ABSTRACT
Keywords :
This study aims to find out the fulfillment of the right to justice when
people with disabilities commit criminal acts. The research method
used is empirical research by conducting sample withdrawal using
purposive sampling and data analysis using qualitative research
approaches. The results showed that the fulfillment of the rights of
persons with disabilities in the batucada police jurisdiction is less than
optimal even though the police have carried out their role as law
enforcement by carrying out the process of investigation and
investigation on a person with disabilities as a criminal perpetrator.
However, it has not been fully maximized in fulfilling the rights of
justice of persons with disabilities themselves because it can be seen
based on the data and information obtained that when persons with
disabilities face the law, in this case, is a criminal offender, the police
only focus on the use of regulations that are generally without being
supported by special regulations, in this case, is law No. 8 of 2016
concerning Persons with Disabilities which explains About the rights
of a disabled person. Police, especially investigators, can better
understand law number 8 of 2016 on persons with disabilities so that
in the process of examination in the police the right to justice of a
person with a disability can be more fulfilled as a whole.

Introduction
A. Background
Human society and law are three things that are closely related to each other, inhuman
social life interactions or reciprocal relationships between themselves and others and vice
versa. This is in line with what Aristotle put forward in one of the Delhi philosophies that
suggest that humans are(zoon political)interpreted by Western journalists as social beings
or social creatures.1 From this, it is clear that Human beings can live in an organized
society to achieve the common goal of needing social norms or rules that govern it.2
Indonesia as a legal state provides the right to fair recognition, guarantee, protection, and
legal certainty and equal treatment before the law"Equality Before the law", this becomes
an important principle in the guarantee of equality of degrees for everyone before the
law, one of who is a person with disabilities who is often the most vulnerable group in
social life or when faced with the law. The interrelationship of law, man, and society
according to Marcus Tullius Cicero, suggests that where there is a society there is a law
as a necessity to regulate the relationship between humans to be peaceful and
comfortable.3 The law requires balance, importance, order, justice, tranquility, happiness,
peace, and harmony for every human being.4 Article 1 Paragraph (5) of Law No.8/2016
specifies the protection of persons with disabilities in an effort made consciously to
protect, protect and strengthen the rights of persons with disabilities.5 State involvement
is also one of the characters of the phenomenon of conflict.6 Efforts that can be done on
this are to bring the legal decision closer to the sense of justice lived by the community so
that the implementation of the law further creates order in the community itself.7 More
important is that it is currently one of the most efficient steps in trying to.8 Quoting as
said by Fence M. Want in his Journal that the nature of justice is a matter of judgment
from one person to others, which is generally seen from those who receive treatment
