The castration sentence that has been imposed as an additional punishment to provide a deterrent effect for perpetrators of sexual violence against children in mid-2019 by judges at the Sidoarjo District Court and the Surabaya District Court is interesting to examine. The research objective was to determine the effect of the nut on the perpetrator, as well as the effect of its prevention on society. This type of juridical normative research is descriptive in nature, with qualitative analysis. The results of the research show that the judge's decision has only had a panic effect on the perpetrator, it is not possible to see a deterrent effect for the perpetrator because castration will only be carried out when the convict has finished serving imprisonment. While the preventive effect for the community has not yet been seen, it is proven that currently the crime rate is still high.
Incest cases in Indonesia remain a concerning issue that demands serious attention from various stakeholders. This study is motivated by legal challenges regarding the protection of incest victims, particularly with the application of the best interest of the child principle. In practice, however, cases of violence against children are often not addressed with an approach that prioritizes the best interest of the child. This research focuses on analyzing Verdict No. 148/Pid.Sus/2023/PN.BLN aims to identify the extent to which judicial considerations in resolving this case have either disregarded or adhered to the best interest of the child principle. The research adopts a normative legal method involving analysis, observation, and examination of written legal materials. In normative legal research, the focus lies on applying existing laws as a guiding framework within societal life, determining what is considered appropriate. This study employs a case-based approach by analyzing primary and secondary legal materials, including legislation, court decisions, and relevant legal literature. Data were collected through a literature review and analyzed deductively to address the research questions. The findings indicate that in Verdict No. 148/Pid.Sus/2023/PN.BLN, the judges have not fully prioritized the best interest of the child principal. Although efforts were made to protect children who are victims of incest, several critical aspects were not adequately considered. This highlights the need to enhance judges' awareness and understanding of the importance of the best interest of the child principle in every decision involving victims of violence, particularly in cases of incest.
Today, many cases of violence are widely reported in the mass media. The most recent case is the problem of sexual violence that affects children, where most of the perpetrators are acquaintances of the victim. Children become targets of violence because their position is always judged as weak, helpless, and dependent on the adults around them. This study discusses the state and religion's role in protecting children from sexual violence. This research was conducted with a sociological approach through the resource mobilization theory. The results of this study inform the definition of violence, Islamic views on children, and efforts to protect children through the National Movement Against Sexual Crimes Against Children (Gerakan Nasional Anti Kejahatan Seksual Terhadap Anak; GN-AKSA). The conclusion of this study shows that Islamic values that advocate for good care of children can be merged with GN-AKSA as an effort to protect children from sexual violence.

Objectives. This study aimed to estimate the national prevalence of violence against Filipino children and youth as experienced in various forms and settings. Methods. About 3,866 young people aged 13-24 years from 172 randomly selected barangays (villages) nationwide participated in the survey. The questionnaire was self-administered, interviewer-administered, or interviewer-assisted, depending on the capability and preference of the respondent. Female respondents were interviewed or assisted by a female field assistant, while male field assistants guided the male respondents. The questionnaire was translated into seven local dialects and administered in the most comprehensible language to the respondent. Results. Overall, 80 percent of the 3,866 respondents experienced any one form of violence in the home, school, workplace, and community. More than 3 in five suffered from physical, psychological, and peer violence, while 22.4 percent were victims of sexual abuse. Ten percent were physically neglected, while a fourth felt psychologically neglected by their caregivers. More boys claimed to have been sexually abused and physically neglected, while more girls were bullied and witnessed psychological violence in the home. VAC prevalence was, however, found to be highest among LGBTQ+s compared to heterosexual males and females. Despite the high prevalence, less than 10 percent of respondents disclosed their experiences of abuse, primarily to friends and parents. About one in 10 ever sought help from a professional. Conclusion. There is a need to improve the implementation of child protection programs at the local level, where violence issues of heterosexual boys and girls and LGBTs are addressed.

Sexual violence against children is one of the new forms of crime, which involves children as the next generation of the nation, so that the crime is quite a concern among the community. Child protection is an effort to create a situation where all children can carry out their obligations and rights. As for the implementation of balance in a society, legal protection should be sought in various aspects of state and social activities. Children with disabilities are often the main target to be used as victims of criminals, discrimination and sexual violence. This can be seen from the increase in criminal cases against women and children with disabilities which tend to increase from year to year. The purpose of this study is to determine the legal protection of children with disabilities as victims of sexual violence and criminal sanctions against perpetrators of sexual violence against children with disabilities. The method used is a normative method along with statutory and conceptual approaches. The results of the study say that legal protection of children as victims of sexual violence is contained in article 1 paragraph (2) of Law No. 35 of 2014 concerning child protection, namely so that the child gets security and his rights as a child. The implementation of good rule enforcement based on proportional guidelines must seek to create an overall balance value, which includes the value of balance by the victim, the criminal, and the people as a whole.
This study aims to examine and analyze the handling of cases of sexual violence against children from a positive legal perspective, focusing on the implementation of legal procedures at the Batu Police Department. The method used is normative juridical, with a statutory and conceptual approach. The primary data sources consist of primary legal materials, such as the Criminal Code (KUHP), Law Number 35 of 2014 concerning Child Protection, Law Number 12 of 2022 concerning Criminal Acts of Sexual Violence, and Law Number 11 of 2012 concerning the juvenile criminal justice system. Secondary legal materials were obtained from academic literature, scientific journals, and relevant law enforcement documents. The results of the study indicate that normatively, the handling of cases of sexual violence against children is clearly regulated through laws and regulations that require maximum protection for child victims, including in investigations, special treatment during examinations, and the fulfillment of victims' rights. However, in practice at the Batu Police Department, law enforcement still faces various challenges, such as limited investigative resources, minimal psychological support, and a lack of understanding of the victim's perspective. Furthermore, the legal process still does not fully comply with the principles of restorative justice mandated by the latest regulations. This study recommends improving the capacity of investigators through gender-sensitive and child protection training, strengthening synergy between the police, child protection agencies, and supporting agencies, and ensuring ongoing oversight of the case handling process to ensure optimal protection of child victims' rights at every stage of the legal process.
