Abstract
Means of transport play an important role in
facilitating the development of cities and regions. Despite this, traffic
conditions in Indonesia are still poor, with accidents often caused by driver
negligence. This article reviews criminal liability for drivers who cause death
in traffic accidents in the Jurisdiction of Polres Langkat. This study uses
descriptive normative legal methods to analyze primary and secondary legal
sources related to criminal liability, as well as identify obstacles in law
enforcement. It was found that criminal liability against negligent drivers is
regulated in Article 359 of the Criminal Code and Law Number 22 of 2009
concerning Road Traffic and Transportation. Despite this, the Langkat Regional
Police faced obstacles in law enforcement, including a lack of resources and a
lack of cooperation from the community. Preventive and repressive efforts have
been made, but have not achieved maximum results. Community support and the
application of appropriate methods are needed to improve the effectiveness of
law enforcement in cases of negligence of vehicle drivers leading to death.
