LEGAL PROTECTION OF THE SUSPECTS TO NOT EXPERIENCE VIOLENCE IN INVESTIGATION PROCESS

A suspect is someone who because of his actions or circumstances, based on initial evidence, should be suspected of being the perpetrator of a crime. Based on this explanation, the suspect is still suspected of being the perpetrator of a crime, which is not certain unless he has obtained permanent legal force. This is in line with a fundamental principle known as the presumption of innocence which is stated in the general elucidation of the Criminal Procedure Code and Law Number 48 of 2009 concerning Judicial Power. Constitutional guarantees for human rights, especially suspects, are very important to protect every citizens basic rights, which means that every ruler in the state should not act arbitrarily towards its citizens. The form of protection for the suspects rights has been outlined in the Criminal Procedure Code (KUHAP). In general, the rights of suspects are regulated in Article 50 to Article 68 of the Criminal Procedure Code. This research is intended to determine the legal protection of suspects rights not to be subjected to violence in the investigation process and forms of violation of suspects rights in the investigation process.
