Abstract

The impacts of mining activities that do not pay attention to the environment are numerous, and those who feel the consequences are not the miners, but rather local communities. The purpose of this study is to analyze corporate criminal liability for mining crimes in Indonesia. The research method used is a normative juridical approach. Data collection used library research. Qualitative analysis was employed. The results indicate that criminal law policy in addressing crimes in the mining sector emphasizes corporate responsibility, including the types of criminal sanctions imposed and the actions taken, so that the criminal provisions in the Mineral and Coal Mining Law can function as a whole. The concept of policy reform regarding mining crimes provides a strong basis for law enforcement officials in making appropriate decisions. The liability of companies involved in various forms of mining crimes is regulated in the Mineral and Coal Mining Law, particularly in Articles 151, 158, 159, 160, 161B, and 164.
