Restorative Justice for All in Child Criminal Case

Cases of violence that occur in children and end in criminal penalties are indeed quite heartbreaking.

But what if in this case the child is not only the victim, but also the perpetrator.

It's not only heartbreaking to see it, but questions arise in our hearts, how far has the supervision and system built up in the community so that incidents like this are often repeated.

When this matter is brought to the criminal line, the complaint report with or without offense at the Police will then be transferred to the Prosecutor's Office when there are sufficient files.

But the problem is, why do we often see a problem must be solved by means of retaliation.

Things like this are actually no longer relevant when you look at the process of forming laws like that that happened long ago during the Roman era.

Rome is cruel, that's the spirit that people want to put in the minds of people at that time so they don't dare to commit crimes. But is it still relevant to be applied today?

Back to the case of violence that led to a criminal report to the police. It has become a necessity, when mediation as the initial stage of case resolution is used as a preventive measure for the first time when this happens.

The police must be maximal in mediating before following up this matter for investigation.

What if mediation fails and the case continues to the Prosecutor's Office?
