Legal Politics of Corruption Crimes Viewed From the Perspective of Administrative Law

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the legal politics of corruption crimes from the perspective of administrative law. It employs a normative approach to examine relevant legal texts and the changes occurring over time. A deductive analytical method is used by applying legal principles and doctrines related to corruption crimes, utilizing the lens of administrative law, and incorporating minor premises in the form of existing legal facts or events. The main findings of this study reveal that the legal politics of corruption crimes, viewed from the perspective of administrative law, encompass three aspects: philosophical, juridical, and sociological. Philosophically, corruption must be combated to uphold justice, public interest, and morality in public administration. Sociologically, corruption arises from social interactions and disparities within society and power structures. Legal politics should establish systems that minimize opportunities for corruption. Juridically, in the context of administrative law, corruption is regulated under positive law, and law enforcement must include criminal sanctions as well as efforts to recover state losses.
