Abstract: Corruption in local government administration is a serious problem that hampers development, damages governance, and reduces public trust in state institutions. Although various efforts have been made, such as law enforcement and strengthening regulations, the effectiveness of handling corruption crimes still faces major challenges. This article aims to examine the ideal design in handling corruption crimes by local governments, focusing on integrated prevention, prosecution and supervision efforts. This scientific investigation implements a qualitative approach through analysis of legal documents, case studies, and interviews with legal practitioners and government officials. The results of the study show that the ideal design for handling corruption requires a multi-dimensional approach that involves prevention through transparency of government systems, empowerment of community supervision, and strengthening the capacity of the Government Internal Supervisory Apparatus (APIP). In addition, strict and fair prosecution must be supported by collaboration between law enforcers such as the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK), the Attorney General's Office, and the Police. This article recommends more adaptive regulatory reforms, implementation of digital technology to support transparency, and increased supervision based on community participation. With this design, local governments are expected to be able to reduce the number of corruption and build clean, effective, and public service-oriented government management.
