| Summary: | For the last two semesters, we have been conducting a research on child sexual
abuse in Malaysia. We concentrated on punishment which laid down in Section
376 of the Penal Code (Act 574) against the child rapist. In our research, we alsotouched and discussed about sexual trade among children in the South East
Asian country. We strongly believed that person who involved in this should be
punished more severely. Also we believe that there should be specific
punishment against the child rapist because thee is not enough protection for our children. We have conducted a survey on child sexual abuse by distributing it to 50 respondents. We also consulted the police officer in charged to get the statistic of cases regarding child sexual abuse in Shah Alam. We are glad that all the
respondents looked at this issue seriously and gave their opinion and ways to
decrease the cases of child sexual abuse. Among the few important questions
that were raised in the questionnaire was whether the respondent had ever heard about cases concerning child rape? |
