Penegakan Hukum Dalam Negara Hukum Indonesia yang Demokratis

Abstract

The State of Indonesia is a state of law, meaning that all citizens and administrators must comply with the applicable laws. Nevertheless, the rule of law is often violated, even by law enforcement officers and lawmakers themselves. Law enforcement in Indonesia is still sharp downwards but blunt upwards. For this reason, it is necessary to improve law enforcement. Improvement in law enforcement can be made by improving the legal system, which includes legal substance, legal structure, and legal culture. In addition, with the concept of a democratic rule of law, law enforcement is not only fixed on the written rule of law. If the written rule of law does not provide justice, then the written rule of law can deviate. Law enforcement is also supported by the emergence of progressive legal theory and integrative legal theory.
