Abstract

This study discusses the role of the Asahan Resort Police Samapta Unit in handling minor crimes through the application of a restorative justice approach. As one of the operational functions of the police, the Samapta Unit has the main task of maintaining public security and order, including rapid response to violations and misdemeanors. Through the restorative justice approach, Samapta seeks to resolve cases by prioritizing the restoration of relationships between perpetrators, victims, and the community, as well as minimizing lengthy judicial processes. The results of the discussion show that the role of Samapta includes preventive, responsive, and solutive actions through mediation, peace facilitation, and assistance in the peaceful case settlement process.

This study emphasizes that the optimization of restorative justice by the Samapta Unit can be a strategic alternative in handling minor crimes that are more humane, fast, and just

The phenomenon  of child grooming that develops through digital media is a form of modern sexual violence that poses a serious threat to children as a vulnerable group. This practice is carried out by the perpetrator establishing communication, building closeness, and psychological manipulation of children for the purpose of sexual exploitation. This research aims to examine the criminal act of child grooming as a form of digital sexual violence and analyze the legal accountability of perpetrators according to laws and regulations in Indonesia. The research method used is normative juridical research with a legislative and conceptual approach. The results of the study show that the crime of child grooming has been regulated in Law Number 17 of 2016 concerning Child Protection and Law Number 12 of 2022 concerning the Crime of Sexual Violence. Both regulations affirm that perpetrators can be sentenced to criminal sanctions, either in the form of imprisonment or additional penalties, taking into account the aspect of child protection as a victim. Thus, the accountability of child grooming  perpetrators not only emphasizes on the criminal aspect, but also on the prevention and recovery of victims.
