Sanctioning minors involves two dimensions: Diversi and Restorative Justice as stipulated in Articles 1 paragraph 6 and 7 of Law No. 11 Year 2012 concerning the Juvenile Justice System. Factors underlying juvenile gambling offenses include internal factors such as religious factors and factors of curiosity or desire to try, and external factors such as economic factors, environmental factors, family factors and educational factors. The judge's consideration in imposing sanctions on juvenile gambling offenders must be based on the principle of the best interests of the child as mandated in Law No. 11 Year 2012 concerning the Juvenile Justice System. From a criminological perspective, it is important to prevent minors from being labeled as gambling offenders, which can affect their life development. | en_US |
