This book is a compilation or anthology of articles of abuse of power in Indonesia that have been published in international journals indexed by Scopus, Copernicus, and direct open access. Despite its weaknesses and strengths, the substance of this book has gained recognition from scientists at the international level. The anatomy of a culture of abuse of power in Indonesia from the standpoint of criminology and law has an impact on deviations not only on the discretion of power and moral behavior of public officials. In fact, many public officials abuse power by being corrupt or punished, even by severe law, even the perpetrators of power violations continue to commit corruption or it can be seen that there is no clear effect for corruptors. However, it is a wrong system in the life of the nation and state, when public officials who depart from the people do not have the view of life as a nation and state as they should. Therefore, in accordance with the views and suggestions of the author, this nation and state need to return to the joint system of life of the nation and state of Indonesia, namely implementing the points of practice and appreciation of the Pancasila precepts with truth rather than mere rhetoric, because the ideology of the Pancasila state has been built since the country was founded by the founding fathers.
