BANTUAN HUKUM TERHADAP KAUM DIFABEL KORBAN TINDAK PIDANA UPAYA MEWUJUDKAN ACCES TO JUSTICE
Abstract: Legal aid and
protection for disabled people are still difficult to get. Worse, there are not
any legal institutions which protect them. The problems discussed in this
research are: first, how is the issue of legal aid to disabled people as
criminal victims and its challenges? Second, what kinds of legal aid that
should be given to disabled people as criminal victims in order to bring access
to justice? This was an empirical and normative legal research. The research
findings show that: first, the advocacy of disabled people as the victims of
violence has been handled by several LSM (Non-Governmental Organizations) in
the field of legal aid. Most of the handled cases are discontinued in the
middle of the process due to some issues regarding the legal aids, such as issues
related to legal aid agencies, disabled victims, victims, and law enforcement
apparatus. Second, the ideas suggested to legal aid agencies are to provide
supervision from psychologists, translators, and special advocates to handle
disabled victims. The ideas suggested to the police are to provide special
investigating officers for disabled people, such as assigning police woman for
rape and violence cases involving disabled woman victims; and in the judicial
proceedings i.e. by one time investigation system in the investigation step in
which judges review the victims’ testimony based on police investigation report
in the investigation step.
