Children are the next generation of the nation and have a very important role to lead and advance the nation. Children often have problems when facing the law, which is an subject. This study aims to determine the legal handling of children who commit crimes. It uses an empirical sociological approach or an approach through direct surveys in the field and collects secondary data through library studies. The research specification used is descriptive analytical, which is an effort to analyze and explain legal problems related to objects with a comprehensive and systematic description of everything related to the handling of children in conflict with the law. Handling of children who commit crimes requires a different legal approach from the adult criminal justice system, namely prioritizing restorative justice in accordance with Law Number 11 of 2012.
