penangkapan

Penangkapan is an Indonesian term meaning the act of catching or seizing, and is used in various contexts. It most commonly refers to arrest by law enforcement, but can also denote catching animals, goods, or people in other circumstances. The word derives from tangkap, meaning to seize or take hold.

In a legal context, penangkapan refers to the arrest of a person suspected of a crime. In Indonesia, the procedure is governed by the criminal procedure code (KUHAP). An arrest may be with a warrant or without a warrant under certain circumstances. After arrest, the person may be detained for a limited period and must be informed of the reasons for arrest, the charges, and the right to legal counsel. Authorities are generally required to bring the suspect before a prosecutor or judge within a prescribed time. Detainees have rights to counsel, to be informed of charges, to remain silent, and to humane treatment.

In maritime and fisheries contexts, penangkapan also means the catching of fish or other aquatic resources. Penangkapan ikan is regulated by fisheries laws, including quotas, gear restrictions, and conservation measures. Illegal, unreported, and unregulated fishing is a separate enforcement concern.

The term is widely used in law, media, and everyday language to describe capture or detention, with the precise meaning depending on context.
