Errors in arrest procedures may cause harm to individuals who are not proven to have committed a criminal offense. This study aims to examine the regulation of accountability standards for victims of wrongful arrest and the forms of legal protection provided under the KUHAP. This research uses a normative legal method with statutory and conceptual approaches. Legal materials were analyzed qualitatively to examine the relationship between errors in law enforcement and the obligation to provide remedies for victims. The results show that KUHAP provides legal protection through pretrial proceedings, compensation, and rehabilitation. However, the existing provisions do not clearly regulate the standards of accountability, the party responsible for providing remedies, or the scope of recovery required for victims. Legal protection also does not fully address the social, economic, and psychological impacts of wrongful arrest. Therefore, clearer accountability standards and broader recovery mechanisms are needed to strengthen legal protection and provide legal certainty for victims.
