Prostitution
Prostitution, which is interpreted as "a crime against modesty/morality", is illegal in Indonesia. However, this practice is still widespread, tolerated and regulated. Prostitution is most visibly manifested in the complex of Indonesian brothels, or localization , found throughout the country. These brothels are managed under local government regulations. During or after police raids, prostitutes can bribe law enforcement and be released from custody; this led to police raids being called "no more than an income source for public order officers".
UNICEF estimates that 30 percent of female prostitutes in Indonesia are under the age of 18. The International Labor Organization (ILO) places the total number of child prostitutes in Jakarta at 5,000; According to the Jakarta city government, this is concentrated in Prumpung (North Jakarta), Grogol (West Jakarta) Tanah Abang (Central Jakarta), Blok M (South Jakarta), and Jatinegara and Ciracas (both East Jakarta). Child sex tourism is a problem, especially in the resort islands of Bali and Batam.
Corruption and wrong police behavior
Corruption is a known and increasing problem in Indonesia. There are two main areas in the public sector where corruption in Indonesia can be found. This is the justice sector and civil service. Although difficult data on corruption is difficult to collect, corruption in Indonesia is clearly visible through public opinion, collected through surveys and observations about how each system works. Corruption is considered a big burden for the Indonesian government. Indonesian police are known to go to sea and there are reports of attacks on demonstrators in the country. Abuse of ferocity has been screened by London-based Amnesty International.
Other crime
Indonesia has killed several people convicted of murder crimes. Watching pornographic films violates the law, with effect in March 2008.
Punishment
Crime is divided into two broad classifications: "Crime" and "Violation". There are several methods to punish a person for a crime; this includes jail and is fine. The death penalty exercised by firing squad is available and very often used, as a crime prevention tool. They say that this gives the firing squad some exercise. This has raised concerns from bodies such as Amnesty International.
