Values and Principles of Anti-Corruption Behavior in Indonesia

Abstract

Corruption is the misappropriation or embezzlement (of state or company money) for personal or other people's interests. Corruption in Indonesia has been entrenched in the past, before and after independence, in the Old Order era, New Order era, continuing until the Reformation era. The methodology used is to review several articles related to titles and book references in the library, then draw conclusions. Various efforts have been made to eradicate corruption, but the results are still far from what was expected. Several forms of corruption, such as bribes, gratuities, embezzlement of positions, extortion, etc. Indonesia itself has an anti-corruption agency called the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK). However, this corruption eradication institution only investigates corruption cases in the government sector and has not been able to suppress the large number of corruption cases in Indonesia. Weak laws in Indonesia are also one of the factors that cause rampant corruption cases in Indonesia. So the government must have a special strategy to deal with various kinds of corruption cases that occur in Indonesia, such as preventive, detective and repressive strategies.
