Abstract
In Indonesia, a diversion has become one of the ways to solve child crime through UU.No.11 / 2012 on Child Criminal Justice System. Diversion aims to provide recovery against damage caused by crimes committed by children. The diversion will be realized if there is an agreement between the perpetrator and the victim, especially the community, and other parties appointed by law. Given the immature personal condition of the child, both physic and psychic, then in the process of diversion, both children (victim and the perpetrator) require parental assistance in giving the agreement. The purpose of this study was to determine the influence of victim's parents in a diversion process to the effectiveness of diversion in settlement of child crime. To answer this problem, the method used a qualitative research method. The result of this study shows that the victim's parents give enough influence to the child in giving agreement in the process of diversion. From this study, it can be concluded that the diversion is useful concerning specific criminal acts which consequently can be tolerated by the victim, and it does not attack the honor and dignity of the victim.
