Abstract

Child sexual exploitation is an increasingly serious issue, exacerbated by the advancement of digital technology, which facilitates undetected financial transactions supporting illegal activities. This study aims to assess and compare the effectiveness of technologies used by Indonesian law enforcement in detecting financial transactions related to child sexual exploitation, with a focus on identifying gaps and proposing solutions. By comparing these methods with those employed in Singapore, the study seeks to provide actionable recommendations for improving Indonesia’s capabilities. Using a descriptive-comparative approach, data was collected through literature reviews and analysis of official documents. The findings reveal a significant disparity between the two countries. Singapore has successfully implemented advanced technologies such as predictive analytics and artificial intelligence in its automated transaction monitoring systems, supported by a robust legal framework and effective inter-agency coordination. In contrast, Indonesia faces challenges in adopting technology, lacks high-quality data, and suffers from weak inter-agency coordination. Despite efforts to improve through international cooperation and training, these issues continue to hinder the effectiveness of monitoring systems in Indonesia. The study concludes that enhancing technological adoption, legal frameworks, and inter-agency coordination is crucial for Indonesia to improve its capacity to detect and prevent illegal financial transactions.
