| dc.description.abstract | Narcotics abuse cases are one of the special concerns in Indonesia because
they involve various groups, one of which is the police. Every member of the police
force is a law enforcement officer. Law enforcement officers should carry out their
obligations to enforce the law, not violate the law. Thus, the weighting of criminal
sanctions against police officers as perpetrators of criminal acts of narcotics abuse is
interesting and important to study.
This study aims to determine, analyze and explain law enforcement against
narcotics abusers carried out by police officers in Indonesia, the urgency of imposing
criminal sanctions on police officers as perpetrators of narcotics abuse in the
criminal justice system in Indonesia, judges' considerations on the weighting of
criminal sanctions against police officers as perpetrators of narcotics abuse in the
Sidikalang District Court Decision Number 79/Pid.Sus/2020/PN Sdk
The research method of this research is normative legal research with a
statutory approach. This research was conducted by means of a literature study to
obtain primary, secondary and tertiary legal materials. Furthermore, the legal
materials collected in this study will be analyzed qualitatively by drawing deductive
conclusions.
The conclusions obtained in this study include, law enforcement against
police officers as narcotics abusers can be done through the criminal justice system
and enforcement of police discipline and code of ethics. The urgency of heavy
criminal sanctions against police officers who abuse narcotics is a narcotics
emergency that is carried by the Indonesian state and members of the police are law
enforcement officers who have a function to prevent and eradicate narcotics. The
decision of the Sidikalang District Court Number 79/Pid.Sus/2020/PN SDK proves
the non-optimal law enforcement against police officers as narcotics abusers can be
seen from the indictment of the Public Prosecutor who does not include Article 52 of
the Criminal Code in each of his indictment articles and the Panel of Judges imposes
light sanctions on the perpetrators without considering the state of the narcotics
emergency status.
There are several suggestions that can be given, among others, to members
of the police throughout the territory of the Republic of Indonesia to enforce the law
by upholding and instilling a law-abiding attitude to protect themselves, protect their
families and protect the police institutions. In the future, it is necessary to reform the
Narcotics Law which specifically regulates materially criminal sanctions
accompanied by weighting for law enforcement officers who commit narcotics
crimes. In law enforcement in criminal acts of narcotics abuse committed by police
officers so that the Public Prosecutor also indicts Article 52 of the Criminal Code,
considering that the police officers violated their obligations in their positions. | en_US |
