This study aims to determine and analyze the efforts of the Demak Resort Police in resolving criminal acts of assault on minors and the obstacles and solutions of the Demak Resort Police in resolving criminal acts of assault on minors. The approach used is empirical juridical, with descriptive analytical research specifications. The data used are primary and secondary data.

The obstacles of the Demak Police in resolving the crime of assaulting minors include the lack of understanding of investigators about diversion and restorative justice, not all units have child-friendly spaces and special investigators for children, and minimal cooperation with schools, DP3A, or children's social institutions.
