Abstract

Children are the next generation of the nation who must be guaranteed the right to the best growth and development. Child exploitation is an act that harms other parties by forcibly utilizing children for the benefit of one party. In Indonesia, many children are exploited by those closest to them, including their families. The forms of child exploitation include three forms, namely physical exploitation, social exploitation, and sexual exploitation. The purpose of this research is to find out the criminal law provisions regarding child exploitation through criminal law provisions, including procedures and legal sanctions. The method used in this research is the normative legal method. That is, research on various legal sources, both primary, secondary, and tertiary sources. The method of collecting legal data is based on library research and journal-based document research. In the legal framework, child exploitation is regulated in the Child Protection Law No. 23 of 2002, which has regulated criminal sanctions for exploiters. However, law enforcers still face various obstacles, including lack of understanding and awareness of the community, lack of resources of law enforcement officers and corruption is also one of the obstacles. To overcome this problem, the government needs to improve education for children, increase the resource capacity of law enforcement officers and strengthen monitoring mechanisms. This step is expected to increase the effectiveness of law enforcement and better protect children from exploitation.
