Intentionally Changing Everything: Deliberate Constructing in Corruption Case

Abstract

The handling of corruption cases lacks consistency in the emphasis on the element of intention or deliberation. While some experts propose the concept of deliberation theoretically, its practical application in the field contradicts these theoretical studies due to the absence of clear indicators of intent. Deliberation, as explored in this research, is analyzed through the lenses of criminal law and psychology. The research employs the Forum Group Discussion (FGD) method, coupled with professional judgment from legal practitioners and academics. The findings reveal a shared perception among law enforcers regarding the deliberate nature of corruption cases. These law enforcers interpret relevant articles using a combination of scientific theory and the theory of Possibility in Certainty. From a psychological perspective, deliberate behavior is conceptualized as a construct that can be measured through the lens of scientific theory. The convergence of these perspectives highlights a unified approach among law enforcers in assessing intentionality in corruption cases.
