Effectiveness of Criminal Application or Fine for Applicants of Violation Information and Electronic Transaction

Abstract

Efforts to prevent information technology crimes in the future will be carried out by law enforcement officials, such as the following: First, educating law enforcement officials, because dealing with crimes through social media requires specialization of investigators and public prosecutors can be considered as one way to enforce law against cybercrime. Currently Indonesia is in dire need of "Cyber Law Enforcement", such as: Cyber Police, Cyber Prosecutors, Cyber Judges and Cyber Advocates, in the context of cybercrime law enforcement in Indonesia. Without the presence of law enforcers who are in the field of information technology, it will be difficult to enforce "Cyber Law" in an equitable Indonesia. Second, Building forensic computing facilities to be established by the National Police. The improvement of facilities or facilities in dealing with information technology crimes is not only limited by trying as much as possible to up-date and up-grade the facilities and infrastructure that are already owned by law enforcement officials but also by completing these facilities or facilities in accordance with today's technological developments. Third, increasing investigative efforts, because criminal acts regulated by the ITE Law are special crimes, so special investigators are needed. Article 43 of the ITE Law states, in addition to the police, the authority of investigation is on the shoulders of Civil Servants (PPNS). Cyber task force involves not only the National Police but also PPNS, Prosecutors and judges whose scope ranges from the central level to the provinces and also the regencies. The collaboration effort is not only done with fellow cyber law enforcement officers, but also asks for help from experts who required in the investigation. The "expert" referred to here is of course someone who has special expertise in the field of IT and must be accountable academically and practically.
