JURIDICAL ANALYSIS OF ORDINARY OFFENSES IN THE CRIMINAL CODE (NEW VS OLD) IN INDONESIA

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the changes that occur in the new Criminal Code in Indonesia as well as the implementation of criminal law in a modern context. The method used is a normative legal study with a comparative approach between the old and new Criminal Code. Data was collected through literature study from various legal sources, including journals and recent legal books. The results show that the new Criminal Code presents a number of significant updates, such as the elimination of colonial and discriminatory articles, as well as the integration of restorative justice principles that emphasize the recovery and reintegration of offenders into society. In addition, the new Criminal Code also introduces more diverse and proportional sanctions, including rehabilitation as well as non-criminal sanctions. These changes are expected to provide justice that is more inclusive and responsive to the legal needs of contemporary society
