Legal Literacy - The crime of corruption is a social problem that remains a serious challenge in maintaining the stability of the social order to this day. In the classification of this offense, the resultant of a series of crimes committed has the potential to have significant implications for various fundamental aspects of society, both in the economic sector, public services, and moral and legal paradigms.

There are structural and systemic risks that can then be felt by victims in massive numbers. This risk is not only in the form of fiscal and economic losses, but also causes damage to various institutions of community life directly. This is what causes the academic community to then identify the crime of corruption as an extraordinary crime (extraordinary crime). The reason is that the complexity of the modus operandi, resources, and negative impacts inherent in the crime are not conventional, and require a more intensive handling approach (extraordinary measures) from policymakers.

Indonesia itself has developed specific policies in an effort to combat corruption. Until 1999, the ratification of Law Number 31 of 1999 concerning the Eradication of Corruption (UU PTPK) and its amendments in Law Number 20 of 2001 was initiated. In the policy, the substance of the offense that becomes core crime or the core crime in the cluster of corruption crimes lies in the formulation of Article 2 paragraph (1) and Article 3 which are later known as state loss offenses. This category of crime represents the central point of the legal value that the legislature intends to protect in the Law on Eradication of Corruption, namely the financial aspect of the state and the state economy which are very essential for the interests of the nation and state.
