CHILD CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM AGAINST NARCOTICS CRIMES AGAINST CHILDREN

Abstract

Every year there are children who are victims of drug trafficking, even though it is fluctuating. Based on data reported to the Indonesian Child Protection Commission (KPAI), children who use Narcotics, Psychotropics and Addictive Substances (Drugs) from 2014 to 2019 reached 394 children, where each year more than 20 children under age who use drugs. For children as Narcotics, Psychotropic and Addictive Substances (Drugs) Distributors from 2014 to 2019, there were 153 children. This is inseparable from various factors such as educational, economic, environmental and social factors. Given that children are not only perpetrators but also children as victims, in this case, protection of children's rights is needed. So that even though children are considered as victims, their actions still require accountability. This study uses normative research methods and uses literature study legal material collection techniques, namely techniques to collect data through reviewing various literatures and internet studies. The results of this study are to explain and explain the dynamics of drug trafficking involving children as drug couriers and how criminal responsibility is to children as drug couriers.
