- This study discussed the implementation of Article 340 of the Criminal Code to Children. Based on the Decision of PN Bale Bandung Number 02 / Pid.Sus-Anak / 2017 / PN.Blb, the judge ruled out the principle of lex specialis derogate legi generali which required diversion based on restorative justice in the punishment of the child. This is a normative study using secondary data. The data were ganthered by means of literature review analyzed qualitatively and concluded deductively. The results of the study showed that the legal basis of the principle of lex specialis derogate legi generali in the criminal justice system was the provision of Article 63 paragraph (2) of the Criminal Code, that if a crime occurs, one of which is the provision of general criminal law, and the other is a special criminal law then the specific criminal law provisions are imposed on the perpetrators. Judges’ legal considerations overrode the principle of lex specialis derogate legi generali by applying Article 340 of the Criminal Code to Children based on the decision above which had judicially fulfilled a sense of justice for the child and the victim’s family, namely imprisonment of more than 7 years; deeds go beyond child delinquency; and children’s rights limited to the rights of victims and their families. While in non-juridicial approach, his actions were classified as sadistic; forthright; wrong association; lack of parental attention; regret their actions; and the child had been forgiven by the victim’s parents. The appeal of the Public Prosecutor (JPU) did not fulfill the principle of restorative justice because legal remedies were carried out by the prosecutor not the legal counsel of the child; legal remedies were not supported by appeal memory; and the demand for a jail term of 9 years was only decided by the first-level court for 5 years and was strengthened by the second-level court.
