Abstract
The purpose of this study is to attempt to examine the impact of law implementing and enforcing health protocols during the pandemic from the lens of Emile Durkheim's sociology theory of law regarding the four categories of Durkheim's suicide, egotistical, altruistic, anomic, and fatalistic suicide in the Indonesian context. This research method uses empirical juridical research methods related to the effectiveness of the law in the implementation and enforcement of government policies related to health protocols during the pandemic. This study indicates that (1) Law enforcement coupled with public education is necessary to prevent potential selfish suicides. (2) Law enforcement coupled with public education is also essential to prevent the potential for altruistic suicide. (3) Supremacy and consistency in applying the law are necessary to prevent potential anomic suicides. (4) Fair law enforcement is also essential to prevent the potential for fatalistic suicide. The potential for suicide or refusal to comply with Indonesian government regulations regarding health protocols during the Covid-19 pandemic greatly depends on communication and government policy as law enforcers (mechanical solidarity) and solid social cohesion (organic solidarity) among people.
