Abstract

Corruption poses a substantial challenge for Indonesia, affecting community life, national development, and state functioning. It leads to significant financial losses and economic repercussions for both perpetrators and the nation. To combat this issue, it's essential to harmonize legislation, enhance international cooperation, and develop an integrated approach to law enforcement while encouraging active community participation. Addressing corruption requires improvements in education, training, and the instillation of moral values. This research aims to understand the characteristics of normative legal knowledge and to explore legal regulations and their principles using a normative juridical approach, relying on secondary data analysis. Active prevention of corruption and a proactive role for corruption courts are crucial. Key findings suggest the need for rigorous law enforcement, the abolition of gratuities, increased transparency, and enhanced public ethics. Collaboration among the government, law enforcement, and the community is vital to effectively tackle corruption. Fair law enforcement and legal certainty must be ensured to build a collective conviction among stakeholders. A multifaceted approach is necessary for effective corruption eradication, including system improvements, educational campaigns, and repressive actions. Sustained efforts can minimize corruption's negative impacts, foster public trust, attract investors, and uphold national dignity while deterring corrupt activities. Furthermore, maximizing the recovery of state funds lost to corruption is essential for the nation’s integrity and development.

Abstract

One of the factors that should be considered in the legal protection of the poor is the equal position of citizens before the law. In a just society, there should be no gap between the people and those who have money and positions that afford them the same status as citizens in accordance with the legal system. It is imperative that legal aid be made available to impoverished individuals and communities in a criminal justice system that has yet to achieve comprehensive integration. The objective of this research is to ascertain the role of consultation and legal aid institutions in providing legal assistance and community empowerment for economically disadvantaged individuals. This research employs an empirical juridical approach to examine the activities of the Consultation and Legal Aid in fulfilling its role. The findings indicate that the Institute for Consultation and Legal Aid is obliged to provide assistance to legal aid providers free of charge. However, information regarding the provision of free or low-cost legal aid has not been widely disseminated, resulting in a significant number of defendants or suspects who are dealing with the law and do not receive assistance from legal aid providers. This lack of access to legal aid services leaves individuals without the means to effectively navigate accusations, suspicions, or charges from the state, thereby exacerbating their vulnerability.
