The method used is a normative juridical approach using primary, secondary, and tertiary legal sources. Data analysis was carried out using a qualitative approach. The results of the research show that Klitih is a criminal act where the perpetrator is considered young or underage, so following the reform of the justice system for children, namely Law no. 11 of 2012 concerning the Juvenile Criminal Justice System which replaces Law no. 3 of 1997 concerning Children's Courts and Law Number 35 of 2014 concerning Amendments to Law Number 23 of 2002 concerning Child Protection.
