Abstract

The impact of COVID-19 on all corners of the world has taken country leaders by surprise. Several countries then adopted policies that were undoubtedly different from one another. This article compares several selected state policies, especially the use of government policies that are oriented towards the public interest. This article is constructed using normative legal research. From March 2020 until November 2020, the policies of selected countries were analyzed using four indicators as the fundamental essence of Pound’s sociological jurisprudence. This article reveals that Japan, Italy, and New Zealand tend to implement policies to handle the COVID-19 based on community needs. Meanwhile, the US and China can be relatively weak because their policies are not strong in all indicators. Finally, Indonesia can be said to be a country with a policy for handling outbreaks far from society’s needs.
