Indonesia, which is being held in the area of criminal law reform, can’t be
separated from the issue of the death penalty. Of course this will take some effects
in the context of the new Criminal Code (KUHP) formation that made by Indonesian
people themselves who have long aspired. In addition, the increasing number of
death penalty verdict handed down against criminals make the author is interested to
assess the existence of death penalty sanctions, why the death penalty is still listed
in the criminal code and also in the outside, even in the draft of Criminal Code.
Based on normative legal research to many literatures, include the Criminal Code,
the outside of the Criminal Code and also the draft of Criminal Code, that analyzed
qualitatively, it can be conclude that Indonesian government through the law political
support the death penalty.
