The results of this research explain the emergence of injustice in the regulation of compensation in criminal cases regulated in the Criminal Procedure Code as well as Government Regulations as implementing regulations for victims of wrongful arrest/miscarriage of justice in the current laws and regulations. There is injustice for victims of wrongful arrest/misguided trials in the current regulations. For example, there is a maximum time limit for victims of wrongful arrest/deviant justice to submit a claim for compensation, the nominal amount of compensation is far from justice and does not correspond to the losses experienced by the victim and regulations that are unclear and vague have the potential to be unfair in practice.
