Drug abuse among children is an increasingly alarming phenomenon due to its serious impact on the future of the younger generation. This study aims to analyze the legal, social, and psychological aspects of children involved in drug-related crimes, while evaluating the effectiveness of rehabilitative approaches as an alternative to criminal punishment. According to Law No. 11 of 2012 on the Juvenile Criminal Justice System, children should receive special treatment such as diversion and restorative approaches. However, in practice, many children are still subjected to repressive measures and sentenced to imprisonment without adequate rehabilitation. This study also highlights the social and psychological impacts experienced by children, such as mental stress, social stigma, and disrupted access to education and a healthy developmental environment. One proposed solution is music therapy as a form of rehabilitation focused on emotional and character recovery. With a humanistic approach and the fulfillment of children's rights, it is hoped that the rehabilitation process can be more effective in preventing recidivism and restoring children's social functions in society. The findings of this study underscore the urgency of synergizing law enforcement, social services, and a human rights-based approach in addressing drug cases involving children.
