Discourse on the Application of Zero Sentences as Imposition of Criminal Sanctions in Indonesia

Journal Title: International Journal of Social Science And Human Research - Year 2023, Vol 6, Issue 02

Abstract

The verdict is still rarely known by the people of Indonesia. The question in society is why judges do not add punishment to perpetrators of criminal acts who have been proven valid and guilty of committing crimes. The implementation of zero sentences is still a problem in law enforcement in Indonesia. The reason is because, a zero sentence is not included in the type of punishment mentioned in Article 10 of the Criminal Code. The research method used is normative juridical which is carried out by studying, viewing and examining legal regulations such as the Criminal Code and Circular Letter Number 1 of 2022 concerning the Enforcement of the Formulation of the Results of the 2022 Supreme Court Chamber Plenary Meeting. The results of the study show that the application of the Zero Sentence in Indonesia certainly creates problems, namely two different opinions, if the defendant has been sentenced to a maximum prison sentence of 20 years, so if there are other cases a Zero Verdict is required, especially since there is SEMA No. 1 of 2022.
