The determination of policy issuance to stop investigation in the perspective of the renewal of Indonesian criminal law procedure

Abstract

This study aimed to reveal the philosophical basis and the impact of removing judgement for termination of research based on the perspective of Indonesian criminal procedure law renewal, as well as the implication of releasing determination for termination of the investigation in law enforcement efforts. This study used empirical methods by using primary data. Primary data were the observation of the implementation of the policy in releasing a determination for termination of the investigation. The result showed that the philosophical foundation of the need to formulate policy still needed to be revised to realise the law’s general goals. The formulation policy on the authority of the Police Investigator to issue the Provision Letter for Investigation Cancellation is carried out by changing or revising, or adding the power of the Police Investigator in cancelling the investigation. Then, the juridical implication of the issuance of the Provision Letter for Investigation Cancellation (SKP2) by the Police Investigator for the law enforcement effort is that it strengthens the exercise of the duties and responsibilities of the Police Investigator in solving the case and facilitating the attainment of the goals of the law.
