Abstract

Nowadays, not only adults but also children are often faced with the law (children who are in conflict with the law or ABH). One of the reasons is that children still have psychological aspects that are unstable and immature, so they cannot think properly about the impact that will accompany the bad behavior they are doing. According to Law Number 35 of 2014 concerning Amendments to Law Number 23 of 2002 concerning Child Protection (Child Protection Law) states that a child is someone who is not yet 18 (eighteen) years old, including children who are still in the womb. The number of ABH cases is increasing every day. This shows that ABH requires special protection. Legal protection, both mandated by the constitution and laws and regulations, one of the regulatory instruments is the SPPA Law. The purpose of holding juvenile justice is not only prioritizing criminal punishment, but also protecting the child's future from a psychologic aspect by providing protection, guidance and education.
