Therefore Law Number 3 of 1997 concerningJuvenile Court is no longer valid. The Children's JudicialSystem Law currently adopts many international agreementswhich are expected to improve and bring about changes in thehandling of child criminal cases. The policy of penalties in theSPPA Act now pays more attention to the protection of therights of children in conflict with the law at every level ofjustice, one of which is evident from the reduction in the periodof detention of children in the judicial process from 200 days toonly 110 days.
