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.
