UPAYA PENEGAKAN HUKUM TERHADAP KEJAHATAN EKONOMI DALAM SISTEM PERADILAN PIDANA

Abstract

This study examines law enforcement efforts against economic crimes within the Indonesian criminal justice system. Economic crimes pose a serious threat to national economic stability due to their broad impact on state finances and public trust in the law. Using a normative and empirical juridical approach, this study examines various obstacles to law enforcement, such as weak regulations, minimal coordination between law enforcement agencies, officers' limited understanding of the modern financial system, and political influence on the legal process. The results indicate that law enforcement against economic crimes remains ineffective, characterized by slow investigations, lenient sentences, and a weak system for tracking and recovering criminal assets. These factors are exacerbated by political interference and the weak integrity of law enforcement officials. To address these issues, comprehensive legal reform, increased transparency in the judicial process, strengthened coordination between legal institutions, and increased public legal awareness are needed. Firm, fair, and consistent law enforcement is key to creating a clean, transparent, and just national economic system
