PENGOPTIMALAN LABORATORIUM FORENSIK UNTUK MENDUKUNG PEMERIKSAAN BARANG BUKTI DALAM RANGKA PENEGAKAN HUKUM TERHADAP TINDAK PIDANA KEIMIGRASIAN

Abstract

The enforcement of immigration law, particularly concerning the falsification of immigration documents, requires a comprehensive and structured approach to the management of evidence. This necessitates a thorough and up-to-date examination of immigration documents through the optimization of forensic laboratory facilities. Utilizing a literature review method, this journal aims to analyze the role and function of forensic laboratories in examination of evidence related to immigration crimes and to formulate strategies for optimizing the use of forensic laboratories. The findings indicate that the Immigration Forensic Laboratory holds significant potential in supporting the enforcement of immigration law. However, this potential has not been fully realized due to inadequate facilities, underutilization of VSC equipment at Immigration Checkpoints, and limited competence of human resources.
