MENELAAH EFEKTIVITAS SISTEM HUKUM DALAM PEMBERANTASAN KORUPSI DI INDONESIA

Abstract

Corruption is a deliberate and conscious act of violating the rule of law, often by misusing government funds for personal gain. This practice has been widespread since the Dutch colonial era, when regional officials who received money from the colonial government to pay workers instead used the money for personal gain. Although corruption in Indonesia has improved compared to the New Order era, statistics show that the country's corruption rate remains in the thirties and has even declined, especially since the recent pandemic. Corruption cases in Indonesia are largely related to several domestic factors, such as greed, wasteful spending, and a lack of education and noble values. Furthermore, there are external factors that encompass social, political, legal, economic, and organizational aspects. After examining these factors, the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK), as an anti-corruption agency, formulated three main methods of eradicating corruption, known as the "Three Tridents": law enforcement, prevention, and education. Ultimately, cooperation from various parties is needed to create a comprehensive method of eradicating corruption. The study method employed in this research is a descriptive perspective, using journals, articles, news and books related to this topic.
