“…Isolating adolescent criminals from their environment out of suspicion, concern, or fear, combined by a punitive approach to punishing and enforcing activities, will result in additional criminal behavior and violence. Therefore, a new "juvenile justice" is required with a mission based on new principles, aims, policies, and programs (paradigm shift), which is expected to be more productive, responsive, and effective in fulfilling three interests (actors, victims, and society) (Long, 2022).…”

Law Number 11 of 2012 concerning the Juvenile Criminal Justice System states that children are a mandate and gift from God Almighty. This research then aims to see how restorative justice is applied in handling and resolving narcotics crimes by children. This research will be carried out using a descriptive qualitative approach. The data used in this research comes from the results of previous research or studies that still have relevance to this research. The results of this study found that, in general, the restorative justice approach used to handle and resolve narcotics crimes by children is still not in accordance and optimal with the provisions in Law Number 11 of 2012 concerning the Juvenile Criminal Justice System

“…Certain groups may especially be vulnerable to violence, such as individuals who are convicted of child molestation. They may be targeted as victims due to the general animosity toward sexual violence of vulnerable persons, resulting in low status (Long, 2022). The case of Catholic priest John Geoghan garnered international attention when he was killed in his cell by another incarcerated individual, Joseph Druce.…”

“…Violence between individuals who are incarcerated in prisons, termed prison interpersonal violence , includes both attempted and threatened harm toward others in prison (Gadon et al, 2006). Much like violence on the “outside,” there are innumerable reasons why individuals may engage in violence within prisons (Long, 2022). Criminological explanations for prison violence have centered around three factors: individual characteristics of those who are incarcerated, the nature of prison, and the prison administration or governance (Wooldredge, 2020).…”

Prison homicide, or homicides that occur between individuals who are incarcerated, has received a dearth of attention in scholarly literature. These homicides have increased over the several decades with devastating consequences for those housed within prison walls, correctional and administrative staff, the families of those incarcerated, and the communities from which they are removed. Perpetrators of prison homicides often continue to engage in violence despite incapacitation, calling into question the ability of the state to house individuals safely. When fatal violence occurs, victims of these homicides are constructed as deserving of violence. Drawing from critical criminological perspectives of state-sanctioned violence, I argue that treatment of these victims affects the legitimacy of the criminal justice system and public safety.
