Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of rehabilitation programs for
juvenile offenders in Social Welfare Organizing Institutions (LPKS) and to examine the
synergism between Juvenile Special Development Institutions (LPKA) and LPKS within
the juvenile criminal justice system. This research employs an empirical juridical method
with a descriptive-analytical approach, conducted through library research and field
studies at LPKS Nirmala Banda Aceh. The results indicate that, normatively, the
regulation of juvenile rehabilitation has been comprehensively governed under Law
Number 11 of 2012 concerning the Juvenile Criminal Justice System and Law Number
35 of 2014 concerning Child Protection, both of which emphasize a rehabilitative
approach and the best interests of the child. However, in its implementation, the
effectiveness of rehabilitation programs in LPKS remains suboptimal due to limitations
in budget, facilities and infrastructure, human resources, and the absence of standardized
technical guidelines. Furthermore, the synergism between LPKA and LPKS is still weak,
as reflected in the lack of coordination and the inconsistency of rehabilitation programs.
This condition results in the rehabilitation and social reintegration process not being
carried out optimally. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen institutional coordination,
develop integrated rehabilitation standards, and enhance resource capacity to establish an
effective and sustainable juvenile rehabilitation system
