Bantuan Hukum bagi Keluarga Korban Pembunuhan dalam Perspektif Keadilan Bermartabat

Abstract

In this community service activity, the central issue is that there is a dominant tendency within the enforced Criminal Procedure Code (CPC) to prioritize respecting and protecting the rights of suspects or defendants more than protecting and respecting the rights of victims, including the rights of the victim's family. One constitutional right which must be equally respected in every criminal process by the CPC is the right to legal aid. The purpose of this activity, as seen in this paper, is that through assistance techniques by academics in the field of law for the families of victims of criminal acts, academics have participated in fulfilling the right to legal assistance for victims, especially for the families of victims in a criminal murder incident. These results are in line with the science of law called Dignified Justice. A legal vacuum-filling scheme (rechtsvacuum) is formed in the CPC through community service. In this case, the right to legal aid as a constitutional right of victims of murder is fulfilled.
