This research aims to criminalize both traditional commercial sex workers and service users using a legislative approach, conceptual approach, and comparative legal approach to address criminal issues faced by traditional commercial sex workers and users in Indonesia, one of which is the criminalization of all individuals involved in such practices, such as service users of prostitution who are not clearly regulated, although the government has made efforts through existing local regulations. The type of research used is juridical-normative or often referred to as doctrinal legal research. Several regions in Indonesia, such as DKI Jakarta, Indramayu Regency, Tangerang City, Denpasar City, Badung Regency in Bali, Batam City, and Bandung Regency, have issued local regulations criminalizing service users of prostitution in their respective areas. However, these regulations vary and impose lenient penalties on commercial sex workers and service users. Therefore, we need to study the Netherlands in addressing issues related to prostitution, which can ensnare both perpetrators and commercial sex workers.
