ANALISIS SISTEM PERADILAN PIDANA ANAK BERDASARKAN UNDANG-UNDANG REPUBLIK INDONESIA NOMOR 11 TAHUN 2012 TENTANG SISTEM PERADILAN PIDANA ANAK

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the implementation of the juvenile criminal justice system based on Law Number 11 of 2012 concerning the Juvenile Criminal Justice System. The research method used is a literature study with a qualitative approach, by examining various relevant primary, secondary, and tertiary legal sources. The results indicate that the juvenile justice system in Indonesia has adopted restorative justice and diversion as the main approaches in resolving cases involving children. These approaches aim to protect children's rights, prevent children from undergoing formal judicial processes, and promote the restoration of relationships between offenders, victims, and society. However, in practice, several challenges remain, including the lack of understanding among law enforcement officers, limited supporting facilities, and low community participation. In addition, social stigma against children in conflict with the law poses a significant obstacle to their social reintegration. Therefore, strengthening human resources, institutional capacity, and public awareness is necessary to ensure the effective implementation of this system. This research is expected to contribute to the development of legal science, particularly in the field of child protection within the criminal justice system.
