Abstract

In law enforcement, victims and witnesses often do not receive adequate protection from the state, whether in terms of physical safety, financial support, or assistance during the legal process. Meanwhile, offenders often receive special treatment to ensure smooth legal proceedings. This study addresses two main questions: whether legal protection for witnesses in murder cases within the Bengkulu Police jurisdiction complies with Law No. 31 of 2014, and what challenges are faced in its implementation. Using a socio-legal approach, the study finds that witness protection is generally in line with the law, including the ability to testify without pressure, access to case information, transportation cost reimbursement, and legal assistance. However, obstacles remain, such as fear among witnesses and lack of knowledge about their legal rights. Therefore, stronger protection and better legal education for witnesses are needed to support a fair and effective justice process.
