Abstrak

Corruption is an extraordinary crime with a significant impact on state finances, the economy, and the socio-cultural fabric of society. Efforts to eradicate corruption require a systemic and comprehensive approach. This article discusses the importance of legalizing social sanctions for perpetrators of corruption as an effort to create a deterrent effect and raise public awareness of the dangers of corruption. Social sanctions can take the form of non-penal penalties, such as registering the names of perpetrators of corruption in public places, placing announcement signs in public places, or revoking certain rights. Legalizing social sanctions through clear and firm legislation is crucial to increasing the effectiveness of corruption eradication. This article also discusses the crime prevention theories of Cesare Beccaria and Jeremy Bentham, which are relevant to social sanctions for perpetrators of corruption. Therefore, this article is expected to contribute to the development of law and public policy in Indonesia, particularly in the area of corruption eradication.
