Abstract

Chemical castration for perpetrators of sexual violence against children has been legalized through Law Number 17 of 2016 and Government Regulation Number 70 of 2020 as an additional sanction in the Indonesian criminal justice system. However, the implementation of this policy continues to spark debate, particularly in terms of medical professional ethics. This study aims to examine the differences in the application of chemical castration in Indonesia and several other countries, as well as to provide policy recommendations that ensure legal protection for medical personnel. The research method used is normative juridical with a comparative approach. The findings indicate that several countries have implemented chemical castration as a voluntary therapeutic measure with medical and psychiatric supervision. Therefore, a reformulation of chemical castration policy in Indonesia is necessary—one that emphasizes a therapeutic approach, ensures ethical and legal protection for doctors, and involves informed consent from the perpetrator.
