Contemplating the Morality of Law Enforcement in Indonesia

Abstract

Objective: This paper aims to elaborate on the morality of law enforcement in Indonesia today and how to reflect on law enforcement in Indonesia in the future. This paper uses a normative type of writing using a statutory, case, and comparative approach. Method: This paper is then analyzed using the Prescriptive analysis technique. Result: This paper shows that the morality of law enforcement in Indonesia today can be seen from several things: inconsistent law enforcement, corruption among law enforcement officials, law enforcement by violating the law, and selective law enforcement. The reflection of law enforcement in Indonesia in the future based on morality must be based on strengthening several aspects: strengthening integrity and ethics in law enforcement, transparency and accountability in the law enforcement process, revamping the legal system and institutions, and increasing legal awareness. Conclusion: The authors of this research want to learn more about and reflect on the moral dimensions of Indonesia's police force. This research aims to provide light on how morality influences the behavior of law enforcement officials by researching law enforcement methods, ethics, and justice. The study's findings should serve as a springboard for implementing more just rules and procedures in Indonesia's law enforcement.
