Reformulasi Sanksi Kebiri Kimia bagi Pelaku Kekerasan Seksual terhadap Anak: Perspektif Kriminologi

Introduction

Reformulasi sanksi kebiri kimia bagi pelaku kekerasan seksual terhadap anak: perspektif kriminologi . Menganalisis reformulasi sanksi kebiri kimia bagi pelaku kekerasan seksual anak di Indonesia dari perspektif kriminologi. Menyoroti peningkatan kasus, waktu pelaksanaan, dan harmonisasi penegakan hukum.

Abstract

Statistik kriminal mengenai kekerasan seksual terhadap anak di Indonesia dari tahun 2016 hingga 2019 menunjukkan peningkatan yang signifikan. Namun, angka ini diyakini belum mencerminkan keseluruhan realitas, karena kemungkinan masih banyak kasus yang tidak tercatat atau tidak teridentifikasi oleh otoritas maupun masyarakat, yang dikenal sebagai kejahatan tersembunyi (hidden crime). Reformulasi sanksi kebiri kimia terhadap pelaku kekerasan seksual terhadap anak menetapkan bahwa pelaksanaan kebiri kimia dilakukan dua tahun sebelum masa hukuman pokok berakhir. Penetapan waktu ini disebabkan oleh keterbatasan medis terkait durasi efektivitas suntikan kebiri kimia dalam tubuh terpidana. Selain itu, perlu adanya harmonisasi dan sinergi dalam proses pelaksanaan agar tidak terjadi tumpang tindih yang dapat menimbulkan kebingungan di antara aparat penegak hukum.

Review

This paper, "Reformulasi Sanksi Kebiri Kimia bagi Pelaku Kekerasan Seksual terhadap Anak: Perspektif Kriminologi," addresses a highly pertinent and critical issue within the Indonesian legal and social landscape: the reformulation of chemical castration sanctions for perpetrators of child sexual abuse. The abstract effectively highlights the alarming increase in reported cases of child sexual violence from 2016-2019, while crucially acknowledging the significant challenge of "hidden crime," suggesting the true scale of the problem is far greater. The study's focus on a criminological perspective promises to offer insights into the rationale and implications of such punitive measures, specifically concerning the timing of the chemical castration sanction – two years before the primary sentence concludes – a decision driven by identified medical limitations regarding the drug's effectiveness duration. The strength of this work lies in its immediate relevance and its practical, problem-solving approach to a complex and sensitive issue. By pinpointing a specific medical constraint regarding the efficacy period of chemical castration, the abstract suggests a nuanced understanding that aims for effective and well-timed implementation, rather than merely outlining punitive intent. Furthermore, the call for "harmonisasi dan sinergi" among law enforcement agencies to prevent confusion and overlap in execution is particularly commendable, indicating a holistic consideration for the operational success of such a policy. Addressing this issue from a criminological lens positions the paper to offer analytical depth regarding the potential deterrent, incapacitative, or even rehabilitative (though controversial in this context) effects of the sanction, thus serving as a valuable contribution to policy discussions. While the abstract provides a strong foundation, the full paper would benefit from further elaboration in several key areas. A deeper dive into the specific criminological theories or frameworks that support the proposed reformulation, beyond just the medical limitations, would significantly enhance its impact. What specific criminological goals (e.g., specific deterrence, general deterrence, incapacitation) is this particular timing intended to achieve, and how? Additionally, exploring comparative experiences from other jurisdictions that have implemented or considered similar sanctions could provide valuable context and lessons learned. Clarification on the exact nature of the "reformulation"—whether it constitutes a proposed legal amendment, a policy guideline, or an interpretative framework for existing regulations—would also sharpen the paper's policy implications and practical applicability. Finally, the full discussion should ideally touch upon the significant ethical and human rights considerations inherent in chemical castration, as these are critical components of any robust criminological and legal discourse on such interventions.
