In Law Number 31 of 1999 which was amended by Law Number 20 of 2001 concerning the Eradication of Corruption Crimes, Indonesia regulates the reverse evidence system. The question is, whether the implementation of this system is effective in preventing or even eliminating criminal acts of corruption as a whole in Indonesia. This research uses a legal theoretical framework as a tool for social reform introduced by Roscoe Pound and adapted by Muchtar Kusumaatmadja for the Indonesian context. According to this concept, law must function as a tool to reform and resolve social problems, including corruption crimes. The reverse evidentiary system, which is a specific policy in Indonesian corruption law, deviates from general evidentiary norms in legal procedures.
