Abstract

. Drug abuse becomes a ruthless crime because if we trace it not only adults who are entangled in this case, children also do not escape the bondage of narcotics. This study aims to describe the imposition of criminal law and diversion on children who use drugs and victims of narcotics crimes. The library method is used to examine this case which is also qualitative research. This study found that imposing a rehabilitation sentence, either non-institutional or institutional treatment of children to maintain the rights of children. The conclusion is that narcotics crimes against children, both users, and victims, often trap children in a vicious narcotics circle. There needs to be a particular application in networks involving children in the distribution of narcotics, an international crime. Implementing this diversion can be a bridge in court rulings against children engaged in narcotics trafficking networks.
