The article covers the issues of criminal law protection of the rights of minors in criminal proceedings, some problems of implementationof the principles of restorative justice for minors. In the context of social naturalism, the use of restorative justice for minorsis considered.The criminal process is the most traumatic for the psyche of children. A lawyer is the only person without whom it is impossibleto conduct criminal proceedings with a child. Unfortunately, all other people may be absent. In some cases, the child’s parents, next ofkin or legal representatives do not appear in court, and the participation of the appointed legal representative remains formal.As a matter of priority, in order to improve the situation regarding the criminal law protection of the rights of minors, it is expedientto start discussing systemic changes in national legislation and relevant work, including social work, which will create a basis forimproving the protection of juvenile rights in criminal proceedings.In conclusion, it should be concluded that only if all participants in criminal proceedings involving a child fully exercise their rightsand properly perform their duties, the tasks of such criminal proceedings will be performed and the child’s rights will be reliably protected.Given the above, it can be reasonably argued that in the current legislation of Ukraine (as of the date of this article) there areproblems of criminal protection of minors in criminal proceedings, problems of implementation of the principles of restorative justicefor minors, including the issue of exemption from criminal liability. Ways to solve problematic issues are analyzed.Some gaps in legislation that restrict or violate the rights of children in criminal proceedings need further settlement, includingin accordance with Council of Europe priorities. Proposals to improve the legislation include the introduction of the concept of “youngpeople” (up to 21 years) and the expansion of the possibility of releasing young people from criminal liability or punishment in case ofcommitting certain serious crimes.

Criminal Law in Indonesia which was ideally applied as the ultimate last weapon (ultimum remedium) in dealing with violations, has now shifted to become the main weapon (primum remedium). This is inseparable from the criminal law policy which is still oriented as a form of retaliation and punishment so that it prioritizes penal policies with a focus on imposing sanctions in the form of deprivation of liberty. Criminal law has always been used as the main weapon in solving various kinds of violations. This has led to a condition of over-criminalization which has created new problems at the applicative level. Reforming criminal law is considered very urgent to be carried out by accommodating a restorative justice approach in order to re-place criminal law as an ultimum remedium. First, the application of decriminalization policies in various laws and regulations in Indonesia. Second, the reorientation of the criminal procedural law system which gives the possibility of a criminal case settlement process out of court (afdoening buiten process). Keyword: Criminal Law; Restorative Justice; Ultimum Remedium.

Restorative justice is an alternative paradigm for dealing with the effects of crime and wrongdoing that seeks to bring healing to victims, offenders, and the community. Although a key element of social work's ethical code is the obligation to work toward social justice, this has been viewed primarily as efforts to ensure a fair distribution of resources and opportunities. Yet justice is also restorative in nature–-seeking to restore and enhance victims, offenders, and communities to fuller functioning. This article systematically reviews 80 social work peer-reviewed articles dealing with restorative justice. The role of social workers in restorative justice programs remains largely unknown. Suggestions are made for enhancing social work practice in the restorative justice arena.

The current Chinese social work licensure program does not mandatorily require formal social work education. This compromised policy is contradictory to the mission of formal social work education and the trajectory of professionalization in other Western countries. This study examined whether social work graduates differ from those who do not have formal social work education in terms of competency, commitment, and turnover intention. Results described the struggles of social work graduates in their experiences in the field. The diminishing role of formal social education may affect the professional identity of social workers in social work development in China.

Amongst the punishments that have been implemented in the Islamic criminal law is caning punishment. The caning punishment in Aceh is carried out directly and opens to the public. However, some Islamic countries carry out caning in private such as in prisons. In Aceh, the implementation of caning that has been carried out openly is based on Aceh Qanun Number 6 of 2014 concerning Jinayat Law and Qanun No. 7 of 2013 concerning Jinayat Procedural Law. However, in 2015, the implementation of the caning was carried out behind closed doors like in prisons. This is in accordance with the Governor Regulation Number 5 of 2018 about the Implementation of 'Uqubat Whip’ in the Correctional Institutions. Changes in the implementation of the caning punishment led to the pros and cons among the society. Many believe that the implementation of caning in a closed manner will affect the effectiveness of the punishment in reducing the number of shari'ah violations. Although there are many factors that influence the number of crime in society, the punishment and the implementation of the punishment itself are considered as the most important factors
