Keywords:
Children, Drug abuse, Juvenile justice, Legal protection, NarcoticsAbstract
This research addresses the pervasive issue of drug abuse, extending its reach across various societal segments, even into remote villages where it influences children in the midst of cognitive development. The study pursues two primary objectives: firstly, to investigate legal protection initiatives for children entangled in drug abuse, and secondly, to comprehend the forms of legal protection within the juvenile justice system. Employing a Juridical Normative approach, the research employs descriptive analytical methods to examine relevant legislation, incorporating legal theories and the practical implementation of positive law pertaining to children affected by drug abuse. The research unfolds in two stages, encompassing library research and field research, with conclusions drawn through a qualitative juridical normative method. The findings underscore two crucial points. Firstly, legal protection endeavors for children manifest in safeguarding their freedom and fundamental rights. In Indonesia, legislative measures such as Law No. 35 of 2014, amending Law No. 23 of 2002 on Child Protection, and Law No. 35 of 2009 on Narcotics, have been enacted to fortify child protection and combat drug abuse. Secondly, the research elucidates the forms of protection afforded to children implicated in drug abuse crimes within the juvenile criminal justice system of Indonesia, as defined by Law No. 11 of 2012 concerning the Juvenile Criminal Justice System. This legal framework permits the processing of children, including those involved in drug abuse, through formal criminal justice proceedings. The study contributes to an enhanced understanding of legal protective measures for children grappling with drug abuse, spanning both preventive efforts and the treatment of juvenile offenders within the Indonesian legal landscape.
