The Deviant Behavior of The Investigators in Using of Forced Efforts as Learned and Maintained Behavior

The author conducts research especially on the use and abuse of forced effort by investigators. This research was done qualitatively for twelve years through respondents, Polri officials, both of those who were still in service or not, those who had dealt with Polri investigators as suspects in a criminal case, and University students from the Faculty of Law in Semarang. The use of forced efforts and even the abuse can run continuously because the investigators have studied it and defended it. This can occur due to several reasons, including lack of professionalism of investigators and infrastructure and funds to carry out investigations in criminal cases; in using the investigator forced efforts without paying any attention to the consequences or the negative side of the use of it for others and also in the end for themselves; they are also no longer able to control the consequences of their actions which can be harmful and unpleasant; what they have done before, in the form of this deviant behavior, has also been strengthened to be done again through the ease of their work activities and the various benefits that can be obtained through the use and abused of such forced efforts. This is following the Differential Enforcement theory submitted by Burgess and Akers. The essence of the basic understanding of this theory can be said to continue the essence of Sutherland's basic understanding of the theory of Differential Association regarding learning about crime.
