The development of national criminal law ideally correlates with the national goals of a country. National goals are the basis and objectives of legal politics. Legal development is also one of the reform agendas. The purpose of this research is to examine the correlation between the development of national criminal law and national goals in Indonesia. This study uses secondary data and uses a philosophical approach that is idealizing the future national criminal law. The results of this study indicate that the national goals of the Indonesian state are contained in the Pancasila and the 1945 Constitution. The national goals are the goals of the state, namely protecting the Indonesian nation, promoting the general welfare, and educating the nation to realize a just and prosperous society. The meaning of national goals must be broken down in the administration of the nation and state based on the morals and spirit of Pancasila. The purpose of developing national criminal law cannot be separated from the ultimate goal of state and community life. The purpose of the law as social control, social order, and social guardian must be placed in the cultural measurement frame. The purpose of criminal law is to tackle crime. Legal development is also inseparable from efforts toward community welfare through social policies. The development of national law ideally correlates with national goals, even as one of the implementations of national goals. It is necessary to build a synergy of legal development goals in all its fields, such as the criminal field with national goals. To create a synergy between the goals of criminal law and national goals, between the interests of the community, perpetrators of crimes, and victims, a new concept of criminal law is needed as national criminal law.
