Abstract

In various countries, the application of Justice Collaborators varies, the application of Justice Collaborators was first recognized in Italy, at that time a member of the Italian mafia Joseph Valachi was tested for crimes committed by his group, then followed by America and Australia legally protection. Meanwhile, in Indonesia, arrangements regarding new Justice Collaborators are regulated in joint regulations with law enforcement officials as well as a circular letter from the Supreme Court. In giving testimony, in general, Justice Collaborators were motivated by a reduced term of detention or from their heart the intention to repent. However, in testimony, sometimes a Justice Collaborator is harassed or hindered by a fellow member who commits a crime, and this is what every country in the world needs to regulate so that the dismantling of a crime case can run optimally. In responding to Corruption cases, countries in the world have responded with various regulations so that they can create a deterrent effect for the perpetrators of these crimes, regarding the Justice Collaborator rules they have included in their country's laws. However, in Indonesia, the rules regarding witnesses, perpetrators and reporters are only regulated in the Supreme Court Circular Number 04 of 2011 and regulations with law enforcement officials and the Witness and Victim Protection Agency (LPSK). It is fitting that the rules regarding the protection of reporting witnesses and collaborating witness witnesses be included in the laws of our country, so that the courageous mentality of the witnesses can continue.
