Juvenile justice is a significant aspect of any criminal justice system, especially in countries where childrens rights are enshrined in law. In Indonesia, the juvenile criminal justice system has evolved considerably, with a focus on rehabilitation and protection of the childs welfare. This article delves into Indonesias juvenile criminal laws, specifically Law No. 11 of 2012 on the Juvenile Criminal Justice System, which introduced a more restorative approach to dealing with child offenders. The paper explores how Indonesia balances punishment with rehabilitation, analyzing the effectiveness of this system compared to global standards. By examining case studies, legal frameworks, and rehabilitation programs, the study evaluates how well these laws serve the interests of both society and juvenile offenders. The article also discusses challenges such as inconsistencies in implementation, socio-economic disparities, and public perceptions of juvenile justice. Finally, recommendations are provided to enhance the efficiency and fairness of juvenile criminal law in Indonesia.

11 of 2012 represents a significant shift towards restorative justice in handling juvenile offenders.The implementation of this law has shown positive results in reducing recidivism and promoting rehabilitation, particularly through diversion programs.However, challenges remain in ensuring consistent implementation across all regions and addressing public perceptions regarding the effectiveness of restorative justice.

Penelitian lebih lanjut perlu dilakukan untuk mengeksplorasi efektivitas program restoratif keadilan di berbagai konteks sosial dan ekonomi di Indonesia, dengan mempertimbangkan faktor-faktor seperti tingkat pendidikan, akses terhadap layanan hukum, dan dukungan komunitas. Selain itu, studi komparatif dapat dilakukan untuk membandingkan pendekatan Indonesia terhadap keadilan juvenil dengan negara-negara lain yang telah berhasil menerapkan sistem restoratif, guna mengidentifikasi praktik-praktik terbaik yang dapat diadopsi. Terakhir, penelitian perlu difokuskan pada pengembangan strategi untuk meningkatkan kesadaran publik dan mengubah persepsi negatif terhadap keadilan restoratif, melalui kampanye edukasi yang melibatkan berbagai pemangku kepentingan, termasuk masyarakat, aparat penegak hukum, dan lembaga pendidikan, sehingga tercipta dukungan yang lebih luas untuk pendekatan ini dalam sistem peradilan pidana anak.
