Abstract

This study explores the application of the Diversified Penal System for
Children (DPS) in overcoming the phenomenon of juvenile delinquency,
focusing on the application of Restorative Justice in Badan Pemasyarakatan
(BAPAS) Kelas II (Class II Correctional Institution) in Samarinda. This study
aims to analyze the role of the Bapas in handling law cases involving
children, especially in the context of sexual crimes. The data were gathered
through normative legal research and secondary data sources, such as legal
documents and interviews with key stakeholders, including the Head of
Client Guidance of Bapas Kelas II Wonosari, the Judge of the Bantul District
Court, and child investigators at the Samarinda Regional Police. This study
examined the challenges faced by the Bapas in handling cases of child
offenders and Bapas’ recommendations and suggestions. The findings of this
study are hoped to shed light on the role of Bapas in Indonesia's legal
framework, particularly the Juvenile Justice System Law of 2012.
