Implementation of The Law Against Fraud Crimes in E-Commerce-Based Electronic Transactions
Keywords:
Law Enforcement; Fraud; E-CommerceAbstract
Fraud is becoming increasingly prevalent with the times and technological advancements. Various laws and regulations have been enacted to address this issue, but it appears that these regulations have not been effective in addressing the increasing number of these crimes. This study aims to: first, identify law enforcement against e-commerce fraud; and second, analyze the obstacles in enforcing criminal law against e-commerce fraud. This study uses a normative juridical method through literature review by examining secondary data, such as laws and regulations, research results, scientific journals, and various related references. The results show that e-commerce fraud is essentially similar to conventional fraud, but differs in the evidence and means used because it involves electronic systems such as computers, the internet, and telecommunications devices. Therefore, law enforcement against this type of crime is still based on the Criminal Code (KUHP) and Law Number 19 of 2016 concerning Amendments to Law Number 11 of 2008 concerning Information and Electronic Transactions. In addition, law enforcement against fraudulent acts in electronic-based transactions still faces a number of obstacles influenced by five main factors, namely laws and regulations, law enforcement officers, infrastructure or supporting facilities, community factors, and cultural factors.
