<![CDATA[Abstrak- Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menjelaskan proses pembuatan penelitian kemasyarakatan (Litmas), menjelaskan pertimbangan hakim terhadap Litmas dan menjelaskan penghambat dalam pelaksanaan pembuatan Litmas serta upaya-upaya penanggulangan penghambatnya. Metode penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian kepustakaan (Library Reseacrch) dan metode penelitian lapangan (Field Research). Penelitian kepustakaan dilakukan untuk diperoleh data sekunder dengan cara membaca dan menelaah buku-buku, sedangkan penelitian lapangan dilakukan guna memperoleh data primer melalui wawancara dengan responden dan informan serta pengambilan data di Balai Pemasyarakatan (BAPAS) Klas II Banda Aceh. Hasil penelitian menjelaskan pelaksanaan pembuatan Litmas pada umumnya tidak membedakan kasus penganiayaan anak dengan kasus pidana anak yang lainnya, pembimbing kemasyarakatan tetap memperhatikan hak-hak dasar anak. Klien anak yang melakukan kasus penganiayaan diperlakukan sama dengan kasus tindak pidana lainnya pada saat wawancara, dan tetap menghargai pendapat klien anak. Majelis Hakim wajib mempertimbangkan Litmas, akan tetapi dikarenakan Litmas hanya berupa latar belakang tentang anak dan bersifat tidak mengikat, Majelis Hakim dapat mengambil keputusan berdasarkan saran BAPAS atau pertimbangan dari Majelis Hakim itu sendiri. Hambatan yang ditemui oleh BAPAS yaitu kurangnya pengetahuan masyarakat terhadap BAPAS, kurangnya sarana dan prasarana serta biaya operasional yang minim di BAPAS. Disarankan pihak BAPAS melakukan sosialisi atau keterbukaan informasi kinerja BAPAS untuk masyarakat luas, diharapkan kepada pemerintah untuk mengalokasikan dana kepada BAPAS Klas II Banda Aceh agar dapat melaksanakan tugas sesuai dengan fungsi dan perannya secara optimal.
