Abstract :
Train is defined as a means of transportation in the form of vehicles
with the power of movement, either walking alone or coupled with
other vehicles, which will or are moving on the rails. Therefore
trains can only move / walk on appropriate railroad tracks / networks
with its designation, this has become its superiority because it is not interrupted
with other traffic, but on the other hand it makes trains to be
inflexible transportation because the network is limited. At the crossing
a railway line has a controversial problem. On one side,
the community needs shorter road access. However, on the other hand,
the crossing is also a source of disaster.
To find out how criminal liability is for
an accident that caused the death of a person at a level crossing
railroad tracks that do not have bars, and what criminal sanctions are against the perpetrators
a criminal offense that causes the death of a person at a railroad crossing
trains that do not have bars.
Based on the results of research can be understood if proven indeed
actually made a mistake that resulted in an accident and
causing casualties, PT. KAI can be responsible for the incident
in case of a traffic accident at a railroad crossing, as long as a third party can
prove wrong with a valid and complete proof. And the driver
criminal liability can be held if there is a good mistake
intentional or negligent. Criminal sanctions against perpetrators of a criminal offense
cause the death of people at the level crossing of railroad tracks that are not
has a bar that is basically compensation and insuring for losses
and may also be subject to imprisonment. Special regulations are needed
which strictly regulates criminal provisions concerning railroad accidents
at this level crossing so that the balance between the interests of protection
law against PT. KAI as the organizer of railways and facilities
legal protection for the community can be balanced. For sanctions
criminal liability for criminal liability in an accident crossed
a railway line should renew Law Number 23
2007 and regulations relating to railways to be more on
emphasized again and the government made its own criminal sanctions against accidents
which occurs at the level crossing preformance protecting the legal interests
the community and railroad interests organized by PT. KAI
