between law enforcement officials and people suffering from these corruption cases. The pre-trial complaint mechanism is not effective so far thus leaving ambiguity in victims’ minds. Based on study results, we, therefore, recommend that some serious and clear eradication mechanism should be introduced by law enforcement agencies to reduce corruption in Indonesia as well as victims should be given special consideration in the whole justice process.
