Law enforcement needs to be specially trained, and support for victims must be improved. By adopting BOSE principles such as being proactive, transparent, and risk-based, Indonesia can create a safer digital ecosystem.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>For victims to recover, access to counseling services and psychological support should be made easier.
