Dynamics of Restitution Implementation in the Crime of Sexual Violence against Children in the View of Positive Law in Indonesia

Literature Review Study

Abstract

This study examines the dynamics of restitution implementation in child sexual violence cases from the perspective of positive law in Indonesia. The high incidence of sexual violence against children, which threatens the vision of the 2045 Golden Generation, is a major concern. Restitution, which is the right of victims under Law No. 35 of 2014 and Government Regulation No. 7 of 2018, often faces challenges due to access limitations, legal overlaps, and a lack of community awareness. This research employs a normative legal method with an analytical approach. The findings reveal that the implementation of restitution remains ineffective due to limitations in law enforcement, supporting facilities, and public understanding. Proposed solutions include enhancing the role of the Witness and Victim Protection Agency (LPSK), revising legal procedures, and educating the public to strengthen protection for child victims of sexual violence.
