Crime Of Corruption

Corruption is a crime, just like all other crimes which has existed since a long time ago. The problem is that corruption is like a virus in the society which may spread very quickly. It is difficult to eradicate. The efforts to eradicate corruption has been carried out, but the reality shows that it keeps on increasing along with the increasing welfare, technologies, and development. On 2018, Indonesia stood in the 89th place of the world corruption rank. Thus, there needs to be a reconstruction to the forms of the main and the additional punishments in Indonesia’s positive law, so that it is clear that corruption is a terrible crime which must be fought using extraordinary methods. In Indonesia’s constitution of Corruption Eradication Article 2 clause 2 of the constitution No. 31 of 1999 it states that, “In the case of the crime of corruption as meant in clause (1), when carried out under certain conditions, death penalty may be imposed.” From the explanation of that article, and also from the Constitution No. 31 of 1999 it can be concluded that the forms of existing main punishments are: Imprisonment for some time or life sentence, death sentence, or fine. Meanwhile, the forms of additional punishments are: The revocation of certain rights, the deprivation of certain items, the announcement of the judge’s verdict, the deprivation of tangible movable properties (unmovable and intangible) which are used or are obtained from corruption, the payment of replacement money according to the amount obtained from corruption, the closing of some businesses for the maximum period of one year, and the revocation of all or some rights (the elimination of some privileges.

Over thirty years ago Douglas Hay began his influential essay, “Property, Authority and the Criminal Law,” with the unsettling claim that “the rulers of eighteenth-century England cherished the death sentence.” He went on to offer a major reinterpretation of eighteenth-century justice, one with wide-ranging implications for how we understand English society in that period. The gallows, Hay argues, was meant to inspire terror. The passage of a large number of capital statutes spoke of the resolve of the ruling class to defend its property with the most extreme of measures. Yet the ultimate sanction was used sparingly. Hay's most important insight was to note the role of discretion in the operation of eighteenth-century justice. The choice not to impose death was as important as the occasions when offenders died. The elite deftly exploited these opportunities. The mercy dispensed by the Crown not only presented a more benign image of authority, it also taught the lessons of patronage and deference that instructed the lower orders in the proper attitude to take toward their social superiors. Thus justice worked more powerfully than religion to create legitimacy for the existing order.
