T This thesis examines the implementation of diversion in cases involving minors charged with the criminal offense of possessing sharp weapons, with specific reference to court determination number 18/pid.sus-anak/2024/pn jkt.pst. the primary focus lies on the judicial discretion exercised in applying diversion beyond the normative confines of article 7 paragraph (2) of law number 11 of 2012 concerning the juvenile criminal justice system, the potential of such discretion to serve as a legal precedent within juvenile justice practices, and the effectiveness of post-diversion monitoring mechanisms. employing a normative juridical approach supplemented by empirical data from interviews, the findings indicate a judicial tendency to prioritize the best interests of the child, even if it necessitates a departure from formal sentencing limitations. nonetheless, a critical concern arises regarding the inadequacy of supervisory mechanisms following diversion agreements, which may compromise the integrity of restorative justice objectives. these findings underscore the necessity for a more adaptive regulatory framework and a revitalization of post-diversion monitoring systems to uphold legal certainty and ensure the effective protection of children in conflict with the law.
