Summary
Written by AI, not yet AICS's view · claude-haiku-4-5-20251001This paper examines the role of KPAI, Indonesia's state institution for child protection, in addressing violence against children. It discusses the definition of violence, its impacts on children including educational disruption, aggression, and trauma, and suggests that raising the minimum marriage age could help reduce violence. The study uses a normative juridical approach based on existing legal cases and literature. The paper emphasizes the need for both punishment of perpetrators and psychological support for victims.
Key points
- KPAI is responsible for supervising the implementation of child protection obligations under Indonesian law
- Violence against children causes multiple harms including educational disruption, behavioral aggression, and severe psychological trauma
- Victims of violence require mental health treatment to rebuild confidence and resume normal activities
- Raising the minimum marriage age to 21 for women and 24 for men is recommended as a violence prevention measure
- The research analyzes cases from books, journals, and online media using normative juridical methodology
Limitations
This is a normative legal analysis rather than empirical research, so it does not provide quantitative evidence about the effectiveness of KPAI's interventions or data on violence prevalence and outcomes. The document does not include primary data collection or evaluation of specific protection programs.
Abstract
KPAI is a state institution whose special task is to supervise the implementation of child protection in Indonesia, which is an obligation that must be upheld and implemented by the laws of the Republic of Indonesia. Violence is a mere behavior carried out by someone against another person to cause psychological or physical harm or injury. Punishment is not only expected to provide a deterrent sanction against the perpetrator. This research uses a normative juridical approach because the author only studies and analyzes based on previously existing cases obtained either from books, journals, or online media which are then analyzed according to the data. This writing focuses on legal protection for children in cases of violence in Indonesia. We as a society or parents must protect children from perpetrators who are victims of violence. The perpetrator always has a way to commit a crime. If the perpetrator of a crime of violence is caught, punish the perpetrator as harshly as possible, and for victims who experience violence, here too the victim also experiences mental pressure and severe trauma. You also have to help with treatment so that the child becomes confident again and can carry out the activities they normally do. Violence perpetrated against a child has several impacts, such as the child becoming disturbed in his/her education, the child becoming aggressive and even dying due to the physical damage experienced by the child. To reduce the level of violence against children, it is necessary to raise the age limit for marriage for children. Because the ideal marriage age for women is 21 years and for men 24 years, the data was obtained from the BKKBN campaign so that families grow up.
