In connection with this, related to the crime of sexual violence that can happen to anyone, including adult men who can become victims, this should be a special concern for law enforcement. However, it is not uncommon for views from the community regarding an unbalanced assessment of a community group, namely to men who are often not considered as a serious matter by the community. The majority of sexual violence crimes that occur in Indonesia occur against women and children as victims.
