Abstract

This research aims to analyse the influence of legal culture on criminal policies of bribery in Indonesia. As a new weapon in the prevention and eradication of corruption, Indonesia has ratified the 2003 United Nation Convention against Corruption (UNCAC), which stated that corruption is a common enemy in the international community. Criminalisation towards bribery as a part of corruption is not only against domestic public officials but also foreign public officials and officials of international organisations. Furthermore, bribery in the private sector is also categorised as corruption. This research used juridical-normative data analysis methods. The results of the study concluded that law as a cultural product was strongly influenced by non-legal factors such as values, norms, attitudes, and views of society as a reference in criminal acts of bribery that pay attention to the substance of law, legal structure, and emphasise legal culture to foster public awareness of their rights and obligations as citizens in the context of upholding law and justice.
