ABSTRACT

In criminal law, offenses are divided into two, namely culpa (negligence) and dolus (intentional) offenses. The number of cases of death resulting from the installation of electrified rat traps that have occurred recently is due to the farmers' lack of awareness of the risks that can occur. This is a criminal act of negligence, in which the perpetrator causes the loss of life of another person. The provisions regarding the criminal offense of negligence that causes death are regulated in Article 359 of the Criminal Code. The installation of electric current that results in the loss of life of another person can be classified as a criminal act of negligence, where due to negligence the perpetrator electrified his rice field fence with high-voltage electric current resulting in the death of a person.  Based on this background, the author proposes the formulation of the problem, namely the first is how the regulation of criminal acts of negligence according to the Criminal Code ?.
