EFFECTIVENESS OF LAW ENFORCEMENT AGAINST MOTOR VEHICLE THEFT (CURANMOR) IN THE JURISDICTION OF THE BADUNG RESORT POLICE

Abstract

The crime of theft arises from disparities in the ownership of essential goods; a lack of necessities and a lack of ownership tend to drive individuals toward deviant behavior (theft). Theft can be committed in various ways, ranging from traditional methods to modern techniques involving sophisticated tools and cunning tactics. Such incidents are widespread and often evade legal prosecution. Theft often hinges on timing, with perpetrators carefully selecting the opportune moment to carry out their actions; notably, incidents of theft are particularly frequent during the night. Regarding the facts of theft, there has been a year-on-year decline in motor vehicle theft cases in Badung Regency. This decrease indicates the effectiveness of police law enforcement efforts, achieved through both restorative justice mechanisms and the court system. There are two categories of obstacles: a. Internal obstacles, and b. External obstacles.
