Abstract

Victimology is the study of victims, their victimization causes, and the consequences of victimization. Victims can play a functional role in the occurrence of a crime. Although victims have a role in triggering a crime, they must still receive legal protection for their rights. This study examines victimology and forms of legal protection for child victims of sexual abuse using normative and empirical juridical approaches. The results of this study indicate that the occurrence of a crime cannot be seen solely from the perpetrator's perspective; victims also play a role in the occurrence of a crime. The victim's behavior is a driving factor in the occurrence of sexual abuse. In this case, the sexual abuse of victim NK can be categorized as biologically weak, participating, and provocative. The victim has received legal protection in accordance with Article 64, Paragraph (3) of Law Number 35 of 2014 concerning Child Protection, namely receiving rehabilitation, safety guarantees, and accessibility to obtain information on case developments.

Abstract

Children in conflict with the law require special protection within the juvenile criminal justice system to ensure the fulfillment of their rights and interests. This study examines the implementation of the principle of the best interests of the child in the juvenile criminal justice system, particularly through the diversion mechanism as regulated under Law Number 11 of 2012 concerning the Juvenile Criminal Justice System. The research aims to analyze the application of this principle and identify obstacles that may hinder its effective implementation. This study employs a normative juridical method using statutory, conceptual, and case approaches. Legal materials were collected through literature review and analyzed qualitatively. The results indicate that the principle of the best interests of the child is reflected in the diversion process, which prioritizes restorative justice, rehabilitation, and the protection of children’s rights while maintaining consideration for victims’ interests. However, several challenges remain, including the dependence on victim consent in diversion proceedings, limited public understanding of restorative justice, low community participation, and the need for stronger institutional support in implementing diversion. Therefore, enhancing public awareness, strengthening stakeholder involvement, and improving diversion guidelines are necessary to ensure that the best interests of the child are consistently realized within the juvenile criminal justice system.
