The research method that the author uses in this research is normative research method. This study found that perpetrators of sexual violence who have sexual deviations, live in a residence, and have a health evaluation are likely to receive rehabilitation. The enactment of the Law on Sexual Violence reformulated the regulation of rehabilitation efforts against perpetrators of sexual violence.
