Abstract: Sexual harassment that often occurs is physical or verbal. Catcalling is an act of verbal sexual harassment. Catcalling has become a social problem that is considered common among the public. The act of catcalling has unknowingly reduced a person’s human right. Therefore, by using a normative juridical approach, researchers will examine how the construction of catcalling law in criminal law in Indonesia will analyze catcalling as a crime and will have an impact on legal consequences. This study shows that catcalling is an act that can be punished by a report from the victim and can be followed up by law enforcement apart. Keywords: catcalling, sexual harassment, criminal act
