Crime or violence directed against women is distinct from crime in general. The characteristics of the crime include women victims, their acts against women's rights, and causing harm in the form of physical, psychological, and/or sexual. A year after Indonesia’s independence, this crime against women was regulated along with other crimes in the Criminal Code (Penal Code) through Act No. 1946. 1 on the Rule of Criminal Law, but not by using a special title with a woman's name. Accordingly, the Criminal Code, which according to history is a Dutch colonial heritage, needs to be reformed to become a better Criminal Code. This paper tries to explain the regulation of violence against women in the form of criminal acts of rape in various countries namely Malaysia, India and the Netherlands. This study is normative legal research with a comparative approach. The author will compare the substance of criminal law in the three Criminal Codes. In doing the comparison, the author focuses on the object of criminal law review, especially on the side of the act and penal sanctions. Based on the study descriptions of several foreign Criminal Codes (Malaysia, India, and the Netherlands), there are several different things in the rape arrangements in the Criminal Codes. The difference is that in Malaysia and India, the Criminal Code does not distinguish between rape (rape) and Cabul (lewd). Only the arrangement is formulated with intercourse with consent. The types of rape in India and Malaysia are more varied than the Dutch, both in terms of the act, the aspect of the perpetrator and the victim aspect. Nevertheless, the Indonesian Criminal Code is simpler than the Dutch Criminal Code. Malaysian Criminal Code has the most serious penal sanction compared to the other foreign countries (India and the Netherland) and Indonesia. The study of these three different laws in these three countries can open our eyes  to reformulate the rape which is more extensively formulated from the aspects of the actions and aspects of the victims with reference from the foreign Criminal Code, and this simple study can be an input of legal material to be processed in accordance with the Nation's values Indonesia.

Penal Sanctions

The ordinary and extraordinarily mitigated imposition of penalty under Criminal Code following the revision of 20 February 2015The paper demonstrates the penal law consequences of making changes to the provisions of Art. 58 § 1, repealing Art. 58 § 3 and instead adding Art. 37a and Art. 37b to the Criminal Code of 1997 effected through the revision dated 20 February 2015 Journal of Laws item 396. The author points out that the intention to modify the policy followed by courts in their judicial decisions, most notably to significantly reduce the number of cases with sentences imposing penalty of deprivation of liberty, with a conditional suspension of its enforcement disturbs the logic of the system of sanctions on which the Criminal Code was based along with the entire system of criminal law to which the Criminal Code applies. Furthermore, the difference between the ordinary imposition of penalty and the extraordinarily mitigated imposition of penalty has been blurred, with the latter to be applied only when there are special grounds for such measures, which means only in exceptional situations meriting an extraordinarily mitigated consideration, which is not required when ruling the ordinary imposition of penalty.The paper also disputes the arguments according to which the provision of Art. 37a of the Criminal Code supplements simple sanctions providing only for imposition of deprivation of liberty with non-custodial alternative penalties such as fine or limitation of liberty. Criticism is also expressed with regard to the proposed reduction of the lowest penalty of deprivation of liberty from one month to one week.The paper calls for repealing Art. 37a of the Criminal Code and reviving the imposition of penalty stipulated in the repealed Art. 58 § 3 of the Criminal Code, however without the preference included there concerning the additional imposition of a penal measure. It is also pointed out that it is high time to carry out a thorough revision of the penal sanctions for all kinds of crimes stipulated in the Polish legal order with the author naming a number of specific suggestions in this respect.

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.

The death penalty is one of old criminal type as the age of human life, and the most controversial crime in of all criminal systems, both in countries that adhere to the Common Law System and in countries that embrace Civil Law, Islamic Law and Socialist Law. There are two main thoughts about the death penalty, namely: first, those who want to keep it based on the force provisions, and second are those who wish to the abolition as a whole. Indonesia includes a country that still maintains capital punishment in a positive legal system. This paper aims to resolve problems of the death penalty concept concerning the controversy purpose of the death penalty and to analyze the regulations, procedures and philosophies regarding the death penalty in Indonesia, Saudi Arabia and China. This paper uses normative juridical research and the methods based on the doctrine and developed by the author. The approach used the legal approach, historical approach and comparative approach, then analyzed by the customary method.The result of the study shows that the death penalty can be seen from the philosophical aspects of Indonesian criminal law, as well as the philosophical aspects of Islamic and Chinese criminal law. So that everything can not be separated from the essential legal objectives, namely for the creation of justice. Death penalty in Islamic law turns out the concept of restorative justice specifically for the crime of deliberate killing (al-qatl al-'amd), which the execution highly depends on the victim’s family. The victim’s family, in this case, has the right to choose whether qisas (death penalty) or their apologize for the murder suspect, and diyat payment. While China in the implementation of death penalty applies the concept of rehabilitation, which in the execution of the death penalty is called a death penalty delay for two years and in its implementation, the defendant is given a job and control them. Whereas in Indonesia, capital punishment is a specific criminal offence and threatened with alternatives and is still a draft Criminal Code.

The Ideal

The basic idea underlying the reform of  the Criminal Code Bill has an impact on reforming the pillars of criminal law. The purpose of this research is to find out the new direction of criminal law policy regarding criminal acts, criminal responsibility and punishment. 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.

Purpose. The purpose of the work is to study the criminal offenses of terrorism in the criminal law of foreign countries and to outline the limits of the use of its positive assets. The methodology. The methodology includes a comprehensive analysis and generalization of existing scientific and theoretical material and formulation of relevant conclusions. The following methods of scientific cognition were used during the research: comparative-legal, logical-grammatical, system-structural, modeling. Results In the course of the research it was recognized that in the criminal legislation of foreign countries there is no single approach to the definition of criminal offenses of terrorist orientation. In most European countries, prosecution is provided not only in the criminal code, but also in special laws to combat this phenomenon. At the same time, increased attention is paid to the fight against terrorist financing and incitement to terrorism. Also noteworthy is the attribution to terrorism of a significant number of illegal acts, which without a terrorist purpose constitute independent criminal offenses (murder, bodily harm, riots, robbery, damage to important public buildings, kidnapping, etc.). Scientific novelty. In the course of the research it is scientifically substantiated to divide the legislation on liability for criminal offenses of terrorist orientation into three models: 1) complex (combination of criminal law and specially defined for counter-terrorism legislation); 2) criminal law; 3) criminological, in which the fight against terrorism is reflected only in specialized legislation. Practical significance. The results of the study can be used in law-making activities in further improving the national criminal law on terrorist offenses, as well as in the educational process during the teaching and study of disciplines "Special part of criminal law of Ukraine" and "Criminology".
