Abstract

Based on the Juvenile Criminal Justice System Law of the government focuses on Restorative Justice and Diversion which focuses on the recovery of perpetrators rather than convictions such as on criminal acts committed by adults. The establishment of this law is intended to be able to eliminate the stigma of society towards children as criminals / crimes, it is hoped that this law will make the community aware that children are still in a period of self-development, therefore they have not been able to fully account for their actions. It’s referred to as Juvenile Delinquency in criminology. This study aims to determine the implementation of assistance by community counselors to children who conflict with the law in online trials and find out the obstacles faced by correctional supervisors or community counselors in the implementation of assistance to children in online trials. The research method used is empirical juridical research with a qualitative approach. Data sources based on primary data are obtained through interview, observation, and documentation techniques. Research results showed that during the trial conducted online, the correctional assistant at the correctional center was not fully beside children who conflict with the law, making it vulnerable to violations of children’s rights. Factors that hinder correctional advisers in the implementation of child assistance in online trials are the long distance of online trial venues, as well as the limited number of Special Child Assistance Institutions.
