Tinjauan Yuridis Undang-Undang No. 35 Tahun 2014 tentang Perlindungan Anak Berdasarkan Pelaksanaan Penanganan Anak Berkonflik dengan Hukum di Barak Militer Resimen Induk Kodam III Siliwangi dengan Surat Edaran No. 43/PK.03.04.Kesra Jawa Barat

Abstract

This research is motivated by the policy of fostering children in conflict with the law through a military disciplinary approach in West Java, which has generated debate from the perspective of child protection. This study aims to analyze the legal regulation of child protection, the conformity of child development programs in military barracks with child protection principles, and the implementation of such policies at the Resimen Induk Kodam III/Siliwangi. The research employed an empirical juridical method using statutory and empirical approaches. Data were obtained through literature study, interviews, and documentation. The results indicate that the development program is carried out through disciplinary education, physical training, and character building. However, this approach potentially neglects the psychological aspects of children and is not fully consistent with the principle of the best interests of the child under Indonesian child protection law.
