INTRODUCTION
Football is a sport that is widely enjoyed by people from various circles regardless of caste and The high response from the public can be seen in every match, whether watched on television, the internet, or in the stadium.
Indonesia is a country that has a high interest in the field of football.
This sport often involves physical contact between players, whether intentional or not.
Collisions between players that cause violent crimes that result in injuries, both minor and serious or even death (Husin, 2.
In an effort to control players interacting physically with each other, there are rules known as the "Rule of the Game".
This rule aims to ensure that players from both teams do not carelessly commit acts of violence or violence, whether intentional or not, against teammates or opponents (Saputra, 2.
Violence in football has become a serious concern for the All Indonesia Football Association (PSSI) and the national legal system.
Football players are often involved in cases of violence that result in criminal acts.
A criminal act is an act that is prohibited by law and is punishable by punishment, where the definition of an act here is in addition to an active act, namely doing something that is actually prohibited by law and a passive act, namely not doing something that is actually required by law (Afnita, 2.
Criminal acts refer to acts that are prohibited by law and can be subject to certain criminal sanctions for violators.
To be categorized as a criminal act, an act must have elements that meet the requirements of a criminal Based on the Criminal Code (KUHP), one of the crimes against the body is called abuse.
Abuse is an act of violence that results in physical impacts on a person (Haris, 2.
The act of abuse has elements such as malicious intent, real action, desired physical consequences, pain or injury to the body, and impacts that are the sole purpose (Pramudana, 2.
One example of a case that can be taken is the beating that occurred in 2009 between two soccer players in a match between Persis Solo and Gresik United.
After the match, the police arrested two players involved in the beating, but their detention was later suspended.
The case was then taken to court for further proceedings.
There are many different opinions on this issue.
The state argues that PSSI has the authority to handle the case, but PSSI argues that it is not its authority (Jaya, 2.
Violence between players in a soccer match is a criminal act of assault as regulated in Articles 351-355 of the Criminal Code.
The crime of assault is included in the category of Ordinary Crimes, where reporting is not a requirement for making criminal charges.
One form of rational effort is to apply criminal law .
pplication of criminal la.
through criminal law This effort is then called countermeasures through criminal means .
(Mhd Teguh Syuhada Lubis, 2.
Criminal law enforcement is used as a basis for resolving various anarchic actions in soccer.
This is not only limited to the method of law enforcement, but must also pay attention to the values of justice that contain the rights and obligations of legal subjects (Anggit Bisma, 2.
The values of justice are used as the basis for creating wise and civilized soccer players.
Law enforcers must also provide legal clarity to the public regarding the regulations made because the purpose is made for the benefit of the community itself in order to create an orderly society.
Therefore, firm action must be taken by the police to minimize and even prevent incidents like this from happening.
The police have an important role in prosecuting the perpetrators of riots and also providing legal protection for victims of the impact of violence that occurs in soccer champions (Ramadhan & Ruslie, 2.
The problem of criminal acts of abuse in soccer matches in Indonesia is a concern for the public and government.
This study aims to analyze the role of law in dealing with violence in soccer games, with a focus on the perspective of regulation and enforcement.
Thus, this article will review the challenges faced in maintaining the integrity of the sport and the safety of players, as well as the efforts made by various parties, including sports regulatory authorities, soccer clubs, and law enforcement Through a comprehensive approach, this article aims to provide an understanding of how the law can be used as an effective tool in dealing with violence in soccer games.
Thus, it is hoped that it can be identified and respected.
