Penegakan Hukum terhadap Tindak Pidana Penganiayaan Ringan Mengakibatkan Kematian di Wilayah Hukum Pengadilan Negeri Jambi (Studi Kasus Putusan PN Nomor 299/PID.B/2014/PN.JBI)

Abstract

Every human being desires to obtain something of value with minimal effort, a mindset that can lead to illegal acts such as assault. The crime of assault is regulated under Articles 351 through 358 of the Indonesian Criminal Code (KUHP). In a ruling by the Jambi District Court, the defendant, Novita Binti M. Nasir, was sentenced to four months in prison for assault. This study employs several approaches, including statutory, case-based, and conceptual analyses. The six-month research plan focuses on data collection, experimentation, analysis, and the preparation of a final report. Data collection techniques include literature reviews and document analysis. The findings indicate that the enforcement of laws regarding assault in Jambi is consistent with prevailing legislation. Nevertheless, certain obstacles hinder the law enforcement process. Law enforcement officials seek to address these challenges by raising public awareness and fostering a greater sense of legal responsibility. They also encourage the community to play an active role in maintaining order and security. Furthermore, authorities take firm action and impose criminal sanctions commensurate with the severity of the offender's actions.
