Crimes and Violations

A crime is a deliberate act or an act of omission in violating criminal law, committed not in self-defense and without justification established by the state. Thus, it is explicitly stated that criminal behavior can be subject to sanctions officially established by the state. In the Indonesian Criminal Code, more precisely in the second book of the Criminal Code are criminal acts that are classified as crimes, while the third book of the Criminal Code are criminal acts related to violations.

Division of acts criminal into crimes and violations has several consequences. First, the actions and consequences caused by crimes are more dangerous compared to violations. Second, the consequence of the first has a great influence on the criminal sanctions listed. Of course, the threat of punishment for crimes is more severe than for violations. Third, an attempt to commit a crime, the maximum threat is reduced by one-third, while an attempt to commit a violation is not threatened with punishment.
