Abstract
Research with the title The Role of Psychologists and Psychiatrists in Children Perpetrating Crimes in Child Development Institutions was carried out by the Class II Correctional Institution in Jayapura City. The method used in this research is empirical legal research. The problems of this research are: What is the rationale for including Child Development in the Child Protection Justice System, what are the coaching efforts carried out by the Jayapura City Class II Penitentiary and how are Psychologists and Psychiatrists implemented in coaching child convicts at the Jayapura City Class II Correctional Institution. So, this needs to be researched because there are perpetrators of criminal acts who, after leaving or having completed their training period, will return to a training institution or are referred to as recidivists. It is hoped that this research can provide input to the Government, Development Institutions, and knowledge for the community.
