Criminal Policy of the Corporate Criminal Acts of Broadcasting Media: A Critical Analysis

Introduction

Broadcasting is a vital activity that plays a significant role in shaping public opinion and influencing social attitudes. Through reporting, broadcasting institutions or media corporations seek to foster a democratic, just, and prosperous community attitude. However, if not managed properly, this activity can create a negative impact, including a criminogen factor that threatens social order and state security stability. Therefore, there needs to be a rational approach in dealing with this problem, one of which is through criminal policies.

In this context, the question arises about whether the current criminal policy is sufficient to deal with the potential of criminal acts in the broadcasting world. In addition, it is also important to explore how future criminal policy formulations can be more effective in tackling broadcasting criminal acts. This study aims to provide a critical analysis of the current criminal policy and its limitations in addressing corporate criminal acts of broadcasting media.

The Need for Effective Criminal Policy

The current criminal policy governing broadcasting criminal acts in Indonesia is Law No. 32 of 2002 concerning Broadcasting. Although this law already exists, the policies resulting from the regulation still have several weaknesses. Therefore, there is a need for a more optimal criminal policy formulation to overcome the development of criminal acts in broadcasting.

An effective criminal policy should not only take action against violations that occur but also function as a prevention effort. Handling this problem must involve stakeholders from various sectors, including the government, the community, and broadcasting institutions themselves. This aims to create collective awareness about the importance of responsible information management.

Challenges in Ensuring Responsible Broadcasting

One of the challenges faced is how to ensure that the news carried out by the media corporation is not only right in terms of information but also ethical. For example, the spread of misleading news or hoaks can cause unrest in the community and cause instability. Therefore, the need for tighter regulations regarding the broadcast content, including sanctions for those who violate.

Furthermore, the preparation of future criminal policies must consider the rapid development of technology. With the existence of social media and other digital platforms, threats to information security are increasingly complex. Therefore, the existing policies must be flexible and adaptive to these developments, and be able to capture new forms of criminal acts that may arise.

The Role of Technology in Shaping Broadcasting Policy

The rapid development of technology has transformed the way broadcasting is conducted. Social media and other digital platforms have created new opportunities for broadcasting, but they have also introduced new challenges. The spread of misinformation and hoaks through social media has become a significant concern, and it is essential that broadcasting policies are adapted to address these issues.

In this context, the existing policies must be flexible and adaptive to these developments. They must be able to capture new forms of criminal acts that may arise, such as cybercrime and online harassment. Furthermore, the policies must also address the issue of fake news and misinformation, which can have serious consequences for individuals and communities.

The Importance of Stakeholder Engagement

Effective broadcasting policies require the engagement of stakeholders from various sectors, including the government, the community, and broadcasting institutions themselves. This aims to create collective awareness about the importance of responsible information management.

Stakeholder engagement is essential in ensuring that broadcasting policies are effective and relevant to the needs of the community. It allows for the sharing of knowledge and expertise, and it helps to build trust and confidence in the broadcasting industry.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the current criminal policy governing broadcasting criminal acts in Indonesia is insufficient to deal with the potential of criminal acts in the broadcasting world. Therefore, there is a need for a more optimal criminal policy formulation to overcome the development of criminal acts in broadcasting.

An effective criminal policy should not only take action against violations that occur but also function as a prevention effort. It must involve stakeholders from various sectors, including the government, the community, and broadcasting institutions themselves. This aims to create collective awareness about the importance of responsible information management.
