This study aimed to explore how society perceives disciplinary law (DL) policies in comparison to traditional criminal law, particularly in terms of criminalization and punishment. To achieve this goal, data was collected through a questionnaire-based survey involving 137 specialized respondents. The survey offers insight into the various aspects of DL, including its clarity, fairness, and effectiveness in deterring administrative violations and promoting discipline. The results indicated that whereas DL seems effective and fair, urgent reforms are necessary, especially in aligning its procedures and sanctions with those of criminal law. Furthermore, the findings highlighted the need for more precise definitions of misconduct and improved procedural fairness to strengthen public trust and enhance the law’s deterrent effect. Statistical tests reveal that respondents’ opinions are not neutral, with a general consensus in agreement with the statements. The study’s findings highlight the pressing need to review and reform the DL structure to confirm fairness, consistency, and impressionability, thereby advancing immediate action.
