Abstract

The implementation of the constitution number 11 stated in the 2012 regarding the justice sys- tem of children commit with crime in Indone- sia, which enables to apply restorative justice, has been running for 7 years. The purpose of restorative justice was providing chances for youth commit with crimes to be handled by diversion, therefore the principle “the best interest of child” could be achieved. This research was aimed at understanding the imple- mentation of restorative justice for children commit with crime in Indonesia, particularly in the stage of constabulary. The method of this research was using the qualitative method. Data were collected by interviewing the police, resocialization officers, offenders, victims, and community in Surabaya, Kediri and Jombang (East Java). Results from this study showed that the implementation of restorative justice has not been optimal in some areas, which include: (1) the facility (insufficiency of the availability the social rehabilitation body), (2) the practice has not been standardized (diver- sity of involvement on the mediator parties, (3) the ability of police in conducting medi- ation process (lack of ability to understand children’ perspective, lack of ability in iden- tifying children’ disorder, lack of ability in mediation), (4) the result of mediation has not been maximal (inappropriate decision for law breaker/victim). It was expected that the results from this study could be followed up by the significant parties. The researchers planned to design a mediation module to improve the skills of police in conducting mediation.
