Abstract

Abstract. Background. This research was conducted to study the implementation of laws and regulations in handling cases of sexual violence involving children in Cirebon City. Aims. The primary focus of this research is on the work efficiency of the Women and Children Service Unit (PPA) within the Cirebon City Police, as well as Law Number 35 of 2014 and Law Number 12 of 2022, which were implemented. Methods. The research method chosen is qualitative with an empirical juridical approach, which involves data collection through interviews, observations, and document analysis. Result. The research revealed that the Cirebon City Police PPA unit has generally operated in accordance with standard procedures but is still faced with a number of problems, including the limited number of personnel, the low level of legal understanding in the community, and the impact of psychological trauma on victims, which is often a barrier in the investigation process. Conclusion. In addition, the synergy between related institutions, such as the Social Service and child protection institutions, is considered to be unoptimal. Implementation. Therefore, efforts are needed to increase the capacity of law enforcement officials, provide legal education to the public, and strengthen coordination between institutions to increase the effectiveness of legal protection for child victims of sexual violence.

Abstract

This research examines the implementation of diversion in handling juvenile cases at the investigation stage at the Cirebon City Police Department. The increasing involvement of children in criminal offences indicates that punitive approaches are no longer sufficient, making diversion — as a component of restorative justice — an important alternative. Diversion aims to resolve cases outside formal court proceedings while prioritising the best interests of the child and their social recovery. This research employs an empirical legal method with a socio-juridical approach, combining legal analysis with field data. Data were collected through interviews with investigators and supported by relevant legal literature and regulations. The findings reveal that diversion has been applied, though not consistently. Some cases are successfully resolved through diversion, while others proceed to formal judicial processes or are settled at the preliminary stage without formal diversion mechanisms. Several obstacles affect its implementation, including resistance from victims, public perceptions favouring punitive responses, limited understanding of restorative justice among law enforcement officers, and inadequate facilities. In conclusion, the implementation of diversion at the investigation stage remains in a transitional phase toward a fully restorative justice approach. Strengthening institutional capacity, improving public awareness, and enhancing coordination among stakeholders are necessary to ensure the effective application of diversion within the juvenile criminal justice system.
