YOGYAKARTA - Often heard by the crime scene, whether it's on social media, news, or in the environment around us, then what does the crime scene mean?

According to a journal from UNNES quoted by VOI, the efforts that investigators can take to obtain information, instructions, or evidence regarding the crime that occurred were by processing the crime scene or crime scene.

Indonesia as a state of law has realized many laws and regulations. One of the laws and regulations is Law no. 8 of 1981 concerning the Criminal Procedure Code (KUHAP).

The Criminal Procedure Code contains a series of rule laws that contain procedures/events in case of a crime. In the procedure/event it must be through the implementation of evidence. In collecting the means of proving a crime, the police have a really important role in dismantling a case.

This is because ex-officio of the police is the investigator on duty and has the authority to carry out an investigation and collect evidence to a moment or incident that is suspected to have a criminal act.

Along with the advanced era, criminals are also increasingly good at carrying out criminal acts. Criminal actors are increasingly sophisticated in disguising or eliminating evidence.

Paying attention to this situation will be difficult to obtain the evidence needed, and conventional investigation methods that only rely on the confession of the suspect/un ideal witness if applied at this time, because it is possible that the suspect who claims to be the real perpetrator or the witness who claims to not say the truth is because they are forced or under threat.

If that happens, there has been a deviation from the purpose of criminal procedural regulations, and the investigator's method is the most ideal to find and find out whether a crime has occurred at a moment that is suspected to be a criminal act, namely the method of processing the crime scene.
