yang bersifat tidak dapat dikurangi dalam keadaan apapun. Oleh karena itu
penerapannya harus memperhatikan hak asasi manusia terpidana. Pengaturan
pidana mati di Indonesia terdapat di dalam perundang-undangan KUHP maupun
diluar KUHP. Menurut data statistik dan hipotesis beberapa pakar kriminologi,
praktik pidana mati di Indonesia tidak terbukti memberikan efek jera untuk
mengurangi angka kriminalitas. Selain tidak memberikan efek jera, pidana mati juga
melanggar hak hidup terpidana./ criminal conviction is the most important part of the criminal

application must pay attention to the human rights of the convicted person. The
regulation of capital punishment in Indonesia is contained in the Criminal Code and
outside the Criminal Code according to statistics and criminology experts, the
practice of capital punishment in Indonesia has not been proven to provide a
deterrent effect to reduce crime rates, in addition to not providing a deterrent effect,
