THE ROLE OF INVESTIGATOR IN CRIMINAL OFFENCE COMMITTED BY SOMEONE INDICATED BY MENTAL DISORDERS

Abstract

The writing of this paper was intended to explain the role of the investigation carried out by

the investigator against a criminal offense committed by someone who is indicated to have a mental disorder.

This scientific work was made because there were not a few criminal acts committed by someone who is indicated to have amentaldisorder. As in Purworejodistrict where the authors as investigators served in the area, there were 5-6 cases during the last 2 years, during the final 2016 to the present.

This case becomes attention because it has a quite dangerous impact on kamtibmas (community order) in thecommunity.

This scientific work focused on actors who indicated mental disorder, investigators were also expected to be able to carry out investigative procedures, guided by the procedures and environment of the area where the case occurred, because a criminal case handling conducted by someone who indicated a mental disorder cannot be equated with criminal acts committed by normal people.

With this scientific work, it was expected that the investigators can also innovate, so that in handling criminal cases committed by someone who is indicated mental disorder in the future will be better. Since, the development of the law and the situation in the jurisdiction of each region is different, and it is expected that investigators can adapt to the conditions of the region in service.
