PROFESIONALISME POLRI DALAM PENERAPAN WEWENANG DISKRESI DALAM KASUS TINDAK PIDANA PENCURIAN (STUDI KASUS PENCURIAN KAKAO, PENCURIAN BIJI KAPUK, DAN PENCURIAN SEMANGKA)
ABSTRAK: Police discretion by
definition is the power to make decisions of policy and practice. Police have
the choice to enforce certain laws and how they will be enforced. Discretion is
bounded by norms (professional nor ms, community norms, legal norms, moral
norms). Officers will exercise discretion in situations where the facts or
people involved don not necessarily line up with the law. Discretion is exercised far more in speeding
cases, vandalism, domestic violence or juvenile cases rather than homicide,
rape case, thievery, robbery. Officers often feel minor offenses are more about
educating citizens, whereas serious offenders deserve the full punishment of
the law. If a police officer uses his/her discretionary power correctly, not
only will it help the police officer in their situation, it will help the general
community as well.
