Abstract


Juvenile delinquency is a social problem that requires a comprehensive approach from legal, educational, and social aspects. Legal Aid Institutions (LBH) have a strategic role in providing legal protection, education, and assistance for children who are at risk or facing the law. This study aims to analyze the role of LBH Al Kautsar in the prevention of child delinquency through a qualitative approach with case studies. Data was collected through interviews, observations, and document analysis. The results of the study show that LBH Al Kautsar plays a role in legal education for the community, assistance for children who are facing the law, and mediation as an alternative to resolving cases outside the judicial channels. LBH also collaborates with schools, law enforcement, and social organizations to create a conducive environment for children. With a legal protection-based approach and cross-sectoral collaboration, LBH not only helps children facing legal problems but also plays a role in building public awareness to prevent child delinquency. This research contributes to understanding the role of LBH in the prevention of child delinquency and becomes the basis for the development of more effective and sustainable child protection policies.
