Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of coordination between investigators and public prosecutors in handling special criminal offenses within the jurisdiction of the South Sulawesi Regional Police and to identify the factors influencing the effectiveness of such coordination. This study employs an empirical legal research method (socio-legal research) with an empirical juridical approach that emphasizes the application of law in practice (law in action). Data were collected through interviews, questionnaires, and documentary studies involving investigators, public prosecutors, and relevant parties engaged in the handling of special criminal cases. The findings indicate that coordination between investigators and public prosecutors in handling special criminal offenses has not yet been effective. Based on Soerjono Soekanto’s five factors of law enforcement effectiveness, namely legal substance, law enforcement officers, facilities and infrastructure, society, and culture, all factors were categorized as less effective. The societal factor constituted the greatest obstacle, with a percentage of 58.82%, followed by facilities and infrastructure at 56.48%, legal substance at 54.11%, law enforcement officers at 52.94%, and cultural factors at 51.77%. These findings demonstrate that low levels of public legal awareness and participation, inadequate supporting facilities, problems concerning legal substance and regulations, suboptimal inter-agency coordination among law enforcement institutions, and an unsupportive legal culture continue to hinder effective coordination between investigators and public prosecutors. This study recommends harmonizing legal regulations, strengthening inter-agency coordination mechanisms, improving facilities and infrastructure, enhancing public legal awareness, and fostering a supportive legal culture to establish a more effective, efficient, and integrated criminal justice system.
