The purpose of the thesis entitled LEGAL PROTECTION AGAINST WITNESS
REPORTING CRIMINAL ACTION BY LPSK IN YOGYAKARTA to find out whether
the form of legal protection provided by LPSK to reporting witnesses in narcotics
crimes and to find out in proving protection to reporting witnesses whether there
are obstacles when carrying out their duties and authority to provide protection, as
regulated in Law No. 31 of 2014 concerning amendments to Law No. 13 of 2006
concerning the protection of witnesses and victims. Providing protection for the
reporting witness must be considered more deeply so that the duties and authorities
of the LPSK can run well and the reporting witness does not feel fear due to the
threats given. Narcotics cases must be carried out properly so that law enforcement
authorities must further eradicate and no longer people who abuse narcotics for
their own interests to feel health.
