Restorative justice with a diversion approach has been initiated since 2012 following the promulgation of the Juvenile Criminal Justice System Law. After twelve years of this system being implemented how far has it been implemented, 2) what does the law apparatus encounter the obstacles? This research falls into the realm of qualitative research. The research location was determined at the Semarang District Court, Semarang Prosecutor's Office, Bapas, Semarang City Regional Police. Qualitative research is written on the base of primary data and secondary data. Primary data was obtained through interviews with informants and respondents. The study has demonstrated that the application of diversion and restorative justice in resolving juvenile criminal cases is based on Law Number 11 of 2012 concerning the Criminal Justice System and other regulations issued by law enforcement agencies. Diversion is generally carried out using restorative meetings (restorative conferencing). Factors that become obstacles are legal regulations that do not fully and clearly regulate restorative justice and diversion, law enforcement officers who do not understand children's rights, lack of understanding from families and communities, and lack of facilities and infrastructure to support the Juvenile Criminal Justice System Law. The implementation of diversion and restorative justice must be based on the principles of the child's rights.
