Abstract

This study examines the comparison of the effectiveness of law enforcement against the crime of rape between the current Criminal Code and the new Criminal Code Bill. This analysis focuses on the existing legal framework and the potential changes offered by the Criminal Code Bill, evaluating its implications for victim protection and the imposition of criminal sanctions for perpetrators of the crime of rape. The approach used in this study is a comparison of applicable laws with provisions in the draft law and a comparison with regulations in several foreign countries. This research aims to identify legal loopholes and challenges in the enforcement of rape laws based on the existing Criminal Code, as well as analyze the extent to which the Criminal Code Bill can overcome these weaknesses through more progressive norms. This research also analyzes the philosophical dynamics behind the formulation of the two legal frameworks, including considerations of the principle of legality and its shift towards a dualistic approach in punishment. This research is expected to provide concrete recommendations for improving law enforcement regulations and practices to improve the effectiveness of handling rape cases in Indonesia. This review will also discuss how the concept of criminal liability, including the vicarious liability aspect, is governed in both legal frameworks, as well as its implications for law enforcement in rape cases involving various legal subjects. The effectiveness of law enforcement in rape cases is crucial given the high crime rate in Indonesia, although data shows a slight decrease in crime rates in general.
