Law Enforcement, Demonstrations, Criminal LootingAbstract
The police have announced all suspects in the looting of several officials' homes that occurred during the demonstrations at the end of August 2025. A total of 52 people have been named as suspects and detained. These arrests have drawn public attention because the looted homes belonged not only to current officials but also to former ministers.This research uses a normative legal research method. The approach begins with a search for legal materials as a basis for making legal decisions on concrete legal cases. Where the legal rules used in this research are the Criminal Code (KUHP), specifically Article 363 concerning Aggravated Theft. From the results of the study, it is concluded that law enforcement in a country is highly dependent on important elements that form the legal system itself as stated by Lawrence M. Friedman, that law enforcement emphasizes the existence of three main elements in a legal system: legal structure, legal substance, and legal culture. Law enforcement carried out by the police is carried out repressively where the perpetrators of the crime of looting are processed after the looting has occurred. In the event of issues about or at the time of looting, the police should have taken preventive measures by securing the scene of the crime so as to minimize greater damage and losses.
