The Role of Blockchain Technology in Improving Data Security and Integrity in the Law Enforcement Process of Corruption Crimes

Corruption is a major problem affecting social, economic, and political stability in many countries. Ensuring the security and integrity of evidence in corruption cases is a key challenge in law enforcement. Blockchain technology can help by providing a transparent and publicly verifiable way to record transactions to increase transparency in law enforcement. This research examines how blockchain can improve data security in corruption cases and boost public trust in the legal process. The research used a qualitative approach with normative-descriptive analysis. It found that blockchain technology can improve data security in corruption law enforcement. Blockchain provides a secure, decentralized way to store transaction data, making it hard to manipulate without authority to help reduce power abuse and hidden corruption. Implementing blockchain technology can boost public trust in the legal process by ensuring the integrity of evidence in corruption cases. Using blockchain to record digital evidence, such as documents and financial transactions, ensures that the data cannot be manipulated or altered. It gives the public confidence that the evidence in corruption cases is valid and trustworthy.
