EFEKTIVITAS PENEGAKAN HUKUM TERHADAP TINDAK PIDANA JUDI OLNLINE DALAM PERSPEKTIF UU ITE DAN KUHP

Abstract

The rapid development of information technology has led to the emergence of various new types of criminal acts, one of which is online gambling. This crime not only causes social unrest but also poses a serious challenge to the law enforcement system in Indonesia. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of law enforcement against online gambling crimes by examining the provisions of the Law on Electronic Information and Transactions (ITE Law) and the Indonesian Penal Code (KUHP). The research method used is normative juridical with a statutory and case study approach. The results indicate that although regulations exist in Article 27 paragraph (2) of the ITE Law and Article 303 of the Penal Code, their implementation still faces various obstacles, such as difficulties in tracking perpetrators across borders, limited digital forensic capabilities, and suboptimal coordination among law enforcement agencies. Therefore, strategic measures are needed, including regulatory reform, institutional capacity strengthening, and international cooperation, to improve the effectiveness of combating the increasingly widespread practice of online gambling.
