The Criminal Acts Of Using Forged Letters In The Sale And Purchase Of Land In The Jurisdiction Of The Jambi Regional Police From The Perspective Of Criminal Law And Islamic Law

Abstrak

This research aims to examine the criminal act of using forged documents in land sale and purchase transactions within the jurisdiction of the Jambi Regional Police (Polda Jambi). This study is categorized as empirical legal research employing a qualitative approach, which seeks to explain issues by thoroughly and comprehensively examining the conditions and situations under investigation. The data collection methods used in this research include observation, interviews, and documentation. The results of the study indicate that, from the perspectives of criminal law and Islamic law, document forgery is a prohibited act because it violates the principle of justice and harms the property rights of others. Both legal systems share the same objectives, namely to provide a deterrent effect and legal protection, although they differ in their systems and forms of sanctions. The common modus operandi employed by perpetrators involves the use of land ownership documents that are inconsistent between physical data and juridical data, such as discrepancies in location, manipulation of land boundaries and area, and shifting of territorial coordinates.Preventive efforts focus on early prevention through education, data integration, and strengthening verification systems, thereby making forgery practices increasingly difficult for perpetrators to carry out. Meanwhile, repressive efforts focus on law enforcement actions against offenders, the application of strict criminal sanctions, and inter-agency coordination to strengthen the judicial process.
