Many of us may often read or hear the phrases legal protection and law enforcement. What exactly do legal protection and law enforcement mean? Let's take a look at the following review.

Terminologically, legal protection can be interpreted from a combination of two definitions, namely "protection" and "law." KBBI (Kamus Besar Bahasa Indonesia/Great Dictionary of the Indonesian Language) defines protection as something or an act that protects. Then, law can be defined as regulations or customs that are officially considered binding, which are confirmed by the authorities or the government.

Referring to this definition, legal protection can be interpreted as an effort to protect carried out by the government or authorities with a number of existing regulations. In short, legal protection is a function of the law itself; providing protection.

The Law Dictionary defines legal protection as mandatory regulations that determine human behavior in a social environment. These regulations are made by official bodies that are authorized, and violations of these regulations will result in action being taken.

Legal Protection is a protection given to legal subjects in the form of tools that are both preventive and repressive, both oral and written. In other words, it can be said that legal protection is an image of the function of the law itself, which has the concept that the law provides justice, order, certainty, benefits and peace. In carrying out and providing legal protection, a place or container is needed in its implementation, which is often called a means of legal protection. The means of legal protection are divided into two types that can be understood, namely Preventive Legal Protection facilities and Repressive Legal Protection facilities.
