Effectiveness of Protection of the Rights of Child Victims of Sexual Crimes Through Restitution in Criminal Decisions (Study Of Decision Number 1/Pid.Sus/2024/Pn Msh)
Abstract
This study examines the application of restitution for child victims of sexual crimes in Decision Number 1/Pid.Sus/2024/PN Msh, identifies obstacles and factors causing ineffectiveness, and formulates improvements to enhance the effectiveness of child rights protection through restitution in Indonesia. The research method used is normative-qualitative with a decision study approach, interviews, and legal literature. The results show that although the defendant was sentenced to imprisonment and a fine, the verdict has not effectively accommodated restitution for the victim. The main obstacles include unclear legal mechanisms, limited resources and coordination of law enforcement officers, psychological trauma of victims, family economic dependence, and minimal participation of children in the legal process. To improve the effectiveness of restitution, the study recommends the development of technical guidelines for restitution, the establishment of restitution units in the prosecutor's office and courts, increased budgets for victim recovery, proactive training of law enforcement officers, strengthening legal and psychological assistance for victims, and the use of a digital-based monitoring system. The implementation of these recommendations is expected to strengthen the protection of the rights of child victims of sexual crimes and uphold restorative justice comprehensively.
