Detention, Criminal Procedure Law, KUHAPAbstract
Indonesia is a legal state formed from a set of legal norms which include justice and freedom of human rights. However, freedom of human rights does not apply to perpetrators of criminal acts that threaten the safety of others or cause injustice to others. Criminal law enforcement officers are required to strictly follow up on perpetrators of criminal acts, one of which is by detaining them. Detention is a form of coercive measures carried out to limit the freedom of a suspect or defendant who is strongly suspected of committing a criminal act based on sufficient evidence. In carrying out detention, there are conditions that must be met in order for the detention of a suspect or accused to be legal according to law, namely there must be a detention order, sufficient evidence (at least two pieces of evidence as contained in Article 184 of the Undang-Undang Republik Indonesia Nomor 8 Tahun 1981 tentang Hukum Acara Pidana (Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 8 of 1981 concerning Criminal Procedure Law, hereinafter referred to as “KUHAP”), fulfilling objective and subjective elements and a copy of the detention order was given to the family. The purpose of detention is for the purposes of investigation, prosecution, and examination in court.
