This research highlights the gap between stringent regulations and the reality of court decisions, while seeking an ideal law enforcement model for individual and corporate perpetrators of forest burning. The research questions addressed in this thesis are: how are legal sanctions applied to perpetrators of forest-burning crimes within the criminal justice system, and what is the ideal concept for the application of legal sanctions against perpetrators of forest-burning crimes within the criminal justice system in Indonesia? The theories employed in this research are the theory of law enforcement and the theory of punishment. The results of the research indicate that Indonesia's criminal justice system has formulated layered sanctions for perpetrators, both individuals and corporations, in the form of imprisonment and fines. However, in practice, the application of these sanctions still faces a number of obstacles, such as weak coordination among law enforcement agencies, difficulties in proving the element of intent, and law enforcement against intellectual actors or corporations, which is often not yet optimal. Therefore, optimization of progressive and comprehensive law enforcement is required, including the utilization of scientific evidence and firm sanctions to restore environmental losses
