Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine the role of stakeholders in providing protection for victims of hit-and-run crimes in traffic accidents. Law enforcement practices in Indonesia are often colored by things that are contrary to the principles that uphold human rights. Since ancient times, the human rights of Indonesian citizens have often been ignored or neglected, including victims of hit-and-run crimes in traffic accidents. Based on this history, the Indonesian government is trying to protect victims of crime, including victims of hit-and-run crimes in traffic accidents. Legal protection for victims of hit-and-run crimes in North Sulawesi has not yet fulfilled a sense of justice and every year the number of victims increases, both minor injuries, serious injuries, and even death. In this case, the role of institutions is very much needed. In conclusion, the role of stakeholders in protecting victims of hit-and-run crimes in North Sulawesi includes the role of the North Sulawesi Regional Police which uses penal and non-penal efforts. As well as the role played by the North Sulawesi Regional Government. This role is a concrete step in realizing the goal of protecting victims of hit and run accidents, especially those that occur in North Sulawesi.

Abstract

Psychological violence is a form of non-physical harm that causes serious mental suffering and requires strong legal protection within a just and recovery-oriented criminal justice system. This research aims to examine how legal protection is provided by the Police to victims of psychological violence crimes. Using a library research method, the study analyzes literature, legislation, and other written legal materials related to victim protection. The findings indicate that legal protection for victims of psychological violence is a state obligation implemented through law enforcement agencies, including the police, prosecutors, and courts, and covers legal, psychological, and social aspects. In Indonesia, psychological violence has been legally recognized as a criminal act, particularly in the domestic sphere under Law Number 23 of 2004 concerning the Elimination of Domestic Violence, and is further reinforced by Law Number 13 of 2006 as amended by Law Number 31 of 2014. In conclusion, police-provided legal protection is essential not only to guarantee victims’ rights during the legal process but also to ensure state recognition of the suffering experienced by victims of psychological violence.
