Key words: Criminal law enforcement, cyberporn/cybersex, to fighting crime Introduction Internet has created a new world called cyberspace, which is a computer-based communications domain that offers a new form of virtual reality. The development of the Internet has increased both technology and its use, has a lot of both positive and negative impacts. The negative impact of internet makes formerly conventional crime now be done using online computer media with very little risk of being caught. Head of Public Relations of Jakarta Police Commissioner Rikwanto said that cases of crime through the virtual world are different from criminal cases that occur in the world of reality, and its handling also different in terms of disclosure. Police should not be hasty in determining the perpetrators of the crime. Even if there are indications of a crime, the perpetrators cannot be immediately arrested. Rikwanto explained disclosure of criminal cases in cyberspace need valid proof. Not every person conducts criminal offense even though there is an element that is closer, and to prove it need some times. The police are obliged to bring criminal cases to the world of reality first, and then search for victims and losses of material and non-material acquired. Then, police can arrest the operator of the site in cyberspace. 1 Based on some of the literature and practice, cybercrime has distinctive characters than conventional crimes, among others, namely: 1. The illegal act, without any rights or unethical are happening in cyberspace, so the jurisdiction cannot be ascertained. 2. The act is done using any equipment that can be connected to the Internet. 3. This act resulted in loss of material and immaterial (time, value, service, money, goods, self-respect, dignity, confidentiality of information) which tend to be larger than a conventional crime. 4. The perpetrator is the person who controls the use of the Internet and its applications. 5. This act is often carried out transnationally/cross borders.2 Cybercrime can include crimes in all aspects of human life, including all the traditional forms of crime such as contained in the Criminal Code. Congress Report of the United Nations X/ 2000 stated, covers all new forms of crime directed at computers, computer networks and users, and other forms of traditional crime that is now done with the use or with the aid of computer equipment.3 One conventional crime that uses online computer media is pornographic images.

Therefore, law enforcement against cyberporn/cybersex needs serious attention from the government. In the opinion of Dr. Robert Weiss of the Sexual Recovery Institute in Los Angeles, that pornography has a reputation of similar effects to cocaine, which cause sexual addiction. The way it works is very fast and powerful, just like the use of narcotics, sexual pleasure experience gained by viewing pornographic images can cause repetitive behavior patterns and intensified, as a result creates addiction to pornography.4 If it is upon the children of Indonesia, one can imagine how suffering the nation, because future generations addicted to pornography. Such impacts are very dangerous for the nation, therefore the criminal law enforcement against cyberporn needs to be improved by the Government. The Problem Based on the above mentioned fact the problem discussed in this paper is: "How do criminal law enforcement policy against criminal acts of cyberporn/cybersex in the context of crime prevention in Indonesia during this time and the constraints of effort to anticipate the future? Research Purposes: To identify and analyze criminal law enforcement policy against criminal acts of cyberporn/cybersex in the context of crime prevention in Indonesia during this time and the constraints of effort to anticipate the future. Discussion Formulation Policy of Cyberporn/Cybersex Crime in Indonesia Criminal law enforcement policy is part of a criminal policy. Law enforcement policy is a set of processes consists of three stages of the policy. First, formulative policy stage or legislative policy stage is the stage of preparation/formulation of criminal law. Second, the judicial/implementation stage, namely the implementation phase of the criminal law. Third, the stage of executive/administration policy, namely the stage of implementation/execution of criminal law. The first phase (legislative policy) is the stage of law enforcement "in abstracto" while the second and third phase (phase of the judiciary and the executive policy) are the stage of law enforcement "in concreto".5 The stages of criminal law enforcement aforementioned contains three power or authority, namely legislative authority which formulates or establishes acts as acts that can be imprisoned (criminal offenses) and its criminal sanction, law application authority by law enforcement officials, and the power/authority which execute or carry out a concrete law by authorities/agencies authorized. The legislative process is a strategic early stage of the law enforcement, so that mistake at this stage is a strategic error that can become an obstacle to law enforcement efforts. With the formulation stage, the prevention and control of crime is not only the task of law enforcement/implementation officers, but also the task of apparatus that make the law (legislative authorities), even legislative policy is the most strategic stage of "penal policy". Its Strategic position is because the penal system and punishment policies formulated by the legislative apparatus are the foundation of legality for criminal practitioners apparatus (judicial officers) and officers of criminal executive (executive/administrative officer). Related with this cyberporn, the Government has issued several laws that containing criminal acts of decency, among other:6 1. Articles 281, 282, 283, 284-292, 532, and 533 of the Criminal Code. The disadvantage is that the articles of the Criminal Code are not able to reach the corporation as moral perpetrator and also cannot reach the crime of morality that transcends territorial boundaries of Indonesia, the more so if the criminal act of decency is done by means of a computer. 2. Article 5 (1), Article 13, Article 18 paragraph (2) of Law No. 40 of 1999 on the Press. Article 5 (1) concerning the obligation of the national press to spread events and opinions that respecting religious norms and a sense of public morality as well as the presumption of innocence. Article 13, set the Press Company shall not contain ads, which among other things resulted in degrading a religion or interfere religious harmony, and contrary to the sense of public decency. Article 18 paragraph (2), set up for the Press Company violating the provisions of Article 5, paragraph (1) and Article 13, shall be punished by a fine of Rp.500.000.000 (Five Hundred Million). 4 http://www.voa-islam.com/read/smart-teen/2011/06/23/15386/hati-hati terhadap Pornografi, download 9 Mei 2014. 5 Barda Nawawi Arief, 2012, Kebijakan Formulasi Ketentuan Pidana, Dalam Peraturan Perundang-undangan, Pustaka Magister, Semarang, p.10. 6 Barda Nawawi Arief, 2011, Pornografi, Pornoaksi, dan Cybersex-cyberporn, Pustaka Magister, Semarang, p.44-59. 97 International Journal of Business, Economics and Law, Vol. 8, Issue 4 (Dec.)
