Abstract

The purpose of this writing is to find out and describe the implementation of rehabilitation measures for child narcotics addicts in Palangka Raya City as a fulfillment of the principles of diversion. The approach method in writing uses a sociological juridical approach. The results of the research carried out stated that the implementation of rehabilitation for children who abuse narcotics in practice is still not in accordance with existing laws and regulations, namely where the existing regulations are supposed to rehabilitate children who abuse narcotics but this provision is never implemented, more children are punished than rehabilitated. Bearing in mind Articles 56, 57, 58, 59 concerning Narcotics ensure that narcotics addicts and victims of narcotics abuse are required to undergo medical rehabilitation and social rehabilitation so that children of narcotics abusers do not experience narcotics addiction again, both mentally and socially. As an effort to implement solutions for children dealing with drug cases, rehabilitation should be the main choice in the juvenile criminal process. To restore the rights of children who have been robbed by the absence of rehabilitation, law enforcers must return to the principles of diversion in handling cases of child drug addicts.
