Abstract

Protection of children in conflict with the law has been regulated under Law No. 23 of 2002 on Child Protection and Law No. 3 of 1997 on Juvenile Justice. However, its implementation in practice still faces various obstacles, particularly in handling children in conflict with the law. Diversion and restorative justice have emerged as alternative approaches for resolving juvenile cases, with the police serving as the primary investigator through the exercise of discretionary authority. This study aims to analyze the factors underlying the implementation of diversion, the strategic role of investigators in its implementation, as well as the obstacles and impacts that arise during the diversion process. The research employs both normative and sociological juridical approaches to obtain an in-depth understanding of diversion practices. Primary data were obtained through in-depth interviews with police officers, correctional facility officers, NGO activists, and academics in the field of child protection, while secondary data were collected through a literature review of statutory regulations, books, journals, and various related literature. Data were analyzed qualitatively to provide a comprehensive overview of diversion practices within the juvenile criminal justice system in Indonesia. The research findings indicate that diversion can be implemented through the role of investigators, with the positive impact of restoring social relationships between victims and perpetrators. However, the implementation of diversion still faces structural and cultural barriers, including a lack of awareness among investigators and the public, as well as insufficient supporting facilities.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the preventive efforts undertaken by Satlantas Polres Ngawi in addressing traffic violations committed by children, as well as to identify the underlying causal factors of such violations in Ngawi Regency. The study employs a qualitative case study approach, combining in depth interviews, field observation, and document analysis. Primary data were collected through interviews with seven informants, comprising three Satlantas Polres Ngawi personnel, two teachers from partner schools, and two parent representatives, selected using purposive sampling based on their direct involvement in the preventive programs examined. Data collection was conducted between January and August 2023 and analyzed using the interactive model developed by Miles and Huberman. The findings indicate that Satlantas Polres Ngawi implements five preventive programs, namely school based socialization, collaboration with the Department of Education, data driven violation analysis, social media utilization, and public safety campaigns involving students as safety ambassadors, which theoretically reinforce children's legal awareness and their social control bonds to family, school, and law enforcement. Between January and August, senior high school level accident victims reached 1,252 individuals. Meanwhile, among the twenty identified types of traffic violations, the underlying causes cluster into three principal categories: limited legal awareness and risk perception, inconsistent supervision and law enforcement, and economic and infrastructural constraints. The study concludes that reducing child traffic violations in Ngawi Regency requires continued strengthening of existing educational programs, accompanied by more consistent law enforcement and infrastructure improvement at high risk locations.

Abstract

Corruption is an extraordinary crime that continues to increase alongside development and technological advances, causing significant social and economic harm. Despite various legislative efforts, law enforcement still faces difficulties in tracing and recovering criminal proceeds. This study employs a normative legal method using a statute approach to Law Number 31 of 1999 on the Eradication of Corruption Crimes and its amendment, combined with a comparative approach examining asset forfeiture frameworks in the Netherlands, the United States, and the United Kingdom. It analyzes how the Asset Forfeiture Bill can facilitate the recovery of state losses arising from corruption under Articles 2 and 3 of the Corruption Eradication Law. The findings indicate that following Constitutional Court Decision Number 25/PUU-XIV/2016, which removed the word may from both provisions, state financial loss must be established as an actual and certain loss. This development strengthens the relevance of asset forfeiture as a mechanism that directly targets criminal proceeds without relying solely on a criminal conviction. The comparative analysis shows that the Netherlands is developing its framework through the Asset Recovery Guide, the United States implements the Civil Asset Forfeiture Reform Act through specialized institutions, and the United Kingdom applies the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002, enabling civil recovery without a criminal conviction. Accordingly, the Asset Forfeiture Bill should be enacted promptly by reinforcing its non-conviction-based in rem mechanism, inter-agency coordination, and international cooperation to enhance anti-corruption enforcement and restore public trust in Indonesia's legal system.

Abstract

Children continue to be involved as perpetrators of theft in Indonesia, even though Law Number 11 of 2012 on the Juvenile Justice System obliges the pursuit of diversion as a legal protection mechanism for children. In practice, however, the application of diversion is not always consistent, as illustrated by Case Decision Number 27/Pid.Sus.Anak/2023/PN Jkt.Utr, in which two children were sentenced to imprisonment despite formally satisfying the requirements for diversion. This study aims to analyze the judges' considerations in that decision from the perspective of diversion as a form of legal protection for children. The study employs a normative legal research method, applying a statutory approach and a case approach, with data collected through library research and analyzed descriptively. The findings show that although the requirements for diversion under Article 7 of Law Number 11 of 2012, namely a statutory threat of imprisonment under seven years and the absence of repeat offending, were satisfied, diversion was not pursued through to the trial stage before the District Court. A comparison with Case Decision Number 37/Pid.Sus.Anak/2024/PN Srg indicates that the divergence in outcome stems primarily from the extent to which each panel of judges actively pursued diversion, rather than from any fundamental difference in the underlying facts. This study recommends more consistent application of diversion at every stage of the juvenile justice process to fulfill the protective purpose that the law already sets out to achieve.
