Diversion itself is intended to ensure that child crime cases can be settled out of court. However, in practice of diversion often cannot work well since the stakeholder relating to such issue also legal enforcer didn’t understand the essence of the diversion. Using the juridic-normative research method with case study approach, this study found that the application of the diversion often recognized to be similar as giving compensation to the victim of child crime, though those conception are greatly different to each other. Thus, it can be concluded the urge of knowledge improvement about the diversion and the need for public education through legal counseling to understand the intention of the diversion itself.
