This condition has led to a gap between the prosecution and prevention with acts of corruption that occurred, that the impacts of criminal acts and the prevention of corruption are not directly proportional to the data of criminal acts of corruption that occurred. Supposedly, the more action and prevention activities undertaken, the criminal acts of corruption will decrease. However, empirically, the situation in the field is the opposite. To combat this increasingly massive corruption, it is necessary to make more efforts to create an anti-corruption society. The strategic step that must be done by the government is to make intensive prevention efforts, through legal community education in realizing anti-corruption culture in Indonesia. Intensive prevention is done by establishing commission on prevention of corruption, which carries a special task of preventing corruption. The problems that have been hypothesized in this study have been tested by the researchers and resulted in a conclusion that officials given knowledge about the prevention of corruption acts tend not to do corruption, compared to those who do not follow socialization or get the knowledge; There is a positive influence of socialization activities conducted on the decrease of corruption. Keywords: anticorruption culture, community education, and regulation. Introduction The Nawacita program, which is used as a guideline for the performance of the President Republic Indonesia, Joko Widodo, for five years consists of nine strategic programs. From the nine programs, two programs are related to the nation's education program, among others: The fifth program aims at "improving the quality of life of Indonesians by improving the quality of education and training with the program of "Smart Indonesia" and improving the welfare of the people with the program of "Indonesia Work" and "Prosperous Indonesia" by encouraging land reform and land tenure programs of an area of nine hectares, subsidized house program or subsidized low-cost housing as well as social security for the people in 2019".
