LEGAL PROTECTION EFFORTS FOR CHILD VICTIMS OF BULLYING BASED ON THE VICTIMOLOGY ASPECT

Abstract

Bullying against minors is still prevalent in Indonesia today. Children have a vital part in nation building and are protected by the state under the constitution. In 1945, the Republic of Indonesia established the right of children to be safeguarded from violence. From the victim's perspective, the effects of this type of bullying are far-reaching. Bullying victims in children and teenagers are more likely to develop a variety of physical and mental health issues. The methodology employed in this study is normative justice legal research. The primary and secondary legal documents used in this legal research include a review of the regulations found in the referenced rules and laws. The findings suggested that children who are bullied should be legally protected. Victimology determines the rights of the victims. This is important to remember because bullying is not viewed as a problem in and of itself, but rather as normal behavior. From this vantage point, it is clear that, while bullying has a large detrimental impact, its victims are not widely known. Victim rights, on the other hand, have evolved within the field of victimology. Bullying is still not considered a crime in society and is instead viewed as normal kid behavior, despite the fact that it has severe consequences. Victims' rights are still not fully recognized, necessitating stringent government laws. control so that bullying victims can receive complete attention.
