Abstract

Crimes that occur in the community consist of various forms that develop according to the times. One of the crimes that often occur around us is the exploitation of children. It is prohibited by legislation in Indonesia. In Article 13 of Law Number 35 of 2014 concerning Child Protection, it is stated that every child during the care of parents, guardians, or any other party responsible for care, is entitled to protection from exploitation treatment both economically and / or sexually. This study discusses several issues regarding criminal responsibility, factors and the role of law enforcement officers in taking action against child victims of exploitation. This research is analytical descriptive, so that a detailed and systematic description of the problems to be studied is obtained. Factors that cause exploitation of children are economic, social and environment. The form of sanctions against perpetrators of child exploitation is contained in Article 59 of Law No. 35 of 2014 which requires the government and society to be responsible for providing protection to children who are exploited both economically and / or sexually. One of problem that occurs is the ability of law officers to understand child law. Therefore that can be done by socializing to the public about the importance of children's rights and sanctioning perpetrators of child exploitation. Suggestions that can be given are parents and employers should review if hiring children and the government should socialize the law relating to criminal acts of child exploitation to the community.
