REFORMASI KEBIJAKAN HUKUM PIDANA TERHADAP TINDAK PIDANA KORUPSI DI ERA DIGITAL

Abstract

This article aims to analyze the urgency of criminal law policy reform toward corruption crimes in the digital era and to examine the direction of legal renewal needed in the national legal system. The method used is normative legal research with statutory, conceptual, and library approaches. The results indicate that the development of information technology has transformed corruption patterns from conventional forms into more systematic, concealed, transnational, and electronically facilitated digital corruption. In this context, Indonesian criminal law policy still faces obstacles in the form of disharmony between the Anti-Corruption Law, the Electronic Information and Transactions Law, and Law Number 1 of 2023 concerning the Criminal Code. Criminal law reform is needed through strengthening the criminalization of digital-based corruption, expanding corporate criminal liability, modernizing electronic evidence, and synchronizing law enforcement institutions. In conclusion, criminal law policy reform is an urgent necessity so that corruption eradication can adapt to the challenges of the digital era.
