Abstract

The phenomenon of child sexual exploitation shows an alarming trend. Although the number of cases is not always high quantitatively, the impact on victims is extremely serious and multidimensional affecting physical, psychological, social aspects, and the child’s future. Reported cases often involve girls under the age of 18 who fall victim to people close to them, such as familiar adults, neighbors, or even family members. In several instances, victims are drawn into covert prostitution networks, either directly or through social media, where they are lured with promises of money, jobs, or even love, only to end up being trafficked and sexually exploited. The aim of this research is to analyze Legal Protection for Children Victims of Sexual Exploitation in the Jurisdiction of Siak Police, to examine the obstacles in providing such protection, and to explore solutions to overcome these challenges. This study uses a sociological legal research method. Based on the findings, it is revealed that while legal protection for children victims of sexual exploitation in the jurisdiction of Siak Police is already in place, its implementation is not yet optimal, due to various challenges both in law enforcement and victim support services. This is evident from the continued occurrence of child sexual exploitation cases, both those that have been handled and those that remain undisclosed. This situation shows that, although legal instruments and related institutions exist, their implementation at the practical level is not yet fully effective in providing maximum protection to children as the most vulnerable group. One key indicator of the inadequacy of legal protection is the recurring cases of child sexual exploitation. These cases occur not only in private environments such as homes or schools but also in public spaces, which should be safe for children.

Abstract

Criminal law reform in Indonesia has emerged as a pressing demand in line with the development of democratic principles and the need to enforce the law fairly and effectively. Changes in the criminal justice system are not merely adjustments to legal norms but also reflect society’s aspirations for justice, the protection of human rights, and the accountability of law enforcement authorities. This article analyzes the direction of criminal law reform, emphasizing the importance of democratizing law enforcement processes, including the modernization of criminal regulations, the application of the due process of law principle, and the enhancement of judicial institutions’ roles in ensuring legal certainty and protecting individual rights. Criminal law reform in Indonesia also requires an evaluation of law enforcement procedures that have historically been repressive and less responsive to democratic principles. This includes revising criminal laws, strengthening oversight mechanisms for law enforcement officers, and implementing a restorative justice approach that emphasizes both offender rehabilitation and victim recovery. The study shows that democratizing criminal law enforcement requires not only legislative changes but also a shift in legal culture, increased transparency, and public participation in the legal process. Moreover, this article highlights challenges arising in criminal law reform, such as bureaucratic resistance, disparities in access to justice, and potential conflicts between security needs and the protection of individual rights. Addressing these challenges requires comprehensive strategies, including legal education for the public, professional training for law enforcement officers, and the strengthening of independent oversight institutions. The overall process of criminal law reform based on democratic principles is expected to enhance the legitimacy of the criminal justice system, reduce crime rates, and create a more just and civilized society.

Abstract

Criminal law reform in Indonesia marks a significant shift from the old Penal Code (KUHP) to the new KUHP, aimed at strengthening law enforcement, ensuring legal certainty, and protecting human rights (HR). This reform reflects the necessity of a modern criminal justice system that is responsive to democratic demands and oriented towards substantive justice. One of the main aspects of the reform is the emphasis on progressive legal principles, including the protection of human rights during law enforcement processes and recognition of victims' rights. The new KUHP introduces more diversified punishment mechanisms, alternative criminal resolutions, and clearer provisions regarding criminal liability, including for corporate crimes. The reform underscores the importance of balancing state interests with individual protection within the criminal justice system. Thus, law enforcement focuses not only on repressive aspects but also on preventive, restorative, and rehabilitative measures. This study highlights the transformation of criminal norms, changes in legal structures, and the practical impact of the new KUHP on law enforcement practices in Indonesia. The analysis employs normative and descriptive juridical approaches, examining amended, deleted, or added articles and their implications for criminal justice institutions, including the police, prosecutors, courts, and correctional facilities. The results indicate that KUHP reform not only updates legal norms but also shifts the paradigm of law enforcement towards a more humane and democratic approach. Implementation challenges, such as law enforcement capacity, public awareness, and harmonization with other regulations, are crucial factors determining the effectiveness of this reform. In conclusion, the new KUHP represents a significant milestone in establishing a fair, transparent criminal law system oriented towards human rights protection, while simultaneously strengthening the legitimacy of law enforcement in Indonesia.
