Synopsis (AI-Generated)
This is normative juridical legal research. It examines library materials and secondary sources, using a statutory approach to review valid laws relevant to romance-fraud victim protection and a conceptual approach examining jurisprudential views and theories. The abstract identifies women who are easily deceived by fake accounts using false identities as a factor associated with romance fraud. The paper identifies two tactics: soliciting investment capital with promised returns, and obtaining intimate images to extort victims. The study is limited to normative legal analysis of legislation, secondary materials, and legal concepts.
Identified Gaps (AI-Generated)
The paper identifies the absence of a standard definition and a specific Indonesian law on romance fraud as legal weaknesses. It also describes prevention, enforcement, and supervision as weak or suboptimal, and notes that only a small proportion of victims report. Given its normative design, empirical evidence on case prevalence, victim experiences, reporting barriers, and implementation of legal protections remains unaddressed.
Methods (AI-Generated)
This is normative juridical legal research. It examines library materials and secondary sources, using a statutory approach to review valid laws relevant to romance-fraud victim protection and a conceptual approach examining jurisprudential views and theories. The analysis focuses on Indonesian Criminal Code provisions, the Electronic Information and Transactions Law, and witness/victim-protection law.
Limitations (AI-Generated)
The study is limited to normative legal analysis of legislation, secondary materials, and legal concepts. It does not report interviews, case-file analysis, victim surveys, enforcement data, or evaluation of how protections operate in practice. Its conclusions about prevalence, victim susceptibility, reporting, and enforcement obstacles are therefore not empirically tested within the study.
Future Work (AI-Generated)
No explicit research agenda is stated. The paper recommends government socialization/public education on romance-fraud dangers, especially for social-media users seeking partners, to increase caution and reduce trust in newly met online contacts.
