<![CDATA[The high rate of sexual violence against children in Indonesia is not matched by the effectiveness of fulfilling restitution rights. This research aims to analyze the regulation of restitution for child victims of sexual violence through a victimology perspective. The research method used is normative judicial with a legal comparison approach between Indonesia and California. The results show that the restitution mechanism in Indonesia is still hampered by complicated application procedures and the existence of substitute imprisonment which is often chosen by perpetrators. In contrast, the California system through the California Victim Compensation Board implements automatic restitution orders. In conclusion, Indonesia needs legal reform by adopting automatic restitution and strengthening compensation funding institutions. A paradigm shift from retributive justice to victim-oriented justice is crucial to prevent secondary victimization and ensure comprehensive victim recovery. ]]>
