Reformulation of Certain Circumstances Indicators as a Prerequisite for the Imposition of Death Penalty in Corruption Crime

Abstract

The massive practice of corruption is a serious threat to the welfare of a country, so the Indonesian government, through its regulations, stipulates corruption as one of the extraordinary crimes. Regulating the death penalty for perpetrators of corruption demonstrates how serious it is to eradicate corruption. The legislation on corruption governs the application of the death penalty and only applies to corruptors whose acts occur under specific conditions. This research analyzes the indicators of certain circumstances as a prerequisite for the imposition of the death penalty in the crime of corruption. The main approaches used in this research are the conceptual approach and the legislative approach. The results of this study indicate that the legal system has flaws, necessitating the juridical reformulation concerning certain circumstances indicators as a prerequisite before the death penalty can be imposed on corruption crimes.
