The murder case that occurred in Cisontrol Rancah Village demonstrates an extreme level of brutality. From a legal and criminological perspective, the act of striking the victim’s head and then dismembering the body into several pieces indicates a combination of situational factors and severe psychological disorders. What factors led the perpetrator to commit premeditated murder in Cisontrol Village, Rancah Subdistrict ?, nd What is the criminological analysis of the modus operandi and the profile of the perpetrator of the premeditated murder in Cisontrol Village, Rancah Subdistrict Based on the characteristics of the research, the type of research used in this study is normative legal research. Normative legal research is a research method conducted by taking material from an event to be analyzed and linked to applicable legislation, namely the Old Criminal Code referring to Law No. 1 of 1946 concerning Criminal Law Regulations (derived from the Wetboek van Strafrecht voor Nederlandsch-Indië), while the New Criminal Code refers to Law No. 1 of 2023 on the Criminal Code. From a criminological perspective, offenders in this category fall under the typology of offenders with mental illness (insane criminals). Referring to the legal perspective (such as Article 44 of the Criminal Code), research conclusions generally suggest that regarding Criminal Liability: The offender cannot be held fully criminally liable due to the absence of an element of rational intent. Sentencing recommendations should shift from prison sentences (punitive) to medical treatment (rehabilitative) at a psychiatric hospital to ensure public safety while also safeguarding the offender’s fundamental right to receive care. If the modus operandi indicates meticulous planning (such as wearing gloves, cleaning the crime scene, and fabricating a false alibi), claims of mental illness are typically met with skepticism, as the perpetrator is deemed to still possess “legal awareness.” And the ability to control one’s actions. The criminal behavior of individuals with mental disorders is the result of an interaction between biological vulnerability and environmental factors. An environment that is unable to provide early detection or monitoring of changes in the perpetrator’s behavior is a contributing factor. It is recommended that the role of community leaders be strengthened to optimize the role of village officials and religious leaders in Cisontrol Village in mediating conflicts among residents before they escalate into acts of violence. Legal education through public awareness campaigns on the severe consequences of premeditated murder to create a psychological deterrent effect among the public, and Neighborhood Watch (Siskamling) programs to increase residents’ vigilance regarding suspicious activities or conflicts that may arise.
