Abstract

Penelitian ini menggunakan metode hukum empiris yang menggunakan data primer dan data sekunder Hasill Penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Penerapan diversi terhadap anak sebagai pelaku tindak pidana menunjukkan bahwa meskipun diversi merupakan hak hukum anak yang dijamin dalam Undang-Undang Sistem Peradilan Pidana Anak, Diversi telah diupayakan dalam berbagai kasus pidana anak, namun tingkat keberhasilannya bervariasi. Bergantung pada tercapainya kesepakatan antara pelaku, korban, dan pihak terkait. Akibatnya bahwa ketika diversi berhasil dilaksanakan, proses peradilan dihentikan, anak terbebas dari catatan pidana, dan mendapat pemulihan sosial.

The research objective is to analyse the application of diversion to children as perpetrators of criminal acts. This study employs an empirical legal method that utilises both primary and secondary data. The results of the study show that the application of diversion to children as perpetrators of criminal acts reveals that, although diversion is a legal right of children guaranteed in the Child Criminal Justice System Law, the level of success varies in various child criminal cases where diversion has been attempted. Depends on the agreement reached between the perpetrator, the victim, and the related parties. As a result, when diversion is successfully implemented, the judicial process is stopped, the child is free from criminal records, and receives social recovery. Conversely, if diversion fails, the child undergoes a formal judicial process and can be subject to criminal penalties, although with special treatment according to the principles of juvenile justice.
