Abstract
Children are the nation's heirs and future
successors, possessing a long life expectancy and high aspirations. When a
child commits a violation or comes into conflict with the law, they deserve
special treatment. Juvenile delinquency is not the same as adult crime.
Addressing juvenile delinquency must be based on a proper understanding,
through diversion. Legal provisions regarding diversion for children who commit
crimes are outlined in several laws and regulations, government regulations,
and Supreme Court regulations governing the procedures for implementing
diversion for children who commit crimes. Law Number 11 of 2012 concerning the
Juvenile Criminal Justice System explains diversion, as stated in Article 1,
point 7, that diversion is the transfer of juvenile case resolution from the
criminal justice process to a process outside the criminal justice system. This
article aims to emphasize the important role of diversion in the juvenile
criminal justice system, thus necessitating development. While diversion plays
a crucial role in providing legal protection for children's human rights, it
also faces obstacles. These obstacles require attention for the future
development of diversion. This will ensure that the resolution of juvenile
criminal cases through diversion will increasingly provide justice, benefit,
and legal certainty in the best interests of the child.
