This study aims to determine the form of legal protection for children as victims of sexual harassment and the implementation, constraints and solutions that affect the implementation of legal protection against children as victims of sexual harassment in the Police Resort Barelang City, Batam City. The writing of this thesis is empirical with data collection techniques derived from literature studies and interviews with the Deputy Chief of Criminal Investigation and Head of Sub-Department of Women and Children Services (PPA) of Barelang Police in Batam City. Furthermore, to analyze the data obtained using qualitative analysis methods which are then presented descriptively. The results of research and discussion indicate that criminal acts that include sexual crimes that can occur against children one of which is sexual harassment. Indonesia already has a legal basis to provide protection for children in conflict with the law as outlined in Law Number 35 of 2014 concerning Child Protection, but the law is considered to be not in accordance with the legal needs in society and has not comprehensively provided special protection for children in conflict with the law and also have not had a significant impact on reducing the level of child sexual abuse. The suggestion in this study is that law enforcement officials starting from the level of investigation in the police to the trial process in providing protection for child victims of violence must improve coordination in order to fulfill the rights of victims to be protected, because the protection of child victims of violence is a joint obligation .
