Diversion is the transfer of the settlement of children's cases from the criminal justice
process to a process outside of criminal justice. Provisions regarding diversion are
regulated in Supreme Court Regulation Number 4 of 2014 concerning Guidelines for
Implementing Diversion in the Juvenile Criminal Justice System and Law Number 11 of
2012 concerning the Juvenile Criminal Justice System, however, several differences were
found in the two laws and regulations. This study aims to determine whether there are
deviations in the Supreme Court Regulation No. 4 of 2014 with Law No. 11 of 2012 and
the legal rules to be used by judges. The method used in this study is a normative
research method that focuses on the problem of existing norms and is supported by the
results of interviews with judges. From the data obtained, an analysis was carried out,
and conclusions drawn using the deductive method stated that the provisions of the
Supreme Court Regulation Number 4 of 2014 were not a form of deviation from Law
Number 11 of 2012 but a compliment. In resolving child crimes with diversion, judges
adhere to Supreme Court Regulation Number 4 of 2014 concerning Guidelines for
Implementing Diversion in the Juvenile Criminal Justice System, so the implementation of
diversion must be carried out by the provisions of the law.
