Pengaturan Hukum Penyelidikan dan Penyidikan Tindak Pidana Pencurian Dengan Pemberatan Dalam Rangka Mewujudkan Kepastian Hukum
Abstract
The investigation and criminal inquiry process for aggravated theft constitutes a fundamental stage in criminal law enforcement, as it provides the evidentiary basis for judicial proceedings. Although regulated under the Indonesian Criminal Procedure Code, Law Number 2 of 2002 concerning the Indonesian National Police, and various implementing regulations, the existing legal framework continues to face several weaknesses, including regulatory disharmony, the absence of specific provisions addressing the distinctive characteristics of aggravated theft, and the lack of optimal integration among the components of the criminal justice system. This study aims to analyze the weaknesses of the current legal framework and formulate an ideal legal model governing the investigation and criminal inquiry of aggravated theft offenses. The research employs a normative legal method using statutory, conceptual, and comparative approaches. Legal materials consist of legislation, legal literature, scholarly journals, and other relevant legal documents, which are analyzed using a prescriptive legal approach. The findings indicate that the principal weaknesses lie in the lack of harmonization between substantive criminal law and criminal procedural law, the fragmentation of regulations across various legal instruments, the absence of specific procedural guidelines for aggravated theft investigations, and inadequate coordination within the integrated criminal justice system. An ideal legal framework should therefore emphasize regulatory harmonization, legal certainty, protection of human rights, standardized procedural guidelines, the utilization of information technology, and stronger coordination and supervisory mechanisms among law enforcement institutions. Such reforms are expected to establish investigation and criminal inquiry processes that are professional, accountable, effective, and consistent with the principles of justice and the rule of law.
