Internalisasi Nilai-Nilai Antikorupsi Melalui Regulasi Tindak Pidana Korupsi Di Indonesia

Abstract

Corruption remains a serious problem in Indonesia despite having been explicitly regulated in statutory law, particularly in the Law on the Eradication of Corruption Crimes. The persistently high incidence of corruption indicates that repressive law enforcement alone has not been fully effective in fostering legal awareness and anti-corruption behavior. This study aims to analyze the regulation of corruption offenses within Indonesian statutory law, examine its role in internalizing anti-corruption educational values, and explain its relevance as a means of shaping legal awareness and societal integrity. The research method employed is library-based research using a normative-juridical approach, conducted through the examination of statutory regulations, legal literature, and relevant scholarly studies. The research data consist of primary data in the form of statutory regulations related to corruption offenses and secondary data comprising literature on anti-corruption education and theories of legal awareness. The findings indicate that the regulation of corruption offenses has the potential to function as an educational instrument for internalizing anti-corruption values; however, this potential has not yet been optimally utilized. The conclusion of this study emphasizes that combating corruption requires strengthening the educational function of law in order to sustainably cultivate legal awareness and societal integrity.
