Money laundering crime is a crime that not only threatens the stability of the economy and integrity of the financial system, but it can also divide the institutions of public, national and state life. These crimes have developed asa humanitarian problem of existence with the development of society, so in efforts to execute crimes have been penal and non-penal. Money laundering is one ofthe transnational and organized crimes, so it isnecessary to remedy national efforts of so-called criminal policies. The problem in this journal is how the countercriminal money laundering efforts have been on the criminal policy perspective and how the non-penal effort has been on the development of the moneylaundering crime. The study is done using a normative-and- value juridical approach and as for the analysis techniques used, it is qualitative analysis. From the research results, it is known that the Government has issued Law no. 8 of2010 concerning the Prevention and Eradication of Money Laundering Money, but there are still weaknesses in the legislative policy so that it will greatly affect its implementation and execution. In Law no. 8 of 2010 concerning the Prevention and Eradication of Money Laundering Money, the existence of PPATK has formulated better than the previous Law on Money Laundering Eradication. However, the role of PPATK in tackling money laundering offenses is still not optimal, so Indonesia still needs to be improved.
