Abstract

The increasing cases of criminal actions against children, especially child sexual abuse, have become a concern of many parties within the state. From individual and child protection institutions to state officials have their statement of concern of the situation. In some cases, the child victims have been found dead. This study is a normative legal research that specifically aims to nationally mapping the issue of child protection related to cases of child sexual abuse. Research purposes expected to find the fundamental weaknesses of every related legal product presents today, either formally or materially, related to preventing child sexual abuse. The system of penalties in the aforementioned legal products becomes the subject discussed. Imprisonment becomes one of the main sub-studies, in addition to the possibility of other types of penalties as a strategy to minimize the potential for child sexual abuse. The results found that the presence of legal products that specifically regulate child protection in reality has not been able to reduce the number of child sexual abuse cases in Indonesia up to the present.
