INTRODUCTION
Crimes of decency are crimes that often happen to women and children.
Not only is it an act that violates norms, crimes of decency also often traumatize victims and are crimes that attack honor.
There are eighteen types of crimes against decency as regulated in Book II Chapter XIV of the Criminal Code from Article 281 to Article 299 such as rape, sexual harassment in public places, sexual intercourse between a man and a woman, one or both of whom are in a marital relationship, rape when the victim is helpless and sexual violence against a minor.

In the process of implementation, law enforcement starts from the process of investigation, arrest and detention carried out by the Police, prosecution carried out by the Prosecutor's Office, examination at trial and court decisions made by Judges and the implementation of court decisions carried out by the Correctional Institution.
All of these sub-systems must run well so that law enforcement can be carried out to create justice and public welfare.

September 2024 in the form of criminal sanctions for anyone who violates or implements the prohibition or legal provisions referred to.
Meanwhile, the sanctions that will be received for those who violate them have been determined by laws and regulations.
Criminology is a science that aims to investigate crime as broadly as possible, crime is an act, which society .
n this case the stat.
punishes, a description that does not provide further explanation as well as formal definitions in general.
Looking deeper to the core, a crime is a subset of acts that are contrary to decency.
What is meant here is an act that is only considered evil according to its form.
Crimes committed by someone need serious attention, both by law enforcement and by the community itself, considering that this act will cause harm to others, especially the Criminologists argue that crime is difficult and even impossible to eliminate.
What can be done is to reduce the rate of crime itself by involving the community and law enforcement itself.
Countermeasures have certainly also been made by law enforcers to prevent and overcome crime.
The incident of sexual abuse with a victim who is still underage will certainly have a bad influence on the children who are victims of the criminal act of sexual abuse of the Physical damage, mental damage will certainly be experienced by children who are victims of the criminal act.
Thus, the actions committed by this perpetrator have violated the human rights of children which should have been stated in the Child Protection Law.
accordance with Article 76 E of Law Number 35 of 2014 concerning Amendments to Law Number 23 of 2002 concerning Child Protection which states that every person is prohibited from committing a series of lies, or inducing a child to commit or allow obscene acts to be So that in this case it is necessary to get special attention regarding what factors are behind a perpetrator committing the crime of child abuse.
The protection of Indonesian children means protecting the potential of human resources and building Indonesian human beings as a whole, towards a just and prosperous society, materially and spiritually based on Pancasila and the 1945 Constitution.
The crime of child sexual abuse is an act of sexual intercourse by force or violence against a child and there are also criminal acts of sexual abuse that do not use coercion.
Criminal Law Protection for Indonesian children, violence rather than by means of trickumuslihat, lure and others in order to fulfill their sexual desires, therefore, suppressing the number of criminal acts of sexual abuse of minors is a rare that is very appropriate in doing a form of protection against children from mistreatment of others.
As a result, the perpetrator's actions can cause physical and psychological trauma to the victim, especially for children who are less than 18 .
years old.
To provide good protection for children in Indonesia from criminal acts that often occur, regulations are needed that guarantee legal protection for children, these protection efforts have been regulated in the Criminal Code (KUHP).
Meanwhile, the Criminal Code states that the act of sexual abuse is contained in Article 289 of the Criminal Code which states that:
"Any person who by force or threat of force forces someone to do or allows someone to do an act shall, being guilty of an offense against decency, be punished by a maximum imprisonment of nine years".
Sexual abuse committed against minors will certainly have an impact on the psychological and other development of the child.
The psychological impact on children will give birth to prolonged trauma which can then give birth to unhealthy attitudes, such as inferiority, excessive fear, impaired mental development, and ultimately result in mental This situation may become a bad memory for the child victim of sexual abuse.
The active role of law enforcement officials in tackling crimes of decency is needed.
The increasing number of crimes against children must be anticipated by functioning criminal law 2336 | P a g e https://dinastires.

Crime prevention and countermeasures:
Pre-emptive countermeasures Pre-emtive countermeasures are initial efforts made by the police to provide prevention of crime so that it is commonly referred to as early prevention.
The efforts made in pre-emtif countermeasures are to instill good values / norms so that these norms are internalized in a person, even though there is an opportunity to commit a crime / violation but there is no intention to commit a crime / violation.
Preventive countermeasures Preventive countermeasures are a follow-up to pre-emptive efforts that aim to prevent, reduce and eliminate crime.
In this effort, the emphasis is on eliminating opportunities for The efforts to overcome the preventive crime of sexual abuse are as follows:

Appeal to the public to immediately report to the authorities if there are suspicious matters relating to sex and victims of sexual abuse.
Repressive countermeasures Repressive countermeasures are efforts made by the authorities after the occurrence of a crime such as taking action against the perpetrators in accordance with their actions and correcting them so that they realize that the actions committed are unlawful and detrimental to society, so that they return to society and do not commit crimes again.
Efforts to prevent and overcome crime are a struggle of the state and Indonesian society in realizing the ideals of development, namely realizing a just and prosperous society that is evenly distributed materially and spiritually based on Pancasila and the Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia.
In tackling the crime of child abuse in a repressive manner, the results of interviews with members of the Criminal Investigation Unit of the Teluk Bintuni Police are explained as follows:

arents figh.
, families of drunks, families of gamblers, parents are busy and so on.

Information technology factor The development of technology certainly has an influence on life.
The influence includes two sides, namely positive influence and negative influence.
We return the impacts of globalization to ourselves as a young generation to maintain ethics and culture, so that we are not exposed to the negative effects of globalization.
However, unfiltered information makes it uncreative, consumptive behavior and makes a closed attitude and narrow thinking.
This leads to imitating bad behavior.
Easily influenced by things that are not in accordance with the habits or culture of a country that is not in accordance with existing norms.
Victim role factors The role of the victim or the attitude of the victim is very decisive for someone to commit a crime against him, including immoral crimes.
From the results of the interview, it was found that the victim who was underage was a neighbor of the perpetrator, where the victim almost every day after school played at the PS Rental owned by the perpetrator so that the victim and the perpetrator often interacted.
From this interaction the victim often asked for pocket money and asked to play PS for free, so the perpetrator took advantage of the Biological factors of the perpetrator Biological factors, namely the desire to channel sexual needs, but it is done in violation of the law or not in the right place, such as the perpetrator of the crime of child abuse who said that the reason behind committing child abuse was because he did not have a wife as a place to channel his sexual desires and needs.
