Abstract

Sexual exploitation is currently a profitable global business. This business is referred to as sex trafficking on
an international scale. Women and children are forced into sex slavery by being sold, kidnapped, tortured, or
raped whose main goal is to gain huge profits. Speaking in the context of decency, there are many things
that influence children to be easily exploited as sex workers, such as social media, the community
environment, and their own family environment. Social media is a tool where exploitation cases can occur. In
law enforcement (criminal) the police are the body that really determines the process of settling a criminal
case. This can be seen in the criminal justice system, where the police are the first agency to handle criminal
cases. The authority given will result in a settlement or screening of violations of the law. From the results of
research carried out preventively in the form of prevention such as outreach to elements of society by
working with related agencies, then monitoring several public facilities in Batam City and in handling police
cases from each region, especially the Barelang Police call for cooperation from various parties to prevent
and arrest suspects
