This research aims to determine and analyze the role and position of child victims in sexual crimes and legal protection efforts through victimology theory in normative decisions. Legal materials are collected through document study, then analyzed prescriptively. The research results found that there are regulations that have not been specifically regulated to protect children from all sexual crimes. Then, the role and position of the child victim which was not assessed as a consideration by the Judge in Decision Number 102/Pid.sus/2022/PN Lbo is something that hinders legal protection efforts for children. This research also contains victimology analysis of child victims using the Carroll Formula as well as other analyzes that show the victim's position as a commercial sex worker, which shows that there is a trigger for a crime. Victimology theory in decisions is important to understand the role of child victims who are considered passive perpetrators so that the theory of justice can be included in decisions and child protection through victimology theory can be implemented.    

This research aims to find out what the judge's forgiveness policy (rechterlijk pardon) is in the New Criminal Code, to find out how the rechterlijk pardon formulation in the Dutch Criminal Code compares and to find out what the challenges of rechterlijk pardon (judge's forgiveness) will be in the future. The research method used is juridical-normative with a statutory approach and a case approach. The research results show that Rechterlijk Pardon puts a different concept in giving space to judges in handing down guilty decisions without criminal penalties. Before being ratified, the principle of judge forgiveness was already used in several countries, for example the Netherlands. Even judges in Indonesia have made several decisions that contain the value of the judge's forgiveness. In connection with the analysis of Rechterlijk Pardon's challenges, it is viewed from the perspective of law enforcement and legal culture in society.
