Abstract

The determination of suspects is a crucial stage that has an impact on human rights and the legitimacy of law enforcement. This study analyzes the procedure for determining suspects based on evidence, identifies challenges, and formulates solutions at the Medan Timur Police Station. The method used is qualitative empirical law. Primary data were obtained from interviews with experienced investigators, while secondary data were obtained from regulations, court decisions, and relevant literature. Normatively, the mechanism for determining suspects refers to the Criminal Procedure Code, Constitutional Court decisions, and Chief of Police regulations, which require the fulfillment of two pieces of evidence and a case title. However, empirically, three main challenges were identified: the limited technical capacity of investigators in handling technological evidence, inadequate infrastructure, and public and media pressure in high-profile cases. The findings indicate that witness testimony remains dominant, while digital evidence is not yet fully optimized. It is concluded that the case title acts as an internal filter, but does not fully counteract external pressure. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen the capacity of investigators, optimize investigation facilities, and increase public legal awareness to ensure the professional, accountable, and fair determination of suspects.

Abstract

This study examines the effectiveness of a policy that increases the prison term for repeat offenders of motor vehicle theft by one-third, with a research focus at the Medan Timur Police Station. The study employs a normative-empirical legal approach, examining the provisions on aggravated punishment in the Criminal Code and Law Number 1 of 2023 concerning the National Criminal Code, in conjunction with empirical data from interviews and case documents from the 2023–2025 period. The results of the study show that, normatively, the policy of adding one-third to the prison term has a clear legal basis. However, in law enforcement practice, this policy has not been implemented optimally and consistently, especially at the investigation stage. Empirical data indicate that the rate of recidivism for motor vehicle theft at the Medan Timur Police Station remains fluctuating and tends to increase in 2025, despite the implementation of provisions for aggravated punishment. This condition indicates a gap between legal norms and their implementation, so that the policy of increasing penalties is more reactive than preventive. This study confirms that the effectiveness of punishment for repeat offenders is not only determined by the severity of criminal sanctions, but also requires integration with non-penal strategies, including systematic data collection on repeat offenders, consistency in law enforcement, and strengthening of rehabilitation and social reintegration programs.
