Abstract

Children who are victims of crime often face severe challenges in their recovery after the incident. In the context of the Indonesian criminal justice system, protecting their rights is still an issue that has not been fully resolved. This study aims to analyze the procedures and considerations of judges in determining the amount of compensation for victims, especially children, who are victims of crime. The normative method examines relevant legal regulations and related legal principles. The analysis shows that the regulation on restitution for child victims has provided a systematic framework to ensure fair compensation. However, there are still challenges in effectively implementing restitution, especially in cases of sexual assault, where offenders often struggle to fulfil their restitution obligations. It creates injustice for victims, who have to bear the brunt of financial and emotional losses. In this context, the role of the judge is crucial in determining the amount of restitution appropriate to the loss suffered by the victim. The protection of child victims of crime is not only the responsibility of the criminal justice system but also of the entire society. Therefore, further measures are needed to increase public awareness and support in victim recovery, as well as to ensure that the criminal law system is more humane and progressive in protecting the rights of victims, especially the rights of children.

Abstract

This study examines the implementation of restitution rights for child victims of sexual abuse in Islamic boarding schools, focusing on the Sorong District Court Decision No. 247/Pid.Sus/2023/PN Son. Using a normative juridical approach and descriptive-analytical method, the research evaluates the legal framework and practical challenges in enforcing restitution under Law No. 31 of 2014 on Witness and Victim Protection. The findings reveal that restitution remains largely symbolic, hindered by limited law enforcement understanding, the absence of a clear execution mechanism, and minimal state intervention. The study’s novelty lies in its analysis of restitution within religious educational institutions and its critique of the state’s weak commitment to victims’ recovery. Strengthening the LPSK’s role, formulating technical regulations, and ensuring state-funded compensation are recommended to transform restitution from a formal norm into a substantive realization of justice for victims of child sexual abuse.   Penelitian ini menganalisis implementasi hak restitusi bagi anak korban pelecehan seksual di pesantren dengan studi kasus Putusan Pengadilan Negeri Sorong Nomor 247/Pid.Sus/2023/PN Son. Menggunakan pendekatan yuridis normatif dan metode deskriptif-analitis, penelitian ini menilai kerangka hukum serta hambatan praktis dalam pelaksanaan restitusi berdasarkan Undang-Undang Nomor 31 Tahun 2014 tentang Perlindungan Saksi dan Korban. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pelaksanaan restitusi masih bersifat simbolis karena terbatasnya pemahaman aparat penegak hukum, tidak adanya mekanisme eksekusi yang jelas, serta minimnya intervensi negara. Kebaruan penelitian ini terletak pada fokus kajian restitusi di lembaga pendidikan keagamaan dan analisis kritis terhadap lemahnya peran negara dalam pemulihan korban. Penelitian merekomendasikan penguatan peran LPSK (Lembaga Perlindungan Saksi dan Korban), perumusan regulasi teknis yang lebih operasional, serta penyediaan dana kompensasi negara agar restitusi benar-benar terwujud sebagai keadilan substantif bagi anak korban kekerasan seksual.
