Abstract

Diversion is a system of handling outside the formal justice system process due to criminal cases involving child perpetrators who are underage. Settlement through diversion is reserved for children in conflict with the law. This journal writing research method uses normative theory. Therefore, according to Article 108 of Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 11 of 2012 concerning the Juvenile Criminal Justice System, the diversion system is used for reasons of distancing and separating underage perpetrators from settlement through the formal justice system so that discrimination does not occur against child offenders. Through prevention efforts in the form of diversion, it does not provide a deterrent effect so that underage criminals underestimate the existence of these diversion efforts. Efforts so that child victims are protected from children who commit acts against the law or perpetrators are maximally not giving diversion to children who return to committing crimes after a judge's decision.
