The City Government of Semarang, Indonesia has responded to this need with a school-based restorative justice program. This study aims to explore the factors that can hinder the psychological recovery process of children in conflict with the law during the implementation of the program.

Case study data analysis techniques were employed, namely matching patterns, building explanations, finding model logic, and synthesizing cases.
