The crime of theft is a form of crime against property that still frequently occurs in society and has the potential to disrupt and disrupt the sense of security. In the Indonesian criminal law system, the crime of theft is regulated in the Criminal Code (KUHP), specifically in Articles 362 to 367. This study aims to determine and analyze the provisions of the crime of theft in the Criminal Code and how criminal sanctions are applied to criminal acts. The research method used is normative legal research with a regulatory approach and a contextual approach. The data used are primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials obtained through literature studies. The research results show that the Criminal Code systematically regulates the crime of theft, ranging from basic theft, aggravated theft, theft with violence, to theft within the family, with varying penalties depending on the nature and severity of the offense. The application of criminal sanctions to perpetrators of theft in judicial practice is based on the fulfillment of the elements of the offense and the judge's consideration of the defendant's aggravating and mitigating circumstances. Therefore, it can be concluded that the regulation and application of criminal sanctions for the crime of theft in the Criminal Code aim to provide a deterrent effect, protect property rights, and maintain order and justice in society.
