ABSTRAKArtikel ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis konsep perlindungan korban melalui kompensasi dalam peradilan pidana anak sebagai wujud tanggungjawab negara. Peradilan Pidana Anak di Indonesia melalui Undang-Undang Nomor 11 Tahun 2012 mengedepankan penyelesaian perkara anak melalui keadilan restoratif yang memberikan perlindungan yang seimbang antara perlindungan pelaku anak melalui diversi dan perlindungan korban tindak pidana anak. Diversi yang memberikan perlindungan yang seimbang antara pelaku dan korban ini merupakan pembaharuan dalam hukum pidana anak yang berkeadilan untuk semua pihak (Victim-offender oriented). Keterlibatan korban/keluarganya dan pelaku/keluarganya sangat menentukan berhasil atau tidaknya diversi dalam penyelesaian perkara anak. Posisi pelaku/keluarganya dan korban/keluarganya adalah sejajar. Kepentingan kedua belah pihak harus sama dan seimbang. Perlindungan korban melalui kompensasi merupakan wujud tanggungjawab negara terhadap warga negara yang menjadi korban tindak pidana. Kondisi empirik menurut data Badilum MA menunjukan rendahnya keberhasilan diversi (4%), kegagalan diversi ini penyebab utamanya adalah tidak tercapainya kesepakatan ganti kerugian karena kesepakatan diversi hanya diserahkan sepenuhnya pada kesepakatan pelaku dan korban. Disinilah menunjukan bahwa negara abai terhadap perlindungan korban, seharusnya ketika negara melindungi kepentingan pelaku anak melalui diversi maka seharusnya negara juga menjamin perlindungan korbannya melalui kompensasi, sehingga ke depan diharapkan tingkat keberhasilan diversi akan semakin baik. Kata kunci: kompensasi; korban tindak pidana; peradilan pidana anak; perlindungan korban. ABSTRACT This article aimed to analyze the concept of victim protection through compensation in juvenile criminal justice as a form of state responsibility. Juvenile Criminal Court in Indonesia through Law Number 11 of 2012 prioritizes the settlement of juvenile cases through restorative justice providing balanced protection between juvenile offenders through diversion and protection for victims of juvenile crimes through reform of juvenile criminal law that is just for all parties (victim-offender oriented). The involvement of the victim and his family and the perpetrator and his family will greatly determine the success or failure of diversion in solving juvenile cases. The position of the perpetrator and his family and the victim and his family are equal. The interests of both parties should be equal and balanced. Protection of victims through compensation is a form of state responsibility towards citizens who are victims of criminal acts. The empirical condition according to Badilum's data showed the low success of diversion (4%). The failure of this diversion is the main cause of the failure to reach an agreement for compensation because the diversion agreement is only left to the agreement of the perpetrator and victim. This showed that the state was ignorant of victim protection. When the state protects the interests of juvenile through diversion, the state should also guarantee the protection of the victims through compensation. Hence, the success rate of diversion will hopefully be better in the future. Keywords: compensation; juvenile criminal court; victims of crime; victim protection.

Victim Protection

In the last few years, the crime victim has moved into the forefront of criminological research and criminal justice policy. This is a worldwide development. In many countries, including the Federal Republic of Germany, victim protection and victim compensation laws have been enacted. The extent to which such legal steps effect an actual improvement of the victims' situation remains largely unexamined. This paper presents the results of a German research project which examined the influence of the recently revised German victim protection law upon criminal law practice. Judges, prosecutors and lawyers were surveyed. A clear resistance by judges and prosecutors was discerned relative to implementing the victim protection rights. For them, the victim is still an outsider and a ‘trouble maker’ within the criminal proceedings. They see increased victim attention as involving additional trouble, effort, time, and possibly creating longer delays in proceedings. In contrast, the attitudes of the attorneys were more favorable toward including the victim in the criminal justice process.

Risk Of Relapse

Criminologically, the psychosocial and educational perspectives on the person who commits acts of aggressiveness, including sexual abuse, are based on several theoretical models of intervention, which are included in the bio-pathological, psychological and sociocultural perspectives. This is the very premise of the assisted desistance as a succession of stages developed within the criminal trial, and taking risk management as the fundamental principle applied in the custodial and probation system. Firstly, this article starts from a case study conducted in the Romanian probation system, which is presented at the “Fifth International Conference Multidisciplinary Perspectives in the Quasi-Coercive Treatment of Offenders. Probation as a field of study and research: From person to society” (2016). Secondly, it reflects the collaboration between prison and probation in the primary and secondary desistance using the programme ‘Reducing the Risk of Relapse’ (RRR) after prison, which uses the complementary ‘risk, needs and responsivity’ (RNR) model with the “Good Life Model” (GLM) based on combining the principle of individual responsiveness with that of social responsibility. Our arguments are – in the sense of highlighting the importance of individualizing the sanction – focusing on the contextualized narrative identity, from secondary desistance to ensure the continuity of the post-sentence rehabilitation and the protection of the crime victim.
