Abstract

Crime in Indonesia continues to increase year after year, a situation that is not commensurate with the capacity of law enforcement officers and the effectiveness of judicial institutions, resulting in a backlog of cases and high costs of law enforcement in Indonesia.

This can be both an opportunity and a challenge for all law enforcement officers
