LAW ENFORCEMENT CRIMINAL ACTS IN FISHERIES

Indonesia, as an island nation that makes the sea as a maritime axis, is faced with law enforcement issues. No exception around the territorial waters of Maluku as one of the archipelago provinces in Indonesia which is rich in marine resources so that illegal fishing activities often occur. Law enforcement against the handling of criminal acts in the field of fisheries can run well if it takes into account the factors that influence the process of law enforcement itself. This study aims to analyze the factors that influence law enforcement against criminal offences in the field of fisheries. The research method used is juridical legal research which is then complemented with socio-legal analysis to examine the factors that influence the process of law enforcement in the field of fisheries. The approach used in this research is the statutory approach and conceptual approach. Data sources needed in this study are primary legal materials, secondary standard materials and traditional tertiary materials. Furthermore, the data will be analyzed qualitatively. Based on the research results of law enforcement in the field of fisheries in the area of fishing is influenced by legislation that turns out to have weaknesses both in terms of criminal law (criminal acts, criminal liability and criminal) and administrative law (licensing and supervision); increasing human resources to produce professional law enforcement officers and inter-institutional coordination so that sectoral egos do not occur; lack of facilities and infrastructure to support the work of law enforcement officials; lack of participation or community participation in assisting law enforcement officers and lack of a legal culture both for law enforcement officials themselves and the community to understand, understand and have legal awareness. It is expected that in the future, to be able to produce effective and efficient law enforcement processes, the factors that influence this law enforcement process must be considered.
