Corporate Liability

Considerable efforts have been made to fight corruption, however it continues to occur in Indonesia. In the present time, corruptions do not only carry out by individuals but also by corporations. However, the Criminal Code and Criminal Procedure Code do not recognize and regulate corporations as the subject of criminal acts, so that law enforcement officials, especially prosecutors, have difficulty in charging corporations. This paper tries to answer question about the role of prosecutors in the eradication of corruption by corporation based on The General Attorney Regulation Number: PER-028/A/JA/10/2014 on guidelines for prosecuting corporation. The research method employed is normative juridical method, where the data is analyzed with qualitative methodology. The General Attorney Regulation on Corporate Legal Subjects explains more apparent criteria for actions that can be attributed to the corporation. The regulation combines several theories of corporate criminal liability not only heavily rely on vicarious criminal liability theory. It also provides direction about the separation of corporate liability and director’s liability. With this guideline, the public prosecutors have clearer direction to be able to charge the corporation so that it can restore the state finances that have been harmed by the corruption act.

Oriented Approach

The Criminal Code (KUHP) which currently applies does not recognize corporations as the subject of criminal acts. Therefore, the formulation/legislation policy concerning corporate criminal liability system in Indonesia is only regulated in various specific criminal laws (lex specialis). This research discusses the formulation/legislation policy regarding the corporate criminal liability system in 124 special criminal legislations outside the Criminal Code (KUHP) from 1950-2017. This research used a normative juridical research method as well as interpretation method with a policy-oriented approach. Types and sources of data used were secondary data in the form of primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials. The collected data were then analyzed based on qualitative analysis method. The results of the research showed that the corporate criminal liability system in legal politics in Indonesia (especially in the formulation/legislation policy) still experiences disorientation and disharmonious. Besides, the national law development should follow every development and/or change of society that is developing in the direction of modernization and globalization and should be able to accommodate all society�s needs in various fields. This legal development should be continuously carried out (as a dynamic and an endless process) by "improving (making things better)" and "changing the law to be better and modern".Kitab Undang-Undang Hukum Pidana (KUHP) yang saat ini berlaku tidak mengakui korporasi sebagai subjek tindak pidana.Oleh karenanya, kebijakan formulasi/legislasi mengenai sistem pertanggungjawaban pidana korporasi di Indonesia hanya diatur dalam berbagai peraturan perundang-undangan pidana yang bersifat khusus (lex specialis). Penelitian ini akan membahas mengenai kebijakan formulasi/legislasi mengenai sistem pertanggungjawaban pidana korporasi dalam 124 (seratus dua puluh empat) peraturan perundang-undangan pidana khusus di luar Kitab Undang-Undang Hukum Pidana (KUHP) dari tahun 1950-2017. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian yuridis normatif dan metode interpretasi dengan pendekatan yang berorientasi pada kebijakan (policy oriented approach). Jenis dan sumber data yang dipergunakan adalah data sekunder yang berupa bahan hukum primer, bahan hukum sekunder dan bahan hukum tertier. Data yang telah terkumpul akan dianalisis berdasarkan metode analisis secara kualitatif. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa sistem pertanggungjawaban pidana korporasi dalam politik hukum di Indonesia (khususnya pada kebijakan formulasi/legislasi) masih mengalami disorientasi dan disharmoni. Selain itu, pembangunan hukum nasional harus mengikuti setiap perkembangan dan/atau perubahan masyarakat yang sedang berkembang ke arah modernisasi dan globalisasi serta mampu menampung semua kebutuhan masyarakat di berbagai bidang. Pembangunan hukum seperti ini harus terus-menerus dilakukan (sebagai proses yang dinamis dan proses yang tidak pernah berakhir) dengan cara �menyempurnakan (membuat sesuatu yang lebih baik)� dan �mengubah agar hukum menjadi lebih baik dan modern�.

В представленной научной работе анализируются проблемы квалификации субъективных признаков статьи 2631 УК РФ. Установлено, что данная норма была изменена в части субъекта преступления, а именно – была введена уголовная ответственность за несоблюдение требований в области транспортной безопасности пассажирами и иными лицами, т.е. лицами, обладающими признаками общего субъекта преступления. В качестве квалифицированных признаков анализируемой нормы была введена уголовная ответственность за групповое совершение данного преступления при наличии неосторожной формы вины, а именно – группа лиц по предварительному сговору и организованная преступная группа. Мы считаем, что введение соучастия в такого рода преступлениях представляет серьёзную проблему для последующего применения статьи 2631 УК РФ на практике, поскольку квалифицировать в случае нарушений указанных в рассматриваемой нами норме специальных правил по указанным в частях третьей и четвёртой признакам будет практически невозможно. Нам видится, что основная проблема ответственности соучастников за нарушение требований в области транспортной безопасности со-стоит в необходимости установления двух важных моментов: 1) ограничение круга специальных субъектов анализируемого состава преступления и его отражение на ответственность других соучастников; 2) оценка уголовно-правовой характеристики роли субъекта и других соучастников преступления. Сделан вывод о том, что соучастие по исследуемой нами норме возможно лишь в тех случаях, когда исполнителем данного преступления является специальный субъект. Остальные лица подлежат уголовной ответственности как организатор, подстрекатель или пособ-ник. Полагаем, что следует исключить данные квалифицированные признаки из исследуемого нами состава и говорить о неосторожном сопричинении, а не о со-участии. Ключевые слова: квалификация, нарушение требований, неосторожное со-причинение, неосторожная форма вины, соучастие, субъективная сторона преступления, субъект преступления, транспортная безопасность, транспортная инфраструктура. The present research work analyzes the problems of qualifying the subjective characteristics of Article 2631 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. It was established that this provision was changed in terms of the subject of the crime, namely, criminal liability was introduced for non-compliance with the requirements in the field of transport safety by passengers and other persons, i.e. persons possessing the characteristics of a common subject of a crime. As qualified features of the analyzed norm, criminal liability was introduced for the group commission of this crime in the presence of a careless form of guilt, namely, a group of persons by prior conspiracy and an organized criminal group. We believe that introduction of complicity in this type of crime is a serious problem for the subsequent application of Article 2631 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation in practice, since it will be practically impossible to qualify in case of violations of the rules specified in the norm under consideration by the signs indicated in parts three and four. We see that the main problem of responsibility of accomplices for violation of requirements in the field of transport security is the need to establish two important points: 1) limiting the range of special subjects of the analyzed corpus delicti and its reflection on the responsibility of other accomplices; 2) assessment of the criminal law characteristics of the role of the subject and other accomplices in the crime. It is concluded that complicity according to the norm we are investigating is possible only in cases where the perpetrator of this crime is a special subject. The rest of the persons are subject to criminal liability as organizer, instigator or accomplice. We believe that it is necessary to exclude these qualified signs from the composition we are studying and talk about careless complicity, and not about complicity. Keywords: qualification, violation of requirements, careless submission, careless form of guilt, complicity, the subjective side of the crime, the subject of the crime, transport security, transport infrastructure.

<em>Criminal liability against corporations in Indonesia is still ambiguous, because the Criminal Code cannot capture corporations as legal subjects who can be convicted, because it still adheres to the principle of the subject of law is only natural man. Some laws and regulations outside the Criminal Code have begun to deviate from the general principle, by trying to put corporations as the subject of criminal law and the problem of criminal liability. In the ius constituendum perspective the subject of corporate crime and criminal liability has been formulated explicitly and in detail in the draft draft Criminal Code 2006, Article 44 to Article 50. Thus in principle the corporation has been accepted as a legal subject in criminal law, so that the corporation can be prosecuted and sentenced criminal. The acceptance of the principle which deviates from the principle of error is not contrary to the philosophy of the Pancasila. In other words, the deviation of the principle of error has juridical, sociological, and philosophical relevance.</em>

Corporate Criminal Liability

In Indonesia, the development of the corporation as the subject to criminal acts takes place outside the Criminal Code, regulated in special legislation. While the Criminal Code itself still adheres to the subject of criminal acts in the form of people, the corporation (juridical person) appears as a subject that can commit a crime and should also be accountable in criminal law. However, this condition has not been realized concretely in our Criminal Code. The formulation policy regarding corporate criminal liability for victims of corporate crime that exists or is currently in force has not been able to realize the corporate criminal liability. Although there are sanctions that can be imposed on corporations, most of these provisions only protect potential victims and are not responsible for actual or real victims. In other words, the current formulation policy has not been able to ensnare and impose criminal sanctions on corporations who commit crimes, especially criminal sanctions which are oriented to the fulfillment or restoration of victims' rights in the form of compensation payments after the crime. This paper will discuss the position and the responsibility of the corporation as a subject of criminal law in Indonesia and analyze policy formulation of the Criminal Code and the draft of the Criminal Code that related to corporate responsibility as a legal subject. Keywords: Corporate Criminal Responsibilities, Criminal Law, Corporate Responsibility.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to analyse the 2016 elections for Police and Crime Commissioners (PCCs) and to compare them with those that took place in 2012. It seeks to evaluate the background of the candidates who stood for office in 2016, the policies that they put forward, the results of the contests and the implications of the 2016 experience for future PCC elections. Design/methodology/approach This paper is based around several key themes – the profile of candidates who stood for election, preparations conducted prior to the contests taking place, the election campaign and issues raised during the contests, the results and the profile of elected candidates. The paper is based upon documentary research, making particular use of primary source material. Findings The research establishes that affiliation to a political party became the main route for successful candidates in 2016 and that local issues related to low-level criminality will dominate the future policing agenda. It establishes that although turnout was higher than in 2012, it remains low and that further consideration needs to be devoted to initiatives to address this for future PCC election contests. Research limitations/implications The research focusses on the 2016 elections and identifies a number of key issues that emerged during the campaign affecting the conduct of the contests which have a bearing on future PCC elections. It treats these elections as a bespoke topic and does not seek to place them within the broader context of the development of the office of PCC. Practical implications The research suggests that in order to boost voter participation in future PCC election contests, PCCs need to consider further means to advertise the importance of the role they perform and that the government should play a larger financial role in funding publicity for these elections and consider changing the method of election. Social implications The rationale for introducing PCCs was to empower the public in each police force area. However, issues that include the enhanced importance of political affiliation as a criteria for election in 2016 and the social unrepresentative nature of those who stood for election and those who secured election to this office in these contests coupled with shortcomings related to public awareness of both the role of PCCs and the timing of election contests threaten to undermine this objective. Originality/value The extensive use of primary source material ensures that the subject matter is original and its interpretation is informed by an academic perspective.

Legal Understanding

The article discusses the urgent, not regulated by the criminal law, problem of qualifying the actions of the person who committed the crime as a result of the provocative actions of law enforcement officials. Attention is drawn to the absence in theory and judicial practice of a consistent scientific and legal justification for the release of persons provoked to a crime from criminal liability. An “encroachment” committed as a result of a “police provocation” is considered taking into account the institutions of complicity, involvement and inducement to commit a crime. The author examines the proposals already made by experts from fixing the provocation of a crime as one of the circumstances excluding criminal liability (Chapter 8 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation), to including its arsenal of operationalsearch means to combat crime. According to the constitutional legal understanding of the investigated problem, the assessment of the act of the provoked is influenced by the activities of the persons who incited him to commit a crime, the essence of the disturbed social relations and the nature of the physical, property, organizational or other consequences that have occurred. The question of the criminal legal assessment of the acts of the provoked persons is proposed to be decided differentially, taking into account the reality and the measure of the harm caused by them.

The regulation of corporate criminal liability in Indonesia's criminal justice system is basically a new and still debatable issue. It is said that because in the Criminal Code is not recognized and regulated explicitly about the corporation as a subject of criminal law. This is a natural thing since the WvS Criminal Code still adheres to the principle of "societas delinquere non potest" or "non-potest university delinquere", that is, a legal entity can not commit a crime. Thus, if in a society there is a criminal offense, then the criminal act is deemed to be done by the board of the corporation concerned. Regarding the corporate criminal responsibility system in Indonesia, in the corruption law Article 20 paragraph (1), if the corporation committed a criminal act of corruption, then those responsible for the criminal act shall be the corporation only, the management only, or the corporation and its management. Thus, it can be said that the regulation of corporate criminal liability in the legal system in Indonesia is expressly only regulated in special criminal legislation, because the Criminal Code of WvS still adheres to the principle of "societas delinquere nonpotest" so it is not possible to enforce corporate criminal liability in it.

Purpose – This paper aims to assess the effectiveness of the Bribery Act 2010 in curbing corporate bribery. Design/methodology/approach – The paper takes a doctrinal focus in assessing UK bribery law using both primary and secondary sources. Findings – This paper finds that the effectiveness of the Bribery Act 2010 in curbing bribery lies in its approach of changing the basis for corporate criminal liability from focusing on the guilt of personnel within the company to focusing on the quality of the system governing the activities of the company. Companies have to address the risks of bribery or risk facing liability for failure to prevent bribery. With its regulatory approach to corporate liability, coupled with its extraterritorial reach, the Bribery Act is likely to change business cultures that facilitate bribery, thereby proving an effective law to corporate bribes. Originality/value – This paper highlights the deficiency of earlier laws in tackling corporate bribery, examines the crime of bribery from a company law perspective and argues that the regulatory strategy in the Bribery Act is likely to be an effective tool against bribery.

Over The Top

The following article aims to analyze the first German draft bill concerning a corporate criminal code. The draft bill, recently introduced by the federal state of Nordrhein-Westfalen, led to a transformation of a theoretical academic discussion towards a specific proposal on potential future legislation. Firstly, the article introduces underlying reasons for the draft based on deficiencies of the current legislation. Current regulations solely provide corporate administrative responsibility for criminal offenses committed by a corporation's management (involving huge fines). Subsequently, the article reviews the content of the draft, specifically the multiplicity of proposed criminal and other penalties. The authors intend to demonstrate that the draft is often too vague or—especially with regard to penalties—simply over the top. The applicable sanctions – which may be combined- would lead to a more draconic punishment than in any other comparable legal system. Furthermore, regarding the principles of due process and strict legality the proposed procedural rules of the draft are not satisfying. After all, the proposed procedural measures to safeguard the proceedings and the rules on representation and defense counsel are deficient.
