Cases of corruption generally begin with the abuse of authority by those in power.   Method: The penalty imposed in the Law to punish criminal acts of corruption does not yet have a sense of justice for the accused, so the Law does not function according to the objectives, benefits and ideals of the Indonesian Law.   Results: This font of study is regulating.
