Criminological Aspects on Gender-Based Exploitation: The Existence of Female Objectification in Online Gambling Promotions

This research analyzes from a criminological perspective the issue of gender-based exploitation, specifically the role of the objectification of women in promoting online gambling to achieve the existence of online gambling. The research method used is descriptive qualitative, with data collection techniques through literature study, observation, and interviews. This research also employs a legislative and sociological approach. The results of the research found that online gambling promotion systematically uses narratives and visuals that reduce women to sexual attractions or means to achieve false pleasure. This objectification is carried out through vulgar advertisements, representing the female body that attracts sexual desire. From a criminological perspective, this practice is a form of gender-based exploitation because it exploits the social and economic vulnerabilities of women, reinforces negative stereotypes, and indirectly contributes to the normalization of symbolic violence. From the perspective of positive law, the act violates several regulations, including the Anti-Trafficking in Persons Act, CEDAW, the Electronic Information and Transactions Law, the Pornography Law, and the Sexual Violence Crime Law. Abstrak Penelitian ini menganalisis secara kriminologis terkait eksploitasi berbasis gender, khususnya peran objektifikasi perempuan dalam promosi perjudian online untuk mencapai eksistensi.

Abstract

This research analyzes from a criminological perspective the issue of gender-based exploitation, specifically the role of the objectification of women in promoting online gambling to achieve the existence of online gambling. The research method used is descriptive qualitative, with data collection techniques through literature study, observation, and interviews. This research also employs a legislative and sociological approach. The results of the research found that online gambling promotion systematically uses narratives and visuals that reduce women to sexual attractions or means to achieve false pleasure. This objectification is carried out through vulgar advertisements, representing the female body that attracts sexual desire. From a criminological perspective, this practice is a form of gender-based exploitation because it exploits the social and economic vulnerabilities of women, reinforces negative stereotypes, and indirectly contributes to the normalization of symbolic violence. From the perspective of positive law, the act violates several regulations, including the Anti-Trafficking in Persons Act, CEDAW, the Electronic Information and Transactions Law, the Pornography Law, and the Sexual Violence Crime Law.
