JAKARTA - The majority of respondents interviewed by the Charta Politica survey agency assessed that Polri's work was the best when compared to other law enforcement agencies.

According to the survey results broadcast in Jakarta, Monday, the National Police ranks at the top with the highest score. As many as 26.7 percent of the total 1,200 respondents or about 320 people considered the National Police to be the law enforcement agency with the best performance.

In second place, the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) received 25.6 percent of the respondents' votes or about 307 people. Then, the Constitutional Court received a good rating from 10.7 percent of respondents or 128 people.

Next in line is the Attorney General's Office (8.5 percent) and the Supreme Court (6.9 percent).

Executive Director of Charta Politica Indonesia Yunarto Wijaya said the survey results were an interesting finding because the National Police was superior to other law enforcement agencies.

"My hypothesis is why the National Police got better scores than the KPK. Because the KPK is not directly related to the general public," said Yunarto, quoted by Antara, Monday, December 20.

Meanwhile, the National Police at the Polsek, Polres, and Polda levels are in direct contact with the community, so that may be the reason the Police have received a good rating apart from a number of cases involving several Polri personnel.

In another explanation, Yunarto also showed that 50.6 percent of respondents felt that law enforcement in Indonesia was going well. However, 48.4 percent or almost 50 percent of respondents think that law enforcement in Indonesia is still poor.

If you look at the assessment figures from February 2020 to November 2021, the respondents' assessment of law enforcement in Indonesia tends to be stable at above 50 percent.

However, that assessment had dropped to 49.5 percent in the results of the Charta Politica survey in July 2021, then rose again to 50.6 percent in November 2021.

Meanwhile, the poor assessment of law enforcement in Indonesia has stabilized below 40 percent in the February 2020, May 2020, June 2020, July 2020, January 2021, February 2021, and March 2021 surveys.

The poor score on law enforcement in Indonesia began to rise to 47.3 percent in July 2021 and rose again to 48.4 percent in November 2021.
