Abstract

This study aims to analyze law enforcement for the crime of trading endangered species on social media based on Decision Number 217/Pid.B/LH/2023/PN.Tjk. This case involves a defendant who was charged with trading in protected animals in a living condition. The research method uses a normative and empirical legal approach, with data collection techniques through interviews and literature studies. Data is processed through a selection, classification, and compilation process, then analyzed qualitatively using the inductive method. The results of the study show that law enforcement is carried out in three stages: formulation, application, and execution. The main obstacles come from law enforcement factors, facilities and infrastructure, and lack of public awareness.
