UTANG PIUTANG SEBAGAI FAKTOR PENYEBAB TERJADINYA TINDAK PIDANA PENIPUAN (Suatu Studi di Ditreskrimum Polda Sultra)

Abstract

The objectives of the study were: 1). To determine the factors causing the occurrence of fraud. 2). To determine efforts to prevent fraud. This study was conducted in the jurisdiction of the Southeast Sulawesi Regional Police using a normative empirical research type. The data collection methods used were document studies, field surveys and interviews using qualitative descriptive analysis. Based on the results of the study, it can be seen: 1. Factors that cause fraud, namely a. Environmental factors. The environment referred to here includes both micro and macro-scale environments. In micro terms, the family environment is very sensitive to human personality to commit acts that violate applicable provisions. Prolonged family conflicts always lead to negative human actions, especially those that always demand to always synchronize the family's position with those who are more capable and established. The consequences will justify any means to achieve goals. b. Poverty Factors Economic conditions sometimes a person always feels isolated from others, resulting in feelings of inferiority and without rational considerations so that a person can behave badly. Sometimes a person appears with his evil mind to commit fraud against others in order to achieve what he wants. According to the author's observation, this condition is the dominant one that occurs in the jurisdiction of the Southeast Sulawesi Regional Police. 2. Efforts to prevent the occurrence of criminal acts of fraud, namely by taking a persuasive approach to perpetrators and victims of fraud and conducting legal counseling to the community about the importance of understanding legal awareness.
