Child Trafficking: An Issue for Criminal Law Reform in Indonesia
Abstract
This paper aims to examine the problems with Indonesia’s proposed criminal law reform. It is a legal normative research kind. It can be obtained by using a literature study. The implementation of this research is limited to how the development orientation to find issues of child trafficking relates to reform of the criminal law. The orientation of reforming national criminal law cannot be contradicted by another regulation. Crime, criminal responsibility, and sentence are the three main problems in criminal law that represent the concept of balance. The issue of national criminal law reform for child trafficking is based on political, practical, and sociological considerations. The urgency of preventing and eradicating child trafficking needs to be carried out by formulating trafficking in persons in the Law No. 1 of 2023 Concerning Penal Code in an explicit, firm, and well-substantiated manner, as well as by including the meaning, scope, and limitations trafficking in person, including child trafficking.
