Legal Protection for Disabled Victims of Crime of Indecent Acts Based on Justice (Study at the Cilacap City Police Resort)

vishnu vidyantara

Abstract


The Indonesian National Police play an important role in providing legal protection for persons with disabilities who become victims of criminal offenses through fair, non-discriminatory, and disability-friendly services during the investigation process. However, the handling of such cases faces complex challenges due to the victims' limitations, thereby requiring special approaches to ensure the fulfillment of victims' rights and the realization of justice that respects human dignity. This study aims to identify and analyze the forms of legal protection provided to persons with disabilities as victims of sexual abuse crimes at the Cilacap City Resort Police, the existing weaknesses, and the future legal protection measures for persons with disabilities as victims of sexual abuse crimes. This research employed a sociological juridical approach with a descriptive-analytical research specification. The data used consists of primary and secondary data. Data collection methods included field studies and library research. The data were analyzed using qualitative analysis. Based on the research findings, it can be concluded that legal protection for persons with disabilities who are victims of sexual abuse crimes at the Cilacap City Resort Police has generally been implemented in accordance with legal provisions through non-discriminatory treatment, psychological and social assistance, provision of information regarding victims' rights, and the availability of safe houses, thus reflecting a more humane and justice-oriented protection system. Nevertheless, several weaknesses remain, including the absence of specific Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for handling victims with disabilities, limited understanding among investigators, inadequate facilities and safe houses, interference from perpetrators, and difficulties in the evidentiary process due to the intellectual and psychological limitations of victims. Therefore, future legal protection efforts need to be improved through the formulation of specific SOPs, training for investigators in the Women and Children Protection Unit (PPA), provision of accessible facilities, and the implementation of flexible and humane examination procedures in order to enhance the effectiveness of law enforcement and provide optimal protection for victims with disabilities.
