Criminal liability is a manifestation of the perpetrator for his or her crime. Article 44 (1) of the Indonesian Criminal Code (KUHP) explains that the insanity defense may release a perpetrator from conviction. For this research, the utilized research method was normative legal research, by which legal regulations are examined and the results neither reject nor accept a hypothesis, but give prescriptions for what should be proposed. The results of this research showed that first, insanity defense can release a criminal offender from conviction. This is because the perpetrator is unable to consciously understand that his or her actions are against the law, and that person cannot be held with criminal liability. Second, the construction of a verdict to declare whether or not a person qualifies for the insanity defense must be made in advance of his or her psychological condition, to decide if it is appropriate for the perpetrator to be convicted.Keywords: Proving; Insanity Defense; Enforcment of Crimina Law.

The research method uses normative legal research. The results of the research study in the discussion section are the reform of the pillars of criminal law, namely criminal acts, criminal liability, and punishment oriented to the basic idea of ??the value of balance. The reform of the pillars of criminal acts is aimed at broadening the meaning of the legality principle which provides space for living law as a source of law and also creates juridical terminology regarding criminal acts. The pillar of criminal responsibility accommodates the principle of no crime without error. The pillar of punishment is that the purpose of punishment is no longer synonymous with retaliation, but there are efforts to improve the behavior of the perpetrators of crime. The changes in the three pillars are influenced by the basic idea of ??balancing the values ??of Pancasila, namely the values ??of Divinity, Humanity, and Society. Recommendations in strengthening the direction of criminal law reform are needed in formulating criminal provisions outside the Draft Criminal Code that must be in accordance with the basic idea of ??balance which is the ideal of criminal law reform law.

Tujuan penelitian untuk mengetahui arah baru kebijakan politik hukum pidana mengenai tindak pidana, pertanggungjawaban pidana dan pemidanaan. Metode penelitian menggunakan penelitian hukum normatif. Hasil kajian penelitian dalam bagian pembahasan ialah pembaruan pilar hukum pidana yakni tindak pidana, pertanggungjawaban pidana, dan pemidanaan berorientasi pada ide dasar nilai keseimbangan. Pembaruan pilar tindak pidana tertuju pada perluasan makna asas legalitas yang memberikan ruang pada hukum yang hidup sebagai sumber hukum dan melahirkan pula terminologi yuridis mengenai tindak pidana. Pilar pertangungjawaban pidana mengakomodasi asas tiada pidana tanpa kesalahan. Pilar pemidanaan bahwa tujuan pemidanaan tidak lagi identik pembalasan akan tetapi ada upaya memperbaiki perilaku dari pelaku kejahatan. Perubahan ketiga pilar tersebut dipengaruhi oleh ide dasar keseimbangan nilai Pancasila yaitu nilai Ketuhanan, Kemanusiaan, dan Kemasyarakatan. Rekomendasi dalam memperkuat arah pembaruan hukum pidana diperlukan dalam merumuskan ketentuan pidana di luar RUU KUHP harus sesuai dengan ide dasar keseimbangan yang menjadi cita hukum pembaruan hukum pidana

Descriptive Method

Progressive law puts forward the sociology of law rather than legal certainty which is the focus of legal positivism. In Indonesia, this law was coined by Satjipto Rahardjo. This study aims to determine the formulation of progressive law in future criminal law, and to determine the actualization of the concept of progressive law in regulating corruption in Indonesia. The research method used is a normative legal research method with statute and conceptual approaches. The technique of collecting legal materials in this study is a descriptive method that aims to obtain the meaning of reality related to the problems to be discussed and solved in this study. The results show that in the current Criminal Code Bill, progressive law has been regulated, to be precise in Article 2 paragraph (1) and (2). Progressive law is also regulated in Law no. 48 of 2009 concerning Judicial Power. Then, the actualization of progressive law in regulating corruption in Indonesia is a judge with the powers that take into account the sociological context of society in making decisions. Judges, prosecutors and lawyers can certainly discuss together in eradicating corruption. Efforts are also being made to reconstruct and redefine the power of law enforcement. This arrangement can also encourage the KPK to be more progressive in eradicating corruption, as well as building law enforcers who have morality so that they can become role models and increase public participation, for example by forming NGOs in preventing or fighting corruption in various agencies.

Budi Pego was charged with violating Article 107a of Law Number 27 of 1999 concerning Amendment to the Criminal Law Code relating to crimes against State security, because of. Because of these accusations, Budi Pego was charged with a 10-month prison sentence in the Banyuwangi District Court. The problem faced is how criminal liability on the perpetrators of the spread of the teachings of communism in terms of Article 107A of the Criminal Code (case study of decision No. 559 / Pid.B / 2017 / PN.Byw)? The research method used is normative legal research. The results showed that criminal liability on the perpetrators of the spread of the teachings of communism in terms of Article 107A of the Criminal Code in Decision No. 559 / Pid.B / 2017 / PN.Byw. it is inappropriate if this criminal liability model is applied to criminal liability to individuals. Considering that individual accountability still requires actions and mistakes as a basic element of accountability. That is, without any deeds and mistakes, there is no criminal liability. Regarding the Budi Pego case, the policy of criminalizing the ideology of Communism/Marxism-Leninism was decriminalized. If this cannot be done, then the legislators need to revise Law No. 27 of 1999 with the concept of eliminating articles containing formal offenses and replacing them with the formulation of material offenses and in the formulation of the weight of sanctions.

Definition Of

In the article the authors consider the institute of penalization in general and penalization of illegal interference in the work of the automated document management system of the court in Ukraine in particular. It is indicated that the study of sanctions of criminal law, and in particular Art. 376-1 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, which provides for criminal liability for unlawful interference in the automated document management system of the court, allows us to conclude that the legislator does not always correctly correlate the public danger of an illegal act, its consequences for the state and society. According to the author, the concept of penalization is somewhat narrower than penalization. This can be explained by the fact that criminal law, despite all its humanity, is an instrument, first of all, punitive, and only then educational influence. In most cases, correction is achieved through punishment in its purest form. That is why the measures and means of alternative work with a criminal offender, which consists in release from punishment are very limited. Therefore, depenalization is a mirror image of penalization, in its narrower sense. The author's definition of penalization is offered, which should be understood as a component of criminal law policy, which is a set of mutually agreed principles, laid down in the content of punishment and implemented in the form of sanctions of the Special Part of criminal law. It is concluded that currently the types of penalties provided for illegal interference in the work of the automated document management system of the court are not fully effective and do not correspond to the level of public danger of the act. An important way of development for the legislator is to change the approach to the subjects of such an offense and to establish the features of its commission, all the necessary components of the subjective side of the criminal offense. Currently, one of the effective ways to solve this situation is to differentiate criminal liability depending on the type of subject (general or special).

Abstract This paper deals with the definition of (substantive) subsidiarity of criminal repression and the possibility of its application to the criminal liability of legal persons. After defining the liability of legal persons in the relevant legal regulations, the paper presents an interpretation of subsidiarity in Section 12(2) of the Criminal Code that is significantly different from the “official” opinion. Subsequently, the paper discusses certain criminal law situations in which the application of subsidiarity would lead to the conclusion that the legal person is not punishable (“non-criminality”). The first aim was thus to present the theoretical concept of subsidiarity of criminal repression, which would be methodologically correct, and therefore generally applicable. The second objective was directed at demonstrating that this construct can be applied to specific examples of the liability of legal persons, that is, that it can be applied to the activities of the bodies in charge of criminal proceedings.

Relevance of the research topic. The criminal code of the Russian Federation establishes criminal liability for non-payment of wages (article 1451). Liability under this rule occurs only if the employer has the actual ability to make payment of wages. In this regard, the author analyzes situations that may indicate the absence of such a possibility, and their significance in the qualification of the crime, based on the study of judicial and investigative practice. Problem statement. In science, there is no unity of views regarding the qualification of situations in which the perpetrator does not have the opportunity to repay the arrears of wages. It is proposed to consider the existing cases according to the rules of extreme necessity, reasonable risk, innocent behavior, and so on. However, each of these institutions differs in a specific set of characteristics necessary for the recognition of the committed act as inviolable. In this regard, the possibility of exemption from criminal liability for nonpayment of wages directly depends on the circumstance that eliminates the criminality of the committed act, if there are good reasons for non-payment, it can be attributed to. Research goals and methods. The purpose of the study is to assess the criminal law circumstances in which the crime of non-payment of wages can be eliminated. The paper uses dialectical, comparative legal, historical-legal, formal-legal methods of legal research. Results and key conclusions. A study was conducted on the possibility of applying the circumstances provided for by the Criminal code of the Russian Federation that eliminate the criminality of an act to cases of non-payment of wages. The conclusion that only extreme necessity can be considered as the only such circumstance is substantiated.
