<![CDATA[This study aims to analyze the factors contributing to the crime of receiving stolen goods, examine the forms of legal protection afforded to victims in Court Judgment Number 1543/Pid.B/2025/PN Mdn, and compare the regulation of this offense under the former Indonesian Criminal Code and Law Number 1 of 2023 concerning the new Criminal Code. The research employs a normative juridical method using a descriptive-analytical approach through library research on statutory regulations and judicial decisions. The findings indicate that the crime of receiving stolen goods is primarily driven by the offender's economic motives and the lack of due diligence in accepting property originating from criminal acts, resulting in material losses for victims. The panel of judges applied Article 480 of the former Criminal Code; however, legal protection for victims remains predominantly focused on punishing the offender rather than restoring the victims' rights. Compared with the former Criminal Code, the new Criminal Code retains the fundamental provisions governing the offense while introducing compensation as an additional criminal sanction, thereby strengthening victim recovery. The study concludes that legal protection for victims of the crime of receiving stolen goods should be enhanced through the optimization of the role of the Witness and Victim Protection Agency (LPSK), clearer recognition of victims' rights to compensation, and stronger coordination among law enforcement agencies.]]>
