This research is included as a normative legal research research using a study approach that examines the problems to be discussed using legal regulations in the form of secondary data (primary, secondary and tertiary legal materials). The analysis was carried out qualitatively and the discussion of the problem formulation using library research. This legal facility aims to anticipate the stigma caused when a child is in conflict with the law, as well as to restore and re-socialize the child. One solution is to divert or place the perpetrators of child crimes out of the criminal justice system and provide an alternative for settlement with a restorative justice approach with assistance carried out by community coaches.
