The Role of The PPA Satreskrim Unit in Implementing The Principles of Diversion For Children with The Law

Efforts to protect children must be initiated independently so that later they can optimally participate in the development of the nation and state. Concerning cases of handling children in conflict with the law (ABH), the Police made regulations through the Regulation of the Head of the Criminal Investigation Agency No. 1 of 2012 concerning Standard Operating Procedures for Handling Children in Conflict with the Law within the Indonesian National Police's Criminal Investigation Agency. The regulation describes the handling of ABH cases through formal channels and alternative routes, one of which is a diversion. The conclusion of the research conducted is the efforts of the Semarang Polrestabes police in handling cases of criminal acts committed by children are by the laws and regulations regarding juvenile justice, namely diversion. The PPA Unit is driven by two internal factors, the integrity and capability of the PPA Unit, and external factors, the PPA Unit's cooperation with relevant agencies to facilitate the application of Restorative Justice principles in case settlement. Because the concept of Restorative Justice places a greater emphasis on resolving conflicts in an amicable manner, the perspective of Islamic law on the subject of restorative justice is consistent with Islamic teachings.
