    abstract = {The incidences of pedophilia in several cities
in the province of East Java, Indonesia were relatively
high and increasingly dangerous. Their cruelty and
increasing number have made all interested parties try to
take preventive and handling measures. The Indonesian
government has been responding it by enacting some
regulations and establishing children protection
institutions. It is significant to conduct a study whether
those measures are effective and efficient and whether
they are in conformity with the Islamic teachings. The
method used in this study was qualitative approach using
field research. Four cities, Surabaya, Malang, Kediri and
Nganjuk where cruel and pretty high numbers of
incidences occurred quite recently were chosen as loci of
study. In-depth interviews with the officers of the women
and children protection centers and some judges who
handled pedophilic cases on district courts of those cities
as well as observing their data and programs right on the
field including visiting shelters for pedophilic crime
victims were carried out to gather data and materials of
study. Literature review was done to gain correct
understanding about the problem. From our study, we
found that the Indonesian government had taken quite
effective and efficient steps dealing with pedophilic issues
by establishing protection centers and task forces in all
levels, building shelters for victims, disseminating
pedophilic issues to communities, establishing
coordinative networks with many parties interested in
children protection as well as enacting new regulations
which favor victims and deter perpetrators. The
coordinative networks in those said cities together with
their on-going programs, in the perspective of Islamic law
and Islamic education are very suitable as they place
children on a high-level concern and grant them adequate
protection. Such model may be studied further, adopted
and implemented in other places where pedophilic crimes
become a public crucial issue.}
