CONSTRUCTION OF INDONESIAN CRIMINAL LAW POLICY ON THE CRIME OF MONEY POLITICS IN GENERAL ELECTION
Main Article Content
Abstract
Money politics in general elections is one of the things that harm democracy by creating injustice. The rise of money politics is partly due to regulatory loopholes that cannot reach the perpetrators of money politics. This article aims to provide insight into the construction of Indonesia's current criminal law policy governing money politics and its effectiveness in combating electoral corruption. This research uses the empirical normative juridical method by referring to secondary data from legislation and scientific literature. The results conclude that the construction of criminal law policy on money politics is in-laws, including the Criminal Code and Law No. 7/2017 on General Elections. However, these laws are not effective in overcoming the crime of money politics. Comprehensive improvements are needed to overcome money politics in general elections, such as clear and firm regulations with strict legal sanctions, a legal apparatus with integrity, and political education for the community to prevent the practice of money politics. Thus, it is expected to reduce and overcome money politics and maintain the integrity of democracy in general elections.
