This study aims to analyze the role and effectiveness of the UPTD-PPA in addressing criminal acts of violence against children in Sorong City, particularly regarding the imposition of sanctions on perpetrators and legal protection for victims. The research method used is an empirical legal approach with a qualitative descriptive research design, which involves examining applicable legal provisions and assessing their implementation in practice through field data, interviews, and documentary analysis. The novelty of this study lies in its focus on the implementation of Regional Regulation No. 5 of 2022 as the operational basis for the UPTD-PPA in Sorong City, a topic that has not been extensively examined in previous research. Furthermore, there is a gap between normative regulations and on-the-ground implementation, particularly regarding resource constraints, inter-agency coordination, and low community participation in reporting cases, as well as identifying implementation barriers that hinder the optimization of child protection. Research findings indicate that the UPTD-PPA has played an active role in providing legal and psychological support to child victims of violence; however, the enforcement of sanctions against perpetrators still faces challenges, such as resource constraints, suboptimal interagency coordination, and low public awareness regarding the reporting of violence cases. Conclusion This study confirms that the existence of the UPTD-PPA is a progressive step in child protection; however, strengthening coordination, resources, and public awareness is necessary to ensure that law enforcement and child protection can function optimally.
