Abstract

This article examines the application of victimology in the legal protection of children as victims of sexual intercourse crimes in Indonesia. Using a normative juridical method complemented by conceptual and case approaches, it analyses child protection laws, the Juvenile Criminal Justice System Law, the Criminal Code, and selected court decisions, particularly from Papua and Maluku. The study explores how victims are positioned within the criminal justice process, whether as mere objects of evidence or as rights-bearing subjects entitled to protection, recovery, and restitution. The findings show that, although the legal framework formally recognizes preventive and repressive protection, implementation remains fragmented: trauma-informed procedures, child-friendly examinations, psychological support, and restitution orders are often absent or inconsistent. As a result, child victims frequently experience revictimization and unresolved psychological and social harm. Drawing on modern victimology and restorative justice theory, the article argues for a victim-centred juvenile justice paradigm that integrates preventive safeguards, comprehensive rehabilitation, and effective coordination among law-enforcement, child-protection agencies, and support institutions. Strengthening these elements is essential to realizing a truly child-friendly justice system and fulfilling the state’s constitutional mandate to protect children from sexual violence

Abstract

This study examines the implementation of criminal law against members of the Indonesian National Police involved in the sale of firearms and ammunition, with a specific case study at the West Papua Regional Police. Using a normative juridical and qualitative approach, the research analyzes the coherence between Emergency Law No. 12 of 1951, Law No. 2 of 2002 on the National Police, and internal regulations such as the Chief of Police Regulations on firearms control and the professional code of ethics, as well as their application in practice. The findings show that the acts of trading and controlling firearms by police officers clearly fulfill the elements of illegal possession and participation in crime, thus giving rise to full criminal and ethical liability. Law enforcement in this case reflects a dual-track accountability system: criminal proceedings before the general court and internal disciplinary and ethical sanctions, including the possibility of dishonorable discharge. However, the case also reveals structural weaknesses in firearms supervision, internal control mechanisms, and integrity culture. The study recommends strengthening multilayered oversight, improving firearms management systems, and institutionalizing firm, transparent sanctions to reinforce police professionalism and public trust.
