The Implementation of “Plea Bergaining” in Indonesian Renewal Criminal Law

Abstract

The plea bargaining system is a system that prioritizes the efficiency of criminal prosecution by means of negotiations between the general public and the prosecutor and legal counsel, which substantially involves an exchange of "admissions of guilt" from the defendant, with the reduction of the criminal threat or reduction. accusations leveled against the defendant. The main concept of plea bargaining is not just a matter of "bargaining" punishment, but focuses on the defendant's admission of guilt. This can then make it easier for all law enforcement officials to resolve cases more quickly with more accurate evidence, especially if there is a confession from the perpetrator who has been named a defendant. One example of the application of the concept of plea bargaining is the United States. The implementation of plea bargaining in the United States has made criminal prosecutions in the United States effective and efficient so that criminal prosecutions in the United States are able to prevent high costs and lengthy criminal proceedings. The application of plea bargaining in the criminal criminal system in Indonesia will be suppressed with several limitations, namely plea bargaining will be given to criminals who commit crimes with a sentence of under seven years. The opportunity to obtain a plea bargaining process will be given to fraudsters once so that respondents who have entered into a plea bargaining process will not get the opportunity to be tried using the plea bargaining mechanism.
