Abstract

Criminology is the science that studies crime. Crime is an act that harms society so that a negative reaction is given to it. One of the crimes that often occurs in society is the crime of motor vehicle theft. It is said to be detrimental because of the crime of theft of a motorized vehicle whose target object is a motorized vehicle that has high mobility and has high economic value. While victimology is the study of victims. It is said as a victim because there are several factors that make people commit these crimes. The problems in this study are the factors that cause the crime of motor vehicle theft and legal protection for the perpetrators of theft who participate in helping the main perpetrators based on a victimological perspective. The results of this research and discussion show that the factors that cause the crime of motor vehicle theft are environmental and economic factors. This was due to an invitation from a friend of the defendant who invited him to commit the theft as well as economic factors due to the high level of poverty which made the defendant not hesitate to take part in the theft of motorized vehicles. As well as legal protection for the perpetrators of theft who participate in helping the main actors based on the perspective of victimology is to get justice as fair as possible because the defendant behaves well and surrenders himself to the authorities.
