SPPA in Law 3/1997 do not provide opti- mal protection for the child considering the law still using formal juridical approach by empha- sizing punishment (retributive) that could po- tentially restrict the freedom and independence depriving children.2 The concept of punishment contained in Law 3/1997 not make the number of juvenile criminal diminishing, but increasing from year to year, as can be seen in Figure 1 below.3 2 Sufriadi Pinim dan Erasmus Napitupulu, 2013, Studi Atas Praktik-Praktik Peradilan Anak di Jakarta, Jakarta: Insti- ture for Criminal Justice Reform, page 14. 3 Yutirsa Yunus, “Analisis Konsep Restorative Justice Me- lalui Sistem Diversi Dalam Sistem Peradilan Pidana Anak Di Indonesia”, Jurnal Rechts Vinding, Vol. 2 No. 2nd Au- mailto:loura.hardjaloka@gmail.com/loura@baharandpartners.com 74 Jurnal Dinamika Hukum Vol. 15 No. 1, January 2015 Figure 1. Number of Child Prisoners in 2010 - 2013 Overcome the weaknesses of Law 3/1997, was issued Law No. 11 of 2012 on Juvenile Jus- tice System (Law 11/2012), which uses the ap- proach of restorative justice through diversion system. Diversion system is the transfer of the settlement of the child to outside the criminal justice process that involves a dialogue with victims, perpetrators, law enforcement offici- als, and the public. The concept of diversion gi- ven by Law 11/2012 which is different from the law 3/1997 only allows versioned conducted by the investigator based on the discretionary au- thority by submitting the return of the child to the parent, guardian, or foster parents. Imple- mentation of restorative justice is not only app- lied in Indonesia, but also in different countries applied for criminal cases in children and adoles- cents as in Illinois, Germany, Canada, Austria, Poland, and Spain. Problem Based on background above, therefore this research is intended to answer the problem as follows: first, how is the concept of resto- rative justice for children in conflict with the law in Law 11/2012; and second, how is the con- cept of restorative justice for children in con- gust 2013, Jakarta: Pusat Penelitian dan Pengembangan Sistem Hukum Nasional Badan Pembinaan Hukum Nasio- nal, page 232. 4 Eva Achjani Zulfa, “Keadilan Restoratif dan Revitalisasi Lembaga Adat di Indonesia”, Jurnal Kriminologi Indone- sia, Vol. 6 No. 2nd August 2010, page 185 5 Kristine Buffington, Carly Dierkhising, dan Shawn Marsh, “Ten Things Every Juvenile Court Should Know About flict with the law in the regulations in other countries. Research Methods This research is using normative juridical approach. Normative research is a legal research using secondary data including legislation, books, and research literature related to the re- search topic. Furthermore, the data were ana- lyzed with content analysis to analyze the for- mulation of the problem and then made a con- clusion and suggestion. Discussion The concept of Restorative Justice through Di- version in Law 11/2012 in Indonesia Children facing conflict with the law in Article 1 point 3 Law 11/2012, is a children at least 12 years old but not yet 18 years old. Con- cept and theories of punishment continues to develop. The goal is to address children in con- flict with the law. Starting from the traditional theory of justice that includes retributive justi- ce, restitutive justice, to the modern theory of justice such as restorative justice.4 Most of the criminal law experts, psycho- logists, and child behavior experts consider that the theory of restorative justice and a good right to be applied in the juvenile criminal justice sys- tem.5 The involvement of the parties is a major prerequisite to the implementation of the juve- nile criminal justice system based on restorative justice. The roles of the parties in criminal jus- tice-based subsidiary of restorative justice is as follows in Table 2.6 Law 11/2012, being passed on July 30, 2012, has embraced the paradigm of restorative justice through diversion system.

Source: Bazemore and Day The use of restorative justice approach in the juvenile criminal justice system defined in Article 5 paragraph (1) of Law 11/2012 that the juvenile criminal justice system shall prioritize restorative justice approach. Restorative justice is the completion of criminal cases involving per- petrators, victims, families’ perpetrator/victim, and other relevant parties to work together to find a fair settlement with emphasis on restoring 7 Nikmah Rosidah, “Pembaharuan Ide Diversi dalam Imple- mentasi Sistem Peradilan Anak di Indonesia”, Jurnal back to the original state, and not retaliation. Restorative justice approach is then implemen- ted through a system of diversion. Diversion is the transfer of the settlement of the child to the criminal justice process outside the criminal jus- tice process. Philosophically, the concept of di- version based on the opinion that the court will give stigmatization of children for their actions as a child is considered evil, so it is better to Masalah-Masalah Hukum, Vol. 41 No. April 2012, page 200. 76 Jurnal Dinamika Hukum Vol. 15 No. 1, January 2015 avoid it out of the criminal justice system.8 Di- version is granted because it fit with the philo- sophy of juvenile criminal justice system to pro- tect and rehabilitate child criminals.9 In addi- tion, the diversion is also performed as an actor prevention of child become adult criminals. Child prevention efforts that brought law enfor- cement officers to take discretionary authority or in the United States is often referred to as deinstitutionalization of the formal criminal jus- tice system.10 Diversion through the concept of resto- rative justice in Law 11/2012 is appropriate and consistent with the goals of diversion contained in the Beijing Rules namely: (i) In order to avoid arrest; (ii) to avoid stamp/stigmatized as cri- minals; (iii) to improve the skills of life for the child actors; (iv) that the perpetrators respon- sible for their actions; (v) to prevent the repe- tition of crime; (vi) to promote the necessary in- terventions for victims and perpetrators, with- out having to go through a formal process; (vii) the program will also prevent the diversion of children follow the justice system.11 Further, in Article 5 paragraph (3) of Law 11/2012 mentions, that the compulsory diver- sion system to be at the stage of investigation, prosecution, and trial. This liability is increa- singly defined through various provisions that oblige the law enforcement agencies include the investigator, the public investigator, and the judge to seek diversion, as follows: Table 4: Liability for Diversion Efforts Law Enforcement under Law 11/2012 Provision Law 11/2012 Liability for Diversion Efforts Article 7 Start checking at all levels of investigation, prosecution, and examination of the matter in court is obliged to seek diversion. Article 28 The investigator is obliged to seek diversion within 7 days after being found with the child. Article 37 The public prosecutor is obliged to seek diversion. Article 49 The judge is obliged to seek diversion. Source: Processed under Law 11/2012 Under Law 11/2012, the diversion is done through deliberations involving the child and the parent/guardian, the victim and/or parent/ guardian, the civic, and the supervising social worker professionals. In case necessary, the deliberations can also involve social welfare per- sonnel, and/or the community. As the process of diversion in a nutshell can be shown in Figure 2. Diversion can be carried out by the com- munity in a way to reconcile both parties i.e. victim and perpetrator. However, diversion can only be done with the permission of the victims and the families of the victim, as well as the willingness of the offender and his family. At- tempts to resolve the matter outside of court should take precedence, even the mediation process was still possible even though the mat- ter had been entered in court. The Tribunal jud- ges who adjudicate must facilitate when reques- ted by the parties, and if the litigants agrees to terms the Council immediately halted. Here it is seen that the criminal law as a remedial abso- lutely ultimatum applied. 8 Robert John Zagar, “Delinquency Best Treatments: How to Divert Youths from Violence While Saving Lives and Detention Costs”, Behavioral Sciences & The Law, Vol. 31 No. 3rd June 2013, page 385. 9 Douglas Abrams, “A Primer on Juvenile Protective Le- gislation”, Juvenile and Family Court Journal, Vol. 65 No. 3rd September 2014, page 25. 10 Shelly Jackson, Janet Warren, dan Jessica Jones Coburn, “A Community-Based Model for Remediating Juveniles Adjudicated Incompetent to Stand Trial: Feedback From Youth, Attorneys, and Judges”, Juvenile and Family Court Journal, Vol. 65 No. 2nd January 2014, page 25. 11 John Muncie, “International Juvenile (in) Justice: Penal Severity and Rights Compliance”, International Journal for Crime, Justice and Social Democracy, Vol. 2 No. 2nd July 2013, page 55.

As for such a significant change is the adoption of restorative justice or negotiations (balanced or restorative 12 Korey Wahwassuck, “The New Face of Justice: Joint Tri- bal-State Jurisdiction”, Juvenile and Family Court Jour- nal, Vol. 60 No. 1st December 2009, page 15. 13 Erna Olafson dan Julie Kenniston, “Obtaining Informa- tion From Children In the Justice System”, Juvenile and justice orientation). The implementation of res- torative justice through versioned also applied in 17 areas in Illinois but not yet in the entire region.12 The implementation of the principle of ba- lanced and restorative justice seeks to balance all the affected parties of any crimes committed by children, as victims, perpetrators, and com- munities. The purpose of the concept of resto- rative justice or negotiations (balanced or res- torative justice orientation) is as follows in Tab- le 6.13 The Prosecutor in children’s condem- nation will provide the opportunity for the de- fendant to undergo a program of restorative jus- tice through the system are versioned. As for restorative justice programs through the diver- sion system offered in Illinois, among other com- munity mediation panels, negotiations between the victim and offender, social services pro- grams, restitution, and other programs that can provide opportunities for children to be respon- sible for his actions at once aimed at rehabili- tation and restoration without the need through the judiciary.14 Community mediation panels Family Court Journal, Vol. 59 No. 4th November 2008, page 80. 14 Illinois Criminal Justice Commission, 2012, Policies and Procedures of The Illinois Juvenile Justice System, Chi- cago: Illinois Criminal Justice Information Authority, pa- ge 10-12. 78 Jurnal Dinamika Hukum Vol. 15 No. 1, January 2015 forms by the country’s lawyers to provide an op- portunity for members of the community to be involved in child delinquency which is through community involvement is expected to help the child understand the seriousness of the acts that he did, and the effects of his actions to the public. Table 6. The Purpose of Restorative Justice Concept in Illinois Form as Accountability Security Community Development of Competencies The concept of restorative justice or negotia- tions (balanced or restorative justice orien- tation) is intended to provide the opportu- nity for the child to being able the perpetra- tors responsible for the crimes that have been made and simultaneously provide the opportunity for players to improve his offen- se. The concept of restorative justice or negotiations (balanced or restorative justice orientation) is keep the security community. The security community can be created with this principle by means of building relationships and strengthening communities to take on the role for the welfare of its members. The concept of restorative justi- ce or negotiations (balanced or restorative justice orientation) seeks to improve the competen- cies of competence the princi- pals that can be useful for social life. Sumber: Olafson and Kenniston The SPPA Concept of Restorative Justice in Germany Children’s condemnation in Germany is re- gulated in the Code of Criminal Law (article 46a), the Code of Criminal Procedure (article 153a) and the Juvenile Justice Act 1953 as amended Youth Court Law Amendment Act 1990. Article 45 and article 47 of the Juvenile Justice Act 1953 as amended Youth Court Law Amendment Act 1990 makes it clear that the Prosecutor and judge must consider measures of non-condemnation compared to the overthrow of the criminal. In Brandenberg, the Prosecutor must refer any case children toward good mediation out- side the courts or special case of children use a mediator to conduct mediation in juvenile court. If the mediation is successful, then the Prosecutor will terminate the case in respect of crimes committed are not serious, while serious crime for which the perpetrators have signi- ficant criminal records then the public prose- cutor must still process such still pay attention to the results of mediation.15 The SPPA Concept of Restorative Justice in Canada Section 717 Criminal Code and The Young Offenders Act 4 of 1984 set about restorative justice through versioned on children’s condem- nation. The existence of such provisions effect- ed because the police and the Court considers criminal justice was not in accordance with the principle of the best interests of the child or the public. Therefore, it takes a step outside the court that can encourage the involvement of families and communities in solving cases, i.e. through restorative justice programs. These are some programs restorative justice for criminal offenders, as follows:16 Table 7: Restorative Justice Programs for Children in Canada Program Description Pre-Charge Restorative Program A move made after a child caught doing the deed, but on condition that certain criminal police would not specify the perpetrators as a defendant. As for the conditions that must be met is that the offender must be willing to participate in the pre-charge restorative programs defined as a form of accountability. In addition, the police can also recommend family actors to participate in this program. Post-Charge Restorative Program A move made after the offender has children is officially designated as a defendant in a court procedure but has not started yet. 15 Arthur Hartmann, “Victim-Offender-Mediation in Germa- ny”, British Journal of Community Justice, Vol. 6 No. 2nd April 2008, page 145. 16 Andrew Becroft, “Children and Young People in Conflict With The Law: Asking The Hard Questions”, Juvenile and Family Court Journal, Vol. 57 No. 4th September 2006, page 25. Criminal Justice System of Children: An Overview Restorative Justice Concept... 79 Post Sentence Program A move made after the offender has been sentenced by a juvenile court. In the verdict, the judge may decide that the offender participate in certain programs as part of the punishment, or in addition to punishment. Youth Justice Committees Juvenile Court Committee is one of the program’s implementation of the principles of restorative justice in the criminal process. In this case the members of the Committee met with the victim, the defendant’s son, and parents (both the defendant and the victim) to negotiate the best course of action that can be performed by actors in order to improve his offense. In addition, the Committee also takes care of the implementation program of pre-and post-charge given to the perpetrators. Further, the Committee will ensure there is community support to child abusers by means of involving actors in social activities and schedule of certain members of the public to provide mentoring and supervision. The Committee will also assist coordination between child protection agencies by the SPPA. Restorative Conferences Restorative talks provided for in Section 19-Young Offenders Act 1984. The talks are aimed at increasing the involvement of the victim and members of the community in the criminal case of the child. As for the negotiations are negotiations involving restorative principals, orban, and members of the community and produce a verdict which is to provide compensation to victims for acts committed by the offender. As for the kinds of negotiations can be restorative (i) family group conferences; (ii) youth justice committee, (iii) reconciliation between the victim and the offender; (iv) sentencing circles17; (v) community accountability panels18; and (vi) inter-agency case conferences. As for the purpose of these negotiations is to provide opinions on the type of the corresponding punishment that can be meted out to the perpetrators. Source: Becroft The SPPA Concept of Restorative Justice in Austria Children’s condemnation Austria is regu- lates in article 7 and article 8 the Juvenile Act of 1988. The implementation of restorative jus- tice in Austria is carried out through the media- tion of the penal (Victim-Offender Mediation) in which the final outcome of mediation was repor- ted to the public prosecutor. Mediation can be done directly, where victims and perpetrators are present together, or indirectly, where the victim and the offender does not meet the facili- tated by the mediator (shuttle mediation).1917 The SPPA Concept of Restorative Justice in Po- land Poland does not control the restorative justice expressly in the Juvenile Justice Act, ho- wever indirectly steel penal mediation for crimi- nal offenders committed by juvenile court judge or by a registered mediator. Mediation is done in the early stages of the trial in order to reach an agreement on how the offender can account for his actions. The results of the mediation will be strengthened in the judge’s ruling. Results on mediation in General may include actions that can be performed by the offender accountable for his actions but still has elements of edu- cational, non-conditional, or returned to the pa- rents.20 The SPPA Concept of Restorative Justice in Spain The application of the concept of restora- tive justice through versioned in system child- ren’s condemnation is regulated in Law 4/92 as amended by Law 5/2000 regarding in criminal justice system for children. Basically penal me- diation can be used in 2 ways:21 17 In this case, victim, offender, family, and community members meet the judges, lawyers, and others to give recommendation for the judge about the kind of punish- ment that should be accepted by the offender. 18 A negotiation which was attended by community leaders, perpetrators, victims (if wanted), and parents actors to reach an agreement fixes the error. 19 Gordon Bazemore, Jay Zaslaw, dan Danielle Riester, “Be- hind the Walls and Beyond: Restorative Justice, Instru- mental Communities, and Effective Residential Treat- ment”, Juvenile and Family Court Journal, Vol. 56 No. 1 January 2005, page 60. 20 Anna Mestitz, “Organisational Features of Victim-Of- fender Mediation with Youth Offenders in Europe”, Bri- tish Journal of Community Justice, Vol. 6 No. 2 April 2008, page 66. 21 Lindsay Arthur, “Tomorrow’s Choices”, Juvenile and Fa- mily Court Journal, Vol. 61 No. 3 July 2010, page 30. 17 80 Jurnal Dinamika Hukum Vol. 15 No. 1, January 2015 Table 8: Limitation of Children Age Dealing with Law in Other Country As a form of Diversion by Prosecutors Before the case is tried Upon request of the public prosecutor or the other Parties For Delays Condemnation by the Court until the Penal Mediation Completed The public prosecutors can refer to penal mediation implementation allows the perpetrator to fix or show his desire to improve his offense to the victim. In this case, the public prosecutor shall not take any action to force abusers as well as meet its stated in the mediation agreement. In this case, the judge will ask mediator of the initial report stated that the case deserves to do mediation. When the mediation has been completed and there has been agreement on a results agreement of mediation, the mediator shall submit a final report to the judge and the judge will consider the results of the mediation decision whether mediation is appropriate decision or need to be sentenced to another. Source: Arthur Closing Conclusion The enactment of Law 11/2012, the SPPA in Indonesia has implemented the concept of restorative justice through versioned. This pro- vision simply accommodate the concept of res- torative justice through diversion system with thrust of things regarding: (a) the obligation to give precedence to the completion of the child through the process of criminal diversion; (b) the duty of every law enforcement agencies to seek diversion at every level examination; and (c) the existence and tasks of professional social workers, social welfare personnel, as well as the community supervisor. As for the diversion pro- cess is done through deliberations involving the child and the parent/guardian, the victim and/ or parent/guardian, the civic, and the super- vising social workers professionals. Deliberation can involve social welfare personnel, and/or the community, in the event it is necessary. Besides Indonesia, many in other countries are first applied the concept of restorative jus- tice through versioned. In General, any other country done diversion for the best interests of the child (the perpetrators) are implemented in the form of mediation. Children are expected to account for his actions without going through the courts. Suggestion Needed the support of the various parties in order to implement the concept of restorative justice through the system are versioned. The support, among others, as follows: Makers of Laws and Regulation Law Enforcement Officers Community To speed up the formation of a go- vernment regulation that governs technically on the implementation process of the diversion, the proce- dures, the implementation and coor- dination of versioned, as mandated in article e15 of ACT 11/2012. In the future, the law enforcement agencies would also have to change the paradigm of retributive to resto- rative in the resolution of criminal cases. In addition, it would also in- crease the capacity and quality of the law enforcement officers throu- gh adequate education and training, in order that the process carried out in accordance with the diversion ap- proach the concept of restorative justice which is ideal. To improve the effectiveness of the imple- mentation of the concept of restorative jus- tice through versioned system then needed an increase in community awareness regar- ding the understanding of children’s rights and the process of diversion. So it can be created in common views and community participation in the protection of the right of the child through the process of diversion. In addition, it takes the cooperation with the community to provide support and accept the criminal perpetrators of the community again.
