Abstract

Tindak pidana yang semakin berkembang saat ini yaitu kejahatan seksual khususnya terhadap anak. Anak merupakan seseorang yang belum berusia 18 tahun termasuk anak yang masih dalam kandungan. Penyelesaian tindak pidana kekerasan seksual secara hukum belum dapat terpenuhinya hak korban. Oleh karena itu, perlu ada upaya lain yang terintegrasi dalam penyelesaian kasus kejahatan seksual yaitu melalui konsep restorative justice. Yang dimana upaya penyelesaian perkara kepidanaan menekankan kepada kondisi terciptanya keadilan dan keseimbangan antar hak-hak korban dan pelaku tindak pidana. Permasalahan dalam penelitian ini adalah bagaimana pengaturan penerapan prinsip restorative justice pada kasus kekerasan seksual terhadap anak, bagaimana penyelesaian kasus kekerasan seksual terhadap anak melalui penerapan pendekatan restorative justice? dan bagaimana faktor penghambat dalam penerapan restorative justice sebagai penyelesaian tindak pidana kekerasan seksual terhadap anak?. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah penelitian yuridis normatif dengan pendekatan undang-undang (statue approach) dan pendekatan kasus (case approach) yang diambil dari data sekunder yang bersifat deskriptif analisis. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan pengaturan hukum dalam penerapan restorative justice mengacu kepada Undang-undang Nomor 11 tahun 2012 tentang Sistem Peradilan Pidana Anak dan Peraturan Kapolri Nomor 8 tahun 2021 tentang restorative justice. Penyelesaian kasus kekerasan seksual terhadap anak melalui penerapan restorative justice dapat dilakukan jika ada kesepakatan para pihak, baik korban maupun pelaku. Tanpa adanya kesepakatan damai para pihak maka upaya restorative justice tidak terlaksanakan dan penyelesaian dilanjutkan melalui jalur litigasi. Faktor penghambat dalam penerapan restorative justice sebagai upaya penyelesaian kekerasan seksual terhadap anak adalah ketidaktahuan masyarakat mengenai keadilan restoratif, Criminal acts that are increasingly developing today are sexual crimes, especially against children. Child is someone who is not yet 18 years old, including children who are still in the womb. Completion criminal acts of sexual violence legally has not been able to fulfill the rights victims. Therefore, there needs another effort that is integrated in solving sexual crime cases, namely through concept restorative justice. Where efforts resolve criminal cases emphasize conditions for creating justice and balance between rights of victims and perpetrators criminal acts. Problem in this research is how regulate application principles restorative justice in cases sexual violence against children, how resolve cases sexual violence against children through the application of a restorative justice approach? and what are the inhibiting factors in the application of restorative justice as a settlement for crimes of sexual violence against children? The method used in this study is normative juridical research with a statutory approach and a case approach taken from secondary data which is descriptive analysis in nature. The results of the study show that legal arrangements in the application of restorative justice refer to Law Number 11 of 2012 concerning the Juvenile Criminal Justice System and Regulation of the Indonesian National Police Number 8 of 2021 regarding restorative justice. Settlement of cases of sexual violence against children through the application of restorative justice can be done if there is an agreement between the parties, both victims and perpetrators. Without an amicable agreement between the parties, restorative justice efforts will not be carried out and the settlement will proceed through litigation. The inhibiting factors in the application of restorative justice as an effort to resolve sexual violence against children are the ignorance of the community about restorative justice, the participation of victims in resolving cases and the problem of paying fines.
