Abstract

Prostitution in Indonesia continues to be a complex and contentious issue, involving not only pimps and sex workers but also service users who remain largely unregulated by existing laws. This research examines the gaps in Indonesia’s legal framework, particularly the absence of provisions criminalizing prostitution service users. The study aims to explore how Indonesian law addresses the criminalization of all parties involved in prostitution, focusing on service users and the enforcement of criminal sanctions. Using a normative legal research methodology, this study reviews existing laws such as Law No. 44 of 2008 on Pornography, Law No. 19 of 2016 on Electronic Information and Transactions, and the Criminal Code (KUHP). It applies legal analysis through the legislative approach and legal concept approach, identifying significant gaps in applying criminal sanctions to users of prostitution services. The findings highlight that while pimps and service providers are criminalized, service users remain largely exempt from legal accountability. The study proposes that service users can be prosecuted through adultery complaints as stipulated in Article 284 of the Criminal Code. These findings suggest the urgent need for legal reforms to address this gap, ensuring a more comprehensive legal approach to prostitution regulation.

Abstract

Handling of domestic violence is handed over to the police as the spearhead of the investigation process and its handling is processed in accordance with applicable law. Police Efforts in Handling Domestic Violence in the Karangasem Police Jurisdiction, namely (1) Pre-Emptive Efforts (Non-Penal Facilities), are one of the non-penal efforts or outside the legal path that aims to foster society by trying to instill good norms or morals to eliminate the intentions of potential perpetrators of domestic violence. (2) Preventive Efforts (Non-Penal Facilities) are the last non-penal efforts that can be taken by the police to prevent domestic violence. Preventive efforts themselves are more towards efforts aimed at eliminating the opportunities that potential perpetrators have to commit a criminal crime. and (3) Repressive Efforts (Penal Facilities), are the last efforts that can be made by the police to overcome a criminal crime.
