Therefore, several cases of begal that have been arrested by residents have resulted in a “street court” where people suspected of being the perpetrators of begal were tortured by the community. Criminologist from the University of Indonesia, Erlangga Masdiana, saw that the perpetrators had an opportunity to get money through the action of begal. Erlangga also saw that from the existing pattern, the motorcycle of begal incident usually occurred at the beginning of the year. The reason is “economic activities are still not a lot,” he explained. Indonesia, in persfective of law, considering that the perpetrators of begal are on average young age, they are only subject to coaching sanctions. In this case, according to criminologist Hamidah Abdurrahman that executor of begal can be charged under Article 365 because before taking a motorcycle owned by another person, he gave threats to violence to the victim. And if it resulted in death of the victim then he could be threatened with a maximum imprisonment of fifteen years up to the death penalty or life imprisonment.
