Child violence cases in Jayapura City demonstrate a distinctive pattern of legal settlement characterised by the strong coexistence of customary law and the formal juvenile criminal justice system. While national legislation mandates diversion and restorative justice as primary mechanisms in handling children in conflict with the law, empirical findings reveal that most cases are resolved through indigenous customary forums known as para-para adat. This study aims to analyse the forms of settlement applied to child violence cases and to identify the constraints encountered in implementing both customary mechanisms and the formal juvenile justice system. The research employs a normative-empirical approach by combining statutory analysis with field data obtained from law enforcement institutions, legal aid organisations, and community respondents. The findings indicate that approximately ninety percent of cases between 2019 and 2024 were settled through customary mechanisms involving collective responsibility and the payment of customary fines as symbolic and material restoration. Diversion mechanisms under the formal system were rarely implemented. Although customary settlement is perceived as flexible, culturally legitimate, and socially restorative, several obstacles persist, including disagreement over compensation, inability to fulfil customary obligations, and limited awareness of restorative justice procedures. The study highlights the need to harmonise legal pluralism within child protection policies to ensure that customary practices align with the best interests of the child and national legal standards.

This research discusses the increasing child violence in Bintan Regency every year. The purpose of this research is to analyze the implementation of collaborative governance in addressing violence against children. The research uses a descriptive qualitative method with data collection techniques through observation, interviews, and documentation. The theory used is the collaborative governance theory by Ansell & Gash, which consists of five indicators: face to face, trust building, commitment to process, shared understanding, and intermediate outcomes. The conclusion of this research shows that collaborative governance in addressing child violence in Bintan Regency has been implemented, with collaboration between the government, child protection agencies, and the community. The indicators of face to face, trust building, and shared understanding have been quite good through communication and coordination among the actors. However, the indicators of commitment to process and intermediate outcomes still face challenges such as changes in positions, sectoral egos, and time constraints. Although services for victims have started to improve, the rate of child violence remains high and many cases are resolved peacefully. An increase in commitment and coordination is needed to strengthen protection efforts and elevate the status of Child-Friendly Districts.
