The rapid development of information technology has had a significant impact on various aspects of life, including the emergence of various forms of increasingly complex cybercrime. Cybercrime includes various illegal acts carried out through the internet network including personal data theft, dissemination of hoax information, hacking, and digital-based financial crimes. In Indonesia, the Electronic Information and Transactions Law (UU ITE) serves as the main instrument in regulating and prosecuting cybercrimes. Criminal law plays an important role in imposing sanctions on cybercrime perpetrators and providing legal protection for the community. However, in its implementation, law enforcement against cybercrime faces various challenges, such as the weak capacity of law enforcement officers, limited regulations that are adaptive to technological developments, and jurisdictional issues in handling cross-border cybercrime. This study aims to analyze the role of criminal law in dealing with cybercrime through the Electronic Information and Transactions Law (UU ITE) and identify the challenges faced in the enforcement process. This study uses a normative research method with a statute approach and a case approach. The legislative approach examines various regulations governing cybercrime in Indonesia, particularly the Electronic Information and Transactions Law (UU ITE) and other related provisions. Meanwhile, the case study approach analyzes several resolved cybercrime cases in Indonesia to evaluate the practical effectiveness of criminal law enforcement. The findings of this research are expected to provide a more comprehensive understanding of criminal law effectiveness in addressing cybercrime, as well as offer recommendations for enhancing regulatory efficacy and law enforcement practices in Indonesia.
