<p>The act of chemical castration is now one of the sanctions in Indonesia's positive law. However, it is still limited to child protection based on Law Number 17 of 2016, which can be imposed on perpetrators of sexual crimes against children if the victim is more than one person, is seriously injured, has mental disorders, suffers from infectious diseases, reproductive system disorders, and lose their life. This paper analyzes criminal policy and people's reactions to castration concerning the objectives of punishment. This research is doctrinal research as prescriptive research using a legal approach regarding legal categories regarding castration, the relationship between rules, difficulties that arise and predicting future developments on criminal policy regarding castration in positive law as one of the new sanctions in the criminal system. The results of the study is that the birth of chemical castration in criminal policy reform is based on a balance between the interests of child victims of sexual crimes and perpetrators of crime, but its existence in positive law does not necessarily make the whole community accept even though the pros and cons of castration are still balanced based on the purpose of punishment based on Pancasila. The recommendations put forward are the need for socialization of castration for all levels of society in a balance between the interests of child victims of sexual crimes and the interests of criminals, increasing non-penal efforts and the application of selective castration sanctions, and providing assistance for child victims of sexual crimes.</p>

Children are still victims of sexual violence by perpetrators who are stronger than victims. Children who are victims of sexual violence have a negative impact on the psychic and mental, so that children will have trauma that is difficult to be eliminated or even prolonged trauma. So that the government established the Law Number 17 of 2016 concerning the Establishment of the Government Regulation in Lieu of Law Number 1 of 2016 concerning the Second Amendment to Law Number 23 of 2002 concerning Child Protection into Law. In the laws and regulations, it has been regulated regarding the castration penalty of chemistry. Indonesia is a country that still upholds all human rights possessed by every community in Indonesia without discrimination. This chemical castration execution raises the pros and cons in people's lives. So this chemical castration is considered to have violated the Human Rights of perpetrators of sexual violence against children. This research wants to dig deeper about the use of chemical castration punishment in perpetrators of recurrent crimes in the human rights perspective. This study uses normative research methods with conceptual and legislative approaches. Chemical castration has not been one of the effective penalties and provides a deterrent for perpetrators of sexual violence, so the laws governing chemical castration punishment need to be reviewed.Anak masih menjadi korban kekerasan seksual yang dilakukan oleh para pelaku yang lebih kuat dari korban. Anak yang menjadi korban kekerasan seksual mendapatkan dampak yang negatif terhadap psikis dan batinnya, sehingga anak akan memiliki trauma yang susah untuk dihilangkan atau bahkan trauma tersebut berkepanjangan. Sehingga pemerintah membentuk peraturan Undang-Undang Nomor 17 tahun 2016 tentang Penetapan Peraturan Pemerintah Pengganti Undang-Undang Nomor 1 tahun 2016 tentang Perubahan Kedua atas Undang-undang Nomor 23 tahun 2002 tentang Perlindungan Anak menjadi Undang-Undang. Didalam peraturan perundang-undangan tersebut, telah diatur tentang hukuman kebiri kimia. Indonesia adalah negara yang masih menjunjung setiap Hak Asasi Manusia yang dimiliki oleh setiap masyarakat di Indonesia tanpa adanya diskriminasi. Eksekusi kebiri kimia ini menimbulkan pro dan kontra didalam kehidupan masyarakat. Sehingga kebiri kimia ini dianggap telah melanggar Hak Asasi Manusia dari pelaku kekerasan seksual terhadap anak. Penelitian ini ingin menggali lebih dalam tentang penggunaan hukuman kebiri kimia pada pelaku kejahatan berulang dalam persektif hak asasi manusia. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian normative dengan endekatan konseptual dan perundang-undangan. Kebiri kimia belum menjadi salah satu hukuman yang efektif dan membuat jera untuk pelaku kekerasan seksual, Sehingga undang-undang yang mengatur tentang hukuman kebiri kimia perlu dikaji ulang.

Abstrak Country can be said to be a state if elements of the state have been fulfilled. One of the most fundamental elements is the existence of the people. The existence of the people means that there are people who live and become subjects of government and enforced rules. Without rules, the consequence is that there will be a large number of crimes that cannot be overcome. Therefore criminal law exists to optimize a regulation and implementation in the community. In the constitution of the Indonesian state, there has been guaranteed the rights of everyone from the right to life, the right not to be tortured, the right to religion and human rights that cannot be reduced in any case. But with Article 81 A paragraph (3) of Law No. 17 of 2016 concerning the second amendment to Law No. 3 of 2002 concerning Child Protection.

In Article 28 B paragraph (2) of the Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia, it is stated that the State guarantees the rights of children to survival, to grow and develop and to protect them from violence and discrimination. Along with the rapid flow of globalization and the negative impact of the development of information technology and telecommunications, sexual violence against children is increasing. The Indonesian Child Protection Commission (KPAI), stated that in 2015 there were 218 cases, in 2016 there were 120 cases, and in 2017 there were 116 cases. To address the phenomenon of sexual violence against children, the President of Indonesia issued a Government Regulation in Lieu of Law No. 17 of 2016, which was subsequently upgraded to Law namely Law No. 17 of 2016 concerning Stipulation of Government Regulation in lieu of Law No. 1 of 2016 concerning the second Amendment to Law No. 23 of 2002 concerning Child Protection becomes Law. The contents of criminal offenses against perpetrators of criminal acts of sexual violence against children can be subject to additional criminal sanctions in the form of announcing the identity of the perpetrators, and can be subjected to acts of chemical castration accompanied by rehabilitation and installation of electronic detectors. The basic consideration for the issuance of this Perppu is to minimize sexual crimes, give a deterrent effect to perpetrators of sexual crimes and prevent any intention for anyone to commit sexual crimes. However, the issuance of this Perppu invites pros and cons of how to implement it, considering that until now there has been no further Government Regulation regulating, especially the Indonesian Medical Association has refused to do chemical castration. This paper wants to explore the existence of the Perppu seen from the study of criminal law politics.

Corporate crime is a unique crime against which excellent deterrence should be combated. However, these efforts are inversely proportional to the criminal law policies that serve as the basis for their implementation. The KUHP, the key pillar of the statute, merely acknowledges natural persons as subjects of criminal law. And they do not regard companies as criminal law topics. Crime laws must also be renewed. On this basis, a criminal policy will be discussed in Indonesia about the criminal liability scheme. The results of studies indicate that criminalization of all types of corporate crime was regarded as a crime according to positive criminal law in Indonesia. The relationship between one and the other criminal code differs however. The Criminal Code notes that the crime modes sometimes perpetrated by the companies were considered a criminal offense but should be performed by a normal individual. In other words, it may be claimed that companies have not been considered subjects of criminal law by the Criminal Code. However, in some criminal law laws out of the Criminal Code, companies have been treated as targets of criminal legislation and should be responsible for their acts. In Indonesia, the criminal liability scheme introduced by the Positive Legislation seeks to identify and delegate hypotheses where the errors and the source of authorities they have are assessed. The requirements in one criminal law and the other, however, are comprehensively different. For instance, a criminal must not be the manager, but someone who does anything in or for the sake of a company and the act is carried out within the framework of a corporation. It is not, however, expressly specified by the draft Law on the Criminal Code that the criminal is convicted so as to understand that the criminal is not liable for the crime he commits because criminal liabilities were transferred to the company. The draft Criminal Code Act (RKUHP) has accommodated companies as subjects of criminal law and arranged procedures for criminal liability. It can be seen from the principle of the renewal of criminal law that future criminal law would regard business offences as criminal actions and that penal penalties will be imposed on the company. The established provisions clearly show that the model and philosophy embraced are the doctrines of vicarious responsibility, even though there are shortcomings in the model.
