CHEMICAL CASTRATION PUNISHMENT FOR PERPETRATORS OF SEXUAL VIOLENCE AGAINST CHILDREN AS REVIEWED FROM CRIMINAL LAW POLICY

Abstract

Violence or sexual harassment experienced by children as victims by people closest to the child is a concerning condition, which should be the child's closest environment to teach, protect, educate and direct children to grow and develop into good child behavior. The obstacle in the implementation of chemical castration for perpetrators of sexualcrimes against children is that chemical castration is a punishment rule that has only been legalized for the first time in Indonesia, so further research is needed on the advantages and disadvantages of implementing chemical castration, in the State Gazette Number 5882 does not contain a clear explanation regarding the technical instructions for the execution of chemical castration, the rejection of the Indonesian Doctors Association to carry out the execution because it violates the Doctor's Oath, the Indonesian Medical Code of Ethics and Human Rights, there is no party willing to be appointed as the executor of chemical castration, because basically the prosecutor has the authority to execute but is not authorized to execute if the punishment is outside the prosecutor's duties
