JAKARTA In mid-March 2023, several criminal cases occurred involving children. Children as perpetrators and children as victims of crimes or drug cases. As happened in Bogor, a high school student died after being stabbed by another student. And singer Lilis Karlina's son was caught for distributing drugs. Not to mention the case of abuse by Mario Dandy, against David (17) who involved a underage woman, AG (15) as the perpetrator.

So many cases involving children are a concern for a number of parties in their relationship with the law. Public concerns about criminal cases involving school children are increasingly peaking.

The National Legal Development Agency (BPHN) is currently working to provide knowledge of law and Pancasila to children and students in the Program. Through the program, students will be provided with knowledge about the values of law and order, as well as the consequences of legal sanctions received if they commit acts that violate the law. In addition to legal guidance, students will also be given the content of Pancasila values that teach harmony and peace in diversity, "said Head of BPHN Widodo Ekatjahjana in his statement in Jakarta, Thursday, March 15.

As we all know, lately there have often been criminal acts such as brawls, persecution, bullying and drug trafficking involving students. Perpetrators of crimes and victims from among students themselves.

Of course, preventive and persuasive actions must be taken, in addition to repressive steps that have been taken by law enforcement officers. If these students are given a good understanding of the law, then these crimes can be prevented.

In resolving this problem, it requires cooperation from all parties, both internally and externally. Starting from parents, teachers, Ministries/Institutions in the field of education, the Pancasila Ideology Development Agency (BPIP), to the Provincial or Regency/City Government. BPHN will deploy functional law extension officials to synergize with advocates and legalists from Legal Aiders (PBH) in providing legal knowledge provision to schools, "added Widodo.
