12 of 2022 concerning Criminal Acts of Sexual Violence (Law No. 12 of 2022) the
perpetrators only received punishment in the form of penal means, but the
fulfillment of the rights of victims as parties who were harmed and suffered tended
not to be fulfilled. This research was conducted to determine and analyze the legal
protection of victims of sexual violence based on Law No. 12 of 2022 at the Depok
Metro Police and the inhibiting factors in the implementation of legal protection of
victims of sexual violence based on Law No. 12 of 2022 at the Depok Metro Police.
This research uses descriptive analysis research specifications with an empirical
juridical approach method, data sources in the form of primary data and secondary
data. The data is presented systematically and analyzed using qualitative methods
with content analysis method. Based on the results of the research, it is known that
the Women and Children Service Unit of the Depok Metro Police in terms of
providing legal protection to victims of sexual violence has not been
comprehensively in accordance with Law No. 12 of 2022, because some rights have
not been implemented by the Women and Children Service Unit of the Depok Metro
Police, and there are several inhibiting factors in providing legal protection to
victims of sexual violence, including the Women and Children Service Unit of the
Depok Metro Police lacking investigators, there is no definite mechanism for
providing legal protection to victims because the implementing regulations of Law
No. 12 of 2022 have not been ratified, and victim testimony is difficult to extract.
Depok Metro Police needs to immediately build a Special Service Room and
increase the number of investigators in the Women and Children Service Unit.
