Law Enforcement for Perpetrators of Sexual Harassment of Elementary School Students from a Criminal Justice Perspective

The rule of law is applied to perpetrators of sexual harassment against students who will be punished. This study aims to provide a deterrent effect to perpetrators of sexual harassment so as not to do it again, prevent others from doing it, and provide justice to victims of sexual harassment. This research uses a quantitative descriptive approach. Perpetrators of sexual harassment against children in Cimacan State Elementary School, Cianjur Regency are the variables studied. This research has obtained an approval letter from the Cianjur District Education Office. Sampling also involved the parents of the school students. The results showed that the government of the Republic of Indonesia made Law number 23 of 2002 concerning Child Protection to protect children in Indonesia. Articles 46, 47, and 48 of Law No. 23 of 2004 on the Elimination of Domestic Violence regulate law enforcement against perpetrators of sexual abuse against children, including fines and imprisonment for a minimum of three years and a maximum of fifteen years. Several articles in the Criminal Code regulate law enforcement against perpetrators of sexual abuse against children, such as Adultery; Rape; Murder; and Molestation.

The Saturation- and Dose-Dependent Effects of a Teen Sexual Harassment Prevention Program: Findings from a Randomized Controlled Trial.

Using a randomized controlled trial, we investigated changes in both sexual harassment (SH) perpetration and victimization of 2104 middle school students in New York City who received divergent saturation and dosage levels of Shifting Boundaries, an SH prevention program, which was represented by the length of the program. We assessed the saturation effect of the program by comparing the outcomes across respondents from 26 schools in which there were varying percentages of students enrolled in the program. The data suggested that, overall, the program was effective in reducing sexual harassment victimization but achieved a null effect against respondents' SH perpetration and that neither the length nor the school-saturation level of the program exerted a significant effect on SH perpetration. Although the data indicated a significant difference in SH victimization between the treatment and control group, when comparing subgroups who received treatment with divergent saturation and dosage levels, no statistically significant difference was identified. Our results suggested that the program effect was not contingent on the portion of students in a school who enrolled in the program, nor was it contingent on the dosage.

Sexual harassment is an unexpected and unwanted action, but the rise of sexual harassment in society cannot be covered up starting from verbal and nonverbal actions. This research is a type of descriptive qualitative research that uses qualitative research methods and uses a phenomenological approach. We can know that the perpetrators of sexual harassment are dominated by men, but it is unfortunate that even though this sexual harassment has been widely known by the wider community and the authorities still cannot take serious attention or take legal action quickly.

Sexual Harassment in International Law

Sexual harassment within the realm of international law is a multifaceted and intricate matter, impacting numerous individuals worldwide annually. This article seeks to examine and assess the difficulties and potential advancements in safeguarding those affected by sexual violence on a global scale. By conducting a comprehensive examination of diverse international legal instruments, such as the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW), the Convention on Human Rights, various regional agreements, and UN resolutions, the authors highlight the pivotal role that international organizations play in combatting sexual harassment. The article also underscores the legal enforcement challenges and the accountability of sexual harassment perpetrators at the international level. The lack of uniformity in the definition and punishment of sexual misconduct across different countries, along with restrictions on victims' access to the legal system, pose hindrances to effectively addressing this issue. Nonetheless, despite these obstacles, the article presents optimistic prospects concerning the advocacy efforts of civil society and the growing global awareness of the problem of sexual harassment. In transcending national borders, international initiatives aimed at addressing sexual harassment are gaining increasing significance to establish a safe and violence-free global environment.

Criminal Liability of Perpetrators of Criminal Acts of Sexual Harassment Against Children

In today's world, the sustainability of children's lives, growth, and development is often threatened by actions that degrade human dignity. One of the most disturbing forms of violation of human dignity is cases of sexual harassment against children. Children are particularly vulnerable to acts of cruelty and sexual crimes. Perpetrators of sexual violence often pose a significant threat to children, even though they are aware of the legal consequences. The purpose of this writing is to explore the criminal liability for the actions of perpetrators of sexual harassment against children using a juridical-normative method. The research findings indicate that the criminal liability for sexual harassment against children can be attributed to individuals or the perpetrators themselves. This responsibility is not exempt from the burden of proof, as the elements of criminal liability must be established. Furthermore, it is crucial to consider aspects of criminal liability, such as the ability to be held accountable, guilt, and the absence of legal excuses.

Data Mining Clustering Korban Kejahatan Pelecehan Seksual dengan Kekerasan Berdasarkan Provinsi Menggunakan Metode AHC

Sexual harassment is one of the most common crimes in Indonesia recently. Acts of sexual harassment can occur in everyday life regardless of time, whether at work, on the street, or at home. Women are often the victims of sexual harassment, although men can experience the same. Perpetrators of sexual harassment can come from people we don't know, people who have hatred, even people we care about. Lack of religious and moral education, and technological developments that allow easy access to pornographic content are contributing factors to sexual harassment. To overcome this problem, fast action is needed in places where sexual harassment often occurs through socialization so that people are more vigilant when they are in these places. Apart from that, it is necessary to improve security in the area and provide consultation places such as psychologists. To identify places that are prone to sexual harassment in Indonesia, a data mining method is applied by utilizing previous data. The clustering method used is AHC using the complete linkage mode (longest distance) between the initial clusters. The final results of this research involve a manual process and the appropriate RapidMiner application, so that new clusters can be formed using RapidMiner. There are 5 provinces included in cluster 0, then there are 17 provinces in cluster 1, and 12 provinces in cluster 2

Penjatuhan Hukuman Cambuk Terhadap Pelaku Pelecehan Seksual Terhadap Anak

Decision Number 6/JN/2023/MS.Lsk sentenced perpetrators of sexual abuse of children to be whipped 35 times. This sentence is different from the Supreme Court Circular and the Attorney General Circular which require prison sentences for perpetrators if the victim is a child in cases of sexual abuse and rape. The research aims to analyze why the panel of judges sentenced them to caning and how to protect children. The research method used is normative juridical research method. The primary legal material is in the form of decision Number 6/JN/2023/MS.Lsk, Jinayat Law Qanun and Jinayat Procedural Law Qanun. Data analysis was carried out qualitatively by providing an interpretation of primary legal materials and secondary legal materials. The results of the study show that the imposition of caning punishment on perpetrators of sexual harassment whose victims are children has not been in favor of child protection. The imposition of caning was in accordance with the QHJ and QHAJ, because the judge was given the authority to impose a sentence according to the prosecutor's demands or differently. However, this does not pay attention to SEMA Number 10 of 2020 which wants prison sentences for perpetrators of sexual abuse of children.

Youth Sport Coaches’ Perceptions of Sexually Inappropriate Behaviors and Intimate Coach-Athlete Relationships

ABSTRACT Although sexual harassment and abuse in youth sport have received increasing research attention worldwide, less is known about youth coaches’ perceptions of sexually inappropriate behaviors and intimate relationships with athletes. The purpose of this exploratory study was to examine youth sport coaches’ perceptions of behaviors that can lead to potential sexual harassment and abuse, as well as to understand how coaches perceive coach-athlete sexual relationships. A cross-sectional survey was completed by 200 male coaches from various U.S. youth sport programs. Overall, a majority of coaches indicated behaviors associated with sexist comments and verbal/physical advances as sexually inappropriate. There was, however, a lack of consensus regarding what constitutes sexually inappropriate behaviors when the behavior was instruction-related/contextually dependent. Results were mixed regarding the perceptions of coach-athlete sexual relationships, with a notable number of coaches agreeing that sexual intimacies with young athletes (17 years or younger) are not always harmful and should not be prohibited. Based on a regression analysis, white coaches were more likely to exhibit negative perceptions about coach-athlete sexual relationships compared to ethnically diverse coaches. Overall, these findings warrant the development or reevaluation of policies and interventions aimed at preventing sexual harassment and abuse in the youth sport environment. Continued research is needed to better understand youth sport coaches as the perpetrators of sexual harassment and abuse.

Examining Longitudinal Associations Between Future Orientation and Multiple Forms of Youth Violence Perpetration

PurposeFuture orientation, defined as hopes and aspirations for the future, is gaining promise as a cross-cutting protective factor against youth violence. This study assessed how future orientation longitudinally predicted multiple forms of violence perpetration among minoritized male youth in neighborhoods made vulnerable by concentrated disadvantage. MethodsData were drawn from a sexual violence (SV) prevention trial among 817 predominately African American male youth, ages 13 to 19, residing in neighborhoods disproportionately impacted by community violence. We used latent class analysis to create baseline future orientation profiles of participants. Mixed effects models examined how future orientation classes predicted multiple forms of violence perpetration (i.e., weapon violence, bullying, sexual harassment, non-partner SV, and intimate partner SV) at 9-month follow-up. ResultsLatent class analysis yielded four classes, with nearly 80% of youth belonging to moderately high and high future orientation classes. We found significant overall associations between latent class and weapon violence, bullying, sexual harassment, non-partner SV, and SV (all p < .01). While patterns of association differed across each type of violence, violence perpetration was consistently highest among youth in the low-moderate future orientation class. Compared to youth in the low future orientation class, youth in the low-moderate class had higher odds of bullying (odds ratio 3.51, 95% confidence interval: 1.56–7.91) and sexual harassment perpetration (odds ratio 3.44, 95% confidence interval: 1.49–7.94). DiscussionThe longitudinal relationship between future orientation and youth violence may not be linear. Greater attention to nuanced patterns of future orientation may better inform interventions seeking to harness this protective factor to reduce youth violence.

Law Implementation of Body Shaming that Leads to Sexual Harassment Against Women in Social Media

Beauty is the main reason for someone, especially a woman, to look stunning. A woman who feels beautiful uploading a photo of herself often experiences body shaming in the form of hate speech and bad comments through social media. It leads to sexual harassment. The Indonesian government passes the Violence Crime Act on Sexual Harassment (TPKS) which is expected to be a brand-new breakthrough in the Indonesian legal system. As well as the existence of restorative justice, it is hoped that it will also be one of the breakthroughs in the legal world by seeking a solution by emphasizing re-election to its original state. Not many women are well-aware of this new regulation. It is hoped that more awareness of this regulation to be well-spread, and that it can create determent effects for perpetrators of sexual harassment against women on social media. Using normative juridical qualitative method in compiling this research, the writer explains how effective the new regulation is for Indonesian women.

Initial Test of a Model of Men’s Sexual Harassment Perpetration: Examining Indirect Effects of Social Dominance Orientation through Social Norms and Gender Role Discrepancy Stress

ABSTRACT Prior research is limited in the study of correspondence between online and in-person forms of sexual harassment (SH) among adult men as well as correlates of these behaviors. The present study assesses whether social dominance orientation (SDO; i.e., the tendency to reject equality and support hierarchy-legitimizing myths and behaviors) might be associated with increases in SH perpetration both online and in-person, perhaps through increases in perceived social support for SH and masculine gender role discrepancy stress. Among a sample of U.S. adult men (N = 167), results indicated that there were indirect effects of SDO on both in-person and online SH through increases in perceived social norms but not through masculine gender role discrepancy stress. A competing model, in which SDO mediates these associations, was not supported. Results support the use of social norms approaches to target perceived social norms, if these results are replicated within temporal designs.

The Development of Perpetration and Tolerance of Sexual Harassment

The sexual harassment of girls and women is a common occurrence that begins in early adolescence and continues into adulthood. Not only is experiencing sexual harassment common, but it is also widely accepted and tolerated. In the current article, we use the bioecological theory of sexual harassment of girls to explain why this may be. Specifically, we discuss that the perpetration and tolerance of sexual harassment is built on a foundation of gendered socialization, media consumption, peer interactions, and permissive school environments that encourages passivity and objectification in girls and aggressiveness and dominance in boys. We outline how this process begins in infancy and continues throughout development, ultimately fostering an environment in which the sexual harassment of girls and women flourishes. Important implications for preventing sexual harassment are also discussed.

An RCT of Sources of Strength High School Primary Prevention Program on Sexual Violence Perpetration and Victimization and Dismissiveness of Sexual Harassment

Sexual violence among adolescents is a major concern. This study examined the impact of the peer-led Sources of Strength program on gender-based violence and attitudes dismissive of sexual harassment. Twenty high schools in Colorado were randomized to intervention (n = 11) or waitlist control (n = 9); students (N = 6461; 9th–11th graders) were surveyed four times (2017–2019); 45% Hispanic, 38% White, 2% Black, and 12% Multiracial; 78% straight/heterosexual, 11% bisexual, 4% questioning, 2% gay/lesbian, and 4% “other” sexuality. Baseline equivalence was not established for most outcomes. No direct intervention effects were found; however, self-reported exposure to Sources messaging was associated with small decreases in sexual harassment perpetration, forced sexual contact perpetration and victimization, and dismissiveness of sexual harassment in Year 2. Higher fidelity indicators were associated with exposure. School psychologists play key roles in identification and implementation of prevention programs, so suggestions to maximize implementation fidelity are provided. Impact Statement This study examined the impact of a peer-led intervention on reducing multiple forms of on help-seeking and connections to caring adults they were less likely to dismiss sexual harassment and less likely to perpetrate sexual violence. School psychologists and school administrators should implement programming to fidelity and ensure the school climate supports programming through policies and practices.
