Prison Sentence, Job Training, Children, Intercourse

Abstract

Prison is not the most appropriate place to rehabilitate negative behavior, especially for children. Job training can be provided as a form of accountability for their actions and to transform negative behavior into positive behavior in the future. Research shows thatLegal regulations regarding children who commit the crime of sexual intercourse are actions that violate several provisions, for example Article 76DLaw Number 35 of 2014 About Child Protection which strictly prohibits anyone from committing violence or threats of violence to force a child to have sexual intercourse with him or with another person. The application of imprisonment and job training to children who commit the crime of sexual intercourse is in accordance with Article 81 paragraph (2) of the Child Protection Law, which is a prison sentence of 3 (three) years and job training for 1 (one) month at the Medan Class I Special Child Development Institution. Prison sentences are the last resort while job training for children is carried out at institutions that carry out job training that is appropriate to their age. The judge's consideration in imposing prison sentences and job training on children who commit the crime of sexual intercourse is that the judge does not find things that can eliminate criminal responsibility, either as a justification or excuse, so that the child must be responsible for his actions and because the child is capable of being responsible, he must be declared guilty and sentenced to prison
