The Indonesian Survey Institute (LSI) research shows that more Indonesian citizens rated the condition of law enforcement in the country as poor in October 2023.

36.1% of respondents chose "poor." This breaks down to 10.4% selecting "very poor" and 25.7% selecting "poor."

Meanwhile, 28.1% of respondents rated it as good. This breaks down to 2.6% selecting "very good" and 25.5% selecting "good."

29.1% of respondents answered "fair," while 6.7% answered "don't know/didn't answer" (TT/TJ).

"More people rated the general state of law enforcement as poor/very poor (36.1%) than good/very good (28.1%), while 29.1% rated it as fair, and 6.7% did not answer," wrote the LSI in its report.

The poor state of law enforcement was also emphasized by the Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal, and Security Affairs, Mahfud MD. He stated that law enforcement officials in Indonesia are corrupt and have become breeding grounds for mafia practices and collusion.

Citing *Kompas.com*, Mahfud's statement was made when he was asked about his efforts for legal reform if elected vice president. Mahfud is the prospective vice presidential candidate (cawapres) running alongside Ganjar Pranowo, the prospective presidential candidate (capres).

"In our country, law enforcement officials are corrupt. Law enforcement officials include prosecutors, judges, police, and lawyers. Here, mafia activities and collusion often occur," said Mahfud in the Blok M area, Jakarta, on Monday (23/10/2023).

Mahfud added that violations of the law, corruption, and collusion are occurring at almost all levels currently. Law enforcement officials themselves are often involved in the buying and selling of influence and conflicts of interest in the government.

He explained that there are three main aspects of the law that must be ensured to be correct: regulations, officials, and the culture or behavior of society.

The former Chief Justice of the Constitutional Court believes that the current laws are sufficiently good, although some improvements are still needed. These improvements can be made gradually.

The LSI survey involved 1,229 respondents aged 17 years and older or who are married and own a telephone/cellular phone, approximately 83% of the total national population.

The sample was taken using a random digit dialing (RDD) technique, validated, and screened.

Data collection was conducted from October 16-18, 2023, using telephone interview methods. This survey has a margin of error of approximately 2.9% and a 95% confidence level, assuming simple random sampling.
