T The defendant Andes had committed an act of abuse which resulted in serious injuries to the victim, the stabbing which hit the chest could have resulted in death and this act was carried out with prior planning by taking a pair of scissors from inside his house then chasing the victim and stabbing him with the scissors. With a case study of Decision No. 236/Pid.B/2020/PN Tbk, the main issues in this research are: 1) Are the actions of the perpetrator of the crime of abuse which was planned to result in serious injury appropriate based on Article 351 paragraph (2) of the Criminal Code?, 2) How is the sentence imposed by the judge? which sentenced the defendant to 2 years in accordance with the purpose of the sentence? This research uses a type of normative juridical research which is descriptive analytical in nature, using secondary data obtained through literature study and processed qualitatively and then drawing conclusions in a deductive manner. The research conclusions are that 1) the actions of the perpetrator of the crime of abuse which were planned to result in serious injuries were inappropriate based on Article 351 paragraph (2) of the Criminal Code, 2) the sentence by the judge who sentenced the defendant to 2 years was not in accordance with the purpose of the sentence. The research results of the perpetrator's actions are more appropriate based on Article 353 paragraph (2) of the Criminal Code and receive a maximum criminal sanction of 7 years in prison, because the perpetrator carried out the act with prior planning.
