Thread and Challenge of Juvenile Criminal Law in the Digital Era

The current digital era has penetrated various subjects and various aspects of life, including children. In Indonesia, children now freely explore the digital world and even their have own devices, such as hand phones and laptops. The digital world for children is indeed used to support education, but if it is not properly supervised, children can actually be involved in cybercrime. Cybercrime which often involves children is sexual violence such as online child exploitation, child grooming and so on. Because cybercrimes against children in this digital era are online or in other words do not actually occur, law enforcement will experience various challenges. Apart from that, threats to juvenile criminal law also occur when children frequently become perpetrators of criminal acts on an ongoing basis. Thus, it is important to carry out research related to "Threads and Challenges of Juvenile Criminal Law in the Digital Era". This research aims to describe the challenges and threats of juvenile criminal law in the digital era. Thus, it is hoped that this research will provide legal ideas for juvenile criminal law in Indonesia in facing legal challenges and threats in the digital era.
