The Special Minimum Criminal Ideas in Narcotics

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to understand the essence of the idea of the need for a special minimum punishment in Act No. 35 of 2009 concerning Narcotics. The approach method used in this paper is normative juridical. This writing specification is descriptive analytical. Criminal sanctions in Act No. 35 of 2009 concerning Narcotics, it is known that there are minimum and maximum sanctions which are in Article 111 to Article 148 of Act No. 35 of 2009 concerning Narcotics. Then the weighting of penalties in Act No. 35 of 2009 can also be seen from its nature, which is cumulative, meaning that if a person is proven to have committed a narcotic crime, he will be subject to imprisonment and a fine. With the existence of a special minimum criminal system, as contained in Act No. 35 of 2009 concerning Narcotics, it is expected that perpetrators of criminal acts of drug abuse can be subject to severe penalties, This is because every year the number of perpetrators of narcotics crimes is increasing/increasing, where one of the causes cannot be separated from the lightness of the decisions handed down by judges so that the imposition of crimes does not create a deterrent effect for the perpetrators. Even though it is very clear that narcotics have a very bad impact on their users, even narcotics crimes are very dangerous for the interests of the nation and state.
