The Role of the Prosecutor's Office of the Republic of Indonesia in Optimizing Restorative Justice Policy in Indonesia
Abstract
The law enforcement system in Indonesia is currently facing a crisis caused by various factors. Restorative justice is one of the policies aimed at resolving criminal cases by involving the perpetrator, victim, the families of the perpetrator/victim, and other relevant parties in seeking a fair resolution that emphasizes restoration to the original state rather than retaliation. To achieve the goals of this policy, the Attorney General’s Office of the Republic of Indonesia has issued a restorative justice policy to achieve restorative justice in the field of criminal law throughout Indonesia. The research method in this study utilizes qualitative-descriptive research, relying on the process of data collection through interviews and a literature review. Through this study, it has been found that (1) the fundamental concept of restorative justice policy in Indonesia and (2) the optimization of restorative justice policy in Indonesia have been implemented through public awareness campaigns, cooperation with local governments, the establishment of restorative justice centers, and the facilitation of peace through mediation.
