<![CDATA[Sentencing disparity has long been a legal issue in Indonesia. Different sentences given by judges for similar cases have led to social jealousy. Therefore, this research will examine the elements that cause the disparity of punishment against the perpetrators of the crime of murder in violation of Article 339 of the Criminal Code (KUHP). This research is a normative legal research conducted by analysing secondary sources or legal and primary materials. This research uses literature study and collects the necessary data. To examine the data obtained, this research uses a qualitative method with a systematic process of data processing and interpretation.
