Abstract

This research wants to know about the Criminal Law Triad, namely criminal acts, criminal responsibility/mistakes, and punishment in Law Number 1 of 2023. These three things are the main points of criminal law which also form the basis in determining the politics of criminal law enforcement. The research method used is normative, juridical-normative approach, namely research conducted by examining library materials (secondary data) or library law research, and will be analyzed using descriptive analytical methods. The results of this study explain that there has been a "Value Revolution" in Law Number 1 of 2023 (National Criminal Code)" from an Individualism-Liberalism character to a monodualistic character, which is clearly seen in the separation between "acts/actus reus" and "people /mens rea”, and developments in the principles of criminal responsibility, including the principle of no crime without fault, Geen Straf Zonder Schuld, Absolute Liability (strict liability), Vicarious liability, Criminal Liability Against Corporations. Furthermore, the matter of sentencing is motivated by the idea of criminal individualization to maintain a balance between society, perpetrators and victims.
