The number of crimes that occur in cyberspace, such as cyberbullying, is one of the negative impacts that must be addressed and must be followed up when imposing sanctions on perpetrators. Because it has had a negative impact on victims of cyberbullying, the perpetrator must be given a deterrent punishment. Normative juridical research methods were used in this research, and the data collection method used was literature study. The government has established laws regarding the criminal act of cyberbullying, as stated in the Criminal Code and the ITE Law. The aim of this law is to eradicate and minimize cyberbullying perpetrators and acts.
