Corruption is a structural problem that continues to hamper development and equitable welfare in Indonesia. The data sources used consist of 13 national scientific journals, 3 reports from non-governmental organizations (ICW, KPK, TII), and 4 credible mass media outlets (Kompas, Tempo, CNBC Indonesia, and BBC Indonesia) published between 2019 and 2025. The purpose of this article is to evaluate the consistency and institutional challenges in anti-corruption efforts, as well as to recommend strengthening the integrity system in public policy governance in the future. Based on an analysis of three strategic cases—e-KTP, COVID-19 social assistance, and the free lunch program—the role of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) shows a transformation from a repressive approach to a more preventive and systemic one. In the e-KTP and social assistance cases, the KPK emphasized its strong law enforcement function, while in the free lunch program, the KPK positioned itself as a strategic supervisor from the planning stage to prevent potential irregularities.

The regulation of street vendors (PKL) in Aceh Besar Regency is part of the local government's efforts to maintain public order and manage public space effectively. This study aims to analyze the preventive and repressive strategies implemented by the Municipal Police Unit in regulating street vendors. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed, with data collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The findings reveal that preventive strategies are carried out through guidance activities such as socialization, counseling, and routine patrols. However, the effectiveness of these strategies remains limited due to resource constraints and low participation from the vendors. On the other hand, repressive strategies involve direct enforcement through warnings and evictions, as well as indirect enforcement through cross-sector coordination and business location relocation. Repressive measures often provoke resistance from vendors, especially since the designated relocation areas are perceived as economically unstrategic. The implications of this research highlight the importance of strengthening persuasive approaches, enhancing inter-agency coordination, and providing viable relocation sites to ensure that enforcement policies are implemented effectively, sustainably, and with public acceptance.
