Abstract

Law enforcement in Indonesia is still moving around the positivism paradigm, the view that law does not derive from God or the universe. Instead, law comes from human, separating it from morality. Automatically, it leads to isolate law from moral and religious values, making it a mere instrument, a la Bouche de la loi (mouthpiece of law), hammer tapper of the legal text formulated in a space of power which leads it far away from the sense of justice. The aim of the study is to know (1) why moral dimension is necessary in the law enforcement in Indonesia; and (2) the concept of law enforcement in Indonesia to realize true justice. The research employed juridical sociological approach to analyze the legislative regulations as well as the underlying values of the law enforcement system in Indonesia. Sociological approach was used to analyze the cases, starting from the investigation process, prosecution, to trial. The research results show that law enforcement in Indonesia requires moral dimension to actualize true justice by seeing human’s dignity as the core values. A law enforcer should value the principles of humanity, such as righteousness, honesty, kindness, justice, freedom, and happiness. Law enforcement in Indonesia applies prophetic concept that combines social and religious values for the benefits of the people.
