2. Birth of Law No.11 of 2012 on the Criminal Justice System of Children
Revision of Law NO. 3 of 1997 on the Criminal Justice System on Children.
A child is a God's mandate that has future goals as a successor generation of the nation.
Children are always considered, that when committing a crime, by law he can not be categorized solely responsible for (full responsibility) of the offenses already done.
Imprisonment is not the solution for children as criminals.

4. Causes of Imprisonment as a punishment for a child
The relatively low understanding of law enforcers over the important principles related to the Best Interest of the Child, especially for children in conflict with law.
The lack of a more technical rules (instructions executing on the field) on how non-penal decisions that must be executed at an empirical level.
Lack of facilities and infrastructure in the part of law enforcers to provide maximum service to the children in conflict with law.
If the transfer of punishment (diversion) or patterns of settlement out of court settlement (with the principle of restoration) are meant to be run, there has not been the same perception on the definition and model of diversion and restorative justice various among law enforcement officers .
The police will then be having courage to conduct or initiate diversion upon the fact that there is an amicable agreement made between the victim and the suspect.
