The results of the study obtained law enforcement factors seen from pollution actions, environmental damage, non-compliance, significant negative impacts on the environment and health and also environmental criminal sanctions in the form of administrative fines such as warnings to revocation of business permits and severe criminal sanctions against perpetrators. Enforcement of environmental criminal law against perpetrators of pollution has an important influence in efforts to protect the environment and prevent further damage. The deterrent effect provided by criminal sanctions is expected to increase awareness and responsibility of perpetrators towards the environment. In addition, criminal law enforcement also helps ensure that perpetrators are responsible for their actions and recover the losses that have been caused.References
