Abstract

Information and communication technology is developing rapidly nowadays. The advance of technology causes cybercrime. Cybercrime is a term that refers to criminal activities using computer and its network. One of the developing cybercrimes today is cyberbullying. The National Conference of State Legislatures describes this crime as an act of harassing and threatening others intentionally and repeatedly. In developed countries, serious efforts have been made to combat cyberbullying. While the awareness of cyberbullying threat as a crime is still low in Indonesia, there is no clear legal rule regarding this crime. This study used the theory of criminal policy and theory of criminal law reform. The result of the research showed that in terms of a penal policy, Indonesia applies the Electronic Information and Transactions Law No.19 of 2016 in dealing with cyberbullying with cyberharassment type in article 27 paragraph 3 and cyberstalking in article 27 paragraph 4 after comparing with Louisiana 2011 LA Rev Stat § 14:40.7. In terms of a non-penal policy, ethics education approach, technological approach, technological education approach, government roles and media control roles are used.
