Abstract
This study aims to analyze the character of the sanctions system against corporations that commit consumer protection crimes. This paper is novel because it seeks to contribute to the current debate in the literature about sanctioned individuals and corporations by comparing the sanction and fines in few countries. Criminal sanctions in force in a country are very dependent on the state's reaction to the deviant activities of the corporations in the society concerned. The state's response was manifested in the sanction system policy towards corporations that commit criminal acts. A sanction system is still conventional, while a sanction system is responsive to the corporate phenomenon. Does this research discuss the sanction system's character against corporations that commit criminal acts of consumer protection? What are the problems of the system of sanctions against corporations that commit these consumer protection crimes? This research was conducted with a normative and comparative approach to comparing the sanctions against corporations that commit criminal acts of consumer protection between the Indonesian Consumer Protection Act and the Consumer Protection Act in several countries, namely Malaysia, the Philippines, Canada, and Finland. This study indicated differences in the character of the criminal sanction system between the Consumer Protection Act of Malaysia, the Philippines, Canada, Finland, and Indonesia against corporations that commit criminal acts in consumer protection. Another characteristic found is a single formulation, namely the threat of criminal fines except for the Indonesian Consumer Protection Act.
