This study aims to analyze the character of the sanctions system against corporations that commit consumer protection crimes. This paper is novel because it seeks to contribute to the current debate in the literature about sanctioned individuals and corporations by comparing the sanction and fines in few countries. Criminal sanctions in force in a country are very dependent on the state's reaction to the deviant activities of the corporations in the society concerned. The state's response was manifested in the sanction system policy towards corporations that commit criminal acts. A sanction system is still conventional, while a sanction system is responsive to the corporate phenomenon. Does this research discuss the sanction system's character against corporations that commit criminal acts of consumer protection? What are the problems of the system of sanctions against corporations that commit these consumer protection crimes? This research was conducted with a normative and comparative approach to comparing the sanctions against corporations that commit criminal acts of consumer protection between the Indonesian Consumer Protection Act and the Consumer Protection Act in several countries, namely Malaysia, the Philippines, Canada, and Finland. This study indicated differences in the character of the criminal sanction system between the Consumer Protection Act of Malaysia, the Philippines, Canada, Finland, and Indonesia against corporations that commit criminal acts in consumer protection. Another characteristic found is a single formulation, namely the threat of criminal fines except for the Indonesian Consumer Protection Act.

Regarding the time or warranty period for an item according to Malikiyah scholars whose nature is not perishable takes longer. In general, currently electronic goods are only given a one-year warranty period. Whereas in Law Number 8 Article 27 of 1999 concerning the Consumer Protection Law, the risk period for goods traded within a period of 4 years has been contained. The formulation of the problem and the pupose of this study is to find out how the warranty system is in muamalah fiqh and how is the guarantee system in the consumer protection law. The research method used can be classified as a descriptive analysis of reseach in two perspectives, namely in muamalah fiqh and UUPK, and with a qualitative approach, data is obtained through library research. The resulth of this study show that the warranty system in muamalah fiqh shows that the khiyar system for goods that have defects or damage in them ( disgrace ) applies when there is a defect ( disgrace ) damage to goods that are not easily damaged. Regarding the time to sue for losses is not set a definite time limit because items that are not easily damaged, especially electronics require a long time. And the results of research into the warranty system in the UUPK stipulate that the seller or business actor is obliged to provide guarantess for goods sold as a form of warranty for damaged goods, and the seller will be subject to criminal sanctions when compensation claims made by the consumer are rejected or not fulfilled. Regarding the time limit for the prosecution of damaged goods is set for 4 ( four ) years.Key word: Guarantees, Fiqh Muamalah, and the Consumer Protection Act

AbstrakArtikel ini membahas dua permasalahan pokok: pertama, kriteria yang digunakan oleh pembentuk undang-undang di bidang politik dalam menetapkan suatu perbuatan sebagai perbuatan pidana (kriminalisasi); dan kedua, fungsi sanksi pidana dalam undang-undang di bidang politik. Terkait dengan kriminalisasi, undang-undang di bidang politik yang termasuk ke dalam hukum administrasi, maka pertimbangan dari pembuat undang-undang tentu saja tidak sekedar kriminalisasi sebagaimana diatur dalam ketentuan hukum pidana dalam arti sebenarnya. Hal tersebut disebabkan adanya pertimbangan-pertimbangan tertentu. Pertama, perbuatan yang dilarang dalam hukum pidana administrasi lebih berorientasi pada perbuatan yang bersifat mala prohibita, sedangkan dalam ketentuan hukum pidana yang sesungguhnya berorientasi pada perbuatan yang bersifat mala in se. Kedua, sebagai konsekuensi dari adanya penggolongan dua kategori kejahatan tersebut, maka pertimbangan yang dijadikan acuan juga akan berbeda. Untuk yang pertama (mala prohibita), sanksi pidana itu dibutuhkan untuk menjamin ditegakkannya hukum administrasi tersebut. Dalam hal ini sanksi pidana berfungsi sebagai pengendali dan pengontrol tingkah laku individu untuk mencapai suatu keadaan yang diinginkan. Sedangkan untuk yang kedua (mala in se), fungsi hukum pidana dan sanksi pidana lebih berorientasi pada melindungi dan mempertahankan nilai-nilai moral yang tertanam di masyarakat tempat di mana hukum itu diberlakukan atau ditegakkan. Kata Kunci: Kebijakan, Kriminalisasi, Undang-Undang PolitikThis article discusses two main problems: firstly, the criteria used by the legislators in the field of politics in determining an act as a criminal act (criminalization); secondly, the function of criminal sanctions in legislation in the field of politics. Associated with criminalization, legislation in the field of politics that is included in administrative law, the consideration of the legislators of course not just criminalization as stipulated in the provisions of criminal law in the true sense. This is due to certain considerations. Firstly, the act which is forbidden in the administration of criminal law is more oriented to act is malum prohibitum offences, whereas in actual criminal law provisions in the act are mala in se offences. Secondly, as a consequence of the existence of two categories of classification of the crime, then consideration will also vary as a reference. For the first (mala prohibita), criminal sanctions are needed to ensure the enforcement of the administrative law. In this case the criminal sanction serves as controller and controlling the behavior of individuals to achieve a desired state. As for the second (mala in se), the function of criminal law and criminal sanctions is more oriented to protect and maintain the moral values that are embedded in a society where the law was enacted or enforced.
