This klitih action is carried out consciously by the perpetrators, and even
consciously they (the perpetrators) aim to injure others. Even more ironic is that
not a few of them do this by using sharp weapons such as swords, motorcycle gear,
celurit, and so on to cause serious injuries to their "opponents". This is what
strengthens the statement that juvenile delinquency committed by these minors is
an act that can be subject to criminal sanctions.The type of legal research
conducted is empirical research. The type of legal research conducted is normative
research. This research focuses on legal norms. Law enforcement is very necessary,
but punishment is not always prison. Punishment can vary, for students or children
it is better to be sentenced to learn to deepen certain knowledge according to their
talents and interests. It is hoped that the power of reason, creativity and openness
to the view that life must be harmonious, and peace with others can be created. Not
imposing a criminal sanction of imprisonment for the perpetrators of the Klitih
crime committed by students in Yogyakarta is not included in the elimination of
criminal acts. As the author has described, the non-fulfillment of the elements of
justification and excuse, which are the main elements in the reasons for criminal
abolition, is the reason why imprisonment is not imposed on the Klitih perpetrators
committed by students in Yogyakarta.
