Abstract

Sexual crimes are a serious and growing problem in Indonesia and have far-reaching implications, including abortion. Indonesia's abortion regulations have evolved, particularly in providing exceptions for victims of sexual crimes with certain gestational age limits. However, the implementation of this policy still faces challenges, such as complex administrative procedures, limited health care facilities, and social stigma. On the other hand, the government has implemented chemical castration as an effort to reduce the number of sexual crimes against children. This policy aims to reduce the sexual drive of offenders and prevent recidivism. However, its effectiveness is still debated, especially regarding medical aspects, ethics, and limited medical personnel in its implementation. This research uses a normative juridical approach with a literature study mOethod to analyze the applicable regulations as well as the challenges of implementing policies related to sexual crimes, abortion, and chemical castration in Indonesia. The results show that the existing regulations still have some weaknesses in implementation, especially in access to health services for victims of sexual violence and the effectiveness of chemical castration in reducing the number of sexual crimes. Therefore, a more comprehensive approach is needed, including improved abortion regulations, improved services for victims, and sexual education as a long- term prevention effort against sexual crimes.

Abstract

The use of forensic DNA evidence in the criminal justice system in Indonesia faces various challenges, especially related to regulations that are not fully aligned with international standards. Law No. 8 of 1981 concerning the Criminal Procedure Code (KUHAP), especially Articles 184 and 186, does not provide specific guidelines regarding the procedures for collecting, testing, and using forensic DNA evidence in the criminal evidence process. This study aims to analyze the regulations and procedures governing forensic DNA evidence in Indonesia and propose legal solutions to strengthen the regulations to comply with international standards. This study uses a normative legal research method, focusing on the analysis of relevant laws, legal doctrines, and court decisions. Discussions center on the harmonization of national regulations with international standards, strengthening the capacity of forensic institutions, and reforming legal procedures related to DNA evidence. The research findings indicate that Indonesia needs more comprehensive regulatory reforms related to the use of forensic DNA evidence, especially regarding the accreditation of forensic laboratories according to international standards such as ISO 17025 and the development of transparent and legally accountable evidence collection procedures. In conclusion, although DNA evidence has great potential to strengthen convictions in the criminal justice system, regulatory reform and strengthening of forensic institutions are needed for the Indonesian justice system to adopt higher international standards. Thus, the use of forensic DNA evidence can contribute significantly to justice in criminal law enforcement in Indonesia.
