1. INTRODUCTION
Co up ion has long been one o he mos se ious p oblems acing he Indonesian na ion (Fauzi e al., 2023). This p ac ice no

The dominan legal pa adigm in Indonesia emains based on a posi i is app oach ha emphasizes legal ce ain y and o mal

demands o subs an i e jus ice (Wi iadina a, 2015). In he con ex o co up ion e adica ion, he posi i is app oach usually
becomes apped in o mal p ocedu es, unable o pene a e he s uc u al and cul u al oo s o co up ion. As a esul , law

In esponse o hese limi a ions, he p og essi e legal pa adigm, ini ia ed by Sa jip o Raha djo, eme ged wi h he spi i o

In e na ional esea ch also shows a simila end. Johnson (2024) in his s udy on al e na i e app oaches o law en o cemen

In Indonesia, a s udy by Yusni a (2025) links explici ly Sa jip o Raha djo's ideas abou p og essi e law o he p ac ice o

Thus, he s udy o he applica ion o he p og essi e legal pa adigm as a s a egy o ans o ming an i-co up ion law

2. METHODOLOGY
This esea ch employs a no ma i e ju idical app oach, ocusing on he analysis o he concep o p og essi e law as a s a egy

The da a sou ces o his esea ch include p ima y legal ma e ials, such as laws and egula ions ela ed o he e adica ion o

The analy ical me hod employed was a desc ip i e-analy ical app oach wi h a quali a i e o ien a ion. The analysis was

Using his me hod, he esea ch seeks no only o explain how posi i e law applies in he con ex o co up ion e adica ion bu also

3. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
3.1 The Cu en S a e o An i-Co up ion Law En o cemen in Indonesia
An i-co up ion law en o cemen in Indonesia con inues o ace signi ican challenges, despi e no able p og ess in ins i u ional

F om a egula o y pe spec i e, Law No. 31 o 1999, in conjunc ion wi h Law No. 20 o 2001, p o ides a s ong legal basis o

such as poli ical in e e ence, weak independence o law en o cemen o icials, and inconsis encies in cou decisions (Haling e al.,
2024). Dispa i ies in sen encing be ween simila cases a e no uncommon, leading o nega i e public pe cep ions o he jus ice
sys em.
An i-co up ion ins i u ions also ace complex dynamics. The Co up ion E adica ion Commission (KPK), once conside ed
he mos e ec i e ins i u ion in e adica ing co up ion, has ecen ly been weakened by he 2019 e ision o he KPK Law, which
changed i s s a us o an ins i u ion unde he execu i e b anch (P ase io, 2021). This change has gi en ise o c i icism ha he KPK's
independence has diminished, cas ing doub on i s e ec i eness in handling majo co up ion cases (La i & Ramadani, 2024).
Fu he mo e, limi ed human esou ces, budge cons ain s, and a hea y wo kload also impac he pe o mance o law en o cemen
agencies.
On he o he hand, he public's legal cul u e s ill displays an ambi alen a i ude owa d co up ion. On he one hand, co up ion
is conside ed a common enemy; Howe e , on he o he hand, he p ac ices o g a , nepo ism, and abuse o powe a e s ill ega ded
as usual in some ci cles. This si ua ion ein o ces he a gumen ha e adica ing co up ion canno ely solely on a no ma i e-
posi i is ic app oach bu equi es a ans o ma ion o he legal sys em capable o changing he pa adigm, beha io , and mo ali y o
bo h o icials and he public (Guna o e al., 2022).
Thus, he ac ual s a e o an i-co up ion law en o cemen in Indonesia e lec s a gap be ween ideal legal no ms and ac ual legal
p ac ice. Regula ions and ins i u ions a e in place, bu hei e ec i eness alls sho o expec a ions. This si ua ion highligh s he
need o a new pa adigm in comba ing co up ion, one ha emphasizes a p og essi e legal app oach cen e ed on subs an i e jus ice,
mo al cou age, and he in e es s o he people.
3.2 P og essi e Legal Pa adigm in he Con ex o An i-Co up ion Law En o cemen
The p og essi e legal pa adigm is a legal concep de eloped by Sa jip o Raha djo as a c i ique o he dominance o posi i is
law, which has long been he p ima y ounda ion o law en o cemen p ac ices in Indonesia (Hamid & Rusmawan, 2023).
P og essi e law belie es ha law should no be apped wi hin igid no ma i e ex s, bu ins ead should be used as a means o
achie e g ea e goals, namely, subs an i e jus ice, humani y, and he wel a e o he people (Nu ohim, 2025). F om his pe spec i e,
law is iewed as a dynamic ins umen ha cons an ly e ol es in esponse o socie al changes, no simply a o mal ule ha limi s
he ac ions o law en o cemen o icials.
In he con ex o an i-co up ion law en o cemen in Indonesia, he p og essi e legal pa adigm p esen s a i al al e na i e o
add ess he sho comings o he posi i is legal app oach. Co up ion e adica ion has o en been hampe ed by p ocedu alism ha
o e emphasizes o mal aspec s, c ea ing he imp ession ha he legal p ocess is me ely an adminis a i e ou ine wi hou p o iding
a eal de e en e ec (Wan u & Puluhulawa, 2023). The p og essi e pa adigm ins ead emphasizes he cou age o law en o cemen
o make b eak h oughs, whe he in in e p e ing laws, imposing sanc ions, o building a sys em ha be e suppo s he public in e es .
The applica ion o p og essi e legal p inciples is e iden in se e al judicial p ac ices ha p io i ize subs an i e jus ice o e
o mal ce ain y. Fo example, cou decisions in co up ion cases inc ease penal ies o pe pe a o s o co up ion, ci ing he abuse
o public o ice, he magni ude o s a e losses, and he esul ing social impac (Musya a e al., 2023). This app oach demons a es
he judges' cou age o in e p e legal no ms con ex ually and mo ally, in acco dance wi h he alues o jus ice p e alen in socie y.
Fu he mo e, p og essi e law demands ac i e public pa icipa ion in he co up ion e adica ion p ocess. Law en o cemen is
no solely he esponsibili y o o mal ins i u ions bu also a collec i e mo emen suppo ed by public awa eness. This aligns wi h
he spi i o p og essi e law, which p io i izes he people (Ku niawan, 2025). By p io i izing openness, anspa ency, and
accoun abili y, he p og essi e pa adigm encou ages syne gy be ween law en o cemen , he go e nmen , and ci il socie y o c ea e
a clean and in eg a ed legal sys em.
The p og essi e legal pa adigm also emphasizes he impo ance o mo ali y in legal p ac ice. E adica ing co up ion canno be
iewed solely as a legal issue, bu also as a ma e o na ional e hics and mo ali y. The e o e, an i-co up ion law en o cemen mus
be di ec ed a building in eg i y, ins illing an an i-co up ion cul u e, and encou aging beha io al change a bo h he indi idual and
ins i u ional le els (Faha uddin & Hakim, 2023). In his ega d, p og essi e law exis s no me ely as a no ma i e ool, bu as an
ins umen o social ans o ma ion.
Wi h i s adap i e, esponsi e, and humanis ic cha ac e is ics, he p og essi e legal pa adigm o e s a new amewo k o
e adica ing co up ion. I ejec s igid adhe ence o egula o y ex s while upholding he p inciple o subs an i e jus ice. The
applica ion o his pa adigm is expec ed o add ess he weaknesses o law en o cemen , which has ended o be o malis ic, while
also p o iding a new di ec ion o ans o ming he na ional legal sys em owa d one ha is mo e jus , mo al, and p o-people.
Thus, p og essi e law in he con ex o an i-co up ion law en o cemen se es no only as a c i ique o legal posi i ism bu
also as a conc e e s a egy o s eng hen he e ec i eness, legi imacy, and in eg i y o co up ion e adica ion in Indonesia. This
pa adigm opens up space o law en o cemen o be mo e c ea i e, bold, and isiona y in en o cing he law, so ha e o s o
e adica e co up ion can genuinely mee he public's expec a ions o jus ice.

3.3 P og essi e Law as a T ans o ma ion S a egy
P og essi e law is no me ely a no ma i e concep in legal science. S ill, i can also be in e p e ed as a ans o ma ional s a egy
ha se es o imp o e he law en o cemen sys em as a whole. This concep , in oduced by Sa jip o Raha djo, se es as a c i ique
o he posi i is pa adigm ha has domina ed legal p ac ice in Indonesia. Legal posi i ism ends o place law solely wi hin no ma i e
and p ocedu al ex s, o en ailing o add ess he need o subs an i e jus ice wi hin socie y (Nu din & Tu die , 2021). The e o e,
p og essi e law eme ged o encou age changes in pe spec i es, mindse s, and legal p ac ices ha a e mo e adap i e, humanis ic,
and esponsi e o he needs o he people.
As a ans o ma ional s a egy, p og essi e law emphasizes he impo ance o law en o cemen o ice s' cou age o o e come
o malis ic cons ain s. In he con ex o e adica ing co up ion, his s a egy plays a c ucial ole because co up ion is an
ex ao dina y c ime ha canno be elimina ed h ough con en ional means. Co up ion has complex s uc u al, cul u al, and poli ical
dimensions, necessi a ing a mo e comp ehensi e and isiona y app oach o law en o cemen (Muhammad & Mu yan o, 2023).
Based on p og essi e law, law en o cemen is encou aged o make b eak h oughs, bo h h ough con ex ual legal in e p e a ion and
upholding mo al p inciples in sen encing, while also ha ing he cou age o ake ac ion agains any pe pe a o wi hou
disc imina ion. This s a egy aims o es o e he digni y o he law as an ins umen o jus ice and s eng hen public us , which he
weak in eg i y o law en o cemen agencies has o en e oded.
The ans o ma ion o e ed by p og essi e law ex ends beyond ins i u ional aspec s o legal cul u e. E adica ion o co up ion
will no be success ul i i elies solely on he wo k o o mal ins i u ions wi hou engaging he collec i e consciousness o socie y.
The p og essi e pa adigm emphasizes ha he people a e he p ima y ocus o law; he e o e, public pa icipa ion mus be expanded
h ough o e sigh mechanisms, epo ing, and ac i e in ol emen in an i-co up ion social mo emen s (Sembi ing, 2025). By
p io i izing openness, anspa ency, and accoun abili y, p og essi e law os e s collabo a ion among law en o cemen o icials, he
go e nmen , and ci il socie y, making co up ion e adica ion s a egies mo e e ec i e and deeply oo ed in public consciousness.
In addi ion o ins i u ional aspec s and legal cul u e, he p og essi e legal ans o ma ion s a egy also encompasses egula o y
e o m. Exis ing egula ions ha e emphasized a ep essi e app oach, ocusing on c iminaliza ion, whe eas e adica ing co up ion
equi es a combina ion o en o cemen and p e en ion. Th ough a p og essi e legal pe spec i e, egula ions can be di ec ed no only
o punish pe pe a o s bu also o s eng hen mechanisms o eco e ing s a e losses, encou age ea ly an i-co up ion educa ion, and
build a mo e anspa en bu eauc a ic sys em ee om con lic s o in e es (Yuzyuk e al., 2024). Thus, egula ions a e iewed no
simply as a collec ion o igid no ms, bu as a dynamic ins umen o s eng hening good go e nance and a clean legal sys em.
The ans o ma ion o e ed by p og essi e law also places a s ong emphasis on mo ali y. Sa jip o Raha djo emphasized ha
p og essi e law canno be sepa a ed om mo al and humani a ian alues. The e o e, e adica ing co up ion mus be unde s ood as
a na ional mo al mo emen , no me ely as a mechanis ic legal e o (Yusni a, 2025). Law en o cemen o ice s a e expec ed o
ca y ou hei du ies no simply based on s a u o y manda es bu also be d i en by an e hical awa eness ha co up ion is a be ayal
o social jus ice and na ional in eg i y. This mo al ans o ma ion is a he hea o p og essi e law, as i guides he law beyond me e
o mali y and becomes a ool o libe a ion and imp o emen o social li e (Handayani & Sa agih, 2025b).
Wi h i s esponsi e, adap i e, humanis ic, and mo alis ic cha ac e is ics, p og essi e law p o ides a s ong ounda ion o a
s a egy o ans o ming an i-co up ion law en o cemen in Indonesia. I se es no only as a heo e ical c i ique o he weaknesses
o he posi i is pa adigm, bu also as a p ac ical guide o building a mo e jus , e ec i e, and in eg a ed legal sys em. By combining
egula o y change, ins i u ional s eng hening, public pa icipa ion, and mo al ans o ma ion, he p og essi e legal pa adigm is
expec ed o lead Indonesia o a legal sys em ha no only en o ces he ules bu also uly deli e s subs an i e jus ice o he people.
3.4 Implica ions
The implica ions o implemen ing a p og essi e legal pa adigm o an i-co up ion law en o cemen in Indonesia a e a -

as a s a ic ex , bu a he as a dynamic ins umen ha add esses he complex p oblem o co up ion oo ed in he na ion's social,
economic, and poli ical s uc u es.
F om an ins i u ional pe spec i e, he implemen a ion o p og essi e law equi es he cou age o law en o cemen ins i u ions

Cou age o a oid ge ing caugh up in p ocedu al o mali ies is key o a mo e e ec i e co up ion e adica ion p ocess. This

Ano he signi ican implica ion is he o ma ion o a new legal cul u e in socie y. By p io i izing subs an i e jus ice,

In academic discou se, he applica ion o p og essi e law in he con ex o e adica ing co up ion has also gi en ise o deba e
