<![CDATA[Proof constitutes an essential element in the law enforcement process concerning criminal acts of violence against women and children. One of the important instruments supporting the evidentiary process is the Visum et Repertum, which provides medical findings regarding the victim’s condition. This study aims to examine the legal position of Visum et Repertum as evidence, assess its effectiveness in supporting the proof of criminal acts of violence against women and children at the Women and Children Protection Unit (PPA) of Medan Metropolitan Police, and identify the obstacles encountered in its implementation. This research employs an empirical legal method with normative and sociological juridical approaches. Data were collected through library research and field studies and analyzed qualitatively. The findings indicate that Visum et Repertum occupies an important position in the evidentiary process and its application at the PPA Unit of Medan Metropolitan Police has been relatively effective in facilitating the disclosure of criminal acts. Nevertheless, several obstacles remain, affecting the optimization of its use in criminal proceedings. Therefore, enhanced coordination and adequate institutional support are necessary to strengthen the effectiveness of Visum et Repertum in the criminal justice system.]]>
