Kasus kekerasan terhadap jurnalis di Indonesia masih banyak terjadi meskipun sudah 25 tahun berlalu sejak reformasi. Kasus kekerasan terhadap jurnalis di Indonesia muncul sebagai akibat kegagalan negara dalam melindungi jurnalis dan pers. Tugas karya akhir ini mencoba mendeskripsikan permasalahan tersebut dengan melihat unsur dari kejahatan negara dan viktimologi kritis. Penulisan ini menggunakan metode penelitian kualitatif, dengan sumber data yang diambil dari data sekunder lembaga terpercaya jurnalistik Indonesia yaitu Aliansi Jurnalis Independen (AJI). Melalui teori viktimologi kritis dan konsep kejahatan negara, tindak kekerasan terhadap jurnalis dapat dilihat terjadi atas negara yang tidak memenuhi peranannya dalam melindungi jurnalis dan pers, mengakibatkan munculnya pelanggaran kemerdekaan pers.

There are still many cases of violence against journalists in Indonesia, even though it has been 25 years since the reform era. Cases of violence against journalists in Indonesia arose as a result of the state's failure to protect journalists and the press. This final project tries to describe the problem by looking at the elements of state crime and critical victimology. This writing uses qualitative research methods, with data sources taken from secondary data from a trusted Indonesian journalistic institution, namely the Alliance of Independent Journalists (AJI). Through the theory of critical victimology and the concept of state crime, acts of violence against journalists can be seen as occurring against the state which does not fulfill its role in protecting journalists and the press, resulting in violations of press freedom.
