Abstract

One form of human trafficking is prostitution. Prostitution in Indonesia is considered a
crime against decency and is illegal and against human rights. One way to eradicate
prostitution is to punish users of their services, by making Commercial Sex Workers (PSK)
victims of sexual exploitation in trafficking in persons, through Article 12 of the Law of the
Republic of Indonesia Number 21 of 2007 concerning the Eradication of Trafficking in
Persons.
This type of research can be classified as sociological juridical research. With the
research location taking place in Kampar Regency, especially in the Kampar Resort Police
Legal Area. While the population and sample are all parties related to the problem being
studied. This study uses data sources in the form of primary data and secondary data, and
data collection techniques are carried out by means of interviews.
The results of the study concluded that, First, the implementation of Article 12 of the
PTPPO Law has never been applied to users of prostitution services who sexually exploit sex
workers who are victims of trafficking in persons in the Judicial Area of the Kampar Resort
Police; Second, the main factor hindering the implementation of Article 12 of the PTPPO
Law in eradicating criminal acts of prostitution in the Kampar Resort Police Legal Area, is
due to the lack of commitment from the government, community and law enforcement officials
to fight together in eradicating criminal acts of prostitution in trafficking in persons, then
service users. prostitution often uses fake identities, and victims are reluctant to provide
complete information to uncover prostitution networks in human trafficking because victims
feel ashamed (taboo) to tell their problems, so victims think that if they leave the underworld
of prostitution it will be difficult for them to get a job in real world life; Third, there is
synergy between the community, government and law enforcement officials to jointly
eradicate the crime of prostitution in trafficking in persons, then the Police coordinate with
the Regional Police and Institutions outside the Police to find out the true identity of the
perpetrators, and provide new job opportunities for those who want to leave the prostitution
profession and start a decent life, as well as provide an understanding to the public so that
they are willing to accept and give jobs to these former prostitutes.
