Prostitution is a social phenomenon that reflects structural problems within society and is often regarded as a form of social pathology. Beyond issues of morality and decency, prostitution emerges from factors such as economic inequality, weak social control, and limited legal protection. In the Indonesian context, the regulation of prostitution remains indirect and fragmented, creating challenges in law enforcement and the maintenance of public order. This study examines prostitution as a social pathology from a normative legal perspective by analyzing the legal framework governing prostitution and its enforcement in Indonesia. Using a normative juridical method with statutory and conceptual approaches, this research reviews relevant legislation, including the Indonesian Criminal Code and related laws, as well as legal doctrines and scholarly works. The study finds that law enforcement against prostitution tends to be repressive and inconsistent due to the absence of explicit legal regulation. Moreover, prostitution has serious social and psychological impacts on those involved, particularly in the form of stigmatization and marginalization. Therefore, a comprehensive and humane legal approach that integrates penal and non-penal policies is essential to ensure public order while protecting human dignity.
