Abstract


This study aims to analyze the legal protection of children from cyber grooming practices in Indonesia and compare it with the legal framework in Australia. The study is driven by the absence of explicit legal provisions criminalizing cyber grooming as a distinct criminal offense, resulting in legal uncertainty in its enforcement. It employs the theories of legal protection, child protection, and criminal law policy. Data were collected through library research by examining legislation, legal literature, scholarly journals, and other relevant legal documents. The findings reveal that regulations concerning cyber grooming in Indonesia remain fragmented across the Child Protection Law, the Sexual Violence Crimes Law, and the Electronic Information and Transactions Law, none of which specifically criminalize the offense. This study contributes to the development of the concept of preparatory offences within preventive criminal law policy against cybercrime involving children. Unlike previous studies focusing mainly on victim protection, this research offers novelty through a comparative analysis of the legal systems of Indonesia and Australia, emphasizing preventive criminalization. It concludes that Indonesia should enact specific legislation on cyber grooming, strengthen digital law enforcement, and enhance digital literacy to improve child protection in cyberspace
