Theft of charity boxes is still rife, and this action has a major impact on the comfort of the local community because charity box funds are funds for the benefit of religious people. The present study aims to elaborate criminal law enforcement against the theft of charity boxes that often occurs in various mosques in several regions in Indonesia. The present research uses discourse analysis as method of the study in elaborating issues concerning criminal law enforcement against charity box theft cases. This study concludes that there are two stages in criminal law enforcement of charity box theft cases. The first stage of criminal law enforcement is the enforcement of criminal law in abstracto or the formulation stage of the criminal law which is then stated in the legislation. The second stage is criminal law enforcement in concreto where this stage consists of the implementation stage (investigation) and the stage of law implementation by law enforcement officials.
