Restorative justice perspective in this paper sees a penal mediation as a non-penal means within the Law. This institution has been utilised as an alternative in the Indonesian Criminal Justice System to deliver dignified justice in criminal cases. Although this model appeared as vague, since stipulated only between the lines in the Indonesia Criminal Code (KUHP) and the Criminal Procedure Code (KUHAP), the concept of restorativejustice has been existing in the Indonesian Volksgeist (the Spirit of the Indonesian, i.e. Pancasila) from the begining of time. This author would argue bellow that penal mediation has been used to mitigate penal cases by law enforcement institutions in order to achieve dignified justice in the concept of restorative justice, to serve human as human beings recognised by the Law in the Pancasila Legal System. The police may use penal mediation basing upon their discretionary power and the public prosecutors may also use their own prerogative power or the what so called prosecutors power of opportunity in place of the due process and make creative innovations, beginign from misdemeanor or complaint offenses. Even Indonesian judges have broad discretionary authority to use penal mediation in solving criminal cases so that the dignified justice, can be obtained, particularly by victims de lege lata.

Abstract                                                                              Children are the mission and gift of God Almighty, and we must always protect them, because children are a nature that is attached to human dignity and rights and must be protected. Child protection is any activity that guarantees and protects children and their rights so that they can live, grow and participate as best as possible according to human dignity and receive protection from violence and discrimination. For children who have violated the law, it is strongly influenced by factors other than children, because children's criminal behavior is usually a process of imitating or being influenced by or influenced by the negative behavior of adults or people around them. Law Number 11 of 2012 concerning the Juvenile Criminal Justice System includes a concept in the settlement of underage criminal cases, namely the concept of restorative justice. In solving criminal acts, this concept is realized by involving the perpetrator, victim, perpetrator / victim's family, and other related parties to find a fair solution that prioritizes restitution rather than revenge.

Constitutional System

The juvenile criminal justice system according to Article 1 of Law Number 11 Year 2012 concerning the Criminal Justice System for Children (hereinafter referred to as SPPA Law) is the whole process of resolving cases of children in conflict with the Law from the investigation stage to the guidance stage after undergoing a crime. The application of SPPA involves many parties consisting of the police, prosecutors, legal advisors, courts, and correctional institutions, and child development. One of the law enforcers (structures) in SPPA that has a significant role is the prosecutor's office. The Prosecutor's Office as the prosecuting body that has been given the authority to solve the problems of children in conflict with the Law (hereinafter referred to as ABH) by using diversion to realize Restorative Justice, as stipulated in the provisions of Article 7 Paragraph 1 of the SPPA Law. What if, in this stage, the diversion was not sought for ABH? What is the form of violations experienced by ABH in the criminal justice system, especially at the prosecution stage? The method used is legal/normative research based on laws and regulations relating to one another. The Indonesian Attorney's Office in the constitutional system, as a body related to judicial authority, with a very dominant function as the dominus litis principle, controls the case process that determines whether a person can be declared a defendant and is submitted to the Court based on legal evidence according to the Law, and as ambtenaar executive implementing the decision and court decisions in criminal cases. The SPPA Law material test is a struggle in the context of maintaining the constitutional rights of law enforcers in their duty and is not intended to reject diversion in handling ABH. This provision is related to the protection of the law enforcement profession guaranteed by the constitution. Even though the Supreme Court has declared article 96 of the SPPA Law being applied unconstitutional or revoked, it does not mean allowing law enforcers the police, judges, and prosecutors not to carry out diversion obligations.

Legislative Measures

Increased recognition of the need for victims of crime to be integrated into the criminal justice system and to receive adequate reparation has led, in a number of jurisdictions, to legislative measures to encourage the greater use of compensation orders. The Sentencing Act 1997 (Tas) (which came into force on 1 August 1998) went further and made compensation orders compulsory for property damage or loss resulting from certain crimes. This article shows that this measure has failed victims and argues that they have been used in the service of other ends. Mandatory compensation orders are a token gesture repackaged as restorative justice to gain public support for the administration of the criminal justice system.Ways in which compensation orders could be made more effective and the possibilities of accommodating restorative compensation into a conventional criminal justice system are explored.
