Kajian Normatif terhadap Tantangan Penegakan Hukum atas Tindak Pidana Scam Lintas Negara di Era Globalisasi

Abstract

The phenomenon of cross-border scam crimes has increased significantly in line with advances in information technology and globalization. This crime is transnational in nature, involving perpetrators, victims, and criminal instruments from multiple jurisdictions, thereby creating major challenges for national law enforcement. This article aims to analyze the challenges and solutions of law enforcement against cross-border scam crimes in Indonesia through a normative approach. The research method employed is normative juridical legal research, using statutory, conceptual, and comparative approaches. The results indicate that cross-border scam crimes in Indonesia still face various obstacles, both normatively and structurally. The effectiveness of law enforcement remains hindered by the limitations of the territoriality principle, differences in legal systems among countries, and the slow pace of international cooperation mechanisms. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen national regulations, develop international legal cooperation instruments such as Mutual Legal Assistance and extradition, and enhance the capacity of law enforcement officials through digital forensic technology and understanding of international law. This normative approach is expected to strengthen Indonesia’s legal framework and law enforcement mechanisms in addressing cross-border scam crimes.
