Abstract
The purpose of writing this article is to
analyze the dynamics of the development of the culture of corruption in
Indonesia and the efforts to overcome it. For this reason, the approach
method is in the form of normative legal studies. Data were collected by
reading and studying legal documents. Furthermore, the data were analyzed using
qualitative descriptive analysis. The results of the discussion are that
corruption has been considered a new "culture" in Indonesia. If the
"culture" of corruption is allowed to develop, corruption will become
an obstacle to the government's program to improve the welfare of all Indonesian
people. To prevent the growth of the "culture" of corruption in
Indonesia, the efforts made are: reforming the criminal law on corruption which
includes the application of reversed proof, the application of the teaching of
the nature of material unlawfulness in a positive function, the accumulation of
criminal sanctions and special minimum criminal provisions are aggravated. This
is intended so that people feel deterred from committing corruption; however,
efforts to reform the law on corruption need to be supported by law enforcement
officers who are clean, professional, and have strong moral courage.
