Juridical Study of the Expansion of Criminal Settlement Through a Restorative Justice Approach

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the expansion of the resolution of criminal acts through a restorative approach and analyze efforts to prevent restorative justice trading practices. While the urgency of carrying out this research is to examine the implementation of restorative efforts that have provided peace and recovery for victims. The restorative justice cannot be implemented because it is hampered by the requirements contained in the police and prosecutor's regulations. The type of research used in this research is empirical legal research with an interdisciplinary approach. The results of this research state that efforts must be made to harmonize police regulations regarding Handling Crimes Based on Restorative Justice and Prosecutor's Regulations regarding Terminating Prosecution Through Restorative Justice. This is because the police regulations regarding restorative justice are broader than the prosecutor's regulations regarding restorative justice. The novelty found in this research is the need to expand the resolution of criminal acts through restorative justice which is oriented towards restoring the rights of victims and preventing the occurrence of criminal acts in the future by perpetrators and society in general.
