Progressive Legal Approach to Modern Community Law Enforcement in Indonesia

Law is the rule of norms and sanctions made to regulate human behavior, maintain order and justice, and prevent chaos. Law functions to guarantee the existence of legal law in society. Influence does not mean identical. The Indonesian legal system is not the same as the Anglo-American. Law in Indonesia refers to the development of law in Indonesia. The Indonesian legal system is a system itself. A system built from the process of discovery, development, adaptation and even compromise of several existing systems or it can be said the Pancasila legal system. Usually, laws change due to changing elements in life. However, this does not mean that the law is always in a dependent position. Social changes caused by technological developments lead to modern life because modernization has penetrated traditional rural communities due to these technological advances.
