Abstract

The aim of this research is to understand the concept of cyberstalking in the context of Criminal Law in Indonesia and identify the factors that encourage the criminalization of this act. The method used is literature review, with a focus on secondary data which includes legal documentation, books and journals obtained via the internet. This research approach is normative law, focusing on the legal system and applicable norms. The research results show that the concept of cyberstalking in Indonesian Criminal Law has developed as a response to the challenges of the digital era, through the application of appropriate legal articles and providing a reporting mechanism for victims. Factors driving the criminalization of cyberstalking include the growth in internet and social media use, the severe psychological impact on victims, and the need for stricter legal protections. This research highlights the importance of a multidisciplinary approach in dealing with cyberstalking, involving collaboration between agencies, increasing law enforcement capacity, and increasing public awareness. The conclusions of this research emphasize the need for continued adaptation in laws and policies to effectively combat cybercrime and protect society
