<![CDATA[This study aims to analyze the legal framework governing the social reintegration of children in conflict with the law in Indonesia and to compare it with Norway’s community-based juvenile rehabilitation system. Using normative juridical methods with statutory, comparative, and conceptual approaches, this research examines primary legal materials including Indonesia’s Juvenile Justice System Law, Correctional Law, Government Regulations No. 31/1999 and No. 32/1999, as well as the Norwegian Penal Code 2005, Execution of Sentences Act, and Child Welfare Act. The analysis is conducted qualitatively by comparing the normative structure and reintegration mechanisms adopted by both countries. The findings reveal that Indonesia recognizes social reintegration as a core objective of its correctional system, yet its implementation remains largely institution-based and lacks a structured community-centered model to ensure effective transition back into society. In contrast, Norway applies a comprehensive community-based approach through limited imprisonment for minors, community service, progressive social supervision, and the Youth Punishment and Youth Follow-Up schemes that emphasize rehabilitation, mediation, and community involvement. The comparison highlights the necessity for Indonesia to strengthen community-based reintegration frameworks aligned with restorative justice principles and children’s developmental needs]]>
