THE CRIMINAL CASES OF CHILDREN IN CONFLICT WITH THE LAW: LITIGATION AND NON-LITIGATION RESOLUTIONS
Abstract
The increasing number of child cases in Ponorogo Regency from 2015 to 2019
requires fast, simple handling and can have a deterrent effect on children. From this,
problems can be formulated related to how the process of resolving child cases is through
litigation and non-litigation at the Police, District Courts, KPPA Ponorogo, as well as LK3
Ponorogo. This research is a qualitative descriptive study, with a sociological juridical
approach, and the data are obtained based on field research to related institutions, then
analyzed by inductive analysis. The settlement of cases of children in conflict with
the Law is conducted by litigation to the Police and the Ponorogo District Court by
the relevant Law. Meanwhile, non-litigation, namely diversion, has not been effective
because it was found that there was a repetition of crimes, such as theft, raiding, which
were carried out by several children, indicating that the non-litigation approach had not
provided a deterrent effect on children. Meanwhile, in non-litigation terms, the roles of
institutions in Ponorogo Regency, such as the KPPA, LK3 are still lacking even though
their handling is by the Child Protection Law and the Child Justice System Law. To see
and understand the handling of children dealing with the Law directly, it is also known
that law enforcement officers in Ponorogo choose to prioritize human values with nonlitigation even though there are not by the Law; this is what contributes to this research.
