Not all cases of Diversion are successfully deliberated. Many factors hinder
the process of seeking Diversion, especially at the investigation stage. Investigators
are obliged to carry out Diversion as early as possible by conducting deliberations.
In this case, the investigator is only a facilitator by directly involving the
perpetrator and victim following the Juvenile Criminal Justice System Law
provisions (Law Number 11 of 2012). The role of the investigator as a facilitator is
intended to achieve peace between the victim and the child and resolve child cases
outside the judicial process, thereby reducing the negative impact of the child's
involvement in the court process. Still, the fact is that in the case of crimes,
especially abuse, it was found that there was no successful implementation of
Diversion carried out at the Yogyakarta Police Station. That fact is indicated by an
affidavit requesting that the perpetrator be punished and processed like an adult
offender. Legal research is carried out in empirical research that focuses on social
facts. Data was collected by interviewing interviewees and respondents and
conducting document studies. The research locations are Polresta Yogyakarta and
Balai Correctional Center Class 1 Yogyakarta. The result of this study is that the
factors causing the unsuccessful Diversion at the investigation stage are the factors
of the perpetrator's child's family, the victim's family, the value of the loss, the
investigator, and the victim's physical condition due to the perpetrator's child's
actions. Based on the findings in the field, it is also known that the ability of
investigator himself still needs to understand the concept of Diversion and, from
the number of existing investigators, still needs a training or vocational certificate
regarding the implementation of Diversion. In this case, the author advises
investigators to conduct training on the juvenile criminal justice system so that the
implementation of Diversion can run well.
