Article 5 paragraph (1) of Law Number 11 of 2012 on the Juvenile Criminal Justice System states that the juvenile criminal justice system must prioritize a restorative justice approach. One implementation of restorative justice at the Banda Aceh City Police is found in Article 362 of the Criminal Code. However, in the implementation of diversion based on restorative justice, there are still several challenges in its execution at the Banda Aceh City Police. The purpose of this thesis is to explain the implementation of diversion based on restorative justice for children committing theft in the jurisdiction of the Banda Aceh City Police, the obstacles in implementing diversion for minors committing theft in the Banda Aceh City Police jurisdiction, and the efforts made to overcome these challenges in implementing diversion based on restorative justice for children committing theft in the Banda Aceh City Police jurisdiction. To gather data, field research and library research were conducted using a juridical-empirical method. Field research was carried out through interviews with respondents and informants. Library research was conducted by reading books, journals, and regulations. The research findings reveal that diversion at the investigation level is the initial approach for handling juvenile crimes, implemented by the Women and Children Protection Unit through mediation. However, in the process of implementing diversion based on restorative justice at the Banda Aceh City Police, several challenges were found, such as low public understanding, victims' reluctance to reconcile, high restitution demands, and a lack of supporting facilities. To address these challenges, the Banda Aceh City Police has made several efforts, including conducting public socialization, taking personal approaches to the parties involved, coordinating with relevant stakeholders, conducting routine patrols, and emphasizing the role of parents. It is recommended that all parties cooperate by following the mediation procedures conducted by the police and always prioritize family aspects. Parents should closely monitor their children's behavior during their development into adulthood, as parental involvement is a key factor in preventing criminal behavior by children.
