Abstract

This research was conducted at Polres Wonogiri.Data were collected through interviews and document studies. In addition, library research was also conducted. Data analysis technique is done by qualitative descriptive method. Based on research conducted that the implementation of diversion is based on the poor handling of children in conflict with the law and the best interests for children. The role of the investigator is very important because it has authority in solving child crime. In practice, there were several obstacles such as lack of socialization about diversion. In addition, not all child cases can be resolved through a diversion attempt. The study also found that sometimes the victim's family did not want to choose a solution by way of diversion. In addition, investigators are guided by internal police regulations other than the prevailing laws and regulations. Keywords: The Role of Investigators in the Diversity Process
