PENEGAKAN HUKUM TERHADAP TINDAK PIDANA PENGANIAYAAN DI WILAYAH HUKUM POLSEK WOLO KABUPATEN KOLAKA (Studi di Polsek Wolo Kab. Kolaka)

Abstract

This study aims to identify the causal factors underlying assault offenses within the jurisdictional boundaries of the Wolo Police Sector, Kolaka Regency. Additionally, it evaluates the preventive and mitigative strategies employed by the police unit to counter such criminal activities.Assault constitutes a criminal offense under the Indonesian Criminal Code (KUHP). In the Wolo Police Sector, Kolaka Regency, investigations are managed by the Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Division (Reserse dan Kriminal), adhering to normative-empirical research principles through document analysis and field inquiry. Legal enforcement against individual or collective assaults is governed by Article 1(2) of the Criminal Procedure Code (KUHAP), defining investigation as systematic actions to gather evidence illuminating the offense and identifying suspects. Procedures encompass report reception, preliminary inquiry, formal investigation via examinations, securing at least two evidentiary items, suspect designation, detention, and case referral to the Public Prosecutor's Office for prosecution. Internal factors stem from individual impulses, exemplified by behavioral traits where positive conduct garners societal esteem. External factors, more intricate and multifaceted, prominently include social environmental influences that shape behavioral outcomes. These findings underscore the need for integrated approaches balancing internal rehabilitation with external environmental controls, aligning with Indonesian public governance and criminal law paradigms in policing and community safety.
