CASTRATION PUNISHMENT FOR PERPETRATORS OF CRIMINAL OFFENSES OF SEXUAL VIOLENCE AGAINST CHILDREN

The castration sentence that has been imposed as an additional
punishment to provide a deterrent effect for perpetrators of
sexual violence against children in mid-2019 by judges at the
Sidoarjo District Court and the Surabaya District Court is
interesting to examine. The research objective was to determine
the effect of the nut on the perpetrator, as well as the effect of
its prevention on society. This type of juridical normative
research is descriptive in nature, with qualitative analysis. The
results of the research show that the judge's decision has only
had a panic effect on the perpetrator, it is not possible to see a
deterrent effect for the perpetrator because castration will only
be carried out when the convict has finished serving
imprisonment. While the preventive effect for the community
has not yet been seen, it is proven that currently the crime rate
is still high.
