This article discusses the application of diversion in juvenile criminal justice system. So far in the criminal justice system, punishment of juvenile perpetrators of crimes did not create justice for the perpertrators and victims. On the other hand, the system also leaves another problem that has not been solved eventhough the perpetrators have been unished. Noting one of the principles in the protection of children, which is the best interests of the child, criminal cases with children as perpetrators should be settled outside the criminal mechanism generally referred to as diversion. Settlement by way of diversion is expected to create a solution that is balanced so as to create justice for both perpetrators and victims. Nevertheless, the diversion can not be applied to all of the criminal act. Diversion can only be applied in offenses committed by children which are sanctioned by penalty of no more than seven years imprisonment and the offence is not a repetition of crime (recidive).
