The document discusses penal mediation as an alternative approach for resolving juvenile delinquency cases in Indonesia. It finds that juvenile delinquency is influenced by factors such as identity issues, lack of self-control, family problems, poor quality of surroundings, and economic issues. The document examines different models of penal mediation used internationally and describes the consensus-based model used in some areas of Indonesia which involves families, community leaders, and police. It argues penal mediation aligns with restorative justice and could be a better approach for juvenile cases compared to the traditional retributive system.

Models of the settlement effort for communal conflictsAlexander Decker
This document summarizes two communal conflicts in Indonesia - one between villages in Central Lombok Regency and another between villages in Bima Regency, West Nusa Tenggara province. For the Central Lombok conflict, historical, social, economic, and legal factors contributed, including a belief that one village was descended from ancient kings and a lack of strong early law enforcement. For the Bima conflict, historical tensions dating back to resistance against Dutch colonizers in the early 1900s have led to four stages of conflict between the villages over the past century. The document analyzes causal factors and discusses potential legal and non-legal models for settling communal conflicts.

This document summarizes two communal conflict case studies in Indonesia and discusses models for settling such conflicts. It describes conflicts between villages in Central Lombok and Bima regencies that occurred over multiple stages from 1907-2009. The conflicts involved violence, deaths, and the use of weapons. The document then discusses legal issues around why such conflicts occur and effective settlement models. It analyzes Indonesia's civil law system and laws that could apply to communal conflicts, like the Criminal Code. The ideal is a model that guarantees legal certainty and justice through both penal and non-penal efforts.

IMPLEMENTATION OF DIVERSION IN THE SETTLEMENT OF CRIMINAL CASES CHILDREN IN C...AJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT: This study investigates the implementation of diversion by the Indonesian National Police as a
strategy for resolving cases involving children in conflict with the law. One of the challenges encountered by
investigators from the Indonesian National Police (POLRI) pertains to the utilization of discretionary authority
in their investigative processes. The present study investigates the implementation of diversion by the
Indonesian National Police as a means of resolving cases involving children in conflict with the law. One of the
challenges encountered by investigators from the Indonesian National Police (POLRI) pertains to the exercise of
discretionary power in resolving cases involving juvenile offenders who face the possibility of imprisonment
exceeding a duration of seven years. This issue arises from the provisions outlined in Law Number 11 of 2012,
which governs the Juvenile Criminal Justice System in Indonesia. According to this law, the diversion of
juvenile offenses is mandated only for those offenses that carry a maximum prison sentence of less than seven
years. The present study employs a normative-empirical legal methodology, drawing upon primary and
secondary sources. The process of data collection involved conducting interviews and conducting a study of
relevant literature in libraries. The data were subjected to qualitative normative analysis techniques. This study
applies the theory of restorative justice as a grand theory, justice theory as a middle-range theory, and legal
protection theory as an applied theory to analyze the provided data. The findings of the study indicate that the
implementation of diversion during the investigation phase lacks effectiveness and efficiency in adhering to the
principles of justice, namely simplicity, expediency, and cost-effectiveness. This is primarily attributed to the
bureaucratic nature of the diversion procedure, as well as the complex and administratively challenging
mediation process, which involves numerous elements. Furthermore, it is worth noting that the Indonesian
National Police (POLRI) investigators possess the ability to pursue diversion as a course of action in cases
involving juvenile offenses. This particular measure is applicable even in situations where the offense carries a
potential prison sentence exceeding seven years. The discretionary authority exercised by law enforcement
officials in this regard is justified by the absence of explicit provisions within the SPPA Law that explicitly
prohibit the application of diversion for criminal acts that are punishable by imprisonment for more than seven
years. However, the utilization of police discretion in this particular scenario must adhere to the restrictions,
prerequisites, or standards for implementing restorative justice as outlined in the Chief of Police Circular
Number SE/8/VII/2018, which pertains to the utilization of restorative justice in the resolution of criminal cases.
This document discusses restorative justice as an approach to criminal justice that focuses on the needs of victims, offenders, and communities. It defines restorative justice and outlines its key principles, including viewing crimes as conflicts between individuals that cause injuries, aiming to reconcile parties and repair harm, and facilitating active participation of victims, offenders, and communities to find solutions. The document also discusses using restorative justice and mediation in Indonesia's criminal justice system to provide alternatives to punishment and protect victims' human dignity while encouraging offenders to take responsibility.
This document provides an overview of the juvenile justice system in Nepal. It discusses the legal framework which includes international conventions that Nepal has ratified as well as domestic laws like the Constitution and Children Act. The key principles of the juvenile justice system are that it must be rational, humane and child-centered. The legal procedures for handling juvenile cases are also outlined, including designating a special police unit, conducting inquiries in a child-friendly manner, forming a juvenile bench with social workers, and informing parents/guardians of proceedings. The document provides context on juvenile justice reforms in Nepal.
The document discusses juvenile delinquency, which refers to illegal or antisocial behavior by children and adolescents. It outlines several theories for the causes of youth crime, including strain theory proposed by Robert Merton, which suggests that lack of access to legitimate means of success due to factors like poverty can lead youth to crime. The document also describes a new juvenile justice law in the Philippines that emphasizes restorative justice and diversion of youth offenders from the criminal justice system whenever possible.
Applying Restorative Justice in case of Child Victims and OffendersSonal Sheth
India’s existing legal and institutional framework has several dimensions that address the psychosocial needs of children in both cases, when they are victims as well as offenders. Scope of improvisation remains in terms of implementation of the psychosocial care where Restorative Justice offers better framework. Also, Restorative Justice offers broader inclusion of stakeholders and addresses multiple needs. With help of skilled facilitators the quality of justice received by children can become better and also possibly transformative.

The purpose of this thesis is to analyze the policy formulation requested through social media as an effort to resolve criminal acts outside the criminal justice system in the future. that exist in normative or doctrinal research methods, namely research using primary legal materials, secondary legal materials, and tertiary legal materials.According to the results of this study, it shows that the settlement of cases by apologizing through social media for criminal acts, still does not have definite and comprehensive regulations, so that each criminal justice sub system resolves criminal cases by means of restorative justice based on its own initiative. In the future, it is hoped that the settlement will be through restorative justice so that the agenda must be carried out by the criminal justice sub system starting from the Police, the Prosecutors Office and the Court to resolve it first, with one example being giving the perpetrator the opportunity to request via social media.

Combating Juvenile Delinquency
Juvenile delinquency is an umbrella term for the different forms of criminal behavior
displayed by youth under the age of 18. Theories that have emerged to explain juvenile
delinquency are based on multiple factors such as biological, social, and psychological
factors. Juvenile delinquency is often a sign of neglect by parents, peers, and the community
toward the problems faced by children (Regoli, 1). This assessment will discuss programs
based in New York City that aim to reduce juvenile delinquency along with ideas that can
help prevent future juvenile delinquency. The assessment will also discuss the theoretical
frameworks that underlie the interventions that shape policies on juvenile delinquency
regulation.
Existing Policies on Delinquency Prevention
All juvenile delinquency prevention/reduction programs active in New York City
operate in conjunction with the New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services (New
York State, 2). Two programs that are active in New York City are the Queens Engagement
Strategies for Teens (QUEST) program (Center for Court Innovation, 3) and the Schenectady
Juvenile Mental Health Diversion Project (New York State Juvenile Justice Advisory Group,
4). The Center for Court Innovation launched QUEST in collaboration with important mental
health and law enforcement agencies in New York City and State. This program can be
accessed by youths whose cases are pending in juvenile courts and who have been screened
for at least one mental health disorder. A youth is enrolled in this program after being ordered
by judges of family courts or referred by the Department of Probation. The youth is assessed
for mental health disorders and can participate in the program with the consent of a parent or
a legal guardian. Once enrolled, he or she participates in on-site group and individual
psychoeducational sessions that cover issues such as depression, suicidal tendencies, and lack
of emotional intelligence and consequential thinking (Center for Court Innovation, 3). This

program also provides access to community-based services such as family or individual

public assistance programs, skill training, and employment opportunities. Though the
initiative aims to minimize rearrests, approximately 20% of children enrolled in the program
between 2008 and 2011 faced rearrests (Center for Court Innovation, 5).

This document proposes a hybrid police-youth interaction program to be piloted in middle schools. The program would have two components: 1) A classroom game called "JJJeopardy" that educates youth about juvenile law and positive decision making; and 2) An after-school program called "Side By Side" where police and youth build relationships through team-building activities and community service. The goal is to improve police-youth relations, educate youth, and encourage minority youth to consider law enforcement careers. The program aims to address racial disparities still seen in school arrest rates by providing cross-cultural training for police and youth.

Abstract
The Juvenile Justice Systems has been established with a significant aim of diverting adolescent offender’s destructive punitive actions of criminal courts as well as encouraging youth rehabilitation that is based on the needs of an individual juvenile. This system differs from adult criminal courts in numbers of ways. It looks at an adolescent as a person who needs assistance, instead of looking at the act that made him or her appearance before the court. The judge ought to act in the best suitable interests of the child. Juvenile court proceedings were always closed to the public. Juvenile records were also to remain very confidential so that they do not to interfere with the ability of the child or adolescent to be rehabilitated and merged back into the society. Juveniles are never charged with any crimes, instead of with delinquencies. They are never found guilty but instead, are considered delinquent. They are never sent to prison, but rather to training schools or reformatories. Treatment that incorporates the provision of educational facilities for juvenile offenders, counseling, and guidance, etc. are far better off than punishments that involve prison sentences or fines. This is so because a child would feel loved and cared for. This element plants a seed of love into the juvenile offender’s heart making him or her better person. On the other hand, however, punishment makes them more aware of their criminal character because it gives them what they deserve. They live in self-condemnation.

This document discusses juvenile justice reforms in Central and Eastern Europe and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CEE/CIS) region over the past decade. Some key achievements include:
1) Governments have increasingly committed to comprehensive juvenile justice system reform and improved transparency.
2) Legislation in most countries is now in line with international standards regarding issues like sentencing and use of detention.
3) The principle of using detention only as a last resort is increasingly recognized in law and policy, resulting in declining detention rates in some countries.
4) Diversion and mediation schemes are developing, though remain limited in most countries.
This document discusses approaches to crime prevention, including situational prevention, social development prevention, and community policing approaches. Situational prevention aims to reduce criminal opportunities, social development prevention focuses on improving life chances for at-risk youth, and community policing is based on cooperation between police and the community. The most effective crime prevention requires involvement from law enforcement, schools, social services, and the community working together.
The document discusses juvenile delinquency and legal aspects related to juveniles who break the law. It defines juvenile delinquency as illegal or criminal behavior by children between 10-18 years old. Criminologists view delinquency as violations of legal and social norms, from minor offenses to serious crimes. Statistics show juvenile group crime is most prevalent among 14-year-olds. Subcultures and peer groups can influence delinquent behavior. The Juvenile Justice Act of 2000 aims to provide care, protection and rehabilitation of juveniles in conflict with the law or in need of care. The proposed amendments allow those 16 years or older to be tried as adults for heinous crimes like rape and murder. It also
In our society juvenile offenders are increasing day by day and juvenile delinquency crime is one of the burning
issues in all over the world. So the purpose of the article is to reduce juvenile delinquency from the society. The article explains
who is juvenile. The study focus on reasons behind juvenile offender. The paper argues that family problem, social
environment, mantle torture, educational dissatisfaction and lack of legal provisions are also factors that constitute such
offender. The paper reveals the historical development about the definition, legal provisions and Acts on juvenile offender. The
article describes what step should be taken to improve their situation in the society.
The document discusses juvenile justice systems and how they handle juveniles who commit crimes. It notes that juveniles' brains are still developing so they may have difficulty weighing decisions and consequences. Research shows the frontal lobe, which controls advanced functions, develops last. The system aims to rehabilitate youth rather than solely punish them. Factors like substance abuse, trauma and lack of guidance can influence juvenile delinquency.
Child In Conflict With Law Under Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection) Act 2...Free Law - by De Jure
Children are one of the most valued assets of the future generation who are required to be protected. Recently, there is an unprecedented increase in the juvenile crime rate. This is due to many changes such as behavioral change, lack of education, subjugation, upbringing environment, harassment, lack of parental care, sexual indulgence, violent treatment, poverty, and the advent of modern lifestyle. Shrewd criminals indulge children in criminal activities especially, the ones between 6-12 years because at this point minds are innocent and can be easily manipulated as well as lure them to the world of crime. However, children below 7 years of age cannot be held criminally responsible for an offence because of a lack of understandability and are known as “Doli Incapax Maxim”.
The document discusses the role of criminology and the criminal justice system in addressing and solving crime. It argues that learning criminology helps understand the root causes of criminal behavior in order to develop effective prevention and rehabilitation approaches. An efficient criminal justice system that involves law enforcement, corrections, courts, and the community working together can prevent crime, punish offenders, rehabilitate criminals, and maintain peace. Regular assessment of community awareness and professional development for authorities ensures the criminal justice system adapts to solve crime effectively. Overall, the document advocates for a holistic approach involving education, criminal justice institutions, and community partnerships to address the complex social problem of crime.
Crime prevention is an important issue that requires cooperation between communities and police. Effective crime prevention strategies include community policing where police and the public work together through activities like neighborhood watch programs. Prevention programs target at-risk youth and repeat offenders to help reduce recidivism and curb criminal behaviors. While increased policing has impacted crime rates, long-term solutions require a collaborative approach between law enforcement and social services.
The document discusses crime and legislation in the UK. It provides information about key acts like the Crime and Disorder Act 1998, which created partnerships between agencies to reduce crime. It also discusses sentencing and orders that courts can issue to offenders, including community orders, financial penalties, and restorative justice. The purposes of sentencing are outlined as punishment, crime reduction, reform, protection of the public, and making reparations.
The document discusses education for children in the juvenile justice system. It provides an overview of the juvenile justice system, including its principles of prioritizing a child's rights and interests, and only using deprivation of liberty as a last resort. It describes the main actors in the system, including the Department of Juvenile Justice and Community, and shares key data on the number of minors involved. It outlines the right to education both inside and outside of detention facilities according to international agreements. Examples of educational projects for children in the system aim to facilitate their social and work reintegration.

The objectives and obligations of zakat are outlined, including establishing social welfare and protecting people from poverty. While some deny zakat obligations on non-traditional wealth, scholars justify including modern assets by citing Quranic principles of imposing zakat on all wealth.

This document discusses the phenomenon of life for the poor in city slums. It notes that slums tend to grow rapidly along with population growth, as low-income communities can only afford to build homes in undesignated areas. These slum settlements lack proper infrastructure and facilities. The document examines theories related to urban poverty and slums, and notes that existing theories are incremental and do not fully explain the links between urban poverty and slum formation. It also provides details on the locations and growth of slums in Semarang City, Indonesia, noting that slum areas lack orderly development and proper sanitation.

This document proposes a hybrid police-youth interaction program to be piloted in middle schools. The program would have two components: 1) A classroom game called "JJJeopardy" that educates youth about juvenile law and positive decision making; and 2) An after-school program called "Side By Side" where police and youth build relationships through team-building activities and community service. The goal is to improve police-youth relations, educate youth, and encourage minority youth to consider law enforcement careers. The program aims to address racial disparities still seen in school arrest rates by providing cross-cultural training for police and youth.

Abstract
The Juvenile Justice Systems has been established with a significant aim of diverting adolescent offender’s destructive punitive actions of criminal courts as well as encouraging youth rehabilitation that is based on the needs of an individual juvenile. This system differs from adult criminal courts in numbers of ways. It looks at an adolescent as a person who needs assistance, instead of looking at the act that made him or her appearance before the court. The judge ought to act in the best suitable interests of the child. Juvenile court proceedings were always closed to the public. Juvenile records were also to remain very confidential so that they do not to interfere with the ability of the child or adolescent to be rehabilitated and merged back into the society. Juveniles are never charged with any crimes, instead of with delinquencies. They are never found guilty but instead, are considered delinquent. They are never sent to prison, but rather to training schools or reformatories. Treatment that incorporates the provision of educational facilities for juvenile offenders, counseling, and guidance, etc. are far better off than punishments that involve prison sentences or fines. This is so because a child would feel loved and cared for. This element plants a seed of love into the juvenile offender’s heart making him or her better person. On the other hand, however, punishment makes them more aware of their criminal character because it gives them what they deserve. They live in self-condemnation.

This document discusses juvenile justice reforms in Central and Eastern Europe and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CEE/CIS) region over the past decade. Some key achievements include:
1) Governments have increasingly committed to comprehensive juvenile justice system reform and improved transparency.
2) Legislation in most countries is now in line with international standards regarding issues like sentencing and use of detention.
3) The principle of using detention only as a last resort is increasingly recognized in law and policy, resulting in declining detention rates in some countries.
4) Diversion and mediation schemes are developing, though remain limited in most countries.
This document discusses approaches to crime prevention, including situational prevention, social development prevention, and community policing approaches. Situational prevention aims to reduce criminal opportunities, social development prevention focuses on improving life chances for at-risk youth, and community policing is based on cooperation between police and the community. The most effective crime prevention requires involvement from law enforcement, schools, social services, and the community working together.
The document discusses juvenile delinquency and legal aspects related to juveniles who break the law. It defines juvenile delinquency as illegal or criminal behavior by children between 10-18 years old. Criminologists view delinquency as violations of legal and social norms, from minor offenses to serious crimes. Statistics show juvenile group crime is most prevalent among 14-year-olds. Subcultures and peer groups can influence delinquent behavior. The Juvenile Justice Act of 2000 aims to provide care, protection and rehabilitation of juveniles in conflict with the law or in need of care. The proposed amendments allow those 16 years or older to be tried as adults for heinous crimes like rape and murder. It also
In our society juvenile offenders are increasing day by day and juvenile delinquency crime is one of the burning
issues in all over the world. So the purpose of the article is to reduce juvenile delinquency from the society. The article explains
who is juvenile. The study focus on reasons behind juvenile offender. The paper argues that family problem, social
environment, mantle torture, educational dissatisfaction and lack of legal provisions are also factors that constitute such
offender. The paper reveals the historical development about the definition, legal provisions and Acts on juvenile offender. The
article describes what step should be taken to improve their situation in the society.
The document discusses juvenile justice systems and how they handle juveniles who commit crimes. It notes that juveniles' brains are still developing so they may have difficulty weighing decisions and consequences. Research shows the frontal lobe, which controls advanced functions, develops last. The system aims to rehabilitate youth rather than solely punish them. Factors like substance abuse, trauma and lack of guidance can influence juvenile delinquency.
Child In Conflict With Law Under Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection) Act 2...Free Law - by De Jure
Children are one of the most valued assets of the future generation who are required to be protected. Recently, there is an unprecedented increase in the juvenile crime rate. This is due to many changes such as behavioral change, lack of education, subjugation, upbringing environment, harassment, lack of parental care, sexual indulgence, violent treatment, poverty, and the advent of modern lifestyle. Shrewd criminals indulge children in criminal activities especially, the ones between 6-12 years because at this point minds are innocent and can be easily manipulated as well as lure them to the world of crime. However, children below 7 years of age cannot be held criminally responsible for an offence because of a lack of understandability and are known as “Doli Incapax Maxim”.
The document discusses the role of criminology and the criminal justice system in addressing and solving crime. It argues that learning criminology helps understand the root causes of criminal behavior in order to develop effective prevention and rehabilitation approaches. An efficient criminal justice system that involves law enforcement, corrections, courts, and the community working together can prevent crime, punish offenders, rehabilitate criminals, and maintain peace. Regular assessment of community awareness and professional development for authorities ensures the criminal justice system adapts to solve crime effectively. Overall, the document advocates for a holistic approach involving education, criminal justice institutions, and community partnerships to address the complex social problem of crime.
Crime prevention is an important issue that requires cooperation between communities and police. Effective crime prevention strategies include community policing where police and the public work together through activities like neighborhood watch programs. Prevention programs target at-risk youth and repeat offenders to help reduce recidivism and curb criminal behaviors. While increased policing has impacted crime rates, long-term solutions require a collaborative approach between law enforcement and social services.

This document discusses the phenomenon of life for the poor in city slums. It notes that slums tend to grow rapidly along with population growth, as low-income communities can only afford to build homes in undesignated areas. These slum settlements lack proper infrastructure and facilities. The document examines theories related to urban poverty and slums, and notes that existing theories are incremental and do not fully explain the links between urban poverty and slum formation. It also provides details on the locations and growth of slums in Semarang City, Indonesia, noting that slum areas lack orderly development and proper sanitation.
This document summarizes a paper presented at the Kuala Lumpur International Business, Economics and Law Conference in 2014. The paper discusses the relationship between open trade, economic growth, and environmental regulations in Iran. It notes that while economic growth is important, fast growth can damage the environment. There is a potential conflict between policies promoting growth and those protecting the natural world. The paper also examines international environmental law and various trade measures used by governments to protect the environment, as well as how free trade approaches in agreements like GATT can potentially limit some environmental regulations and protections.
This document discusses the impacts of establishing the Indonesian Financial Services Authority (OJK) on Indonesia's central bank. It notes that previously, different institutions regulated different types of financial institutions, which caused weak oversight. The OJK now regulates all financial institutions. Its establishment impacted various aspects of banks and non-bank financial institutions. It also shifted regulatory and supervisory tasks from Bank Indonesia to the OJK. There is a debate around whether oversight should be consolidated or separated, and the document discusses arguments on both sides regarding maintaining monetary stability and preventing conflicts of interest.
This document discusses the role and mandate of the UNHCR (United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees) office in Malaysia and the challenges it faces. It provides background on the establishment of UNHCR and its core mandate to protect refugees internationally on a non-political basis. The document outlines UNHCR's functions such as determining refugee status, providing shelter and assistance, and promoting international refugee conventions. It also discusses UNHCR's supervisory role over the 1951 Refugee Convention and challenges in fulfilling its mandate given limitations but need to engage with political issues among states. The relationship between UNHCR and authorities in Malaysia needs improvement to better respect UNHCR's role and powers in protecting refugees.
This document discusses establishing the "best interests of the child" principle as an international custom. It begins by defining the principle and how it was codified in the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. It then analyzes whether the principle has become customary international law by examining its widespread acceptance and application by states. The document aims to show that treating the principle as customary law would strengthen protections for children by binding all states to consider children's best interests.
This document provides an overview of setting up a business in Indonesia. It discusses Indonesia's geography, political institutions, economy, and key business entities under Indonesian law.

This document discusses factors that influence the regulation of sustainable watershed ecosystems in Indonesia. It notes that watershed degradation has accelerated due to increased natural resource utilization from population growth and economic development. Integrated watershed management is needed to balance ecosystem protection and sustainability. The Solo River watershed management requires stakeholder coordination and an integrated resource management plan developed participatorily. Local regulations are also needed to govern natural resource use across ecosystems and provinces in a sustainable manner balancing optimal utilization and conservation.
This document discusses financing of terrorism and its relationship to money laundering. It explains that financing of terrorism can occur through legitimate sources of money that are then used to fund terrorist activities, known as reverse money laundering. Indonesia has laws that criminalize financing of terrorism from both legal and illegal sources. The document provides background on definitions of terrorism and money laundering. It also outlines Indonesia's laws regarding money laundering and how they have evolved to incorporate financing of terrorism and address recommendations from the Financial Action Task Force.
This document discusses the use of discretionary authority by government officials in Indonesia to issue policy regulations. It argues that discretionary authority is an important tool for officials to carry out their duties optimally and realize good governance, even when existing laws do not provide complete regulation. However, officials often hesitate to use discretion due to doubts about contradicting the principle of legality. The ideal approach is for discretionary authority and policy regulations to work together as responsive and progressive law, facilitating diverse public needs. Officials need guidance to adopt progressive attitudes and confidence that discretionary actions will be legally justified if they realize good governance.
The document discusses indigenous community-based management as a new paradigm for natural resource management. It argues that current top-down management by the government does not involve local communities, but management should directly involve local communities given the complex, diverse characteristics of rural areas and communities' relationship with natural resources. The goal is to review management, find policies that improve local community welfare, and establish principles for resource management that affirm local communities.
This document discusses the regulatory regime of the internet in Malaysia. It provides an overview of how the internet was initially unregulated but licensing requirements were introduced with the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998. It also discusses Malaysia's policy of no censorship of the internet, though some websites have been blocked and individuals prosecuted for unlawful content. The document examines how laws like the Computer Crimes Act and CMA are used to regulate online content within this framework, seeking to understand the interplay between no censorship and regulation of the internet in Malaysia.
The document discusses the role of housewives in consumer protection in the village of Tianyar, Bali, Indonesia. It finds that housewives have an important role in selecting products for family consumption, but lack an understanding of consumer protection laws. Efforts are made through socialization to increase housewives' knowledge of identifying fraudulent products and standards. The role of housewives in product selection and awareness of consumer rights is important for implementing consumer protection laws.
This document summarizes the impact of coal mining waste on women micro, small and medium enterprises in the coastal fisheries sector in Bengkulu Province, Indonesia. Coal mining in the upstream watershed pollutes rivers with coal washing waste, impacting coastal ecosystems and fish resources. This greatly affects the fishing and fish processing businesses run by women in the coastal areas. The coal waste pollution can be detrimental to the women's businesses and livelihoods. Environmental regulations and policies need to provide better protection for coastal communities, especially women involved in fisheries.
This document summarizes a paper about local wisdom in the customary law system of Penglipuran Village in Bali, Indonesia.

The people of Penglipuran still highly respect their customary legal system and have maintained their unique identity and culture through the generations.
This document summarizes the concept of a populist economy in Indonesia's welfare state laws. It discusses how Indonesia's 1945 Constitution established it as a welfare state and features provisions to realize people's welfare through economic regulations. Key aspects of Indonesia's populist economy system include empowering small and medium enterprises, cooperatives, fair market mechanisms, and balancing national planning with decentralization. The document also briefly discusses how Indonesia qualifies as a state of law based on its founding constitution and aspirations of individual rights.
This document summarizes an article discussing problems with compensation for environmental pollution in Indonesia's legal system. It provides background on environmental laws in Indonesia and discusses several cases where communities affected by pollution faced difficulties obtaining compensation. The key issues are that Indonesia's laws clearly state that polluters must pay compensation for harm caused, but in practice this provision has not been properly applied by judicial institutions. As a result, in several major pollution cases, affected communities did not receive adequate compensation or saw their cases rejected in court despite clear environmental damage and losses.

Lifting the Corporate Veil. Power Point Presentationseri bangash
"Lifting the Corporate Veil" is a legal concept that refers to the judicial act of disregarding the separate legal personality of a corporation or limited liability company (LLC). Normally, a corporation is considered a legal entity separate from its shareholders or members, meaning that the personal assets of shareholders or members are protected from the liabilities of the corporation. However, there are certain situations where courts may decide to "pierce" or "lift" the corporate veil, holding shareholders or members personally liable for the debts or actions of the corporation.
Here are some common scenarios in which courts might lift the corporate veil:
Fraud or Illegality: If shareholders or members use the corporate structure to perpetrate fraud, evade legal obligations, or engage in illegal activities, courts may disregard the corporate entity and hold those individuals personally liable.
Undercapitalization: If a corporation is formed with insufficient capital to conduct its intended business and meet its foreseeable liabilities, and this lack of capitalization results in harm to creditors or other parties, courts may lift the corporate veil to hold shareholders or members liable.
Failure to Observe Corporate Formalities: Corporations and LLCs are required to observe certain formalities, such as holding regular meetings, maintaining separate financial records, and avoiding commingling of personal and corporate assets. If these formalities are not observed and the corporate structure is used as a mere façade, courts may disregard the corporate entity.
Alter Ego: If there is such a unity of interest and ownership between the corporation and its shareholders or members that the separate personalities of the corporation and the individuals no longer exist, courts may treat the corporation as the alter ego of its owners and hold them personally liable.
Group Enterprises: In some cases, where multiple corporations are closely related or form part of a single economic unit, courts may pierce the corporate veil to achieve equity, particularly if one corporation's actions harm creditors or other stakeholders and the corporate structure is being used to shield culpable parties from liability.

ABSTRACT
The existing juvenile trial which emphasizes on retributive justice should have been reexamined
and replaced by a new paradigm with restorative justice. In this regard, penal mediation is one of
the attempts to actualize that notion. This research is aimed at: 1) investigating various factors that
contribute to the juvenile delinquency and 2) creating an appropriate penal mediation model as an
alternative in resolving the juvenile delinquency. The approach employed in this study was
phenomenology in which multifaceted social phenomena related to the juvenile delinquency were
examined. In this context, the data were utilized as the basis of instrument in analyzing the issues.
The analysis used was socio-legal theory from Roscoe Pound stating that law is a social
engineering theory. The results of this study demonstrated that: 1) juvenile delinquencies are
triggered by a number of factors encompassing economic, education, social, environment factors
and the lack of religious value implementation, 2) the widely used penal mediation in some areas
in Indonesia is consensus agreement involving families of both parties (victim and offender),
community leaders and police officers that is in accordance with the model developed in Australia
and New Zealand.
Keywords : Juvenile delinquency; penal mediation
INTRODUCTION
Juvenile delinquency should obtain special treatment, attention, consideration,
service, care and protection as what has been regulated in the international instrument of Beijing
Rules, Law Number 3 of 1997 regarding juvenile delinquency and Law Number 23 of 2002
concerning child's protection (Ainal Mardiah, 2012). An alternative dispute resolution is not a
completely new discourse in Indonesian as the traditional society here have undertaken this way
since a long time ago (Hilman Hadikusuma, 1992:247).
Mediation or an alternative dispute resolution in Indonesia has rooted in various
social life aspects and became the culture in traditional society and the state philosophy, Pancasila
with the value of consensus agreement. It indicates that mediation is a feasible, simple and
efficient way used by Indonesians to resolve a dispute including in criminal cases.
Children are the actors of change in this country in the upcoming era. Therefore,
the protection for their future is profoundly necessary. There must be a sense of priority and a
sense of justice in resolving the criminal cases involving children. If the values are not
implemented, their future would be disastrous in the trial which subsequently influences the future
of this country.
The police has socialized and made a one-step forward innovation in terms of
“Criminal Mediation (Penal Mediation)”. Since 2005 the decree of police chief 737/X/2005 about
the policy and strategy of police in the society has been implemented to resolve particular criminal
casesthrough alternative ways. In that decree, the agents of social law enforcement (known in
Indonesian as Babinkamtibmas/Bhabinkamtibmas) in a particular village/sub-district/area have the
authority altogether with society to reconcile a number of criminal cases in order to maintain
peace and avoid wider social conflicts. In 2008, social police strategic policy was consolidated

Vol. 3. 31 May – 1 June 2014. Hotel Putra, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. ISBN 978-967-11350-3-7
with the decree of police chief number 7/2008. The national police attempted to consolidate
“Penal Mediation” through the decree number Pol.: B/3022/XII/2009/Sdeops on 14 December
2009 regarding the handling of cases through Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) viz the
criminal cases with minor lost and agreed by the related parties through consensus agreement that
involves RT/RW (neighborhood associations) and the society, respects legal, social/custom norms
and upholds justice for all parties.
Related to juvenile delinquency, the national police has prioritized the
reconciliation through ADR namely consensus agreement or without any legal procedure so that
the value of justice and purpose will be upheld. The problems formulated in this research are:
What are the factors influencing juvenile delinqu; and What is the most appropriate penal
mediation model to resolve juvenile delinquency?
RESEARCH METHOD
This is qualitative research with normative-empirical approach in that statute, concept and
case approaches were employed (Marzuki, 2005 and Ibrahim 2005). Primary and secondary data
were collected in this study. Furthermore, the research subjects were interviewed with snow ball
and purposive sampling technique. The primary data were flexibly collected and subsequently
analyzed with descriptive qualitative principles in order to find the relationship among dimensions
questioned in this research.
THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
From the outcome of previous study it was known that the jury for a juvenile delinquency
of ABH in Banda Aceh, the district court had initiated a penal mediation to manifest the paradigm
of restorative justice. This mediation was in line with the meaning and purpose of Article 16 Law
Number 23 of 2002 regarding juvenile protection for the betterment, both the victim and the
offender. With that implementation, there has been a paradigm shift from the characteristic of
private law to public law and it became the legal breakthrough initiated by the jury (Ainal Mardiah
et al, 2012).
According to Agus Raharjo (2008), the model of criminal case resolution through non-litigation
(penal mediation) can reduce the perplexing issues of criminal justice by resolving
criminal cases through the civil cases. On the other hand, the mediation of juvenile delinquency in
Purwokerto has not fully implemented the restorative justice because its target tends to avoid the
investigation in the level of prosecution and trial (Angkasa dkk, 2009). In general, the practice of
juvenile law enforcement in Indonesia is still far from the target with the progressive law
approach. In most cases, imprisonment dominates the jury decision (Setyo Wahyudi, 2009).
The elaboration above indicates that the resolution for delinquency has not been fulfilled
and consistent with the value of juvenile welfare. In fact, the ultimate objective of juvenile court is
to accommodate their best interest including physical, mental and social aspects.
The Age of Criminal Responsibility
In juvenile delinquency, the eligible age should be after 8 (eight) and before 18
(eighteen) years old and have not been married. In other words, the age limitation is from 8 (eight)
to 18 (eighteen) years old (Article 1 Clause (2) of Law Number 3/1997). In law number 11 of
2012 about the juvenile criminal delinquency, the age regulated here is 12 (twelve) years old to 18
(eighteen) years old. From some definitions of age limitation related to this study, Law Number
3/1997 becomes the reference here since the new regulation has not been enacted.

The age of criminal responsibility in some countries in the world is different depending
on the background and culture of each state. In Yugoslavia, the limitation is relatively higher than
in Indonesia viz:
a. Children under 14 (fourteen) years old (article 65:1) could not be included in the juvenile
delinquency.
b. Children aged 14 years old up to 16 years old (junior juvenile) could not be imprisoned but
they may receive educative sanction (article 66:1)
c. Children aged 16 years old to 18 years old (senior juvenile) may be imprisoned and
sanctioned (article 66:2) (Barda Nawawi Arief, 2002:99-100).
In Indonesia, the juvenile trial is in effect for children aged 8 (eight) years old to 18 (eighteen)
years old and they have not been married.
Factors Influencing Juvenile Delinquency
Juvenile comes from Latin word, juvenilis meaning children, teenager, characteristics of
youth and particular traits of young generation. Meanwhile delinquent comes from Latin word,
delinquere meaning abandoned and abandoning which is extended to misbehaving, anti social,
criminal and etc. Juvenile delinquency can be defined as the misbehavior of children and youth
and the indication of social misconduct (pathology) due to a social abandonment so that they
develop deviating activities. The term refers to a wide range of behaviors which is unacceptable in
society. Factors influencing juvenile delinquency are:
Identity
During teenage, the youths have to deal with identity issues. The biological and social change
result in two integrations in their identity: firstly, the feeling which is in line with their life and
secondly, the accomplishment of role identity by combining their possessed motivation, value,
ability and style with a self-made demand in order to show their existence. To search their
identity, teenagers sometimes made mistakes.
Self control
Juvenile delinquency is often characterized as the failure to develop sufficient self control in
children/teenager's behavior. Some of them fail to maintain essential values possessed during their
growth. They actually have learned the difference between acceptable and unacceptable behaviors
but the delinquent juveniles are unable to recognize those principles. Besides that, they probably
fail to develop self control as the guidance of their behavior.
Self identity
Boys tend to perform anti social behaviors compared to girls. In this regard, the probability for
boys to commit gang delinquency is 50 times higher than girls.
Expectation for education and values developed at schools
Juveniles who commit delinquency frequently have low expectation for their education at school.
To their view, the benefit of school is considerably limited so that their score tends to be
dissatisfying. Moreover, they do not nurture any motivation to study and frequently skip classes.
Family process
Family has a significant contribution for the emergence of juvenile delinquency. The lack of
family's support such as discipline, parental supervision and care can become a triggering factor in
children/teenager’s misbehavior. Dispute or stress occurred in the family also links directly to
delinquency. Not to mention, genetic factor can evoke the negative behavior though the
percentage is very few.

Influence from friends
Friends committed misconducts can increase the risk of juvenile delinquency. According to a
study conducted for 500 delinquent teenagers and 500 average ones, they who befriend with
troublesome friends have higher possibility to commit delinquency.
Quality of surrounding
Community also plays a significant role in triggering juvenile delinquency. The society with high
criminal records may allow children/teenagers to observe, commit criminality and obtain reward
for that activity. This type of society is often characterized by poverty, unemployment and
marginality from the middle and high group. The quality of school, activities inside and outside
supervision are also linked directly to the juvenile delinquency.
Penal Mediation
Penal Mediation is frequently known in various terms including mediation in criminal
cases of mediation in penal matters. Since this mediation accommodates the meeting between the
offender and the victim, it is also called as Victim-Offender Mediation (VOM), Täter-Opfer-
Ausgleich (TOA), or Offender-Victim Arrangement (OVA).
Penal mediation is regulated in the decree of police chief number Pol:
B/3022/XII/2009/SDEOPS on 14 December 2009 regarding the case handling through alternative
dispute resolution (ADR) and Indonesian national police chief regulation number 7 of 2008 about
the guideline of basis of strategy and the implementation and the providence of police duty. It
regulates the handling of criminal cases through ADR when the material lost is insignificant,
agreed by both parties, conducted by discussion consensus agreement principle, respecting the
social norm/custom, upholding the principle of justice and if ADR is selected, the offender would
not be prosecuted.
Models of Criminal Mediation:
Stated “Explanatory memorandum” from the recommendation of European Council Number R
(99) 19 about Mediation in Penal Matters, there are some models of penal mediation as follow:
a. Informal Mediation Model
This model is implemented by the criminal justice personnels in their normal duty in which it can
be initiated by the general prosecutor by inviting related parties to informally reconcile the
dispute.
b. Traditional Village or Tribal Moots Model
According to this model, all society meet to resolve a disastrous conflict happened among them.
c. Victim-Offender Mediation Model
This model involves all parties and a designated mediator to attend a meeting. There are a number
of variations in this model. The mediation may come from formal official, independent one or
combination of both. It can be implemented in every process starting from the law enforcement by
the policy, before the prosecution or after the court decision.
d. Reparation Negotiation Program Model
This model is merely intended for estimating/assessing the compensation or restoration paid by the
offender to the victim which is usually undertaken during the investigation at the court.

e. Community Panels or Courts Model
This model is a program for directing criminal cases from the prosecution or trial to the social
procedure which is more flexible, informal and frequently involving mediation or negotiation
elements.
f. Family and Community Group Conference Model
It involves the participation of society in the criminal justice in which the victim, the offender, the
family of offender, other members of society, particular officials (such as police and juvenile jury)
and the supporters of the victim are included. The offender and his/her family is expected to make
a comprehensive agreement, satisfy the victim and help the offender from the legal
problem/difficulty.
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
Factors influencing juvenile delinquency
Juvenile delinquency comes from Latin word, juvenilis meaning children, teenager,
characteristics of youth and particular traits of young generation whereas delinquent comes from
Latin word, delinquere meaning abandoned and abandoning which is extended to misbehaving,
anti social, criminal and etc. Juvenile delinquency is misbehaviors of children and youth and the
indication of social misconduct (pathology) due to a social ignorance so that they develop
deviating activities. The term refers to a wide range of behaviors which is unacceptable in society.
It can be emphasized that the delinquency committed by youth/children aged less than 17 years
old tends to be negative and creates damage or lost for themselves and others. Factors influencing
that tendency include the identity issue and self control. Regarding their identity, biological and
social change result in two integrations: firstly, the feeling in line with their life and secondly, the
accomplishment of role identity by integrating possessed motivation, value, skill and style with
the self-created demand. In searching their identity, they sometimes make mistakes. In regard to
self-control, the delinquency can be described as the failure to develop sufficient that ability.
Some of them fail to maintain essential values possessed during their growth. They actually have
learned the difference between acceptable and unacceptable behaviors but the delinquent teenagers
are unable to recognize those principles. They probably fail to develop self control as the guidance
of their behavior.
Besides that, there are some factors influencing juvenile delinquency namely family,
surrounding and economic factors. Three of them can commutatively become the cause of a
delinquency or one of them may become the most dominant factor of misbehaviors committed by
juvenile.
The first factor isfamily. Issues such as the unharmonious situation and conflicts observed by
children may make them find another attention outside the home. In fact, there are various
negative influences that may disturb their mental and behavior. The unharmonious situation may
occur due to parents' divorce, overtime work, discriminative treatment and minimum
acknowledgment for children and etc. Consequently, the children feel that their family is not
supportive or attentive in solving their problems at school or surrounding. Besides that, they do
not see any exemplary role model and get equal treatment at home. In sociological perspective, it
is common and acceptable when the factor of unharmonious family could trigger the rule or norm
violation by committed by children as elaborated above. Nevertheless, if the misconduct is
triggered, supported, conditioned, coordinated by parents or elderly, the situation will be more
disastrous.
The second factor is environment. After family, the place for children to socialize is
the environment at school and the place where they play. Without any doubt, what children/youths

learn at school and who their friends are will influence their delinquency. Not all children from
unharmonious family become the offender because some offenders come from harmonious family.
It happens because the influence of their negative surroundings and friends.
Children from unharmonious background definitely will have higher possibility for
finding new environment that can accept them. If the place is positive, the children will receive
support and help to overcome their problems. On the other hand, if the environment is negative,
the children will be likely involved in misconducts including the activities violating law such as
stealing, pick-pocketing, brawling with friends at school and even using or distributing drugs. The
group activity or known as gang at school and at society should receive special attention from
parents, teachers and social figures. A gang membership or community is usually deemed as
negative. Regarding the high solidarity among its members, the children who crave for an
acknowledgment for their existence due to lack of attention from parents or school will neglect the
judgment of right or wrong. They may perform unacceptable behavior as long as they are accepted
unconditionally in that gang.
The third factor is economy. Since the beginning of criminology, economic demand
has became a classic motive of delinquency. The intention for juvenile delinquency may vary from
the desire to receive more pocket money or to fulfill the need of their family.
Three factors above are only a part of the trigger for juvenile delinquency. Three
institutions, viz family, school and environment should give special attention for the tendency of
juvenile delinquency. Parents should provide an extra care for their children as well as their
friends. Schools should undertake maximum supervision though the juvenile will just study
temporarily there. They may prevent the existence of ill-mannered gangs at school and students'
brawl. Lastly, the other important factor is social control from the social or religious figures and
the role of government as well as the private enterprise to provide a room for juvenile to play in
their environment so that they will not play at streets and create a negative community.
According to a study conducted at the area of Rembang police district commands,
the background of delinquency there is due to juvenile education and socialization. Most of the
offenders still attend junior and senior high school in which previously the negative socialization
and the lack of supervision result in criminal behavior. Besides that, their religious value has not
been implemented fully in a day to day basis. The social economic status of their parents also
influences the delinquency in that the parents’ low income may trigger juvenile misconduct (An
interview with Mrs. Rukmini, the first police adjunct officer on 3 August 2013). From that
interview, it can be emphasized that some factors influencing juvenile delinquency have different
potency. They include: 1) negative socialization; 2) lack of parents' supervision; 3) low education
background of parents and children; 4) low economic status of parents (poor); and 5) lack of
religious value implementation performed by children.
Based on a research in Brebes police district commands, factors influencing
juvenile delinquency are because: they are accustomed to see negative behaviors in their
surrounding (environmental factor), they have low education background (attended elementary
school), their socialization tends to be negative and the parents' economic and education level is
low (An interview result with Budi Hermanto, a juvenile who ever committed delinquency on 2
August 2013). Meanwhile, a study carried out at Jepara police district commands disclosed that
the backgrounds of juvenile delinquency are due to:
a. the previously existing delinquency, b. a broken home family (parents' divorce or separation
resulted in lack of care and attention for children), c. negative surrounding for children and lack of
parents' supervision for children. The low education background which is combined with negative
surrounding also influences the disruptive behavior of children. In this regard, children may
receive insufficient care and attention since they stay in aboarding school in that the guidance
from close relatives/adults there is very limited. The other factor is the local culture, the negative
and strict environment that may trigger misconducts. A negative/deviating socialization also

encourages children to commit delinquency (An interview result with Farid. W, the second police
brigadier).
From the aforementioned interview, it can be highlighted that the backgrounds or factors
influencing juvenile delinquency there is almost similar to other police district commands, either
in Rembang or Brebes. The delinquency happens due to juvenile’s existing misconduct, parents'
economic factor, negative socialization and surrounding, lack of parents' care and attention and
lack of religious value implementation.
In this regard, the analysis of investigation outcomes conducted by researcher indicates
that the factors influencing juvenile delinquency have something in common among three
sampling areas (Rembang, Jepara and Brebes police district commands). As a result, a relatively
similar approach was required in order to provide prevention and solution. To reduce the number
of delinquencies, efforts may be undertaken by parents or adults are as follow:
a. Providing sufficient attention and care for their children in each aspect.
b. Supervising and not too restricting their children. For example, they may allow their
children to do anything they like as long as the activities are normal. If according to their
supervision the activities are beyond the boundaries, parents shall explain impacts and
consequences of that negative behavior if the children insist on committing that
delinquency.
c. Allowing children to play with their friends whose age is 2 or 3 years older than them. If
they socialize with friends whose age is significantly older in that their lifestyle is
completely different, the children may imitate the style which should have not been
performed yet.
d. Monitoring the communication media such as television, internet, radio, cellphone, etc
sufficiently and intensively.
e. Particularly at school, providing counseling and guidance because children spend much
time there.
f. Providing religious study since childhood such as praying and visiting place of worship
according to their belief.
g. Supporting their hobby as long as it is positive. In this case, do not prevent them or limit
their opportunity to develop their positive interest and talent because restriction may
negatively influence their personality and confidence.
h. Becoming a comfortable place to share so that children receive sufficient support and
guidance to overcome their problems.
i. Providing an apprentice for youths to make them independent in fulfilling personal need or
at least to make them understand the parents' economic condition. The understanding
hopefully prevents them from negative behaviors such as stealing.
Regarding factors that influence juvenile delinquency, each of them has a different
influencing degree but generally they are dominant in juvenile delinquency. Therefore, rigorous
prevention and monitoring for each offender are necessary from the law enforcement, parents,
society or the related advocates.
The Most Appropriate Penal Mediation Model to Resolve Juvenile Cases
According to data obtained from each sampling area, it can be disclosed that when the
police officer scratch juvenile criminal or receive a report from the society, they will not directly
process it to litigation/trial. From the examination of such cases, they will bring those issues to a
meeting involving both parties, village chief and community leader through a mediation. If the
agreement is not achieved, the case will be subsequently processed to litigation. This procedure
has been frequently implemented for juvenile cases which are effectively handled by certain
officials from the Unit of Children and Women Protection in each police district command in
Central Java including three samples in this research.

In Rembang district command, the mediation is undertaken for juvenile cases involving
various parties including: 1) a village chief, 2) community leader, 3) families from both parties
and 4) local police officers. Altogether they find a solution through discussion consensus
agreement (An interview result with Mrs. Rukmini, the first police adjunct officer on 3 August
2013). Meanwhile in Jepara district command, when police officers catches or receives a report of
juvenile delinquency, they will not directly process it to litigation but the case will be solved
through a mediation. Initially, a meeting for both parties is conducted to initiate a
mediation/dispute resolution with kinship system. However, the right for further prosecution or
reconciliation will be placed upon the victim/reporter (An interview result with Farid W, the
second police brigadier Jepara district commands). The mediation process in Jepara involves a
number of parties including the victim/reporter, offender, parents of both parties, police and
community leader. The model undertaken here is by meeting both parties (the victim and offender)
and community leaders to find a win-win solution through the police facilitation and mediation. If
both parties agree, a memorandum of understanding and a statement letter are necessary to state
that the offender will not repeat his/her delinquency (when she/he does, a legal prosecution will be
undertaken). They sit together to discuss consensus agreement to find the best solution for both
parties.
In Brebes district command, when a criminal case committed by a juvenile, the police will
not directly proceed to prosecution. Both parties will be gathered in a meeting in advance to
reconcile the dispute through mediation. This process is undertaken by involving some parties
such as the victim and offender, the social figures, the religious figures and police apparatus. They
will discuss the best solution to benefit both parties and to maintain social social peace.
From the data of studies in three police district commands in Central Java namely Rembang,
Jepara and Brebes, it can be stated that three of them attempt to resolve juvenile delinquency cases
through panel mediation. When that procedure is unfeasible then the litigation/judicial is
undertaken. Furthermore, it can be disclosed that Rembang, Jepara and Brebes police district
commands in the mediation process involve similar parties namely families of both offender and
victim, community leaders and local police officers to discuss consensus agreement in resolving
the criminal case committed by the juvenile. That resolution is for the benefit of both parties
particularly for the children and generally for the welfare of society. From the involved
stakeholders in the penal mediation process, it can be concluded that the model applied in three
policy district commands in Central Java (Rembang, Jepara and Brebes) is in line with the
mediation model developed in Australian and New Zealand namely “Family and community
group conferences”. It involves the participation of society in the criminal justice system, the
offender and victim, families of both parties, other members of society, particular officials (such
as police and juvenile jury) and the supporters of the victim. The offender and his/her family are
expected to make a comprehensive consensus and to satisfy the victim as well as to prevent the
juvenile from future delinquencies.
Based on the researcher's analysis from the data in three police district commands, there is
still a possibility to resolve a juvenile delinquency case through litigation/judiciary if the
consensus through penal mediation is not achieved. In this regard, the procedure is only
undertaken for minor criminal cases (with the maximum threat of 1 year imprisonment) committed
by the juvenile. Therefore, the existing mediation model has not considered the type of
delinquencies committed by the juvenile (intended not only for minor but also major cases). For
future consideration, the procedure shall be in accordance with the latest regulation. For example,
the penal mediation can be performed for criminal cases committed by the juvenile with the threat
of seven year imprisonment in order to expand its scope through penal mediation. Besides that, the
highlight of this model shall be placed on consensus agreement undertaken since a long time ago
as the cultural heritage that shall be preserved.

CONCLUSION
According to the research conducted here, it can be concluded that the backgrounds or factors that
trigger the juvenile delinquencies include: the juveniles themselves (a potency for such
misconduct), parents' low economy, negative surrounding and socialization, lack of parents'
attention and lack of religious value implementation. In addition, the penal mediation model as the
dispute resolution alternative of juvenile delinquency case in Central Java is in accordance with
the mediation model of consensus agreement developed in Australia and New Zealand namely
family and community group conferences that involves the participation of society (criminal
judicial), the victim and offender, families of offender, other members of society, particular
officials (police officer and juvenile jury) and supporters of the victim. The offender and his/her
family is expected to make a comprehensive consensus and to satisfy the victim as well as to
prevent the juvenile for future delinquencies.
