Popis: This chapter examines the diversion practice for perpetrators of child crimes in Indonesia. Diversion is a form of legitimacy in resolving child problems as perpetrators of crimes outside the court; this is done because the child is still in the developmental stage. Children must be protected and receive special treatment; the state must protect and treat them differently from adults. This chapter will present qualitative data in the form of experiences in solving the problems of child offenders through diversion to achieve restorative justice. Deliberation between the victim's family and the perpetrator is a potentially viable solution for children. The goal is to find a fair resolution. Diversion takes away the motivation to retaliate against child offenders. Thus, diversion is a desirable option to resolve legal issues to achieve justice that prioritizes the interests of children.
