Reformulation of Indonesian Criminal Justice System Based on Principles of Humanity, Justice, and Morality

Abstract

. Principles in the legal system consist of norms, institutions, and processes. Norms include the rule of law, both primary regulations (which directly define the behavior) and secondary regulations (which govern the application of primary regulations and the functioning of institutions and system processes, including the process of extending or modifying regulations). Legal institutions include facilities for the operation of processes and the application of norms. The status and relations identified and controlled by norms, the relationships on which norms operate are dilemmas in Indonesian law enforcement. Besides, a reformulation in the Indonesian criminal justice system is needed to enforce laws based on the principles of humanity, justice, and morality. Reformulation of the Indonesian criminal justice system based on the principles of humanity, justice, and morality is very much needed in law enforcement. As a result, it really becomes a means of development and renewal of law enforcement agencies as expected and they can enforce the law as implied in the whole content of Pancasila.
